My Favorites:

Oscar Red Carpet

Award season has always  been one of my favorite times of the year.

Like Christmas, the anticipation of waiting for the celebrities to make
their debut on the red carpet makes me so anxious and excited.
The Oscars is one of the most highly anticipated Red Carpets we watch and 
therefore many opinions are flying around with Who is worst/best dressed. 
Some like dresses trendier, sexier or edgy, but for my own personal
taste, I always love a dramatic, romantic and
feminine gown, I mean its the Oscars afterall. 

Here are my best-dressed contenders...

Maybe I'm a little bias because in my eyes, Kate Hudson
rarely does anything wrong style wise, but she once again has my
vote for best dressed. She wore Atelier Versace which shes worn in the
past and fits her body to a T. The cut, shine, structure and cape of the dress
are just perfection. Something that I admire about Kate is she only
wears pieces she likes and that she feels comfortable in. There is an
effortless glam about her and it doesn't hurt that she's kind of Hollywood
Royalty... One of the best things about Red Carpet moments
with Kate is her killer confidence, the girl knows how to work
a good angle.  

 Both of these girls look so amazing in these strapless gowns and both are donning
Roberto Cavalli. I feel like it isn't often we see Cavalli on the Red Carpet
at an event like The Oscars, but I am loving both of these. He knows exactly
how to make gowns shine and accentuate a womans figure.

To think this is her first Award Season is crazy because every Red Carpet
this girl has stepped on she has blown out of the water, and
last night was no exception. Lupita looked beautiful in this
custom made Prada light blue grecian gown. With softer make-up
and a crystal headband, she deserves all of the style spotlight
she is getting.

A Few of My 

Favorite Things

There are many things to love about my move from

Boston to Los Angeles..While I love my job and the weather

(It is literally 75* and sunny everyday),

today I explored some of my favorite shopping destinations,

and was in complete awe when I found out how

much better the selection of clothing and accessories

are here in Lala land than back in Boston.

While the weather is partly responsible for that fact, 

stores like Nordstrom and Bloomingdales buy items for their

stores based on their clientele and I didn't see one pair of

Berkinstocks today at Barney's...Just saying. 

Anywho, just from my exploration of little boutiques on

Robertson like Curve and the amazing Neiman Marcus out here,

I thought I'd share with you some of my favorite pieces and trends :)

Catherine MalandrinoStrapless Silk Jumpsuit
(Available at Saks Fifth Avenue)
I have always been a lover of jumpsuits and
rompers, but only when they are done well and not
looking like they are coming out of the "I'm Real" music
video. While they can be dressed up for a dinner, I feel as though
they look best during the day.

Alice + Olivia 

Lindsay Lace Tank

(Available at Neiman Marcus)

The older I get the more I realize that despite the

saying "One must suffer to be beautiful", I would

much rather be comfortably stylish than want to

ming someone in the throat because A.) I can't drink

my normal amount of Diet Coke without looking

like I just ate a small child or B.) worried that

I'll end up walking around like a homeless person with

no shoes because my heels were killing my feet. Purchasing

comfortable basics like the Tank listed above is perfect 

because it acts like a blank canvas and I can throw it on 

with boyfriend jeans and heeled sandals for the day or pair it 

with leather leggings, a chic blazer and pumps

at night.

3.1 Phillip Lim 

                                                          Pocketed Draped Trousers                                                              (Available at Neiman Marcus)

 I used to only wear skinny style pants. From denim to ponte knit pants,

I never left my comfort zone. However, I am kind of loving these draped

trousers..although I feel you should only wear a heel with them, unless its a

really chic and dressy flat.

Elisabeth and JamesLily Erwan Jacket
(Available at Nordstrom)

I saw this today at the completely
renovated Nordstrom at The Grove which is
amazing.. and fell in love with it instantly.
The smell of the leather, the seams and the
print is perfection. If it wasn't $1300 I would
probably already be wearing it to bed already.

Hope you enjoyed!

Stay tuned for my Oscars Red Carpet Post!
