Ooh La La Oscars

Tonight, the 86th Academy Awards were held in dreary Los Angeles at Dolby Theatre. While thousands of artists walked the Red Carpet, we have so carefully chosen our Best Dressed and are so excited to share them with you. As most of you probably already know, we are about staying positive and feeding off of positive energy this year. Therefore, we have decided to pick our top 'Best' rather than discuss the negative 'Worst.' Now, lets go gush over this years most fabulous dressed.

First off, I'll just admit that I have a total crush on Margot Robbie and I seriously think we would be total besties if we ever met. But, lets cut to the chase here. She has impressed me most out of anyone taking the Red Carpet this year (its only March 2nd people!) Not only did Margot win best dressed in our Golden Globes 'Off With A Bang' preview, she owns this years Oscars for sure. I die for the new brown locks (that I will totes be having my hairstylist find so my hair can be the same color! #totaltwinnies) and bold burgundy lip. The amazing gown and stunning beaded bodice by Yves Saint Laurent is absolutely impeccable. You can never go wrong with black either. Perfect choice. 

Olivia Wilde is what every soon-to-be mother should strive to be. This is, hands down, one of the most elegant and gorgeous looks any pregnant woman could choose. Her Maison Valentino frock is beyond words beautiful and her growing bump is just oh so cute. I love how simple and classic Olivia is while adding a little twist with those fab jewels and her adorable side kick fiance, Jason Sudeikis. I appreciate the fact that thirteen years from now when her son or daughter is able to comprehend most everything, she can show him or her a picture of her and Jason at the Oscars while she was pregnant and not be ashamed of her wardrobe choice. I have so much respect for her! Oh! And, to all the soon-to-be moms that may need a bit of help, give your girl Olivia a call. She will lead you in the right direction.

So... Brangelina. Like... no words. Honestly, the most classic and adorable couple (on earth) are right before our eyes. I obsess. Let's be honest. I am so head over heels for Angelina's metallic sequined Elie Saab gown and Brad's Tom Ford suit. I couldn't ask for more. Her hair flows gracefully while those big and bright diamond earrings peak out from her locks. As for Brad, his hair is perfectly combed back while acting casual as his girl captivates everything in existence. I am so thankful these two love birds were among those that attended this years Academy Awards because I am never ever disappointed.

Keep Makin' Me Ill (Week Three)

I have what the unenlightened would deride as a compulsion, fetish, infatuation, or obsession, yet I value as a virus every male and female should contract, Seriously Irresistible Shoes Syndrome. I need clothes (how many consecutive afternoons can one wear Lauren Conrad leggings? Love you LC), however when I even glimpse espadrilles, flats, sandals, stilettos, or wedges; necessities be damned! My eyes shimmer, my heart flutters, and within two hours, I’m reorganizing my closet because last week’s pair has new neighbors.

These eighteen carat spectacular Brian Atwood 'Consort' Sandals ($194) will not only regally accentuate a club required sparkly top and seductive jeans, forty percent has been slashed from their previous price ($325).

Strikingly artistic via their adventurous brush strokes of floral, these Yves Saint Laurent (YSL) 'Riviera' Sandals ($745) embed the initial and second syllable within versatility. Pair them with a red top, bold black jewelry, and white skinny jeans or a little black, red, or white dress.

These kaleidoscopic Paloma Barcelo Sandals ($250) are potentially the most fun and functional pair of shoes I have showcased, effortlessly amplified with a solid bright dress or subdued with a solid top and pants.

I absolutely die for these peerless Jessica Simpson 'Blairee' Sandals ($89), exquisite for pairing with dresses, jeans, skirts; and since my boyfriend edits each of my posts and we have his nephew's graduation party next weekend, hint, hint! :)

These ferocious, yet flirty Sam Edelman 'Myer' Sandals ($110) will simultaneously ensnare a frenemie's spite and a hottie's lust when worn with a printed top and an ultra hot pair of boot cut or skinny jeans.

International Loves

International Women's Day, a celebration both of female economic, political and social achievements and of respect, appreciation, and love towards women, was celebrated for the thirty-fifth year Thursday. In honor of one of the world's most obviously significant holidays (duh), below are five international women I absolutely adore.

Whenever I think Kate Hudson (USA), I think this Marchesa gown which I would seriously wear to bed every night if I owned it.  You can never (stress NEVER) go wrong with white on the red carpet.

Sara Ramirez (Mexico) was so scorching in this Tadashi Shoji LBD, George O'Malley begged God for another fifteen minutes of life. Muy Callie-ente!

If Nicole Kidman (Australia) ever thinks of exchanging her natural hair color for the blonde locks she expiramented with, she should remember or someone should show her a picture of the Grammy Awards when she rocked this Jean Paul Gaultier gown. Perfection!

Kate Winslet (England) once spoke of flying and she absolutely soars in this form fitting Yves Saint Laurent one shoulder. She is a porcelain doll.

Natalie Portman (Israel) is three cups of adorable, two ounces of enchanting, and one tablespoon of precious in this Rodarte gown. Most dressed baby bump ever.
