| Atlanta police help girls say yes to the perfect prom dress - WSB Atlanta Posted: 08 Apr 2019 05:03 PM PDT  ATLANTA - Prom season is upon us and for many teens across that metro, it's a mad rush to find that perfect outfit for prom night. For many though, that perfect dress will likely cost a lot of money they may not necessarily have to spend. The Atlanta Police Department has stepped in to help. The department's Police Athletic League sponsored a prom dress drive, asking officers and their public partner to donate new and gently worn prom dresses, so that deserving teens will get the chance to go to prom without the pressure of how to pay for it.

Kimberly Payne. "We reached out to our APD family, as well as the community." The drive collected more than 100 dresses, shoes and accessories from officers and city of Atlanta employees. "We're hoping that the young ladies can find a complete ensemble or at least one item to help them with going to the prom," Payne said.

One of the lucky recipients was Takaya Brantley, 17. This year will be her first prom. She picked out a red dress along with silver shoes and a match clutch purse. She said she was so grateful for the program. [READ: Horses help Atlanta police and teens bond] "It made me feel good knowing that someone is giving back to the community," Takaya said. Her mother, Tarnesha Taliaferro, said she searched online for dresses for her daughter and said the cheapest dress she could find was at least $200. Add that with accessories, make up and everything else that goes along with going to prom, she said this program as a real blessing for her and her daughter. "I felt blessed that we were chosen to come and participate in something like this. This is a true blessing," Taliaferro said. "I was like, 'Lord, I'm going to trust in you to fix it,' and he fixed it." The Police Athletic League's ongoing efforts are a way for the department to connect with the city's youth in a positive manner, serving as leaders and mentors through recreational activities.

But not that many activities where we can actually bridge a gap with young ladies. So, this is one way to open that door, to get them in, so that we can kind of connect and build a rapport with our teens and maybe start an opportunity to mentor with them," Payne said. Atlanta police said with the success they had with the drive, they were going to open the program to all high school girls that go to any Atlanta Public School. They said the girls can stop by from 4 p.m. – 6 p.m. Tuesday through Friday this week at the Police Athletic League's location at 120 Anderson Avenue NW. They will also accept any donations of clean prom dresses and accessories during that time for anyone who would like to donate. © 2019 Cox Media Group.  |
| Posted: 05 Apr 2019 08:21 AM PDT From extravagant fascinators to outlandish dresses, Ladies Day is an opportunity to stand out from the crowd in something a little different. However, this year's event at Aintree has seen more than five attendees parading through the Merseyside course in the same PrettyLittleThing dress - styled almost identically. The e-tailer's popular deep v-neck dress with white peplum and frill detail was a clear winner at the Grand National Festival, where racegoers predominantly paired it with white or nude accessories.  More than five women have worn the same frilly dress from PrettyLittleThing to this year's Grand National races, including this woman who paired the look with grey court heels  Another woman (pictured second from right) wore the peplum detail dress with a cream mesh fascinator, nude heels and a matching nude cross-body bag  The plunging midi dress is advertised on PrettyLittleThing.com as a 'sophisticated' outfit for winning best dressed The plunging ruffle dress which is available in UK sizes 4-16, costs £70. In keeping with race day tradition, one woman paired the dress with a statement cream hat, which matched the ruffles on the dress, and grey platform court heels. Another, teamed the item with a white clutch bag and matching stilettos. PrettyLittleThing, which has gained a reputation for taking inspiration from luxury designers for budget styles, describes the dress as 'totally sophisticated' online.  Stepping out in stilettos, a racegoer beamed as she modeled the dress with white cross over stilettos, faux fur wrap and a white clutch bag  Another fan of the e-tailer styled the popular dress with an oversize zig-zag print clutch bag and nude barely-there heels  One trend follower (pictured right) wore the frilly frock with a peach fascinator, nude heels and a chain clutch bag, meanwhile her friends matched in red  Opting for simple sophistication, another racegoer paired the plunging dress with a silver necklace and headband The brand's model is pictured wearing the dress with beige barely-there stilettos for a simple, elegant look. More than 150,000 people are expected to attend this year's Grand National races which takes place over three days in Liverpool. Ladies Day is naturally the most stylish outing of the three-day festival with glamorous female attendees pulling out all the stops for the big day. However, those who were hoping that a unique look would win them the best-dressed accolade may have missed out by accidentally coordinating their showstopping look.

| The best women's dress shoes of 2019 - Business Insider Posted: 07 Apr 2019 12:00 PM PDT  Why you'll love it: Everlane's classic collection of shoes are ethically sourced, responsibly made, and will keep you moving throughout the day. When it comes to the professional woman's wardrobe, few brands are better represented than Everlane. It's hard to believe that it's been less than a decade since the company was founded, but in its nine years of existence, Everlane has proven that cutting out the middleman and employing responsible sourcing and manufacturing practices are both great for business, and better still for fashion. And that's certainly no exception when it comes to the brand's beautiful collection of shoes. What I love best about Everlane's collection is its rather manageable size. Sure, there are still more than enough options from which to choose, but you won't spend hours upon hours scrolling through seemingly endless variations of what ultimately looks like the exact same shoe. Rather, in keeping with the brand's broader ethos, the shoe collection is straightforward and elegant, offering elevated basics at reasonable prices. If you're looking for a simple yet chic flat, look no further than the Day Glove, one of Everlane's perennial best sellers. Available in a wide range of colors, this ballet flat is incredibly comfortable and looks fantastic paired with a pair of slacks or just about anything else. As it turns out, wearing a heel is not a prerequisite for looking put together, and the Day Glove proves just that. Taking the Day Glove up a notch is the Day Heel, which incorporates a two-inch block heel with the same beautiful design and fit as its flat sibling. I love its back pull tab, side vents, and cushioned insole, all of which make this heel easy to put on and easy to keep on. Plus, this shoe comes in a wide range of colors that span the classic suspects like black, rose, and bone as well as the bolder options like bright red, bronze, and other metallic offerings. I'm also in love with the Editor Heel, a sleek kitten heel that looks effortlessly sharp with its miniature stiletto. While it runs a bit big, the soft, Italian leather material may just convince you that this is the last pair of heels you'll ever need. None of Everlane's heels go above two inches, which makes them extremely comfortable and wearable all the livelong day, and most styles come in both leather and suede versions to fit your personal aesthetic. Pros: Incredibly comfortable, ethically made, manageable selection of styles Cons: If you're looking for a higher heel, Everlane may not deliver Shop Everlane's shoe collection hereRead our full reviews of the Day Glove and Day Loafer |
