Sizzling hot Kylie!

I can't tell which is more sizzling... Kylie or that intricate lace dress!

Love them heels!

I just saw this pic of Alessandria here and I just had to share it

LOVE the plunging Sally LaPointe SS14 playsuit.

 And I super love these Impera laser-cut Christian Louboutin pumps

Ok I can die now.

Oscars Red Carpet: Hit or Miss?

Heyyooo everyone! 

I'm sure the whole world is buzzing about the Oscars (and will be for the rest of the week).

Now I'll be totally honest. I was working while the Oscars were going on so I never saw the whole show. Only bits and pieces here and there off the internet. But that's not going to stop me from talking about the dresses now, would it? :)

I noticed a lot of ice queen styled gowns this year... very nude off-white with beads or embroidery with only a splash of bright solids here and there.

Anyways, here you go!

Hits

 Cate in Armani Prive. I seriously love this. Why? It reminds me of a very mature Britney - Toxic kinda outfit. Sexy but oh-so-feminine.

Jarod oh Jarod. I don't know how much hotter you can look but man... I love people who dare to go all out and wear white. It's just so daring. What if you accidentally get something smeared or splashed on it? But he didn't!!!

Oh, and did you see how he thanked his mom? Major love.

Shining, shimmering, splendid! I love Jennifer's 1920s inspired Oscar de la Renta. Okay fine I don't know if it's really 1920s inspired but seriously.... glittery silver tassels all over your dress swaying around as you walk. You can't feel more princess-y than this (except with a major tulle dress).

Ahhh the new princess of Hollywood - Jennifer Lawrence. I really love how beautifully normal she looks and acts. Like it makes me believe that I too will grace the Oscars one day. And even if I do trip, it's okay :) we're all human, no?

This Dior Couture peplum is beautiful, but a teensy bit safe I think. 

Atelier Versace on Kate Hudson. I don't know what I love most about this - the plunging neckline, the delicate shoulder cape thingie or the intricate beading. 

 Kelly + Badgley = HIT! 

I love how Kelly is blooming into a gorgeous swan. Gone are her younger days of ansty ill-fitted clothes and hair color that didn't make sense. She looks absolutely ravishing here. 

 One of my hit/miss this year was really Lady Gaga. It's a major HIT for me that she was there like a regular celeb. No quirky clothes, meat hanging off her head or weird baubles or scary high heels with no heels. 

She actually reminds me of an Ice Queen, don't you think?

Unfortunately this is also a bit of a MISS for me because... I don't know... it's Lady Gaga, you know what I mean? Okay fine, I'm contradicting myself. I can't tell if I love it or I'm missing her flamboyance.

Lupita's baby powdery blue Prada gown caused a major buzz in town and it's not hard to see why. It's so feminine, ethereal, beautiful, elegant, I'm running out of adjectives here!

But seriously. I love how her skin tone juxtaposes against the delicate fabric and color. BIG HIT!!!

 Aussie! Aussie! Aussie! Mannnn... I tell you, Portia can make pretty much anything look sexy. I love the peek-a-boo action going on with this Naeem Khan floral halter neck dress. And I keep staring because I think I see something (oh admit it, you are too), but I don't.

 She was an entry on my blogpost for the Golden Globes. I will repeat myself here because I still cannot believe that this woman is 50! I mean, my mom is 55 and not that my mom's not gorgeous... just that Sandy seems to be defying laws of nature with this beeyootiful Alexander McQueen gown.

 

Definitely one of the best dressed couples in town! Not really sure what Will is wearing but Jada's Versace chiffon gown is really pretty. I heard they made it just for her *jelly*

Okay this is a bit more of a miss than a hit (that's why I left it till the end of my hits). I like how Christian and Sibi were matched in black for this, and I love how his suit isn't the conventional black and white. But really, a bit too safe. Still a hot couple anyways :)

Misses

 Ok I totally heart Elsa and Chris and I love the fact that that instead of being home in her jammies resting (while carrying twins), Elsa decided to come and show the world how gorgeous a pregnant woman is. Unfortunately I'll have to say miss for this because that Elie Saab dress is totally unflattering. I mean, I love the detail, I love the teal color and I love how it totally complements her eyes. 

I have no words. Seriously.

I don't know what's worse, that she wore this silk satin-y off shoulder top with pants or that she had her hair streaked cobalt blue to match the outfit. All I'm saying is that if Meryl Streep or Glenn Close can look show-stopping (in a positive way) why couldn't you, Liza?

So yeah there you go :)

What were your hits and misses?

Elie Saab SS14

Ok. I'm a sucker for romantic girly dresses. If you've been following my blog, you would've seen romantic wedding gowns, mermaid/fishtail dresses and Marchesa.

Anyways Elie Saab has just released his Spring/Summer 2014 Couture collection (which you can view here) and HOMAIGAWDDD... it's an ethereal fairytale garden with splashes of romance and happily ever after.

Here are some of my favorites :)

 Pockets in dresses! Brilliant!

 

 Can someone spell ethereal goddess? 

Can't say the same for her expression though.

Ahhhh so pretty

I love how this is so girly elegant

Greek goddesses aren't afraid to show off a little leg

Love the juxtaposition of dark and girly florals

OMG SUPER LOVE!!! I think she looks like a deadly nightshade about to bloom. 

Delicate yet dangerous. 

But you can't help but want to get closer to it.

Black's always a timeless color. 

I love the hemline embellishment. 

Gorgeous. Simply gorgeous.

 

The man himself, Elie Saab. Thank you so much for this gorgeous collection!!!

Dreamy wedding dresses

Okay, I confess... I didn't go scouring the internet for these gorgeous dresses... rather I was inspired by this Buzzfeed post so much so that I thought that I'd repost it with my favourite ones :)

A intricately gorgeous back
From onetowed

Super dainty low-backed dress with an oh-so-soft layered dress
From Wanda Borges

I super love how delicate the straps are and how layered the dress is. Love love love.
From jlmcouture

This is definitely my favorite of the bunch. I love the Grecian
goddess look and it looks airy enough for tropical weathers!
From Shareen Vintage

In case you haven't noticed, I have this thing for dresses that
are delicate and have a lot of layers. But look! Oh so pretty!
Also from jlmcouture

Ok nothing is sexier than a lace-up back, now is there?
From weddbook

Ok not too crazy about the bolero but I do love how
the hemline reaches slightly around the ankles.
From Stephanie Allin

Classic heart shaped top, full skirt and pockets? SOLD!!!
From La Sposa

Butterflies!!! 'Nuff sed :)
From Elizabeth Fillmore Bridal

I love the sequins! The sparkliness it adds just gives it a
more magical kind of feel. Oh and it has pockets!
From the one and only Vera Wang

Love that China (the ceramics, not the country)
peeking out from the bottom of the hemlines
From jasminestar

I love how showing of some leg makes this
dress look even more elegant
From Paolo Sebastian

So what do you think?

Golden Globe garb!

I don't know about you but I really love awards season because of all the dresses.

Now I'm no fashionista and I do have pretty traditional/regular tastes so nothing too out there....

Anyways here are some of my favorite ones for the Golden Globes :)

 Jenna Dewan-Tatum looks absolutely gorgeous in this fish-tail dress. I love how the black bits help accentuate her figure and makes the dress look so delicate.

I do not believe that this woman is 50. Seriously? Look at that skin! *sigh*

Oh I LOVE how Sarah Hyland's dress looks so proper and demure up front... and it's all cool and sexy from the back!

Okay it took me a while to figure out what the pink prints were... my first few guesses were a bunch of umbrellas, then some flamingoes. But aww look at that glow!

I'm more in love with her look than her dress.

Okay fine her dress does kinda blend in with the red carpet but doesn't she just look super sizzling hot?

The Ice Queen doing what she does best. Smoulder people with her stare.

 

Okay, I'm not like a major fan of Hayden but I think she looks absolutely demure here. I love how the asymmetrical pattern on her dress forces you to look at her. Gorgeous.

Giuliana looking radiant as always. I love major tulle dresses. Makes me feel like some princess or ballerina. 

Okay I'm not sure who she is but she does remind me of Winona Ryder here with that dark brown bob, porcelain skin and a tinge of rouge. 

Update: Her name is Michelle Dockery. Still doesn't ring a bell for me. I have to google her up but she looks gorgeous and that's all I care for this post :P

Bombshell Sofia Vergara doesn't have to do much but I must say I am very intrigued by how her statement necklace complements her simple black dress.

Love love love it! *runs out to get some statement necklaces a pronto!*

Zosia Mamet's got this lovely floral dress thingie that reminds me of Jenna Dewan-Tatum's. I think I like Jenna's more but I would probably be able to pull this one off better :(

Yeah and these are my two least favorites. And the only reason why I'd even put them in here because usually love and agree with their styles

 Drew... seriously, what were you thinking?

Whomsoever responsible for this dress, should be put on probation. There's a thin line between simple sophistication and lazy. I call this lazy.

And I'm out!
