Oscars

It means I cry over my inability to own the beautiful fashions. But don't take my word for it, see for yourself...

Ellie Kemper in Armani Prive. She looked amazing in the copper. It complimented her hair without looking matchy-matchy.

Bérénice Bejo in Elie Saab. There was just something off about this dress, it looked like she was slouching the whole time.

 Brad Pit and Angelina Jolie in Atelier Versace. The dress was stunning, but it seemed to swamp her. Either she needs to add some meat to her bones, or a more fitted dress. 

Cameron Diaz in Gucci. She always looks fresh, flirty and statuesque. It's rather unfair really.

Colin Firth looked good but his wife, Livia, needed to loose the sleeves or change the bodice of her custom Valentino dress.

Emma Stone in Giambattista Valli. I know everyone was thinking Nicole Kidman circa 2007, but at the same time she made it her own, and made it fresh and new. Not to mention she looked amazing.

George Clooney and Stacy Keibler. He is one of those guys that get better with age. She looks like a million bucks in her Marchasa gown.

Gary Oldman - handsome man and he has a polka-dot pocket square.

My favorite of the night - Gwyneth Paltrow in Tom Ford

Giuliana Rancic in Tony Ward. I couldn't take my eyes off those sleeves, they were amazing.

Jessica Chastain in Alexander McQueen. This was my other favorite of the night. She looked like a fairy tale queen.

Jennifer Lopez in Zuhair Murad. Some didn't like it, but I gotta say, I think she is one of the few who can pull a dress like this off. And man, oh man, did she look hot on stage.

Kristen Wiig in J. Mendel. I have to agree with most, she needed more with her hair. I also wish she had a little extra sparkle, preferably in belt form.

Mia Jovovich in Elie Saab. She looks like a star, in all senses of the word.

Meryl Streep in Lanvin. She looked like the award winner she was. When I grow up, I wanna be as elegant as her mommy.

Michelle Williams in Louis Vuitton. I'm not a big fan of the peplum, but she makes this coral version look amazing. 

Natalie Portman in Dior. It was POLKA-DOT!!!

Viola Davis in Vera Wang. Her skin tone and that intense green was solid gold.

Octavia Spencer in Tadashi Shoji. She makes curves look like the new black dress: the most desirable of staples.

Penelope Cruz in Giorgio Armani. She walked on stage and my jaw dropped.

Rooney Mara in Givenchy. She will be sitting with Cate Blanchett and Tilda Swinton forever in the "she could wear that dress, and it didn't wear her" category. I can't wait!

Sandra Bullock in Marchesa. Loved the dress, but it did look best from back.

And lastly, Tina Fey. The only woman wearing Carolina Herrera. She looked amazing! 

P.S. My hair has done the messy form of her's, and I gotta say it just looks good. Try it, you'll probably love it.

Here's to the winner's and to next year's award season get ups!

So, I do fashion...

But I'm one of those bad people who didn't watch the Grammy's (particularly the red carpet). Granted I was at my sister's bridal shower and we don't have any type of recording system, but still. I feel bad. So amongst the doing of dishes and getting on top of job applications, I'm slowly going through pictures of last night's red carpet, and I can honestly say I like what I'm seeing...


And I had everything at my fingertips and then got lazy. Go me. Hopefully I won't be this bad with the Oscars on Sunday.

Adele in Armani = Amazing. Nothing else to say.

Carrie Underwood in Gomez Gracia. She is one of those disgusting people who is able to pull off white effortlessly. It's rather unfair, really.

Corinne Bailey Rae in Christian Siriano. Girly and fun, without being too much.

Fergie Jeean Paul Gaultier.I get where she was going, and I love her for it, but there is just something missing.

Jessie J in Julien MacDonald. One minute I like it, the next I don't. Perhaps if they got rid of the bottom ruffle I would love the dress without question.

Kelley Osborn in Tony Ward. She looked stunning. I just wish her hair was a shade darker, it just looks washed out.

Kelly Rowland in Alberta Ferretti. The only thing I don't like is he hairstyle, I'd kind of like to see it more crazy to contrast the dress.

Nicki Minaj in Versace. She wins for best statement look. Then again I might be biased due to the whole fairy tale aspect. The Pope was a nice touch.

Paris Hilton in Basil Soda. She really is just a stunning woman.

Taylor Swift in Zuhair Murad. No words, when I first saw the dress I'm pretty sure my jaw dropped.

Sasha Gradiva in unknown. Not gunna lie, this was one of my favorites. There's just something about the gun sleeve that I find too humorous to not like it.

As for the men...

Bruno Mars looks rather delicious in his 3 piece.

Adam Levine looked rather dashing. His date, Anne Vyalitsyna, looked pretty amazing too. Can I have her legs, please?

And last, but not least, Sir Paul McCartney... no words needed.

Now I really can't wait for the Oscars.

Long time no blog

But I'm sure that is rather preferable since I haven't done much. And since I neither enjoy reading, nor writing filler posts, I find it better to wait. Interesting things: I don't know if anyone that reads this blog remembers, I'm one of my sister's maids of honor (yes there's two, me and my baby sis) and as such, I am helping set up the bachlorette party. Not much to tell at the moment except that I created the invites and sent them out on Monday. I am rather proud of these beauties!

Yes it's blank, but you all don't need to know details! That's a surprise...

Also, every so often I enjoy attempting to feed myself real and interesting food. Oh, the horror stories my family could tell you. This time however, I actually made something to be proud of. After a little internet research (I bow at the alter of Google...) I was able to figure out how to bake bacon wrapped scallops. Now anyone who has ever tried to cook any seafood knows, it can either really good or really disastrous. Thankfully mine was the former. Personally, if anyone wants to try this amazingness, I would suggest looking at different recipes and figuring out what works best depending on what equipment and ingredients you have on hand. 

 I was even classy and had some white wine (Chardonnay to be exact) with my dinner. Also, it may look small, but boy does it fill you up.
