This weekend we attended the Macy's Prom Fashion Show at the Westfarms Mall in Connecticut.
#MacysProm - #MacysProm13

| #MacysProm - #MacysProm13 |
As always, Macy's knocked it out of the park, or better yet, they ROCKED it out of the park, by featuring Mandi Line, hip stylist for ABC's Pretty Little Liars, AND we were treated to a quick set from the band Action Item.
We arrived early and were thrilled that Macy's had arranged for front row catwalk seats for our media coverage. Thank you Mary and Brent from Macy's Special Events! What a great job!
I absolutely loved the bright pink seats and the entire set up! Everyone shopping in Macy's was in awe and kept coming over to check out the event!

And it filled up fast!

Mandi Line opened the show recapping some of the Pretty Little Liar storylines - and welcoming everyone to Macy's in the Westfarms Mall in Connecticut.
Mandi is super-cool, ultra-chic, and was wearing a black and white striped, sleeveless, button down shirt, red satin skinny jeans, with black boots. Very West Coast Rocker Chic! She's absolutely gorgeous, and reminded me of a younger, EDGY, Sigourney Weaver.
Mandi broke the show down to four distinct prom fashion segments:
- Glamour
- Pretty Little Rocker
- Free Spirit
- After Party
Don't skimp on the accessories - that is what will make your dress or outfit unique and interesting to YOU!
Go ahead and pair a studded leather belt with a chiffon dress if that's your style!
Of course, each dress was styled impeccably and the young models were wonderful! As each dress went down the runway, Mandi would comment on what character in Pretty Little Liars would wear that dress, but I was thinking about the girls that I knew who were likely prepping for Prom 13, and what each one of them might wear!
Caitlin & Sam in CT, Shannon in LA, Kimmie & Melissa in Ho-Ho-Kus, Kelsey in Cheshire, Noelle, Corinne, & Jessica in Middletown, and Amber in East Hampton, you would ALL totally rock these dresses!
Glamour:
Molly started the show off right with this silver sleeveless T-back strap dress by City Studio.

WOW! What a great event! As usual, you provide great coverage, Bonnie!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Wendy! We had a great time and the show was amazing!
DeleteWhat excellent coverage of the Macy's event. I feel as if I were there! Loved all the dress shots.
ReplyDeleteThanks Shelley. The dresses were gorgeous! Macy's does a great job with these runway events.
DeleteAdorable. Macy's is my happy place, and if i had a daughter, I'd make sure it was also hers! I just did a bagful of shopping in the San Francisco Macy's, which is REALLY my happy place!
ReplyDeleteYes, it's my happy place too! Macy's always has just what I'm looking for!
DeleteSuch great colors and styles coming this spring! Thanks for the sneak peek!!
ReplyDeleteYes, the styles and colors were wonderful!
DeleteWow. Looks like fun. I loved as a teenager going to fashion shows at department store. Glad to see Macy's is doing this!
ReplyDeleteYes, they do such a great job with it and have something in every region.
DeleteLooks like so much fun. Having only sons, all I got to do was go to the tuxedo rental store.
ReplyDeleteOh, Jennifer, you just broke my heart! Hope you get together with your girlfriends for some great shopping sprees!
DeleteWhat a fun time, and I love your photos!! Times sure have changed since my proms in the early 90s - for the better! =D
ReplyDeleteMy prom dress was completely different too! Thank goodness fashion evolves!
DeleteTHis looks like a fun time! My daughter's only in 3rd grade (mercifully!) but it wont be long before I (as a Dad) have to worry about Prom!
ReplyDeleteSome of these looks might be worrisome! VERY short! I'm attributing it to the fact that these models were VERY tall!
DeleteThis looks like so much fun! I love all of the different styles of dresses. I wore a backless grecian dress to my prom (which seems like a million years ago) but I could definitely see back-then me wearing the free spirit dresses!
ReplyDeletexx Kait
Kait, I loved them too! I think I might have been in the free spirit choices too! Loved them all, though!
DeleteWow! How cool that you got to attend a fashion event! The pictures were awesome! Thanks for sharing!
