current obsessions.

jennifer lawrence.
down to earth & extremely hilarious, the new best actress winner is my new girl crush. this video is just a few clips of her funniest moments.

a black jumpsuit.
i've been on the hunt for a black jumpsuit for months now. i'm still on the search but this one caught my eye from the kate spade fall 2013 collection. the perfect amount of sexy & sophisticated. if only we didn't have to wait till fall to grab it - along with the rest of the insanely chic fall collection!

deborah lippmann "girls" nail polish set.
one of my favorite tv shows & one of my favorite brands of nail polish have come together to create four amazing colors. hannah (hapless hunter green), marnie (prim & proper pink), shoshanna (virtuous vivid violet) & jessa (bohemian burgundy). my favorite is shoshanna, perfect for spring & because shoshanna may be one of the funniest characters on tv.

road trip jams.
i'm driving to florida with my two best friends for spring break & i could not be more excited. we have our bags packed, the road trip snacks all ready & of course, hours of playlists made to keep us energized for the 17 hour drive. my pick? beyonce's "end of time." get ready girls!

the party continues.

after the oscars, you wouldn't think there could be anything more fun & glamorous than the awards show itself. however, there is nothing more hollywood then the oscar after-parties. whether it was at the governor's ball, the vanity fair party or elton john's party, the stars were dressed up & ready to drink & dance the night away. here are just some of my favorites from the night!

kate beckinsale in monique lhuillier.
one of my all time favorite fashionistas, the always chic kate beckinsale wore the perfect party dress for an after oscars party. a high pony paired with this tea length black tulle dress with gold beading let everyone know she was here to celebrate.

lily collins in zuhair murad.
sequins, stripes, lace & that open back - stunning! with all these intricate details it could be overwhelming, but lily pulled off this sexy midnight blue dress effortlessly by pairing it with winged eyeliner & sleek hair.

nina dobrev in naeem khan.
wearing one of the top trends for spring, black & white, nina's patterned dress was dramatic & different in the midst of solid dresses. her pulled back hair was another trend seen on celebrities at the parties that night, making it great for dancing & to show off that high neckline & drop earrings.

natalie portman in christian dior.
another celebrity wearing the black & white trend, natalie showed off her sophisticated side. the simple black bow, pulled back chignon & eye catching emerald earrings were elegant & classy, two things natalie always is.

jennifer lawrence in calvin klein.
after walking the red carpet in her over the top mermaid gown, the best actress winner slipped into something more sexy & modern. the perfect metallic shade to match her golden statue, jennifer showed us all how amazing it is to be a oscar winner at 22.

best dressed: oscars.

the red carpet came to a close last night with the biggest show of all - the oscars. there were lots of surprises & fun during the show & the stars surprised us as well in their outfit choices for the night. here are my top red carpet looks to close the red carpet season - and look for my post tomorrow about my favorite oscar after-party looks!

jenna dewan-tatum in rachel roy.
if we all could be so lucky to look this good pregnant, & all be so lucky to be married to channing tatum! jenna was one of the sexiest women on the red carpet last night, bump & all, with her backless black lace gown & pop of color with her opal earrings.

amy adams in oscar de la renta.
nothing more oscar worthy than wearing oscar de la renta! this dusty blue ball gown was so romantic & looked stunning walking down the red carpet. with simple drop diamond earrings & a loose up-do, amy  looked like a true movie star.

jennifer garner in gucci.
in the midst of neutral & blush color dresses, mrs. affleck stood out in this exquisite plum dress with giant ruffles down the back. her soft tousled hair & stunning diamond necklace complimented the dress perfectly, showing the world that this mom of three can still turn up the glam.

jessica chastain in armani prive.
one of the first stars to arrive on the red carpet, jessica still had people talking by the end of the night. looking like a modern day jessica rabbit, jessica's classic old hollywood hair & make-up (love the pop of red lips with her red hair!), were a perfect fit to her perfectly fitted beaded dress.

jennifer lawrence in dior haute couture.
the best actress winner of the night, jennifer made jaws drop when she stepped onto the red carpet. this grown up blush gown was made young by jennifer's long diamond necklace, hung backwards down her back. by also having simple hair & make-up, his award-winning look was age appropriate for this 22 year old super star.

best dressed: grammy's.

the grammy's aren't one of my favorite award shows but last night's show blew me away, both on stage & on the red carpet. my favorite performance definitely went to one of my crushes, mr. justin timberlake. so excited for him to be back in the music scene again. but the red carpet was full of sexy looks, some very close to breaking this year's grammy dress code rules. here are my winners of the night.

rihanna in azzadine alaia.
rihanna last night looked like a grammy goddess. the flowing hair, flawless skin & grecian-like gown stole the red carpet & show.

allison williams in kaufman franco.
she may be a tv star but katy perry's date for the evening fit right in with all the music stars. this dress was the perfect mix of sophistication & glam - it was encrusted in black diamonds!

beyonce in osman.
only beyonce could pull off this geometric print pantsuit. with a sleek ponytail, simple peep-toe heels & a pop of red lip, mrs. carter looked like pure perfection.

kelly rowland in georges chakra couture.
this is what i call a grammy gown! super sexy but still sophisticated, kelly showed off her fit physique in this perfectly placed cutout gown.

katy perry in gucci.
wearing the color of the season, katy looked like 70s glamour (her inspiration was priscilla presley she told the press). the color complimented her pale skin & dark hair, & of course it wouldn't be a katy perry dress without a little va-va voom. hello bombshell!
