Impression bridal took the formal wear market by storm when they introduced a hot, sexy new prom line…Xcite nearly seven years ago. The company has made waves each season since and has quickly become one the industry’s top prom designers.

This past weekend I had the pleasure of previewing the 2012 line in Cancun, Mexico! Xcite held it’s annual fashion show prom preview in sunny Cancun and invited retailers from all over the continent! Guests enjoyed the weekend at the all-inclusive Cancun Palace resort and sat in on the prom preview fashion show. The new line showcased brand new silhouettes and exquisite bead work, as well as a few old favorites!

If Xcite’s line is any indication of the coming prom season, watch out! This one’s gonna be hot!

This season’s hottest trend is a new take on the one-shoulder dress that has been so popular in seasons past. This Fall, instead of one shoulder strap, it’s one sleeve! That’s right, an entire sleeve on one side, and a bare shoulder/arm on the other!

Hot designers like Jovani, Sherri Hill and Tony Bowls are leading the way this Fall with gorgeous one-sleeve gowns, like the one shown above. Stay connected to cbslimited.com for all the new styles, coming soon!

Happy Birthday America! Tomorrow we celebrate the 234th birthday of our nation. Our forefathers signed the Declaration of Independence over two centuries ago, declaring freedom from Great Britain, on a day that is still the most celebrated Summer holiday in the U.S.

We’ve all seen trashy prom dresses, but an Iowa teen will actually wear trash as a prom dress. Elizabeth Rasmunson fashioned a prom gown out of Wrigley’s “5 Gum” bubble gum wrappers. She and her boyfriend Jordan Weaver began collecting the blue and white wrappers in August. The pair even had enough to make a matching vest for Jordan!

In a troubled economy, with a record-setting unemployment rate, a fancy prom gown may be the last thing on your list. Seventeen Magazine showcased some of the season’s hottest looks, with a reasonable price tag, on “LIVE! With Regis and Kelly” this morning.

Models wore the top five trends for Prom 2010, all retailing under $200! Ombre-shaded gowns, gold tones and romantic/Victorian styles lead the way. The addition of rosettes to bodices or hemlines, along with tiered ruffles capture the Victorian period in a simply romantic way!

Perhaps the biggest style trend to look for is the one-shoulder gown. On a long gown or short, sequined or simple, one shoulder elegance is irresistible.

When dreaming of your high school prom, did you have a Cinderella-esque vision? Maybe a stunning ball gown with glass slippers? An entire day spent at the hair salon getting those curls pulled up just right? An appointment with a makeup artist that would transform you into the belle of the ball?

Snap out of it! Today’s prom girl tends to be less concerned with frills and fluff. We have seen a definite trend toward simple styles. And with the re-emergence of the cocktail, more prom-goers are opting for a short dress. The overwhelming popularity of printed gowns also contributes to the less formal look of most prom styles for 2010.

As for the hair, most girls are doing it themselves! And are often just sprucing up their everyday ‘do with a rhinestone barrette or a flirty flower. Makeup is applied just  a little heavier, and done right at home. Maybe it’s the sinking economy, times are tougher for families and skipping the salon is one more way to cut prom costs.

So tell us what you think…was your prom more casual than you envisioned? Or are the formalities still in place?

This Sherri Hill gown is just one stunning example of how beautiful blush can be! A pale pink hue, blush has taken this year’s Spring fashions by storm! From the red carpet in Hollywood, to the streets of your hometown, blush-colored fabrics are so “in”.

The new pale pink trend is for teens on prom night and even daring brides on their wedding night! Blush-colored gowns are appropriate for most skin tones, including the fairest of the fair.

Stars that have graced the red carpet in blush include Katy Perry, Carrie Underwood and Cameron Diaz!
