and the oscar goes to...

*this was scheduled to post the monday after oscar night. for some reason it didn't. sorry its up so late!

we all love the oscars right?

i do.

i love tuning in, making my guesses at who will win,

talking about stars/films that do or don't deserve to win,

and making fun of people that suck at reading a teleprompter.

but my favorite part?

the fashion. it is the best part of the oscars.

so, for a little entertainment (and if you didn't catch the oscars live),

here's who i thought were the best and worst dressed [women] at the 2010 academy awards.

the worst (what were they thinking?)

{charlize theron in christian dior}

apparently she was in full bloom. need i say more?

{nicole richie in reem acra}

usually, i'm a big fan of her style. she's one of my fashion icons actually,

but this? she looks cleopatra being eaten by a big sparkly snake.

{vera farmiga in marchesa}

looking like a wedding center piece, i cringed when i saw vera.

the color had promise. the rest? didn't.

{sarah jessica parker in chanel}

as carrie bradshaw, i think we've all thought sjp couldn't go wrong,

we've deemed her a fashion goddess so to speak.

but then again i also thought chanel couldn't go wrong.

i was proved wrong on both accounts when i saw this getup.

obviously sjp didn't have her carrie on last night.

{zoe saldana in givenchy}

the top of the dress had promise,

but the lower down you went, the bigger the problem you had.

her duster/party decoration frock didn't cut it for me.

and

{j-lo in armani prive}

the thing about this dress is, i loved the shape.

even the huge poof thing was alright for me.

it was the texture of this dress.

she looks like she had to go through customs before she hit the oscars,

all bubble wrapped and styrafoamed.

well, after all that lets move over to who looked fabulous.

the best.

{demi moore in atelier versace}

i loved everything about this dress.

the color.

the shape.

the frills.

she looked stunning.

{elizabeth banks in versace}

this was pretty similar to demi's only different enough.

again, the color, shape, frills and i love the intricite stitching on the bodice.

a-list in my book.

{sandra bullock in marchesa}

ironic isn't it?

one person wears a hideous marchesa piece,

and another wears a gorgeous marchesa piece.

one wins best actress (the one in the good frock),

the other doesn't win anything.

 

{cameron diaz in oscar de le renta}

does cameron every look bad?

i can't really remember a time.

i'm sure there was one.

it just wasn't last night.

{anna kendrick in elie saab couture}

she was critisized for wearing a skin toned dress,

i however, think she looks great.

the dress is super age appropriate and it was her first oscar nom ever!

give the girl a break. i thought she looked fab.

{penelope cruz in donna karan couture}

i love the color of this dress.

she stood out amoung all the other skin toned and lighter pieces

that graced the red carpets last night, and i think she looked amazing.

when it comes right down to it,

what i say has no matter to anyone who "matters"

but i'm gunna share anyway!

that's all i have for tonight.

who were your faves and least faves at the oscars?

i'd like to thank the academy,

{all pics were found via google.com most were taken from instyle.}

the daily wears {#1} -- becoming blair.

so i've been working on this other blog called

"the daily wears"

i was going to take a picture of my outfit everyday,

post it,

and then talk about how in-expensive the whole outfit was because, lets face it, i ♥ shopping, and clothes, and fashion, but i'm broke as a joke. so to maintain a healthy level of shopping in this time of un-employment for me, i've gone to new lengths to find what i like, but at much lower prices. (this probably works for me because i don't care a smidgen whether its name brand or not. give me my knock offs anyday and i'll wear it and work it like nobody's business!)

we-ll, i know what a hassle it is to bounce from blog to blog

so i've decided to just do that here, with some minor tweeks.

so, here, for my very newest tradition, is my first "daily wears" post:

becoming blair

inspiration: blair waldorf (from gossip girl)

total cost of outfit: roughly $55

to channel blair i chose to focus on some of her signiture pieces:

the results:

{black cardigan} kohls $12.00

{purple dress (used as a shirt in this case)} ross $8.00

{jean high-waisted flare skirt} american eagle $12.00

{argyle tights} walmart $5.00

{silver shoes} ross $10.00

{candies headband} kohls $6.00
(please note, these are all rounded numbers)

whadda ya think?
tune in next time for another post of "the daily wears".
until then,

xoxo,

{all pics of blair waldorf were found via google.com/images, all pics of me were found via my desktop and taken courtesy of sissykins. sorry for the crappy quality. it was late when i got in so we had to settle for pics inside.}
