Chicago is a city throbbing with activity and growth and as Chicago rolls into prom season (as with all the other cities in the country), I remember planning proms during my years in Chicago. I always have the most amazingly fun time doing that! The highlight of my Chicago proms have always been stepping into a rented limousine looking, feeling and wanting to be like a Princess with a (not so handsome) partner for the prom. I don’t know if the feeling is exclusive to only proms in Chicago, I have this feeling that everything pulsates so much more in Chicago. The limousine we rented was amazingly clean….if it gets any cleaner, it must have just rolled out of the showroom! I love it…the feeling of arriving in the prom limo at the Chicago prom destination and stepping out with all those people watching! Doesn’t that simply make you want to just….do a royal wave?

Looking good for a prom is usually more than just a one-day effort. People spend years on a proper diet plan, a beauty regime in order to look like a Supermodel and that should be your plan too. Since prom season is rolling around, you should consider giving yourself a quick beauty treatment in your favorite beauty salons in Manhattan NY. After all, if you’re going all out for your Manhattan NY prom and renting a limousine for the prom just to feel and look like a super star, you should spend some time priming yourself up for the prom too.

A party within a party – that’s what riding around in an Escalade limousine is like! It’s been a long time since I last sat in an Escalade, mainly because a lot of people prefer to rent a classic Jaguar or a Rolls Royce. It’s strange that a lot of people don’t realize how amazingly beautiful an Escalade limousine can be! The one that I took was fit for 20 people and it was like a party within a party! The interior was beautiful, leather and immaculately clean. The fiber optic lights certainly gave us the feeling of being chartered around like a celebrity. And there were the neon lights! It was an amazingly refreshing feeling….

If you explore the world of tuxedos, be it for the prom or a wedding, you’ll see that men are equally spoilt for choice these days with the wide ranging designs in tuxedos. The deal here is not in the design or the intricate prints on a tux. The difference between one tux and another lies in the small details and they’re less apparent than women’s clothing. While color and design is what makes or break a dress, prom dress, or wedding dress, with a tux, it’s in the cutting, the materials, the shade of color and the finer details. Therefore, this makes choosing the right tuxedo for an event THAT MUCH MORE difficult.

Saying ‘thank you’ doesn’t have to be expensive. All you need is a little bit of creativity and maybe a little effort in trying to find the right groomsmen gifts to give to your friends to show them how much you appreciate their effort in being a part of your wedding. It’s not easy committing so much time to your wedding, your bachelor party and everything else in between. I mean, a wedding could be a new start for you but for the people like your best-friend or others who are part of your groomsmen team, it’s more than just a limousine ride. Therefore, I personally recommend that you set aside a little bit of the budget to rewards your groomsmen…..apart from the drinks. One can only drink so much!

Pay special attention to your hair if you have something special coming up and I am saying this because your hair is one of the most prominent parts of your body….except for the face, the first few things people notice about you is your hairstyle. Therefore, if you’re trying to put on the glamour puss look or the ultra chic modern look, get some ideas from celebrities with hot hairstyles.

Let’s start off with the renowned hair-chameleon, Jennifer Aniston. Ever since she popped into the entertainment with via Friends the longest-running popular TV series, Aniston had people follow her hairstyle. Regardless of where their location is, hairstylists got special requests from their customers…. “I want the Rachel hairstyle”. Yes, her hairstyle became so popular that they even had a term for the hair now….the Rachel. This hairstyle is perfect for those with longest face and very little hair. It sort of blows your top up to maximum capacity and then layers it off till the tip of the hair making it look long and like you have a lot of hair.

Many people attest to the fact that there is such a thing as wedding woes. Every single day is a countdown as we inch closer to the date of the wedding, people start getting anxious. It more than just the fact that we’re really settling down with one life partner for the rest of our lives that is more than a little unsettling. What about the bills, the planning, the minor glitches here and there, the argument you had about the shoes, the misunderstanding you had with your hairdresser….everything! Couples can tell you horrific stories of things that could have gone wrong and did before their weddings and they’re all very real. That’s why people suffer from anxiety and sometimes even depression months before their wedding.

But there are things you can do about it.

Prom is a big thing and that is why, I think, we should never scrounge on the glamour element! It happens once in your lifetime….I mean, think about it….you’re not going to get another chance to go to the prom at the age of thirty-five! And the great thing about modern prom nights is that you don’t need to actually have a date to have fun at the prom. All it takes is a little bit of planning. My guess and experience tells me that you should start planning for the prom night three months or so ahead of time. The committee members are not the only people who have a lot on their hands, you know… (Found the dress on the left here)

Having the right ride for your wedding is important – we can’t emphasize enough on that one! This is a once-in-your-lifetime (hopefully) thing therefore, you should never scrounge on the wedding limousine ride. But here comes the problem. There are so many different types of wedding limousines out there for you to choose from in the market, which ride is the right one? Lady Limelight thinks that when it comes down to choosing the right limo for a wedding, they can all be divided into three different types of limos and here they are!

The hair must go with the shoes, the shoes must go with the dress, the dress must go with the clips, the clips must go with the flowers, the flowers must go with the color of your hair……the list can go on and on and on. This is the kind of headache that we get whenever it’s prom time! It’s everything about color, fashion trend when we talk about prom night, isn’t it? Furthermore, we have to strike a balance between looking casual, not overdone like a Christmas turkey yet not look ‘yesterday’. I find it particularly difficult to deal with handbags, don’t ask me why. There are too many options out there in the market, I guess. But I’ve scoured the web for a lot of handbags and I wanted to see what people were up to these days, you see. And I am happy to say that I found a couple of noteworthy handbags that you might want to consider ‘grabbing’ off the Internet for your prom.
