This dress is effortlessly pretty. It is so popular right now so it should be easy to find it in many different prints and colors. Throw on a statement necklace and some wedges and you are good to go!

2. Midi Dress

This is right in between long and short this dress exudes simple elegance. If you are shorter I would recommend wearing a heel that is strappy so your legs appear longer.

3. Two Piece Dress

This is a very trendy look that will without a doubt be amazing!You can find a two piece in both long and short lengths.

4. Skater Dress

This style is one that everyone can rock! With a fitted top and flared skirt it is the perfect fit. Just like the shift dress this one is pretty popular so there are plenty of colors and patterns.

5. Long Dress

Get ready to stand out! A long dress is perfect for formal! Whether it be your previous prom dress or a new one you can’t wait to show off; you will for sure be a show stopper in a long dress.


Overall you just have to find a dress that is equally cute and comfortable. It is all about feeling confident in whatever you wear. Happy shopping!

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
