My Top 10 Favorite Oscar Night Gowns

Of course I tuned into the 84th Annual Academy Awards last night, and even though red carpet images are everywhere you look today, I'm still going to share my very own Best Dressed List! Why not? This year's Academy Awards celebrated some seriously amazing films and so many of the stars' gowns lived up to the occasion!

From top to bottom, left to right: Angelina Jolie in Atelier Versace, Michelle Williams in Louis Vuitton, Ellie Kemper in Armani Prive, Milla Jovovich in Elie Saab, Giuliana Rancic in Tony Ward, Emma Stone in Giambattista Valli Haute Couture, Octavia Spenser in Tadashi, Jessica Chastain in Alexander McQueen, Cameron Diaz in Gucci, Stacy Keibler (with George Clooney) in Marchesa

I didn't list my top 10 in any particular order, but if I had to pick a favorite, I must say that Michelle Williams' Louis Vuitton peplum frock was a clear winner for me! My favorite Oscar Night moments were Octavia Spenser's and Meryl Streep's acceptance speeches, and I loved having Billy Crystal back as host! Overall, it was just a classy night. (Except for the awkward post-Oscar "On the Red Carpet" show on ABC. Did anyone else catch the "did that really just happen?" moment when the wrong camera was on and some lady said the F-word? Oops.)

Which 2012 Oscar Night gown was your favorite?

Guest Post on "What the Frock?"

Make sure to check out my guest post on What the Frock? today.  I'm sharing my latest "girl crush," Elizabeth Olsen, and how to imitate her style on a budget. (Even if I weren't guest blogging, I'd still recommend this fabulous blog if you love fashion, and believe in having both a full closet and a full wallet!)

Kate's Dreamy Day

The September issue of VOGUE magazine gives a behind-the-scenes look into the beautiful Gatsby-esque wedding of supermodel Kate Moss.  As I not so patiently wait for my issue to arrive in my mailbox, these photos that VOGUE released yesterday are definitely holding me over.  Up until this point, I'd only seen random paparazzi shots.  I cannot get over the details of this wedding: from the idyllic twelfth century church that the ceremony took place in, to Kate's little posse of bridesmaids pageboys, to the Edwardian wicker sets sprinkled across the garden. Vintage Rolls-Royces... the Gloucester Cathedral choir singing "You Can't Always Get What You Want" at the ceremony... a jazz band playing "It Had to Be You" in the white marquee as guests wander to the reception... the wait staff lights votive candles that hang from fruit trees in jam jars... Victorian chandeliers and Chesterfield sofas surround the dining pavilion and dance floor... It's all just so classy and elegant, with just enough of a hint of rock and roll edge to make it cool. Definitely not another typical celebrity wedding.

"Just before she sets off, Kate requests 'a few words, a story to inspire her--she loves a bit of direction!' says (John) Galliano. 'I told her, 'You have a secret--you are the last of the English roses-- and when he lifts your veil he's going to see your wanton past!'" -VOGUE

Blake & Leo *sigh*

This is so totally shallow, and as you know, I'm not the type to gush over celebrity couples on my blog.... (until now.)  But seriously???

Us Weekly / The Inquisitr

Blake Lively and Leonardo DiCaprio? Forget the age difference, go Serena! (I mean Blake!) Way to live out every 90's girl's dream! Photos of Blake & Leo have totally been my latest celebrity news highlight. (Sorry, Ashley and J.P.)  And if this post is causing you to question the content of my blog, I ask you to give me a break... it's the weekend! :)

Who's your favorite celebrity couple?  And who else was shocked to hear about Marc & J.Lo?

"All was well."

Does today feel like the end of an era to anyone else? Thanks, Harry Potter, for always giving me something to look forward to for the past thirteen years!

Dear Blair Waldorf....

Can I be you?  Pretty please? Or at least share your clothes, handbags, and shoes, go to Paris as many times as you, and hang out with Chuck Bass?

(I won't even waste my time pretending to act ashamed of this obsession.)


XOXO,
