Wedding Wednesday

maroonwedding1Spring is just around the corner and I’m starting to be drawn towards brighter colors. For example, I’m wearing bright coral pants today. But, I came across this picture last week and I was obsessed with how the bride’s maroon bouquet matches the groom’s maroon shoes perfectly. If you have known me for even like 5 minutes, you probably know I love when things match perfectly. So, I just couldn’t resist designing a vision board based off of this picture. And since we are technically still in winter, I figured this darker color is relevant and I could squeeze it in quickly before spring is officially here! Here is what I came up with:

1.  Caroline is totes annoyed that Taylor Swift keeps copying her hair cuts.  The girls woke up to this text from Caroline this morning with this picture… “Can she stop copying me!  When I cut my bangs… she got them cut.  When I chopped my hair… she chopped hers.”  She’s totes joking, people.  We don’t take ourselves that seriously!  I totes used totes in this post.

2.  Em got a new car last week!  I asked her to send me a picture and she sent me this!  It’s her little tradition to take a picture of her standing on top of the roof of her new car!

3.  Serious business.  It rained in LA (off and on) for 3 days in a row last week.  I think we are all still recovering from the “craziness”.  LA can’t handle rain.  Hikes were cancelled, dinner plans were cancelled, people didn’t go to the gym because they didn’t want to drive in the rain, people had to buy umbrellas that they will never use again, hair got wet, the Oscars Red Carpet was almost ruined by the rain… I mean it was crazy.

4.  Jimmy Fallon is really nailing it with the Tonight Show.  I actually don’t watch it but Emily mentioned it to me the other day, so I thought I would pass it along to you guys.  I always catch clips of it and love it!  Maybe he should host the Oscars next year??

5.  We are in the final countdown for our Europe trip to visit our little Cezzie!!  One week and a day to go!  Caroline what do you need from the United States of America?  Peanut Butter, Peanut Butter M&M’s, Ice??  Tell me now!  I am definitely going to make a Target run sometime before I leave.

6.  That’s it.  I think we are all on the Same Page now.  Good.  I will get back to you if I think of anything else! XO

Oscars Best Dressed

emily_bestdressedTo me, Lupita was the Oscars.  She was so genuine and so thoughtful that you couldn’t help but fall for her.  I don’t know about you, but I was in tears!  Her fashion performance this award season has been stellar so I knew she wasn’t going to disappoint.  This pretty powder blue gown stood out on her beautiful dark skin.  But it might have been her smile that completed this look.

Cate Blanchett.  You are a movie star.  Her whole look was perfectly and carefully curated – her stylist deserves a raise!  I especially loved how her earrings matched the texture on the dress!

I don’t normally love what Gulianna wears but tonight was the exception.  I loved how she kept it simple with the hair and jewels so not to take away from the dress. Out of all the dresses, I think this is the dress that I would pick to wear myself.  I love the color!

Oh the Oscars!  I had such a hard time picking my Best Dressed!  How could you not pick Lupita and Cate?!
Emily put it perfectly.  Lupita was truly magical last night.  And she was right.. “You’re never fully dressed without a smile!”.  You can’t deny that she felt the magic last night and it truly showed!  She deserved it.  Beautiful inside and out.  She looked like Cinderella… “No matter where you’re from your dreams are valid!”
Cate was amazing, elegant, poised, regal, divine, humble last night… she stunned on the red carpet too.  Her earrings were perfect!  They looked like opals.  Totally unique.  Loved.  (I think her dress most looked like the dress I picked!  Just saying.)
I loved Emma Watson’s look too!  I know not many will agree with me on this one.  Her look really went unnoticed last night but I think it really was cool (like her Golden Globes look).  I would have loved to have seen a cool necklace or bracelet to tie the look together but I still loved the simplicity of the dress.
I had a really hard time picking (Emma, Angelina and Kate tied for third for me!)… I feel badly not including them.  So my Very Honorable Mention goes to Angelina Jolie and Kate Hudson.

Sandra Bullock looked absolutely beautiful last night. The reason I gave her my number one spot is because there isn’t one thing I would change about her look. The bracelet and earrings compliment each other well. Her hair was elegantly swept to the side opposite of the draping on her dress. She had matching navy blue nails. I really think she just nailed this look.
Lupita looked wonderful last night too. I have to agree with everything my sisters said. She just radiates joy and you can’t help but smile when you look at her. The only thing I wasn’t crazy about was the random gold snake bracelet she wore, which clashed with her earrings, headband, and the sweet look she was going for. I give her a 99%. And she most definitely wins the BEST DRESSED OVERALL for this entire award show season. She shined on every single red carpet. That girl knows what she is doing (or at least her stylist does) and I love that she wears so much color. She is such an inspiration to so many people and I am so happy for her and her win.
And just like my sisters said, Cate Blanchett looked stunning as well. The earrings, the dress, the makeup. The only thing I wasn’t crazy about was how her hair was down. It was just a little too busy for me. I think I would have liked to see her hair half up half down instead. But, other than that I adored her look just as much as I adored her performance in Blue Jasmine.
We are so sad award season is over! But, we are already looking forward to next season (especially Caroline who will be able to watch the entire program from beginning to end instead of only being able to watch the highlights because she is abroad)!
