Oscars 2015 Best Dressed

Last night was beautiful affair filled with laughter, tears, inspiration, and incredible style! I loved so many looks last night, it was difficult to choose just a few! I loved seeing the pale color trend, it was evident that pastels were the winning fashion choice. Granted, my list has more color variety, but I still love the pastel trend right now! I picked these lovely ladies because they emanated fashion and class and for that I am in awe! I didn't want to do a worst dressed, because everyone looked stunning last night and after all, fashion is personal, so even if I didn't personally love someone's look it was still fabulous! 

What did you think about last nights fashion?

Cate Blanchett: Stunning and effortless! This beautiful form fitting John Galliano gown is topped off perfectly with a  beautiful Tiffany and Co. statement necklace in a fierce turquoise! She wasn't even nominated, but I'm sure she'll take comfort in making my best dressed list! hah

Anna Kendrick: So beautiful in this Thakoon dress! I love this color, the shape and the subtle accessory built in to the dress! All of this dress paired with a simple swept back hair is just Oscar perfection! 

Emma Stone: As if she could go wrong! She has been on fire this award season. This gold Elie Saaub stunner is stylish, modest, and pairs perfectly with her ruby locks! 

Lupita Nyong'o: This Calvin Klein dress has 6,000 pearls on it! That's incredible! I love that she took a subtle risk this year. This dress without the pearl feature would still be pretty, but kind of boring. I love how many of the women last night wore their accessories as part of their dress not in addition to! 

Rosamund Pike: This fierce red Givenchy dress is absolutely gorgeous! She looks amazing and yet again an understated look with hair, make-up, and accessories really worked for the red carpet! PS she had a baby in December!! She looks amazing!

Casting call: Mad Men

The best things in life may be free, but the second best things in life are on sale! This lovely mod color blocked dress was on super clearance at Old Navy. It was on clearance for $19, but since it was an online exclusive I got it for half off of that!! Yay! I decided to pair it with all mod accessories from the floral necklace to booties. Consider me the next head liner in the final season of Mad Men, oh Don I'm coming for ya!

Happy Valentines Day! xo

Well it's that infamous day! May all who have a special someone relish in candy and flowers, while single gals around the world band together for the aptly coined 'galentines day' indulging in romantic movies and endless glasses of wine! I like this "holiday" because if anything it's a nice opportunity to squeeze a date night in to an otherwise hectic schedule. Aaron and I decided to go all out last weekend to avoid the crazy restaurant situation. We lavished in a super delicious meal at Sullivans. I was in absolute heaven, with oysters, creamed spinach, and dry aged steak! Soo yummy. Anywho, I rocked this look for our date. It's pretty simple and since it wasn't actually Valentines day I didn't want to look too dressed up, so I threw on this pink slouchy cardigan! All in all, I had a wonderful pseudo Valentines day. Hope you all do too!

Pinspired: All over black

Today's PINspired look is this super chic all black look. I love the way she utilized some leather to really make the look pop! I opted to bring my statement jewelry to my ears, featuring my LeTote lovelies. I am a huge fan of monochromatic looks, I think they work so well for a ton of different events and occasions. I try to bring in some sort of texture or tone to break it up a bit, such as my fun earrings. I am in love with her quilted version of the skirt, but c'est la vie, this is pINSPIRATION, not magical Pinterest closet! Which, why hasn't anyone come up with that yet?

Blazer Chic

I'm so excited for this look! It's super simple yet chic. There's nothing quite like the look of a great blazer, especially in white! It's such a simple addition to an outfit, but really adds a bit of classic style. Although I am a fan of all over neutral looks, I love to add a subtle pop of color, hence the fun pink heels. Since the look is pretty sleek, I wanted to top it off with a pulled back hair-do. I love twists around the face, because it makes the look seem like a french twist, but modern. Overall, I really love this look and it's perfect for many occasions.
