Oscars 2013

The Oscar's were held last Sunday in the States (Monday morning here) and I was so glad cause we didn't have class but then I thought "There aren't any local channels televising the Oscars" so I got sad and updated myself through Twitter instead. When I got online, I found out that they televised it on Studio 23 but by then my butt was parked firmly onto the computer so I didn't watch. When I checked my Facebook messages the next day, I got one from my friend asking if I'd make a post about my picks for the shows. So, CaLee, here it is. :))
Again I'm quite disappointed about the turn-out fashion-wise this year. :(  Trends I spotted were that the gowns leaned towards the lighter colors like nudes, whites, champagnes. There were also colors like blue but Jennifer Aniston's red BALL GOWN felt so out of place. I didn't love her look at all. It was like her waking up one day and playing dress-up with a ball gown!
Anyway, my favorites: Jessica Chastain in Armani Prive Total glamour puss!! I loved her look at last year's Oscars and I loved it again too!

What to Wear with Glasses

Who says girls in glasses can't be fashionable?

I wear glasses and I've been wearing them since 4th grade which is more than 10 years ago (go figure!). I would wear contacts but I'm an on the rush kind of girl, plus one of the reasons why I wear glasses is that if I don't, my cheeks would cover up my eyes when I smile. Haha! Dorothy Parker, an American writer and poet once said "Men don't make passes at girls who wear glasses". She might've been talking about me That is so untrue! Well what would she know? Nowadays, glasses are considered cool. If you doubt that, Google "girls with glasses" and you'll stumble upon Tumblr blogs dedicated to exactly that--girls with glasses.

Golden Globes 2013

Awards Season Time again! I love awards season for all the dresses and the trend spotting so let us start through my list shall we? This is my third Golden Globes picks list now by the way :)
One of the biggest trends of the night was red.

Claire Danes in Versace

Claire Danes, who won a Golden Globe in Homeland, also was a winner for me in this outfit. It's simple but striking which is her style, I've noticed.

Style Diaries: Kate Middleton

On the occasion of their first wedding anniversary, I am going to write about some 10 of my favorite Kate Middleton looks.

10) wearing Luisa Spagnoli

There's something about red coats being chic forever.

This look reminds me of something Jackie O. would wear.

9) At Birmingham 

Kate Middleton in something military-inspired.

Best Dressed List: Oscars

I love awards seasons!

Its a chance for me to see (and critique) gorgeous gowns, which I will raaaaarely have the chance to wear. I live vicariously through these celebs.

My ultimo best dressed is Penelope Cruz in Armani Prive.

I love the simplicity of the whole look. To me, its something royalty would wear (like Julie Andrews in Princess Diaries). She doesn't have to try hard; she's already an A-lister.

Grecian Inspired Prom ideas

It's prom season again!

I don't know why but I always link prom with a Grecian theme. Perhaps because I've always wanted to sashay, transformed, into prom a la Taylor Swift in her "You Belong with Me" music video. Prom is believed to be the night where all dreams come true after all. But alas, I learned at an early age that it is not the case. Still, it hasn't stopped me from dreaming of that day when I can wear my Grecian goddess outfit.

I saw this Reem Acra gown on Lyst.com.

Its jeweled straps and the flowy pleated skirt (plus the white color!) take me to the days of the Greecian goddesses.

Although at $5060, it's just too pricey for students.

Model I Love: Karlie Kloss

I was looking through Teen Vogue today. I don't know what happened but I guess I stayed too long on their site and kept clicking on links within the site that I stumbled upon Teen Vogue's interview with Karlie Kloss for her cover which was way back in April 2010. After reading it, I became more of a Karlie Kloss fan than I was before.It's so nice to hear that she is still grounded and not some stuck-up diva. Afterall, she does make a lot of money

It's hard to believe she's only 19 yet she has reached a SUPERMODEL status (Well, there's that 10-year old supermodel already but still). Designers are generous with their praise, saying they haven't seen such grace and poise since the supermodel era. Personally, I like her because not only is she pretty, she has an open (or what we call maamo) face that makes her look approachable. Not only that, she can morph into so many characters and transform into different looks.

Here are some of my favorite Karlie Kloss runway looks and spreads:

Calvin Klein Spring 08
She looks almost elfin here

Rodarte Fall 08
