Also known as the event that every high school girl should attend; after all, it is an American tradition. I must admit that I am rather excited… A night filled with getting ready and dressing up, pre-prom spent with the best, and a night filled with dancing followed by an after party is quite the life. Mmmm oui. J u n i o r p r o m , 4.24.09.
And it is no surprise that I have opted for classic simplicity; it is more me than the usual selections other girls opt for. I do love minimality. Mon ensemble? A strapless little red dress (fitted, of course), black heels, a silver cocktail ring, and a gorgeous statement necklace. Le maquillage? Dark, smokey eyes (my absolute favorite and signature when I do actually wear make-up), bronzed skin, and nude lips. Barcelona Red nail lacquer by Chanel on my toes and fingers. And les cheveux. Curled at the ends for a polished look. I like things un-fussy. C’est fin; gen, non?
I should love to d a n c e through l i f e (a Wicked reference).
Bisous,
La C.
Great decision going for sinple. Too often you either get people that are to pouffy or look skanky.
Sounds fierce!
Sounds absolutely gorgeous! Sure hope we get to sneak a peek at a pic of you in all your finery? 🙂
Have a ball! Or rather, a prom!

That a girl! Going bombshell is always the best choice. I’m sure you’ll have a wonderful time.
I love proms! I, too, go by simplicity. I can picture you and your red dress – classy!
Your outfit sounds like it’s going to be amazing! You should post a picture of yourself! And I’m a junior, as well…but I don’t think I’m going to prom this year, haha.
Hello La C. I think your outfit sounds amazing. I hope you have a great time. Cheers!
Your Tributes+your impeccable sense of style+your sexy, dancer self = I wish I could go to prom as your date. 😀
With my short hair, I think I could pull off the look of a simple tux, no? Haha. 🙂
Blogtwin love!
SEAH!ui
You’re going to be very pretty dressed up like you just described, have a great time (why wouldn’t you like this, anyway? 🙂 ) !
Oh, prom sounds like a lot of fun! We don’t have them here in Norway, not the traditional one at the end of high school, at least. Do enjoy yourself, darling – I’m sure you’ll be the belle of the ball in that outfit!
Sounds amazing! YAY!
XoXo
I love the sound of your outfit…have a wonderful time!
your outfit & look sounds amazing!! make sure you post photos!! just the outfit would be great, although a whole photo would be a bonus!! 😉
xx
You will be stunning !
It was so funny in U.S.A because at my hotel there was a prom and it was really… curious !
Have fun dear !
I would love to dance through life too, although I can’t dance at all;) Swirl through life I guess<3
Prom<3 I love prom, or ball as we call it xD I’m so happy there is no stress about needing to bring a date here in Norway or else I would be doomed xD I just love to dance with my friends;)
You know what? I know I’m going to buy the Chanel Barcelona red now, although I really don’t have the money! But now I can’t resist! The color is just so lovely, and I love red nails… It’s all your fault!
Oooh love the sound of your outfit, hope you have an absolutely fabulous time!!!
I’m sure you’ll be the most chic prom princess out there! I remember once staying in a hotel that happened to be hosting a prom. All I saw was poofy dresses and big hair. Such a cliche. It was quite scary actually…
I hope that you have a lovely time!!
Love the way you write! With the French peppered all over!:D Would love to see a picture of you in your dress! And your hair sounds, amazing! I can never get my hair to curl properly!
You are going to look as utterly breathtaking as the girl in the picture you included here. Don’t forget to make an entrance that will make everyone stop and stare. Though the way you just describe your look dujour, I don’t think you’ll need much to do that. Your mere presence will make jaws drop.
Have the time of your life darling!
have fun at prom honey! your ensemble sounds amazing! pleaseee could we see a photo?! 🙂
xx
Sounds amazing! Have fun!
we didn’t do prom in the uk, sounds like so much fun – have a great time
Gosh I wish I had fashion when i got dressed for prom.
I wish we had prom in Sweden, it sounds like so much fun! I´m sure you will look great (it sure sounds like it!) and I wish you the best of evenings!
Gosh, looking back, my junior prom pics scare me re: my dress and hair. It’s funny how your sense of style evolves and what you thought looked amazing back then looks not so wonderful now. Your choice to go simple sounds like a standout winner. Can’t wait to see the pics. Hope you have an amazing time!

oh, i miss prom. i want to get dressed up and take lots of pictures and be all glam.
lets have a weekly date to do that when we’re both in the city?
can’t wait to see pictures xoxo
Hmm as they say sometimes less is more non? I was always so anxious when balls (proms?) came around, i’d feel so nervous and sheepish in the weeks leading up to them. Something I most definately am not missing these days lol.
Hope your wkend is lovely! 😀
i purchased my first little black dress for prom. i am for simplicity too!
Sounds very sexy! you should take a pic. of yourself and show us ;o)
Sounds fun! Pictures?=)
Have fun at prom sweetiee!! ;D
Do take a picture of your dress..even if you have to hide your identify from us still 🙁
<33 Linhh
We call them Formals in Australia! Hehe. Have fun at your Prom. I’m sure you’ll be the best dressed. Hope we can have a sneak peak of your outfit! xox
Hi there sweetie cakes!!! Sorry I missed a few of your posts, but I am glad you are taking the “high road” in your la prom wear– I think being minimal can make a subtle statement, and that my love is CLASS
Sounds so lovely and classic. Mine is coming up in June- I think I’ll be going for an equally simple look. do you mind me asking where you found your dress?
xx
Your prom outfit sounds AMAZING, ten billion times more sophisticated and well thought out than any of my high school prom outfits ever were!
That sounds very good indeed!
oh gosh, prom…it seems like at my school it’s the only word on everybody’s lips. It sounds like you will look simply divine, however! Red is the best color for making a statement.
For my own (5/20), I’m seriously considering a peach vintage dress with cream lace detailing and flowers in my hair…gotta mix it up amongst the sea of fake satin and hairspray haha.
Oh and you should post pictures!! I want to see this vision realized 🙂
Hi there-oh, have a wonderful time, you will certainly be one of the most stylish ones there!!
I didn’t go to the prom but I have a strapless little red dress & black heels now. I was a late bloomer; I bloomed in my 30s I think. I’m not terribly prom..ish now either, but a well tailored cocktail dress is a fine thing. ~Mary
Why don’t we have a thing as prom? They always sound like a sort of fairtytail.
Oh, and will you post a picture of your look later, the outfit you are going to wear sounds so gorgeous!
hello!
Thanks a lot for passing at my blog, I see a lot of blogs I love here in your list! this is amazing!!!
I love all your posts, we all love Carine!
kisses and hugs,
see you,
Kira
eventhough i haven’t seen you, but i know you looked gorgeous on your prom!! our school had prom too like two days ago, and i went to watch all the glamourous cars, and dresses.. it’s all about the entry over here!
You can’t go wrong with simple glamour. At least you’re less likely to look back in your yearbook’s prom section nearly 10 years later and regret what
you wore. Have fun~
i know this is a bit late but i hope you had fun!!
can we see pictures? pleaaase? =]
Sounds positively sensual! I love statement jewlry.

Sounds like fun, love the outfit!

my year ten formal (junior prom equivalent) was not exactly a highlight of high school but the getting ready and planning outfit part definately was!!
of course i wouldn’t expect an outfit anything less than perfect (as has been described) from you but i really do think we need photos to see 🙂
