oh Miu Miu

What I wouldn't give to put these little swallow numbers on my feet and prance, yes prance, around... well pretty much EVERYWHERE.  They're as if Hitchcock met Marie Antoinette.  *sigh*

Oscar Style

Unfortunately I will not be watching the Academy Awards tonight, other responsibilities call.
The boyfriend and I saw Casablanca for valentine's day at this theatre in PA that was built in 1903, they had a really cute ballot box where we were able to cast our Oscar votes.  We had different opinions on a couple, it will be interesting to see who "wins".  Cinematography aside Oscar night is all about the fashion, and here are some of my favorite gowns from the past couple of years.

I love Penelope Cruz in this Ralph Lauren dress from the 74th Academy Awards.  Open back, cascading sequin train.. let's face it, she is stunning.  Her Oscar dress from last year was jaw dropping as well. Vintage Balmain... *swoon*

Maggie Gyllenhaal is exuding Hollywood glamour in this Proenza Schouler dress at the 79th Academy.

Love the color, the one shouldered top and the banded waist.  It's fitted and it's perfection.

And the all time favorite...

Michelle WIlliams. First of all, who said blondes shouldn't wear yellow?!? That person was clearly mistaken.  She is GORGEOUS in this canary yellow Vera Wang vintage inspired dress.  Everything from the done but undone hair to the jewelry selection to the makeup is sheer perfection.  Love Love Love her.

greetings from California

I've been in LA for almost a week, and I've another week to go until I am back on the east coast and sleeping in my own bed.  It's a lovely Spring day and I am off to explore southern CA and hopefully find that elusive motherload.  One of the places on today's itinerary supplies a lot of the set and costuming for Mad Men.  E X C I T E D!  I'm sure it will be out of the price range for store shopping, but I'm ok with drooling and maybe picking up some things for me :)

More to come.  Enjoy your Saturday, and buck up east coasters Spring is well on it's way!
