The show was a disappointment.....

But the fashion was not. Fashion of the Oscars, thank you for being the only thing that kept my interest in a 3 1/2 hour show and for making the awkward cheerleader moments from Anne Hathaway less painful.

My thoughts..... (and please share yours)

Natalie- The thing that killed this dress for me was the hem line in the front and those awful shoes. If you can wear those 4 inch heels when you are prego, make it worth it. Those shoes weren't.

I really hate to say this Reese, I didn't love this look. Yes, you are beautiful but I felt like you were "Academy Awards" Barbie and I needed you to be "Post break up with your husband and you wear a killer yellow dress" Barbie.

I still love you and yes I want my hair to be blond now! 

No.

Now my top 6.

6. I have never seen light purple look so good since Julia Roberts in My Best Friends Wedding.

5. I want this dress in adult size

4. In the words of Bailey Huntsman "Sparkles and Feathers.... Yes!"

3. If I can't have the dress, I would settle for the body. :)

2. I know this dress was up for debate last night but i loved it. The more I watched the show the more I fell head over heals for it. Classic and beautiful... minus that bad picture of her back. Yikes! 

1. My favorite part is the 2 inches of hem that is a different color. Its all in the details.

My last comment is to Colin Firth, who will forever me my Mr. Darcy. I love you and if you are in a movie I will see it. Congrats!

New Holiday!

Its official. LJP & I are brilliant!
Let me explain. :)
Fashion Week in NYC. This wonderful week is taking place as you read.... Congrats are in order for all of us because we will reap the cheap knock off benefits as a result of this beautiful event. The question is, why aren't the fashion shows being streamed live on television? They show everything else.... Why can't I have fashion week? Think of the great times that could be had. Vacation time off work, wearing heals and pearls while lounging on my couch, drinking vitamin water (because they drank that on fashion week in SATC) and just some good quality girl time.

**Side note, I did find out that there is some type of live stream on the internet. This could be an urban myth. I got this information from a closet reader. Thanks for the info.**

So this is where Lindsay and I become brilliant.... legends if you will.
We were talking at dinner about what a great week this is and how it should be a holiday.... oh my word, IT SHOULD BE A HOLIDAY. Before I say this next statement, I need to say that I am not one of those bitter single girls, that hate the day covered in hearts. I actually like the holiday. I think its a cute holiday, with pink and sparkles and hearts. But with that being said LJP and I are going to for go Valentines and celebrate Fashion Week.
How would one go about celebrating this you ask? You first must get dressed up.... great shoes, great hair, and great accessories. You get a group of BF's together, a stack of fashion magazines, and a great restaurant. This is going to be BIG.... and hallmark will be forced to make cards.

Now what you are really waiting for..... My favorites.

 Calvin Klein

 Marc Jacobs

 DKNY

 Michael Kors

 Jason Wu

Oscar de la Renta

Lets give it up for Thanksgiving.

Lets give a big ol' thanks for this....

At this point you are probably wondering why you even bother reading my blog. Yes, I did just post a picture of a tree and for very good reason. Everything under the sun is inspired by something. Every design, every color, and every article of clothing.

Thank you Mr. Tree for giving someone the inspiration to design this...

and thanks to Target for letting me find it on a sale rack for $7.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Can I say no????

I found this and have no idea what I was even searching for....
but I am in love.

I have looked at this everyday for the past week.... I think it has turned into an obsession. 

My perfect day in this jacket would be:

I would first wear a pair of holy jeans with a simple white tee. Shoes would either be heels or a pair of flat tenni's. I would go to Panera and order a medium coffee in an actual mug. I would drink it black and read Jane Austen. Then I would head to Quail Mall, not to shop, but to watch a movie. I would look awesome going to a movie by myself in that jacket. 

Readers, please tell me reasons why I can justify buying this jacket????
