Top Five Best Dressed Academy Awards 2013

Hey guys! Since the Oscars were on last night, I thought that today would be the perfect day to do a Best Dressed list :) I am not going to do a worst dressed list, however, I will be detailing my top five dresses of the night in order from number 5 all the way up to number 1! Unfortunately, I fell asleep before the end of the show BUT I am so happy that Jennifer Lawrence won best actress!!! I am so happy for her!! Anyway, back onto the fashion.....

5.) Kerry  Washington- I loved this dress!! The color looked fabulous on her as well as the fit of the dress. I loved that she actually went for color since so many people take to black and neutrals on the red carpet. The glittery top was stunning followed by the little bow and the long skirt. The top half of this dress was really what stood out to me. I liked this immediately when I saw it. It was different in the best of ways and I think that it made Kerry look absolutely fabulous for a fabulous night.

4.) Nicole Kidman- This dress was amazing!! I loved the neck line and the cut of this dress. It was just body con enough but not so much that she looked like a sausage. I thought that the gold and black sequins were absolutely stunning!! There is not better way to hit the red carpet than in a glittery gown!! In addition, the gold circles at the bottom added a fun little touch to the dress that completed it.  I loved how this dress was edgy with the sequins, but yet remained classy. That to me, is the perfect combination for the red carpet!!

3.) Stacy Keibler- Okay, now I have to tell you guys...Stacy's season of Dancing With The Stars was the first season that I had ever watched and she was so good and I had no idea who she was but rooted and voted for her the whole time. With that said, I didn't even recognize her at first!! Her new brown hair color looks really good on her! I actually think I like it better than the blond; she doesn't look washed out as a brunet. As for her dress. I am not usually a fan of that neck line, but I loved this dress!! I think that the little round studs all over the dress were outstanding and it, again, was a fabulous mix of edgy and classy. Stacy's dress was unique and she looked absolutely gorgeous!!

1 and 1a.) Jennifer Lawrence and Hallie Berry- I can't choose!! I loved both of these women's dresses soooo much and for totally different reasons. I would probably give Hallie the 1 and Jennifer the 1a, but neither of these dresses deserved a 2. If you haven't already gotten the picture...the more glam the better in my eyes....Hallie's dress was fabulous with the black and silver glitter stripes, the sleeves and the little pieces across the lover chest area made the dress!!! I loved this so much!! I never wear dresses with sleeves, but I would wear this in a heart beat! It looked stunning with her styling and it really just stood out among all of the other dresses last night. Now onto Jennifer. Jennifer Lawrence is seriously my favorite actress. Honestly, I am not a big movie person so I like never know anyone's name but I know her. The Hunger Games was one of my all time favorite movies and Silver Lining's Playbook I have not seen yet but plan on watching it as soon as it comes out on DVD. I am so glad that she won best actress because I think that she really deserves it. In my eyes, she is the next Meryl Streep. Jennifer is always very classy with her choice in clothing. This is actually the only non-sparkly dress on my list and I am putting it all the way up at number 1. The bridal esq gown with the huge trail was regal looking and made her look as fabulous as she is!! Last night was her night and she looked like it. I think that it was the perfect dress for her last night as it really captured the entire ceremony and her role in it. (Also, do you think it is a coincidence that she was in a bridal esq gown and will be "getting married" in Catching Fire???)

And that is my Best Dressed list for this years Academy Awards!!! Let me know if you agree with my list, and who your top five best dressed were in the comment section below.

Project Runway 10-15-15 Recap Review

Previously on Project Runway: The designers gave members of the Project Runway crew a makeover. Hey guys! Welcome to this week's Project Runway Recap Review! We are getting closer and closer to fashion week each episode and the competition is getting tight. At this point, any of the designers could go home. Last week was packed with drama...but...its a new week, and a fresh slate, so lets get started. Challenge: The five remaining designers will make an outfit inspired by the New York City bridges (Queensborough, Brooklyn, Manhattan). The designers were assigned a bridge from the black bag of doom. Each designer created a textile with a 3-D printer that they had to incorporate into their garment. This is an Avant Garde challenge. Thoughts In The Workroom:  I'm not so sure what I think about 3-D printers...comment down below and let me know what you think about them (in general, not just in fashion). Candice made a good choice not using black again this week. Designers wh...

Is The Rhode Peptide Lip Treatment Worth the Hype?

 Hey Fashionista's! Today we are going to talk all about Hailey Bieber's Rhode Skincare line. This is not sponsored, I just really wanted to talk about these products. This semester in my public speaking class, I taught a unit all about persuasive speaking. My goal was to make the topic of persuasive speaking more relatable by showing how prevalent it is in our modern world. What was the product I brought in to show the power of persuasive speaking in the "influencer era"? You bet it was the Rhode Peptide Lip Treatment. If you are a longtime reader, you know I rarely talk about skin care. Actually, I have probably never talked about skin care. That's because I don't really know what to say. I don't ever buy the trendy products because I am allergic to so many of them and if not, they make me break out. BUT Hailey Bieber got me- talk about effective persuasive speaking. I watched a few videos on YouTube of her using the products and talking about their ing...

Best Sustainable Brands of 2023

 Hey Fashionistas! Recently, I have been trying to make better fashion/beauty choices for the environment so I thought I would share some of my favorites with you. None of this is sponsored (although, if you're one of the brands I mentioned- hi and please feel free to reach out). Garnier: I wanted to start out with Garnier because they are not only an environmentally friendly brand but they are also my favorite beauty brand of all time. Garnier is a holy grail for me. I discovered this brand when they were featured on Project Runway many years ago and they completely changed my confidence. I use so many of their products on my hair: Mouse, Curl Cream, Hair Spray, Hair Gel, Shampoo, Conditioner, Conditioning Masks, etc.  Recently, I have switched from the traditional shampoo bottle to the shampoo bar and I am so glad that I did. I still get that Garnier glow to my hair while using less unnecessary plastics. Other Garner Fructis shampoo and conditioner bottles are made partly fr...
