If you love dresses as much as we do at Rissy Roo's, you know that the more dresses you have, the better. Dresses are certainly the best way to look put-together from head to toe any day of the week, whether just out doing some weekend shopping, dressed to impress at work, attending a summer party, going to homecoming or prom, or having a night out with the girls.

So, we have some amazing ways for you to stock up on dresses this week! Of course, you can shop our Website Specials Sale, which is going on through Tuesday, August 4th, but that's not all.

The warm weather is here in full force, and that means it's not only Dress Season, but Wedding Season as well (it's all about dresses at weddings, after all!). So, to help our Roo Girls be ready to attend any weddings you're invited to this summer, we've put together some of our favorite dresses that you can wear to a variety of different types of weddings: Black Tie, Formal, Semi Formal, and Beach wedding. Check out our top picks by event type for dresses for guests at weddings below, and shop more looks at RissyRoos.com.

For a black tie wedding, we're all about one of our brand new Sherri Hill looks, Sherri Hill style 32292. This gatsby inspired fitted jersey evening gown features a stunning beaded neckline and a draped beaded back. This gown is a new addition to the Sherri Hill collection for Fall 2015, but it's a perfect choice for any formal event!

Shail K. style 3667 is a fierce mini dress that's all about elegance. Shail K.'s signature, stylish beaded pattern adorns the lovely cocktail dress from high choker neckline to hem. Plus, gracefully bare shoulders finish off the divine look of this dress.

Sherri Hill style 1978 is all about the classic Sherri Hill silhouette, which makes it perfect to bring a little fun to a semi-formal event, while still looking super elegant. The strapless short dress features a sweetheart neckline and a shimmering crystal beaded bodice with a flowy short chiffon skirt. Like Style 32292, this dress is part of the new Sherri Hill Fall 2105 collection, but who wouldn't want to wear this dress immediately?! It can easily be worn in the summer months, making you totally ahead of the trend.

Summer is all about beach weddings! To get that beachy vibe, we love Bari Jay BC-1500. It's a strapless chiffon evening gown with a shirred bodice and a natural waistline, making this a dress that looks good on just about every figure. Maxi dresses like this one are so perfect for summer weddings for when the wind kicks up by the shore. But, if you prefer short, check out Bari Jay BC-1500-S to get this same style in a cocktail dress length. While this is a great dress to wear as a guest to a wedding, this look can also be used as bridesmaid dresses.

Remember on Monday how we posted about a chic black cat Halloween look, matching chick nail art, a little black dress, cat ears, cat eye makeup, and cat eye glasses all together? Well, we have more information to help you finish off that black cat look! Seventeen Magazine recently posted a step-by-step video on how to create that perfect black cat makeup look...from the classic cat eyes to a cute black nose and even whiskers! Check out the black cat makeup tutorial here:

Such a cute look! Lupe, known as naturallybellexo on YouTube (who works with Seventeen), decided to create her black cat look with a black romper, rather than a little black dress, like we mentioned earlier this week. Both styles work so well for a black cat look, and both are so easy to take from Halloween to any other night out or event you go to.

If you want to rock a romper like Lupe, we love Shail K style 3464. This hand beaded, sparkling one piece will make you look so sexy, and the silver accenting throughout the romper reminds us of stripes on a cat! We especially love the sparkles on this romper - they're a perfect way to stand out in the crowd on nights like Halloween, a Holiday party, or New Year's Eve. The romper also features a sweetheart neckline, defined waist, and unique open back design. If it's a cold night out (like Halloween or the Holidays usually are), don't be afraid to pair this look with black tights - rompers look great with tights and is perfectly on-trend.

A black cat is a classic (and SO Roo Girl!) choice for Halloween, so you definitely can't go wrong with this look. And, you can always find unique ways to add your own personal style to the look by adding jewelry.... and choosing between a romper vs. a LBD, of course! Are you planning on being a black cat? Do you have any tips, tricks, or ideas on how to finish off the look? Leave a comment below!

The 2014 Cannes Film Festival was a huge hit for new directors, producers, and FASHION! Many of the great celebs and fashionistas were there, some new and some returning, but the fashion radar was buzzing! We wanted to share with you a few of our favorite looks and some similar styles to suggest for you to get the red carpet look at home.

Before the late night shows and parties started, Kendall Jenner decided to walk along the beach and get some lunch, and she did so in such style! Early on day two of the festival, Ms. Jenner wore a Longchamp romper and Chanel "sneakers."

Steal Kendall's look with the awesome Shail K romper style 3467. This romper is perfect for any occasion, with a scoop neck and such functional pockets! Dress it up with high heels or down with sneakers like Kendall, the decision is up to you!

That same day, at the premiere of Mr. Turner, Blake Lively wore a feminine Chanel gown with a belted waist, v neck, and sequin embellishments giving it that "va-va-voom" that had everyone talking!

Want Blake's red carpet look for prom or your next special occasion? Jovani style 88155 is your answer! It's a sexy lace v neck gown has all the assets of hollywood glam and is definitely more budget friendly.

Cate Blanchett is a Cannes film festival staple and she is always on everyone's "best dressed" list, so it's no surprise that she's one of our 2014 Cannes Film Festival best dressed favorites. She outdid herself this year in a beautiful Valentino ensemble. The dramatic gown featured embellished leaf details and cap sleeves, while her Chopard Jewels finished the look!

Want Cate's stunning look? You can get it with Jovani style 90242 , which features a high neck of beaded leaf-like embellishments and cap sleeves, along with an empire waist of pure elegance and grace. This dress is totally red carpet worthy!

With Thanksgiving only a week away, we are in totally in Turkey mode, and we can't wait to dress up for the holiday! While Thanksgiving may not be a well known holiday for dressing to impress the way that New Year's Eve is, there's no reason that you can't put on a cute dress to celebrate.

It might not be a sexy little black dress kind of night, but there are definitely plenty of dresses that can be worn to a Thanksgiving party. Since it's technically still Fall, but getting colder and colder out by the day, we love the idea of picking a cocktail dress that shows off the colors of Fall (like tan, gold, brown, yellow, or orange), but also has long sleeves to keep you a little warmer as the cold sets in. That's why this week's Dress of the Week is Shail K. style KL3225 - we thought it made for a perfect Turkey Day dress with the nude and gold colorings and long sleeves!

Style KL3225 is a truly original Shail K. creation! This long sleeve, nude colored cocktail dress boasts a unique, hand-beaded exotic bead pattern with a beautifully accentuated waistline and hem. The high back and neck make this dress perfect for day or nighttime wear. It's definitely a dress that you can easily wear to a dinner, and then out with your friends to a party later that night. Tone the look down with black or nude heels for dinner, and spice it up with sparkly gold heels like in the picture above for a party.

This a dependable dress that you'll be able to get a lot of use out of, whether for Thanksgiving, another Holiday party, Homecoming, or any other formal event. Do you love it as much as we do? Leave a comment below and let us know!

Miss Latina Global 2013 was recently held in August, and it was a night to remember! There was so many gorgeous looks all throughout the pageant, that it had us getting so excited that Homecoming Season is finally here, and Prom is just around the corner. This pageant got us especially in the Homecoming and Prom mood, though, because two of our favorite dress designers were at the forefront of the pageant: Shail K. and Jovani!

All of the delegates wore Shail K. KL3224 as the opening dress to the pageant. It was the perfect dress for an opening number because everyone looked so sparkly and glamorous! 

Miss Latina Global 2013 Delegates wearing Shail K. KL3224

Shail K. style KL3224 is a unique combination of sweet, shiny, and sexy. This short cocktail dress seamlessly combines a beautifully hand beaded lusciousness with an off-shoulder neckline and a fun, flowing skirt, giving this party dress a timeless look. If you don't have a pageant to wear it to like the Miss Latina Global delegates, get it for Homecoming, and wear it again for a Holiday Party!

Newly crowned Miss Latina Global, Grecia Garcia, & Miss Teen Latina Global, Karla Mercado (wearing Jovani 1531), along side runner up, Lexi Lopez (wearing Shail K. KK3133L).

That's not the only time you see Shail K. at the pageant, though! Lexi Lopez wore Shail K. KK3133L as she was crowned Miss Latina Global 2013 Runner Up. This hand beaded gown fits like a glove and accentuate your curves perfectly. It's a great gown not only for a pageant, but for Prom, too!

Miss Teen Latina Global 2013, Karla Mercado, looked so elegant being crowned in Jovani 1531. It's a lace floor length mermaid gown that features piping and sheer panels at the top bodice and a tiered tulle skirt. Karla showed so well that this dress is the perfect combination of elegance and sexiness!

Congrats to this year's winners! All of the girls who competed were so talented and beautiful - it definitely must have been difficult for the judges to pick the winners!

Rissy Roo’s Homecoming Dresses 2013- New Fall Collections by Top Formal Wear Designers Like Sherri Hill, Jovani, and Tony Bowls Added

With prom season ending and summer just beginning, Rissy Roo’s is now preparing for yet another busy homecoming season. The upcoming fall collections by top formal wear designers like Sherri Hill, Jovani, and Tony Bowls are the newest additions to their online store at https://rissyroos.com.

Rissy Roo’s, one of the leading online stores for women’s formal wear, offers gorgeous designer looks for all types of special occasions, including prom, homecoming, weddings, and more. When it comes to the latest trends, the store is continuously updated to not only suit every type of social occasion, but every kind of individual style, as well.

Homecoming season is just as big as prom season. With all of the new arrivals coming in, the new school year is definitely going to start off in style. Formal wear designers really stepped it up a notch with their new Fall 2013 styles and designs. One of the biggest trends coming back this fall is the one shoulder look. A stylish way that this trend is making an appearance in designers’ fall lines is as part of sequin dresses. Marissa Sharp, owner of Rissy Roo’s, explains, "Sequin dresses are timeless. You can never go wrong with a sparkly dress. Not just for homecoming but for any formal occasion." This timeless piece combined with the eye-catching one shoulder trend gives it a whole new, unique look. A great example of this trend that can be found at Rissy Roo’s is Shail K's stunning one sleeve cocktail dress style KK3157. This dress showcases an intricate beading design throughout the entire dress, with a chunky jewel detail at the wrist. It’s a perfect combination of the classic look with an edgy twist for a number of different formal events.

A look that will never go out of trend for homecoming or prom is the baby doll style dress. Browsing through the Rissy Roo’s website immediately allows one to see that this holds true, as it is one of the most popular looks in the new Fall 2013 lines of designers like Clarisse, Sherri Hill, and Mac Duggal. Baby doll style dresses are flattering on all body types, which is part of the reason the style has stayed so popular. A homecoming baby doll dress that’s bound to turn heads is Clarisse style 2016, which is available at Rissy Roo’s. This dress has a beautiful sweetheart neckline, a flirty tulle skirt, and delicate crystal and sequin detailing throughout. The sequins and crystals line the neckline and fall vertically down to the waistline, where the dress then flares out into a tulle skirt. It is the perfect dress to give girls the confidence to start the new school year off right.

Sheer is an up-and-coming trend that started to make an appearance this Prom 2013 season, and is sure to be one of the most popular styles for Homecoming 2013. Sharp explained, "It’s a classy way to show off some skin." The style was first made popular for Prom 2013 by Sherri Hill, and now designers like Jovani, Mac Duggal, and Mori Lee are making sheer big parts of their collections, as well. One dress at Rissy Roo’s that’s sure to be popular this coming Homecoming season is Sherri Hill Style 8525 cocktail dress. This fun and flirty cocktail dress has a beautiful sheer high neck top, sheer cut-out style back, and a bodice fully covered in sequins.

The Great Gatsby, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, Carey Mulligan, and Joel Edgerton, finally hit theatres, and it's gotten us obsessing over everything 1920s!

But, there's of course one thing that has us girls at Rissy Roo's stuck in Gatsby fever: the clothes!
