OSCARS 2012

I'm gonna start this off by saying, I was incredibly underwhelmed this year. Emma Stone, as much as I loved the dress probably wouldn't have been on this list-if there was someone else on the red carpet who completely blew my mind. Luckily the top 3 on this list surely did!

5.) Emma Stone in Giambattista Valli- It reminded me of Nicole Kidman's Balenciaga a couple years back. But she kept it fresh. And I love huge, dramatic bows so much that every time I see it on the red carpet, it puts a smile to my face.

4.) Angelina Jolie in Atelier Versace-I love this dress and how simply stunning she looked, but good God-what was with the posing tonight? She just had to show off that leg every second she could. But this dress was so beautiful. I just adore velvet-it's such a unique texture for a gown.

3.) Michelle Williams in Louis Vuitton-This was by far the best she looked this awards season. Love the coral peachy color, which didn't really come across as well on screen, as it does in pictures. The tiers and the ruffles just suit her delicate frame so nicely.

2.) Rooney Mara in Givenchy-I think she's found her designer. She's been wearing Givenchy on the red carpet a lot lately, and it's no surprise. The architectural yet ethereal way the dress looks is perfect. She probably has one of the most beautiful faces in Hollywood right now. And her makeup and hair suited this dress so well. 

1.) Jessica Chastain in Alexander McQueen-She was the first person I saw on the red carpet, and I threw my hands up and said-"That's it!" As if no one could top it. And no one did. I was so surprised by her choice, because she usually opts for deep teals or pastels, and solid colors. I was definitely not expecting her to pull out McQueen. She looks so breathtaking, and during her red carpet interview-you can just tell she is probably the nicest person. Makes her that much more attractive.

Well, another awards season is over. And I always tell myself at the end of it, that perhaps I'll be on that red carpet one day. Until then, I quite enjoy doing this. Hopefully if/when I'm on that carpet in the future, I'll be on someone's best dressed list as well. Xoxo

Keep making me laugh

Today was a great day. Days off with my love are always great, because it's so rare for us to have them in the first place. We stayed around the better part of the valley, having lunch at Sweet Butter, window shopping, and catching a movie. Can I just say, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo has got to be one of the best films of 2011. I'm still reeling from how great it is, hours after seeing it. It's made me that much more obsessed with Rooney Mara. My one gripe, having to pay $15 at the Arclight since it's a holiday. We're loyalty members, but I keep forgetting to order my tickets online. The movie ended up being worth every penny-thank goodness. 

In other news, the Golden Globes were last night. And every year, during awards season-I always do a best and worst dressed post. I decided to just go with the best only because I pretty much hated the majority of last night's fashion. Huge disappointments for a lot of people-cough Mila Kunis cough. But the 5 pictured above were standouts to me:

5.) Rooney Mara in Nina Ricci-She stayed true to herself. Loved the shaggy ponytail. She's just an epic beauty who doesn't really need much to stand out. Loved the cut-outs with the little bows on her dress. Enough girliness with a huge amount of edge.
4.) Emily Blunt in Elie Saab-Wish she would've walked the red carpet. She seemed annoyed when she presented, but it didn't matter because all I could focus on was her body in that amazingly beautiful dress. The color and the detail speaks for itself. 
3.) Nicole Richie in Julien McDonald-I love that she's getting a little more glamorous. I'll always love bohemian Nicole, but I loved this side of her too. So sexy with the metallic dress and I love how she still incorporated her design with the House of Harlow clutch. And she's giving good hair!
2.) Angelina Jolie in Versace-I mean, come on! Just look at her picture. She's so regal on the red carpet, you just know you're looking at a movie star. A lot of people were making fun of the red fold on the dress, but that happens to be my favorite part. The dress would be boring otherwise.
1.) Charlize Theron in Dior Couture-My heart leapt when I saw her. She looked so angelic and ethereal, without looking schmaltzy. The tiered bow on the side was the right amount of uniqueness and fun. I haven't seen her look this good on the red carpet in awhile.

So there you have it. There are still a couple more awards-the most important being the Oscars. And I am super pumped for that. Hope you guys had a magical day!

Fresh to death...

Hello, my name is Rooney Mara, and I'm perfect. 

Talk about someone who not only is a truly gifted and committed actor-but also has an incredible sense of style. I don't know who her stylist is (or if she even has one) but she has been killing it on the red carpet lately. That hair cut is probably the best thing to ever happen to her. 

What can I say? Looks like I have a major girl crush on the girl with the dragon tattoo. ;p

Can't wait to see what she pulls out at the Golden Globes on Sunday!
