HAPPY (OSCAR) WEEKEND!


It only happens once a year! It's Oscar weekend! As you all can tell by now, I love awards season and the Academy Awards are, of course, my favorite. I love this picture of Grace Kelly and Audrey Hepburn backstage at the 1956 Academy Awards. What beautiful ladies! I'll be watching this year's show from a friend's house. Any plans for you all? (You must check out this DIY Oscar party from Twig & Thistle. It's so adorable - lots of inspiration!) Have you all seen any of the nominated films? I had big plans to attempt to see all of them this year before Sunday, but I just couldn't squeeze them all in. I'm hoping The Help takes home a few awards, as well as Midnight in Paris for Writing (Original Screenplay). As much as I adore Meryl Streep, I would really like to Michelle Williams go home with the Oscar for Best Actress. Speaking of Michelle Williams, any predictions on her Oscar gown? She's always a red carpet favorite of mine, and her 2006 Oscar dress is still one of my all-time favorites. There's lots of red carpet fashion to look forward to! Happy Weekend!

I cannot wait to watch!!! I Michelle Williams' Chanel dress last year was gorge but she obviously needs something a little less understated since she's nominated. I also am really excited to see what Rooney Mara wears!! Maybe Givenchy? Who knows!! Have a good weekend!! xoxo

I hope Michelle wins, too, and that 2006 marigold dress was unbelievable. She is flawless. Happy Oscar weekend!

I didn't get a chance to see many of the films up for awards but despite that I can't imagine that half of them hold a candle to the Artist! I'll be rooting for them to sweep it tonight :) And Midnight in Paris of course...
