Tuesday's Top 10; The Oscars Best Dressed

This Sunday evening we began what I have a feeling will be a tradition, of cheering on Hailee at the Oscars. I was quite excited about my roses and overpriced plastic oscars which I picked up on Hollywood blvd this Saturday:

And also a tad too excited about the taco bar... and well stocked refreshment bar (hydration is so pivotal). 

Naturally, aside from the best supporting actress category, I was most excited about red carpet arrivals.
Sadly, with the exception of Hailee and Cate Blanchett I was slightly underwhelmed. I just felt like some fun and frivolity was missing...

Yet, I somehow managed to pick my nine favorites of the evening, plus one after party all star.

Cate Blanchett in Givenchy 

Our Hailee in her custom made Marchesa! 

Camila Alves in Kaufmanfranco

Gwyneth Paltrow in Calvin Klein 

Hilary Swank in Gucci 

Mandy Moore in Monique Lhuillier 

Florence Welch in Valentino 

Jennifer Lawrence in Calvin Klein 

Rhea Durham in Naeem Kahn 

And now we move to the after party because, quite honestly, there weren't 10 dresses I loved on the red carpet (disappointment).... 

Diane von Furstenberg 

Who were your favorites?

Friday's Favorite Things.

As I sit here enjoying a glass of Syrah in pajamas and my grandma's angora sweater I thought I'd fill you in on five of my favorite things this week.

1. Favorite words to live by: "Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening." - Coco Chanel

2. Favorite eye candy: (the best moments occur when they get overly enthused.)

Boys of Milan & Paris FW2011 from Justin Wu on Vimeo.

3. Favorite bog: One of my fresher blog finds, 5 Inch and Up. The outfit below, which she styled this week for a Next competition, has elements I thought I'd hate (flowered pants and a sweater wrapped around the waist) yet I still think she looks completely awesome.

4. Favorite discovery: Eating popcorn and edamame for every meal= no dishes.

5. Favorite Picture:

"When I was young I used to have this thing where I wanted to see everything. I used to think ‘How can I die without seeing every inch of this world?'"

Leonardo DiCaprio

... I have this exact thought on the reg my little Leo. But then I wonder, maybe you can see everything if only you choose to see it. Maybe you can see a world of possibilities in what's around you. Maybe... 

Girl Crush: Jane Birkin

The name Birkin really never meant much to me aside from the beloved Hermes bag, until this weekend when I stumbled upon images of the British actress, singer and muse. Her style was so effortless and cool and left me mildly obsessed with anything she wore.

Take a peek at the images below for some inspiration...
