This freak snowstorm has got me wishing so badly that it would be spring! It's really hard to when you see all the new summer/spring products coming out in stores and what not. Reading all these different blogs where it's warm and sunny, well...not this one! One thing that I find super annoying is that I still can't wear flats or any lighter clothes outside because its so cold! This is what I did while praying that it would finally be warm!
I'm pretty sure those heels are what dreams are of...
I also cannot get over how badly I want a NARS lipgloss or blush, so that's included too!

Oscar Picks for Best Dressed 2011
I picked my favourites based on my initial reactions to the dresses (and celebrities) and originality of the gown. I found it all too easy to just keep on looking at the dresses and liking them all but I got it narrowed down. (although the winner was hands down for me) I hope you like my picks!
5. Jennifer Hudson
When I saw her at first I was completely shocked! Not just because of the all the weight that she lost (which congratulations to her) but because she looks amazing! Actually drop dead gorgeous. It's such a rich bright colour and nothing could be a better pick for her. (Versace)
4. Natalie Portman
Okay I have to admit, I adore Natalie Portman. If I could have her eyebrows I'd be a happy girl (I know weird, but seriously they are perfect). Despite being super cute all the time I found that the way she dresses her pregnancy is really subtle, and I like that. All too often you see pregnant celebrities with the focus of their dress on their baby bellies but not Ms. Portman. Super elegant, love her, loved black swan and was SO happy she won! I thought it was sweet of her to wear the designer(s) that did the most of the costumes for Black Swan (Rodarte - Kate and Laura Mulleavy).
3. Mila Kunis
I loved her dress, I have to admit that I would never be daring enough to wear it myself but! it was quite sexy without being trashy. I love this colour on her as well, it was quite a lovely pick for her. The lace throughout the dress sets it apart from other ball gowns and creates dimension within the gown which really stood out to me. (Elie Saab)
2. Sandra Bullock
I loved her introduction for Best Actor and I really think that she could host the next Oscars. She looked amazing last night! I feel so inspired every time I see her on T.V. and I'm pretty that's all because of Miss Congeniality and what she's been through in the past year. The hair and makeup were flawless and she looked killer, a well deserved second. (Vera Wang)
1. Cate Blanchett
oh my goodness, this dress literally made me gasp when I was watching the oscars. I really don't think I've been more fascinated with a dress before, it is simply gorgeous. This is saying a lot too because Cate Blanchett used to scare me a bit because of Lord of the Rings. Benjamin Button did not help either which means really she's a great actress and I just can't get over her sometimes freakier roles. Either way! This dress is beautiful and Cate Blanchett looks gorgeous (no longer terrifying) and I can't stop staring at it. The architecture in this dress is amazing, the cut-out in the center and the shoulders are classy and well executed. The beading in the dress is so feminine and beautiful. This is definitely an original and something I feel I haven't seen before. Even my father yelled at everyone in our house to come look at this dress! (Givenchy)
Honorable Mentions:
Reese Witherspoon
Scarlett Johansson

Nicole Richie's Wedding Dress
(Well one of them at least!)
In case you didn't know Nicole Richie married Joel Madden this past Saturday! I found this picture of her in one of her wedding dresses (there were three!)
This dress is designed by Marchesa and it is gorgeous! Marchesa has definitely been in the fashion news more and they showed an amazing collection for s/s 2011, they are a huge designer to look out for.
I really like this dress because it changed my mind about white lace. Lace I always find is tricky, only certain people can pull it off. Black lace to me, is sexy almost lingerie-ish so it's more a night time or going out look. White lace to me leans on Madonna 80s look, as if you only needed a string of pearls and some cut off gloves to be her. This dress though, just made me ooooh and awe. I love the lace and the long sleeves! A lot of wedding designers are leaning away from strapless dresses because they are bored of it (aka Vera Wang) with Kate Middleton's wedding, the predictions are that she would go for lace and long sleeve, so it's kinda cool to see that connection right here. The fullness of the bottom I find is on the right side of theatrical; that it works. This is really elegant dress it worked perfectly for her. Nicole Richie is increasingly becoming a style icon, I think this is just one more positive point to her. I love the hair and makeup too!
Anyways this blog was not super important, just wanted to share a gorgeous dress with you!

Post-Hogwarts
After seeing the new Harry Potter this weekend, I can hardly think of anything else! When the first one came out (philosopher's stone) I never really thought much of Emma Watson, I was pulled more towards Luna Lovegood as an inspirational character but after seeing Deathly Hallows, I have to change my mind. I am totally in love with Emma Watson, I love her look! I was reading in an interview with her that uses fashion as a rebellion because from playing Hermoine Grainger she was never allowed to looked glamorous, but now she can. The first move was definitely chopping off all her hair!
When reading through various fashion sites, I found this article about Emma Watson debuting a Burberry trench that was made just for her, least to say it's to die for. I absolutely love this shot and wanted to share it with all you so we can mutually drool over it. Enjoy!
On another note, I love her poppy! I'm assuming it's the British version, not too sure why they look different then the ones here but I love it none the less!

End of Fall!
Yes, It's getting to the end of fall and I'm a little sad! I find so much inspiration in the fall, with the weather and the colours of the leaves, just everything around me! I do love winter as well, but fall has a lot more to offer, it's more rich and romantic.
I made this set because often times in the fall, I don't feel paricularly galmourous, so I wanted to change that! This outfit idea came to me because I'm dying for a white dress and I thought of how I would wear it, I absolutely love this outfit. Cranberry red and white are one of my favourite colour combinations. I love mixing up what's traditionally glamourous with a more rugged piece, like the dress which dainty, with a toque, I live for those pairings! I love the nail polish as well, I almost bought that one but found that it was simliar to OPI Ink (which I have), but now I'm thinking I may have to go purchase it so I can make this outfit on my own. Enjoy!
