Macy's Prom Fashion Show - Mandi Line & Action Item #MacysProm13

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

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!

Everyone is tweeting #MacysProm!

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  

Mandi's fashion advice?  MORE IS MORE!

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!
