Your prom dress looks like a mullet... No it isn't okay.

Spring is finally here and while there is much to be excited about, girls all over are preparing for one of the most memorable events in their high school careers; prom.

Everyone wants to think they picked the most original prom dress. And that they are going to possibly be in the running for "best dressed", but original does not always have to mean the most provocative or outrageous. There is a classy way to go about anything in life and prom dress shopping isn't an exception.

Let's get started...

What I like to call "The Mullet."

"Business in the front and a party in the back" except the only guest at your party will be you. 

Floral patterned prom dresses... Really?

This is not the time or place to be looking like your grandmother's Easter tablecloth. Try to go with something that isn't as bright and a more modern floral pattern. 

There is no pole dancing at prom...

Moving on to the provocative picks aka what I like to call trashy. Whenever you see the word "sexy" it pretty much should be like caution tape. Luckily at most schools they require a dress code and some need to be thankful for this. 

Little Bo Peep?? Is that you?

There are always the dresses with ruffles but there is a fine line between what is an acceptable level of ruffles and looking like you exploded in them. 

Stop stop its burning my eyes!!

We get the fact you want to be noticed, but I don't still want to see the patterns of your dress when I look away. 

And the winners of the most awful prom dress winner goes to... Oh wait.. There is a tie...

Sometimes you just have to keep it short and simple.

Here are some random fashion styles I adore, shoes I would dream of having, and photos that move me. :) Enjoy

Excuse me mam? There is a small bird nesting behind your ear.

As the saying has always gone... Everyone wants what they don't have. If your hair is curly you want it straight. If your hair is straight you want it curly. And if you have short hair you want long hair. Luckily there are several beauty treatments to solve everyone's desires. 

Hair extensions are pretty much old news in Hollywood and have been around for years. But now they have stepped it up a notch and flown away with it. Literally.  Now what fashionistas are referring to as the "New Fashion Hair Trend for Spring" is hair feather extensions. Yes, actual feathers weaved in your hair to be kept in for weeks at a time. No they do not really help you fly. 

The key to hair extensions is making them look natural like you had some magical miracle growth sprinkled on your locks overnight and it grew with perfection. But with hair feather extensions there is nothing natural about it. I can't decide if wanting to resemble Big Bird is a fashion trend I want to see continued or not? Oh wait no, I'll pass. What about you?

Jennifer Love Hewitt's bird feather extensions

Hewitt's extensions are made from real bird feathers by Fine Featherheads to give her more of a bohemian look. While Hewitt's extensions are slightly more permanent having been sewed in there is an alternative to feather hair extensions. Clip-in ones from www.hottopic.com. But I can't decide which is worse. Take a look.

Is that a flamingo in your hair? Oh wait... you wanted it to look like a flamingo is nesting behind your ear! Weird.

I get the whole Black Swan thing and while it was an award winning film and amazing at that (Go Natalie you are my fav!) don't you think we are taking it a little too far? The main problem I have about this new trend is where are they getting all the feathers for these extensions? Because most advertise that they are not synthetic feathers. I don't mean to get all PETA on you or anything either. But are the feathers plucked from dead birds or are they being killed to add a bohemian, hippie look to  everyone's locks? I personally don't have any desire to have real bird feathers weaved in.  

Keep it classy,
