Cinderella prom dresses are not just dresses made up from layer and layer of fabric and netting. They can also be bustled and have pick up skirts. These Victorian style Cinderella prom dresses are becoming more and more trendier every day with a lot of young girls choosing these over the fairytale fluffy Cinderella style prom dresses.
The new trend for this style Cinderella prom dresses has opened up a whole new range of simply stylish gowns. The styles to look out for this season are including the return of the polka dot, wide sashes in clashing colours and balloon style hemlines. Compared to last year's collection this year's designs have really taken on a whole new life.
Metallic's are still very popular as well and the design company Alyce Designs have really carried the look to new heights with a range of Cinderella prom dresses cut from the high gloss finish lame. These Cinderella prom dresses have been sort after by the fashion savvy and are continuing to be the number one trend.
As mentioned before polka dot has made a revival and one design company has really used this pattern to their advantage. Xcite has produced two beautiful Cinderella prom dresses this season that stick to the polka dot theme perfectly. The first is a black and white net Cinderella prom dress with 8 inch plus, diameter circles stitched in random positions on the bodice and skirt and reminds me of a Miney Mouse dress. This dress is perfect for the girl who wants to look cute and Disney on prom night. Secondly our all time favourite must be the blue and black polka dot pick up skirt. As far as Cinderella prom dresses go this is got to be the best design to come out of the 2009 collections.
Balloon hems have also seen centre stage this year and Xcite have done it again with the Balloon hem hi low. This stunning design really cannot be described it is truly a Cinderella prom dress that needs to be seen. Imagine Cinderella prom dresses that show your legs off at the front and end in a train at the back. Cool and stylish trends like these are moulding the UK prom scene into a fashion catwalk.
Proms have been held in the UK for the past five years and their popularity is spreading all over the country with every school under the pressure to hold the event for their school leavers. So get ahead of the prom fashion and be the Belle of the ball for 2009.

Online shopping has brought great opportunities to us to be able to buy the items we want and need at a great prices. It is too bad that with all good things people find a way to take advantage of others.
Selling Coach products online is a huge business. If you are looking to purchase a Coach product online, you need to do your homework before making your purchase. You need to be sure the money you are paying is for an authentic Coach purse not a fake coach purse.
Here are some tips to help you buy the real deal.
Tip #1: C Pattern Design
If your purse is the 'c' or 'cc' style stitching you will be able to use this pattern to inspect for authenticity. Look at the purse to check for the following.
a. The c pattern should go straight up and down.
b. The pattern will be centered on the front and back panel of the purse.
c. The seam will go straight through 'c' or 'cc' pattern not cutting off letters.
d. Look at a few photos online of the c pattern on the style of purse you are looking to purchase.
There should be a consistency with the pattern.
Tip #2: Leather Label with Serial Number
There is a serial number that exists in the majority of the real Coach purses that begins with 'No' that is located on the inside sewn in leather label. On some of the smaller authentic purse sizes there is not a leather tag. These styles would include the clutch, swingback, and the mini. I have also seen fakes that have the sewn in label starting with a No followed by a serial number. However, when you compare the fake label to the real one the quality of leather and imprinting is obvious which is real. The words on the label should also be in all-caps.
Tip #3: Know the Real Deal
I would suggest you visit retailers of real Coach stores to begin to teach yourself what an authentic Coach purse looks and feels like. Pay attention to the look and feel of the leather, lining, zipper, stitching and leather tag. As you become more familiar with the real Coach handbags, you will recognize a fake easier.
Tip #4: Poor Craftsmanship - Leather is Pieced Together
View the stitching on the purse. Stitches that are different in width or have threads coming out of the seam are a great way to spot a knockoff. In a real Coach handbag the stitching is impeccable.
Tip #5: Coach Style
In order to be an authentic Coach handbag it must be a Coach style. This one can be a bit tricky since Coach releases new styles throughout the year. I see the Internet as a great way to help you determine if the style you are looking at is a real style. Ask your question in a forum or blog and learn from others.
Tip #6: Zipper
Inspect the zipper of the purse. On a poor Coach knockoff, you can simply tell the difference by a looking at the zipper. A Coach purse will use a zipper with the engraving 'YKK.' Look for the engraving. If you are still not sure, zip the purse a few times to see how smoothly the purse zips.
Tip #7: C not G
I think this one should go without saying but it bears to mention since it must be working on some people. The Coach brand starts with a 'c' not a 'g.' It is unbelievably silly to me but some Coach knockoffs have the stitching of a 'g' or 'gg' not a 'c' or 'cc.'
Tip #8: Packaging
I have seen some auctions with pictures of purses with plastic wrapped handles. To my knowledge this would also be a sign of a fake Coach purse.
Tip #9: Read the About Us Section or Seller Info
Retail websites that just do not say which they are selling are normally selling fakes. Read about the retailer. Do a Google search on the retailer to see if people are happy with the service.
If you are looking to buy on ebay, purchase from someone who has a great track record for selling Coach purses. Ebay does not permit sellers to sell fakes and monitors this problem, but sellers can still slip through the cracks.
Do your homework so you can enjoy an authentic Coach purse at a great price. Happy shopping!

Election Day is finally here!
Make sure that you dress comfortably for your local weather conditions. That means sweaters, jackets, coats, sneakers, boots, rain boots if necessary. The early mornings may be cool and heat up later on in some localities. Leave out food and water for your pets - as you may be out awhile.
Bring your medications along if you have to take them at a certain time of the day, along with food and water. Make sure that you try to go to the bathroom before you leave the house - even if you think that you don't...okay?
Have a Nice Election Day!
