Last Minute Prom Style Tips!

Hi prommers!
How are you all doing with your prom plans? Did anyone have their prom yet? Mine is in just 2 weeks! Eeep!

I convinced two more of my friends to register for prom -- woo for my group getting bigger! Remember, just because you don't want a date doesn't mean you can't still attend! You'll have a total ball at the ball with pals!

Last Minute Prom Preparations!
Poshing up my sis for GaGa

Dearest Readers,
It's finally here! The week of prom! Last weekend, I went to Lady Gaga's epic concert at the Electric Factory, so I feel like I've thoroughly brushed up on my dance moves. I mean, Gaga's best advice is to "Just Dance," so I may as well follow that mantra! But if dancing was my only worry, prom would be quite easy. Unfortch, with two proms in two consecutive days, I need to plan ahead for my beauty regime.

Get Pumped for Prom!

Hi readers!
There's less than two weeks until prom, and I've been feeling fab! With the weather finally warming up and spring making its elusive appearance, I am tempted to grab my largest pair of Jackie O sunglasses and a big ol' bottle of SPF 40 and break out a beach blanket to catch a few rays while jamming along to some hot hits. In order to get me pumped for my personal night of celebrity-dom, the long-awaited prom, I've compiled a pretty sweet list of Studio 54-inspired music and stylish, classic flicks.

Keep reading for my suggestions for a summery mix of glam prom-inspired flicks and tunes!

Treacherous Tanning
My friend's prom!

So unfortunately, last Friday was my high school's senior prom. There wore gorgeous dresses, fine dining, a night of dancing... and no Kristen! I was in Saint Louis, which despite its many charms, can't hold a candle to prom. However, I already creeped as many pictures as I possibly could have, so it's almost like I was there, at least in spirit.

As the gossip trickles in from the big night that I missed out on, I've become really preoccupied by one huge prom trend... tanning!

Dream Dress Shopping!

What up, guys?

I hope you had a fantastic week! Have you been thinking about your dream dress? Did you go shopping? Did you find it? I took my own advice (see evidence, left)!

My BFF Sophia and I began our expedition for her dress on a sour note. I had a list of promising shops to check out, but the first two were not at all what we were looking for. Luckily, the third store had a whole prom section.

Elysia's Dress Shopping Tips!
My prom dress shopping crew

Hi guys!

Last week, I left ya hangin' about the drams! My friends have been totally chill but there is the serious date debate. I am going with my best friend(s); we'll be each others dates and we wanna recruit more peeps! But the other singles in the gang are searching for some randoms to escort them! Whatever...

"Prom Dress" makes two images rush to mind. First: the perfect dress to laugh and dance and have fun in with your best friends. Second: an unfortch soul in a huge and fluffy or too-snug dress with a handful of misplaced cut-outs. Let's avoid this, ladies. Click on to catch my prom dress shopping tips!

The Look
Goin' for the Lady GaGa look.

Hi everyone!
It's me, back for prom blog take TWO! So I'm not sure if I am emphasized this point before, but prom season is FULL of drama. Case in point: I can't attend my own school's prom. I recently found out that I am a finalist for a scholarship, so I am being whisked away for an interview weekend (YAY!) But I AM a prom blogger, after all, so this situation had to be remedied with haste, haste, haste!

Hello! And welcome to my 2009 prom blog on Alloy!

I'm Elysia, and I couldn't be happier to be this year's prom blogger. I'm from a suburb in Philadelphia, and I attend a large public school where prom is a huge deal. Girls (and even some guys!) plan for years, find dates 7, 8, 9 months in advance, sketch out their perfect prom night...

I have definitely dreamed about my own senior prom... but a little bit differently! Check out my theories and thoughts on prom! Click on!
