Only a couple more days until the expo is finally here! Are you excited or what? We are!

 Introducing Marissa AKA RISSROSE2 on YouTube.com

Marissa is my new favorite Youtuber! Her make up looks are awesome and easy to accomplish. She admits she doesn’t have a big ole’ stash of make up so you know you don’t need tons of stuff to recreate her looks. She’s very down to earth, friendly, approachable (if you have Qs), and HILARIOUSLY funny! Just watch and see.

Is most of your Quince budget dedicated to the reception or tied up with other more “necessary” expenses? Money ran out before you found the perfect dress? Can’t afford a custom made gown? If one or all of the above situations describe you, you must visit GoJane.com! This site is where you can find the cutest designer inspired dresses or gorgeous formal gowns plus heels with high drama for a fraction of the cost. Here are just a few frocks that caught my eye…

24K Bling

A simple, shorter dress gives you the opportunity to play up the accessories or heels. What better way to do it than with animal print and bling? 

Red Carpet Glamour

Perfect for an Old Hollywood themed event. This gown screams screen siren! I see finger waved hair, thick black eyeliner, and bright red lipstick! Vavoom!

Sweet in Lavender

This shade of purple is sure to be complementary to any skin tone. The dress is simple yet has a beautiful ruffling detail.

Pretty in Pink

Think Carrie Bradshaw in Sex and the City! Look at those heels! Such drama!

Vintage Floral

This dress pattern is just gorgeous.  Perfect for that spring time Quince. The vibrant green heels give it that extra punch of color for those wanting to make a bold statement.

If none of those dresses are your style, they have tons more to choose from traditional to more contemporary of every color of the rainbow! Also, GoJane.com doesn’t just offer designer inspired dresses and shoes at great prices, they also have accessories and cosmetics at deep discounts. Check them out today!

Another favor craze popping up at Weddings, Birthday Parties, and other social events are Photobooths! What a fun way for your guests to customize their own keepsake! You can add your own touch by coming up with ways to personalize each guest’s photo like being in one of the photos, autographing them, or pre-making frames with your name and birthdate. The possibilities are endless! Let the creativity flow (or find a creative friend to help you!).
