Oscars 2011

Another award season has come and gone with the 2011 Academy Awards this past Sunday wrapping it all up. Oscar Night was a fun night spent watching the show with friends - I came in second place amongst my friends with the home ballots!! I got 11 categories right and was neck-in-neck with my friend until it all came down to Best Picture. He put The King's Speech, and I The Social Network. Obviously The King's Speech won and so I didn't win the competition but I'm still happy because that was a great, great movie as well. Aside from the many awards given out (pretty happy with all of them), there were many great looking men in tuxes and, of course, the red carpet. Here are my favorites from the night!



Mila Kunis was my favorite of the night. She looked stunning and that Elie Saab Haute Couture dress is absolutely perfect. I thought that the color really looked great with her skin-tone and hair.


Loved Natalie Portman in custom Rodarte - she's been a favorite of mine all award season and this dress definitely tops the list. She even gave a shout-out to the Mulleavy sisters in her acceptance speech! ; Scarlett Johansson also wore a wine color in this lace Dolce & Gabbana dress. I thought the dress was gorgeous and her messy hair is the perfect accessory; That white Chanel Haute Couture gown is perfect and it looks flawless on Michelle Williams. I loved that she didn't pair it with a lot of accessories so that the beauty of the dress really stands out.


I thought Hailee Steinfeld looked great in Marchesa. She's really good at looking glamorous while still being age-appropriate and you can tell she's going to be an it-girl when she gets older; I thought Jennifer Lawrence looked really elegant in this simple Clavin Klein Collection number. The dress is minimal, but definitely sexy; Co-host Anne Hathaway made a gorgeous entrance in this Valentino gown. Also, how cute is it that Valentino himself was Anne's arm candy for the carpet?

And while we're talking about Anne Hathaway, let's just talk about the fact that she got to wear eight (EIGHT) different gowns as co-host. I definitely think Rachel Zoe and Anne make the perfect celebrity/stylist team because Anne always looks flawless. Here are my favorites from the show!

This Versace dress was definitely my favorite - and maybe hers too since she wore it the Vanity Fair after party as well. The scalloped sweetheart neckline is literally to die for and I love the detailing. (Also, James Franco looks great (as always) in that velvet tux.)

I loved these four looks the most. The dresses were all fun, chic and elegant at the same time - which is very Anne to me. And, I mean, the tux with those shoes (and James in a dress)?? What's not to love. From left: Givenchy Haute Couture, Lanvin, Oscar de la Renta, and Armani Prive

SAG Awards 2011

The SAG Awards were last night and I have to be honest, the dresses were not as exciting as the Golden Globes! I feel like maybe it's because there were less people there, but I really hated some of the dresses that I saw on the red carpet. Regardless, there were still some wonderful dresses that I picked out. I saw a lot of reds and pinks again, which I'm still not hating! Also, a lot of these are actresses that I liked at the Golden Globes as well, so I can't wait to see what they wear for the Oscars! I feel like these awards shows are build-up for everyone to pull out their best look at the Oscars, and since its been overall good this year, I'm really excited to see what everyone wears! Anyway without further ado, here are my favorite picks from last night!




Mila Kunis definitely stole the show in this red Alexander McQueen gown. She looks absolutely stunning and this dress is definitely something I would wear! She was my favorite of the night, and from twitter and other fashion blogs I can tell that I'm not the only one! Mila definitely made a statement in this dress!


I think I'm having a major girl crush moment with Natalie Portman, and I loved her showing off her baby bump in this white Azzaro dress; Lea Michele always wears Oscar de La Renta, probably because she looks amazing in it, and she definitely looks amazing in this sparkling blush gown! I also love her big wavy hair; I thought Tina Fey looked so amazing and so elegant in this red detailed gown, also by Oscar de La Renta.


I wasn't sure about including Dianna Agron here, I didn't like her heavy make-up and hair, but that vintage Chanel dress is to die for; I thought Claire Danes looked great in this Louis Vuitton gown, and that she styled it well; January Jones is really always a favorite for me, and she did not disappoint last night in this beautiful Carolina Herrera gown. And I absolutely loved her updo!

Golden Globes 2011

Award season has started!! I love award shows and love love watching the red carpet for all the glamorous looks. The Golden Globes last night were great, I was happy with all the winners and I really think everyone looked great this year - there were a lot more well dressed than not!! It was pretty hard for me to narrow down favorites because everyone looked great but I got it down to my 10 favorites!

Something that stood out to me was that a lot of the people on my list are wearing shades of pink, which is weird for me. Back in the day when I was a really cool (read: dorky) middle schooler, I went through a phase where I was obsessed with pink and basically everything in my room was pink, but I got so sick of that so quickly that I vowed off pink for good. To this day, pink has been one of my least favorite colors - I can count the number of pink items of clothing I own on one hand. But lately, its been growing on me again. It started with peaches more, but now, as you can tell by my favorites, I'm actually into pink right now. We'll see how this affects my wardrobe! Anyway, here are my favorites from the Golden Globes!




Emma Stone was hands down my favorite of the night. Like I said, I've been loving the color peach and she just looks absolutely stunning in Calvin Klein Collection. And although I'm a fan of redheads, I love her as a blonde. Newest girl crush? I think yes!


Anne Hathaway in Giorgio Armani Prive - I feel like only she could pull of this dress but she does it beautifully; Dianna Agron channeling Betty Draper or Grace Kelly (or both!) in J. Mendel; Leighton Meester also looking great in sharp shoulders in Burberry Prorsum.


I was so happy that Natalie Portman won Best Actress for Black Swan! She definitely deserved it after an amazing performance and she looks absolutely stunning with her baby bump in Viktor & Rolf; January Jones in Versace - WOW hello Vixen! She looks amazing with a red dress and red lips; Jennifer Lawrence, from Winter's Bone, looks elegant yet fun and modern in this black Louis Vuitton gown.


Angelina Jolie also wore sharp shoulders last night, but in a gorgeous emerald green Atelier Versace gown; Mila Kunis, also in emerald green, looking beautiful in a one-shouldered Vera Wang gown; Amy Adams looks amazing in this one-shoulder Marchesa gown - I love the laser cut details in the bodice.

golden globes favorites

Hello all! First, I started a tumblr: it's more for me, so I can stop saving so many pictures on my laptop! So it'll have non-fashion related posts too, but if you want to see more sides of owl wings then you can find it here! Anyway, awards season has started and the Golden Globes last night gave us our first dose of the red carpet! I loved, and hated, a lot of the dresses last night, but I narrowed it down to my Top Five so here they are:


Drew Barrymore in Atelier Versace, Zoe Saldana in Louis Vuitton, Emily Blunt in Dolce & Gabbana
