the new "it" girl


Jennifer Lawrence has been spoken about consistently since her debut in the Hunger Games, but things really took off with her Oscar-winning performance in Silver Linings Playbook. After winning the Academy award this Sunday, the internet is completely engulfed with love for Jennifer. I don't blame them. After watching her on the red carpet, I've learned to love her honesty, crassness, and humor. 
.......And as the following link suggests, who wouldn't want to be her bff? 

Make sure to watch the video clips on the left side... absolutely hilarious.

the Oscars!

Unfortunately, I didn't catch any of the Oscars last night and I'm kind of p'ed. I slept for what felt like 20 hours and missed all of the awards show. What I did catch was about 4 hours of the red carpet coverage. For this instance, that's all I really need. So, let's roll out my top picks from last nights fashion.

My top pick may surprise you, but I absolutely love the dress..............
Jennifer Garner in Gucci
I am obsessed with the back of this dress. I wish there were better photos taken of it, but I can't find a single one that does it justice. The color is like a really beautiful purpley-fuschia.  Love.

Runner-up is non other than Jennifer Lawrence in Dior Haute Couture. She looked stunning. My only reservation about the dress is how bridal it looked, although most of the red carpet correspondents felt that it veered from that because of her young age. I still felt like I would've loved to float in that at my wedding.
She also nailed it on the accessories. The drop necklace was just what the dress needed. I love that she didn't just throw some million dollar diamond necklace around her neck, which could've been very easy, but certainly not as dramatic or modern.

Last but not least, my 2nd runner-up is a tie.
Amy Adams in Oscar and the Tatums in Gucci
Now seriously, Amy is so fairy-tale like. So angelic and practically perfect. She looked flawless in this light blue Oscar de la Renta gown.
Jenna Dewan-Tatum is probably one of the best looking prego's I've seen on the red carpet. Helps that she's blessed with good genes, but it also doesn't hurt when you have one of the best looking men in Hollywood as your husband beside you. She apparently has a few more months left in her pregnancy and they announced on the red carpet that they will not be slowing down for baby, in fact they have plans to give birth in London where Channing will be on location. 

My pick for worst dressed last night went to:
Kristen Stewart in Reem Acra
Here's a thought: it's the Oscars, brush your hair.

That's a wrap on red carpet season. So many amazing looks from last night, much more than I could touch on. Congrats to all the winners, especially Adele and Ben Affleck!

FW: London

London Fashion Week kicked off Feb 15 and ran thru this past Tuesday, Feb 19th. In those few short days, I saw more out of London that made me so happy than I did at Mercedes Benz. Theres just something to be said for the people across the pond.
Temperley London Look 7

Paul Smith Look 16

Matthew Williamson Look 28

Burberry Prorsum Look 2

Wasn't a fan of the Tom Ford, Issa or L'Wren Scott show. The Moschino C&C show looked like it rolled out of the shore house in Seaside Heights... I yawned. On the other hand, seriously obsessed with the Temperley and Matthew Williamson shows. GAH... they are SO good. London was more impressive to me than all of New York. Their eye, their aesthetic, the color palettes, and the silhouettes are just perfectly put. 

Are you inspired?
