10 Prom Night Essentials

Written by Nicole Garrity on . Posted in DIY, Fashion, How To, Life, Prom, Shopping in Buffalo, Uncategorized

  1. Lip Gloss or LipstickAfter you are finished with your makeup for prom, make sure to bring the lip gloss or lipstick that you used with you! After hours of talking and even dinner, you will absolutely need to reapply!
  2. Gum or Mints. I’m not saying that you have bad breath, but always be prepared just in case! You never know what you’ll end up eating or drinking throughout the night, but you’ll be prepared god forbid!
  3. Safety pins or Double Sided Tape. Malfunctions happen all the time, so it is just better to be safer than sorry! You may not end up needing them, but a fellow girlfriend may! Safety pins are essential in case a zipper or strap breaks! Double sided tap is crucial if you have a plunging neckline!
  4. Bobby Pins, Mini Hairspray and Hair Ties. If you have your hair in an up do, make sure you bring spare bobby pins and hairspray! Your hair will only hold through so many dances, so make sure you can fix it when it starts to fall apart.
  5. Compact Mirror and Concealer. We all sweat, so make sure you have concealer to help reapply your makeup if you start to sweat it off.
  6. Mini Nail File. Just in case your manicure doesn’t hold up!
  7. iPhone or Cell Phone. You have to make sure to take tons of pictures during this unforgettable night! Bring a mini charger too just in case! Capture all of the memories that you can!
  8. Mini Perfume and Mini Deodorant. You can never be too over prepared! I love bringing roll on perfume because they take up no space and you can always reapply easily! Get yourself a mini stick of deodorant too, you never know if you’ll work up a sweat dancing the night away!
  9. Band aids. Accidents happen, so just be prepared! It could be something as simple as a hangnail or maybe someone steps on your toe, at least you’ll have a band aid ready to go! No one wants to bleed on their dress!
  10. Blotting Papers. I swear by Neutrogena Shine- Control Blotting Sheets. Just take one of the sheets and blot on your forehead, down your nose, and along you cheeks to collect all the oil on your face!

Floral Rompers: My Summer Obsession!

Written by Nicole Garrity on . Posted in Fashion, How To, Life, Shopping in Buffalo, Uncategorized

One of my favorite obsessions for summer is floral rompers! I can easily wear one to a backyard barbecue, a formal dinner, or a night out on the town with my girls! They are versatile enough for me to wear them during the day or at night. I own a couple different styles but I really like the halter neckline ones, they are so comfortable! You can pair them with a pair of sandals, wedges or even booties depending on your own personal style. I highly recommend purchasing a couple to spice up your summer wardrobe!

 

Tips to Help You Say “YES” to Your Prom Dress!

Written by Nicole Garrity on . Posted in Fashion, How To, Life, Prom, Shopping in Buffalo, Uncategorized

Prom is only a few weeks away and now you are down to crunch time on finding your perfect dress! Dress shopping shouldn’t be stressful and you can make the experience more enjoyable with these helpful tips I’ve come up with! Remember that there is the perfect dress out there for everyone, so don’t feel like you have to settle! Don’t lose hope or get stressed out, stay determined and you will find your dream dress! Happy prom shopping fashionistas, xoxo.

First, have a game plan! Map out the shops you plan on visiting that day, don’t just wing it. You might get lucky and find your dream dress at the first stop, but if not, have a backup plan.

Second, bring someone you trust! I cannot go shopping without my best friend because I know she will always be honest. It doesn’t matter who your shopping buddy is, it is always just nice to have someone with you. So grab your best friend, mother, grandparent, or sibling and have a fun day of shopping!

Third, don’t make it complicated! If something isn’t fitting properly then maybe it isn’t meant to be. If your prom is quickly approaching and don’t have time to get alterations done you’ll have to look for a dress that fits your body well. Make sure you can eat, dance and enjoy your prom night without having to worry about your dress malfunctioning!

Attention All Prom Shoppers! MUST READ!!!

Written by Nicole Garrity on . Posted in Fashion, How To, Prom, Shopping in Buffalo, Uncategorized

Attention all prom shoppers! If you plan on purchasing a prom dress online than please be extremely cautious! Though I cannot stop you from ordering online, I do advise you to do research on the website you plan to order from before purchasing! The last thing you want is to be out your money and be left without a dress! It is always better to #shoplocal at dress boutiques in Buffalo so you guarantee that you’ll get your dress! Below I have listed a bunch of fake dress websites to avoid! Please do not shop on these sites as you will most likely lose out on both the dress and the money! If the price is too good to be true, then it most likely is! Shop safe this prom season and just #shoplocal!

Score Designer Prom Dress Look A-likes for Less!!

Written by Nicole Garrity on . Posted in Fashion, How To, Life, Prom, Shopping in Buffalo, Uncategorized

One of the things I love about working in fashion is seeing all the gorgeous designs and styles each prom season. This year has been one of my favorites so far because the designers focused on both simple and extravagant styles. Two of the designers that I am obsessing over this year is Sherri Hill and Jovani but they do cost a pretty penny! TT New York carries a line called Clarisse that sells styles similar to Sherri Hill and Jovani at a much more affordable price! (Not to mention Clarisse is sold exclusively at TT New York so you can’t find then anywhere else in WNY!) Through all of my research I have come across a few styles that are almost duplicate to what we carry in stock! I listed a few of them below as just an example to show you the similarities!

The Perfect Year-Round Nail Polish Color

Written by Nicole Garrity on . Posted in Fashion, Life, Uncategorized

Recently I had a very difficult time finding a nail polish color that I could wear no matter the time of year. While switching up colors is fun, I enjoy having my nail match any outfit. (If my nails are bright red I am going to try to keep my outfits coordinated with red. I just can’t wear a royal blue shirt with red nails!) So I decided to try and find a color that will match everything! After hunting for quite some time, I finally found what I’ve been looking for from the Sally Hansen collection. Sally Hansen has a huge selection of nude and neutral tone polishes that are the perfect fit for any season! I have been wearing the “Truffle Shuffle 150” color for the past few weeks and I have to say, I am obsessed. I didn’t want a color too close to my flesh tone, so the Truffle Shuffle is slightly darker but still simple. I got the gel and also a bottle of Sally Hansen gel top coat and the polish lasts for weeks! You can find these colors and more at any local drug store or beauty shop. Buy yourself a bottle and I swear you will become just as obsessed as I am!

Black Prom Dresses That Will Make You Stand Out

Written by Nicole Garrity on . Posted in Fashion, How To, Life, Prom, Shopping in Buffalo, Uncategorized

Black will always be one of our best-selling colors for prom and TT New York has a bunch in stock! Below I listed the ones that I am obsessed with and also some of our best sellers! I am personally in love with all of the simple and elegant ones, but they are all so beautiful no matter what style you’re looking for. If you really wanted to make the dresses pop, then I recommend accessorizing with a red lipstick and some red heels!

My Favorite Matte Lipsticks!

Written by Nicole Garrity on . Posted in DIY, Fashion, How To, Life, Uncategorized

I have recently started to experiment with makeup and I have become obsessed with wearing lipstick lately. I am not big into doing a full face of makeup but I find that putting on lipstick just adds an extra little pop. I prefer the liquid mattes over the glossy lipstick and have come across some amazing brands that I want to share with you! I am going to share with you a few of my favorites and also ones that are on my list to try out next! (Click on the pictures above the descriptions to check out their websites!)

 

 

Colourpop is an inexpensive line with amazing products! My first liquid mattes were from Colourpop and I wear them almost daily. My two favorites are TRAP and MIDI (which are pictured above!), they are my go-to picks! TRAP is nude with more of a purple undertone while MIDI is nude with a pink undertone. While you may have to reapply throughout the day, for less than $10 each I don’t mind taking a few extra trips to the bathroom to touch up my lips! (Available only through Colourpop’s website)

Kylie Cosmetics is another great brand for liquid mattes. Kylie’s lip kits come with both the matte lipstick and lip liner but they are about $26 for the pair. Her formula is long lasting and doesn’t dry out but can be a pain to take off at night! (But you also don’t need to reapply throughout the day/night so I can live with having to scrub it off!) The one I am obsessed with is LOVE BITE, which is an dark purple shade. It is a amazing winter color! I have a few more shades of Kylie’s but I still go with my Colourpop’s for everyday wear! (Available only through Kylie Cosmetic’s website)

 

Anastasia Beverly Hills is a brand that I have been dying to try! I hear amazing things about their liquid mattes but I find their color variety to be more unique and hard to wear daily. They are around $20 each and I don’t have the heart to buy one online without seeing the color in person. I have asked people’s opinion on ABH and a lot of people swear by the formula! I have been told that the price is worth it! (In store at Sephora and Ulta or online at ABH’s website) 

 

Milani is a brand that I was told to try because you can buy them at any drugstore and they are only about $9! I heard that the quality is amazing for a drugstore matte and they have more of those everyday colors. I have my eye on either ADORABLE or PRECIOUS which are both soft pinky nude tones. After reading all of the amazing reviews I will probably make Milani my next new purchase! (Available at Walmart and Target or online at Milani’s website)

 

Here are a few other brands to try out! I do not personally own any of these but hear amazing things about them!

  • DOSE of colors
  • NYX Lingerie (cheap brand, not the best quality but a good starter brand!)
  • Morphe (cheap brand, another not great quality)
  • Too Faced Melted Matte Lipsticks
  • HUDA Beauty
  • Smashbox
  • Jeffree Star (very vibrant and unique colors!)
  • Maybelline Vivid Matte
  • MAC
  • Kat Von D
  • Louboutin (for $90 a lipstick, owning one is my ultimate goal)
