it's the freaking catalina wine mixer... i mean the 2011 oscars...

hooray, hooray, hooray. it's the freaking oscars!!!! omg. it's like my super bowl. for reals, i had hor d'oeuvres, wine, cupcakes, champagne. it's like... the best night ever ;) okay, maybe not, but it's pretty genius. all of hollywood celebrating ah-mazing films and ah-mazing fashion. my 2 favorite things in the world. sigh. the fashion was very neutral with very few hot damn messes. the colors of the night, in my expert opinion, were lavender, red, and icy pale shades of white. fashion was kept very low key, minimal... dare i say boring. well, here are the best and the worst. enjoy. 

collective sigh. perfection. ohmylordy. just sheer perfection. michelle williams is like the perfect pixie, fairy, modern day audrey hepburn. now, i don't take comparisons to audrey lightly. at all. she's the queen of all things classy and style. whoa tangent. back to the glorious michelle in a chanel gown, she's just perfect. the gown is simple but so interesting. her icy blonde hair, strong brow, and pink lip. genius. all genius. obviously she's my favorite.

so, meg griffin is a totally hottie. wowzas. mila kunis. holy hot batman. when i first caught a glimpse of her elie saab i was underwhelmed, but once i saw it move as she walked i was sold. the panels of chiffon give way to these panels of sheer lace that are just uber sexy. i love the lack of jewels. she looks like a real, grown up actress. i think it's beautiful.

say you had a terrible, no good, jack ass husband who destroyed your marriage after last years oscars... i'm thinking this is how you say "eff you" to the son-of-a-bitch. sandy bullock is brilliant in this vera wang. i think she looks outstanding. the orange- red color is stunning paired with her pale skin and dark hair. i think she just looks beautiful. personally, i like this better than her winning gown. sorry. don't throw things. she looks ah-mazing.

geez louise, jennifer hudson is a babe. a super hot babe. i am loving the color of this gown. so bold, so sexy. is anyone else surprised that this is a versace... it's so classy. i love the jewels, oh so very much. the hair is a bit wonky, but because she is that hot now... i don't care. you rock jennifer! 

another babe!!! a crazy pregnant babe. natalie portman is stunning and absolutely radiant in her rodarte gown. the color is superb on her skin. i love the tassel earring, but i'm slightly disappointed that they are so matchy. she really does look beautiful. the gown is perfect for her growing belly... hmm... well... truth be told, she looks great, but i feel like i was hoping for more... but she is beautiful and she deserved that oscar!!! she was brilliant. 

people tell me i look like anne hathaway... a lot. but i have to say it's photos like these where i want to tell people you are smoking crack!!! she is stunning. i mean her skin is flawless, her lips and eyes are insanely large, and she's just beautiful!! i absolutely loved this valentino on her. it was slimming and lengthening. she did a brilliant job hosting, i mean, is there anything that she can't do!?!? answer. no. she's super woman in a ball gown. all of her hosting looks rocked my socks. loved the fringey one, the red one, the white corseted one... they were all beautiful. love. annie. hathaway.

hilary swank is rocking this gucci dress. truly. she looks so feminine and sexy. and i think that she has a tendency to look boyish, but this is just decadent and girly. i adore her little up do. it's hard to see how pretty it is from these angles, but i just admire how she seems to try and really go out of her fashion comfort zones. i dig it.

it's hard to say something bad about this monique lhuillier gown. mandy moore looks like such a lady. everything is perfectly put into place. almost too perfectly put into place. i mean, she's 26 this just seems a bit old. i think that the gown is beyond perfect, it's sheer done right. i also adore her makeup. the coral lip is out-of-control... my problem is with the middle part, low bun. hello school marm. and with the 1980's dynasty clip on earring. not cool. a messy updo and a funky earring and boom instant perfect. oh-so very close.

now, i am very rarely a fan of halle berry's fashion, mostly cause she stole a well deserved oscar from nicole kidman... yes, i hold a grudge ;) but this marchesa is delightful. she's a beautiful woman and has a rockin bod, but as my mom said, "get a new hair cut!!!"

holy dance cardio batman. gwyneth paltrow is a goddess. a tall, leggy, blonde, tall goddess with insanely long legs. did i mention that she has perfect legs. ugh. she is really just beautiful. i love her bone straight hair, neutral makeup, and i almost love the dress. the thing that keeps me from just adoring this look is the odd little dropped waist beaded thing. so odd. other than that, this calvin klein looks like liquid metal. love.

nicole kidman is slowly getting her face back. i'm so glad she's easing up on the botox. and she's almost a red head!!!!! hooray!!! i adore her simple ponytail. now, i'm gonna get a ton of crap for this, but i am loving this dior. i know it's odd, but i really like it. the necklace is genius. i want. the pink shoes are a bit much, i like it. i don't know why... whatever. attack. 

so who let the crazy bag lady into the oscars!? what the duck is with scarjo's hair. this d&g is just weird. you are supposed to show up to these things post-breakup looking hot. this is just off. i really can't say i take much good away from this look.

what in the dear sweet lord is going on here!? marisa tomei is a strange one on the red carpet, it's either perfect or painstakingly bad. take a gander what this is!?

my mom liked this. i had to disagree. BIG TIME. what the devil is going on here? this is like austin power fembot bad. what's up with the hair!? it's terrible, right? and the dress, help me out here... it's like a strange waiters uniform. this just did so very little for me. it's a shame 'cause i love me some reese. 

ah cate blanchett. this is a tough one. there is a part of me that loves this givenchy, but the rest of me sorta wants to vomit. i can't figure it out. i like part of the gown the waist and skirt is beautiful, but the strong shoulders are just so runway... i don't know... her hair and makeup look stellar, but i don't know it's like she's wearing a freaking lavender suit of armor.

when i saw this i was like, did jennifer lawrence wear her nightgown to the oscars!?!? and then i was like okay, her hair and makeup are pretty. then i was like, oh lord this is practically the same valentino scarjo wore to the golden globes a few years back!?!?! then she said that calvin klein's francisco costa made it just for her. confused!? me too. i'm just super bored with this. been there, done that scarlett has much bigger boobs. 

you know what? hailee steinfeld is like 14 years old. and ya know what? in this marchesa, that she helped design, she looks 14. i love it. if it were on an adult, we would have problems. it's nice to see a kid dress like a kid. if you make fun of her your an ass.

dear amy adams. i do not like this l'wren scott dress. the shape is weird. feels sorta suffocating. the necklace is way yucky with it. a nice pair of earrings would've worked better. the sleeves are super weird. they should be longer. but amy is going to be walking many, many, many more red carpets so she'll make it up to me.

i love that busy phillips was michelle williams date. the met whilest filming dawson creek. love that. i think she looked pretty fabulous. her earrings are lovely.

helen mirren is one sexy dame. mmmmm. so hot. and i love that she can handle her own when paired with one russell brand. who by the way, i am in love with. i think this is a glorious color on her. and the vivienne westwood fits her perfectly. the bodice is genius. the necklace could be way shorter, what's up with that. but she is a rock star. do as you please helen.

hello boobies!!!!! geez oh petes. that's a lotta tot. she like just had a baby. like literally 15 minutes ago. and are you kidding me. she looks beautiful. my womanly intuition says that she was not comfortable in her skin. but this l'wren scott was beautiful, but something was off with her. i could sense it.

egads! what the duck is happening with this valentino!? i know the prairie thing is in, but dude, i believe it's possible to take a trend too literally, this would totally be that situation. no bueno.

oh dear. melissa leo. melissa. melissa. melissa. oh geez. wow. geez. this is a custom marc boward. and well, the neckline is lovely and her hair/makeup are stunning. annnnnnnd yeah, that's the only nice thing i could say about this look. so bad. well it's a good thing that she is a killer great actress. congrats melissa!

someone got a little too black swan happy. ummmm. this romona keveza is so not good. why is virginia madsen at the oscars... holy crap is it 2004?

helena bonham carter is a crazed lunatic. a genius, fabulous crazed lunatic. she is just brilliant. this colleen atwood costume is just so not great... BUT. but. as far as hbc goes this is mild. her hair is insane, but looks polished. her makeup looks brilliant... professional. i think that this is a small success.

so, there we have it folks! the oscars!!! yay!!!! so, here's the fun part!!! whatcha think!?!? did i get it all right!? or did i get it all wrong!? who was your favorite of the evening? and who missed the mark!?!? go ahead comment, it's fun. and keep reading this week for a chance to enter a super fun giveaway. i mean come on, it's super fun!!!

my temporary humble abode... pt. 2

so, at long last here is the 2nd and final part of my temporary humble abode. the rest of my house is either very messy or empty, so no more house posts until we move ;) currently, we live in a very stock neighborhood in the suburbs, so i try to make every inch of the space livable and interesting, but since we are downsizing in preparation to move to cali the spare rooms are very empty... and don't get me started on my dining room table... why do men walk in the house and immediately throw all of their shit on to the table!!! NO!!!! there is a very messy man cave/ office for all of that nonsense. lord help me if we end up in a studio loft. yikes. i'll have to blog about space saving solutions in a few months. any who.

my comfy, cozy bedroom is probably my favorite room in the house. i LOVE my bed. so comfy and so bright. the bedding is from urban outfitters and i am obsessed! and thank the lord, we finally bought a bed last fall! the double decker bed from CB2 is ah-mazing. it's low like a platform, but still sits off the ground enough for our big dog hammond to sleep underneath. both dressers are from ikea. it's almost perfect. i'm still looking for the perfect thing to hang over our bed. the picture there now is from previous bedding. any interesting ideas on what to put there would be greatly appreciated.

for funsies, i thought i'd let you into my insane closet. it's crazy packed, so i have been trying really hard to only buy things that i am IN LOVE with. quality verses quantity is my motto these days. i'm terrified of the size of my closet in california. yikes. what am i gonna do with all of these shoes!?! haha. 

so there you go, that's my bedroom and closet. do all the stacks of books and cluttered areas make you make you break out in hives!? or do you appreciate my boho-eclectic-shabby-cluttered chic? any good ideas for what to hang over my bed? what about the closet? how do you store your shoe collection? is 25 pairs of jeans too much?!

lady gaga ruins everything...

first off, not even lady gaga could ruin how excited i am for zac brown band!!!! they won their second grammy tonight and i am just beyond thrilled for them!!!! HOORAY!!!

i tried to enjoy the show, but i couldn't get lady gaga arriving in that stupid egg thing... it honestly ruined my night. why?!!?! why, do we let that crazy chick dictate what's original... she's insane. i want so badly to support her because i think it's brilliant all the work she does for gay rights, but i really can't get behind her ridiculous antics, stupid costumes, and her desperate need for attention. she just seems to try way too damn hard and i'm not buying the shit she's selling. she is so freaking absurd that i feel like me continuing to talk and speculate about her motives are exactly what she wants. so i'm done. i'll continue to run on the treadmill to "bad romance" but she has no place on my blog. ugh. uber annoyed.

perhaps i am way out of the loop, but i have no idea who this is...  nicki minaj?!? i have no idea. i do know that this givenchy creation is just as insane as i would expect from the grammy fashion. like whoa. what in the hell is going on inside your head that this seems like the best option!? creative people are nuts. i will say that her body looks banging, but dear sweet jesus... this is a lot of look. lotta look. wow.

hello see through gown!!!! leave it to rihanna to rock a crazy sheer john paul gaultier gown. i sorta dig it. i mean, the fit is beyond perfection, sure it looks ridiculous, but in a fabulously fashion forward sorta way. plus, she's wearing glittery pasties. and that means dedication in my book. i do kinda wish she'd ditch the red hair and go back to the awesome edgy cut with the shaved parts and blonde.

come on folks!?!?! did we learn nothing from heidi and spencer!? if you stop inviting them to big events and stop putting them on the covers of magazines then they disappear! i mean, imagine it, a world without the jersey shore!!!!! iq's all over the world would instantly rise!!! instantly!!! with all of that said this is not the worst snooki has ever looked. in fact this look is, dare i say, mild for her.

 who is this? um, no.

oh dear, dear, dear. monica. this is definitely not my favorite look. the dress is sorta interesting and fashion forward, but the makeup and hair... hmm how do i say this, looks like she should be singing duets with brandy. it looks like the 90's vomited on her head. and i mean she's hot. like super hot, so this is just unacceptable.

now, i love haley williams. love. love. love her. but dear sweet baby jesus. what is this!?!? nothing about this works. not even for the crazy grammys. the sheer tights. the silly bangs. the weird shoes. the pink fluffy stuff. hmmm. it's a good thing she's rad talented cause this is just yuckola. 

 i don't get it. she's beautiful. stunning. but why is she everywhere!? and this kauffman franco gown is not doing it for me. it reminds me of my prom gown in 2000. wow, i'm old. but yeah. this is terrible and the shoes are disgust with this look. a rare occasion where nude shoes just don't work. a strappy bronze or gold sandal would've worked better. her hair and makeup are beautiful, as always. i just don't get her.

oh florence... so i love florence and the machine and i realize that she is a bit of a wacka-doo, so this really isn't nearly as crazy as it could've been. and honestly, i am beyond in love with the back of this givenchy dress. the orange on her skin tone is just perfection. the rest of the dress is just eh. 

how much they hate me? very. kiss girls like katy perry. that was a little pre-review rap. okay. hmm. where to start. her hair and makeup are actually not offensive. i even really like her hair. the top of the dress is okay, but the skirt is just so weird. i know that mr. armani made this for her, but with the wings, this just goes way overboard. i don't think i quite understand her "schtick." she could be beautiful, but it's like she terrified to just be stunning. she doesn't need all of the gimmicks. 

 natasha bedingfield leaves much to be desired in this odd gown. i don't know what bothers me more the sequined/floral mess or the hair!? it all seems too costumey. not a fan.

could someone please explain why eva longoria is EVERYWHERE lately. is desperate houswives even still on television!? i know the post breakup glow is in full affect, but i'm really not loving this ashi studi ensemble. very been there, done that.

holy bananas. what has happened to the front of jordin sparks gown!? this is so middle aged i can barely stand it. too young and too pretty to be wearing this nonsense. and the makeup!? where is it?

so this is weird, right?! pregnant selma blair at the grammys in a muumuu... oooookay. who's she married to? this is beyond strange. i kinda like the dress and the train keeps it from looking ridiculously casual, but overall i'm just confused. 

how hot is heidi klum? answer. oh so very hot. she just looks like a tall, skinny, sexy babe. i mean this dress just drips off of her like liquid gold. i think that klum makes the dress work, on any other lady i might think this is too much. she can definitely pull it off.

ciara's goodies make the boys jump on it. this pucci is hot. ciara is hot. end of story.

now, i'm pretty sure this young lady is doing "the biebs" and that kinda makes me want to puke in my mouth, but i have to say lil' selena gomaz looks ah-mazing. i heart j.mendel and this gown is no exception. absolutely breathtaking.

now, i'm pretty sure this lady is doing "seacrest" and that also makes me want to vomit... but all kidding aside, ms. hough is rocking this malandrino dress. i love the neckline, the ruffles, the colors, the hair. i think it's beautiful. and this is the best i've seen her look ever. love. it. 

ohmyholyfreakinglord. jennifer hudson in versace = perfection. she is a goddess. try to say something bad about this and i will judo chop you in the neck. the end. 

wowzas. kelly osbourne is a hottie. this tadashi shoji is very similar to the marchesa that diane kruger wore to an event in new york last year. so i feel like it's been waaaaay done before and by a fashion icon no less, but honestly she looks so hot that i'm not even going to hold it against her. FIERCE.

i think that my darling love, nicole kidman, looks absolutely stunning. i love this silhouette on her. very reminiscent of her road to oscar in 2003. and her hair is perfection. i really feel like she's starting to understand her botox levels, cause it really looks sooooo much better. she looks fantastic.

ggggeeeezzzzeeee. jenny from the block is looking insanely hot. wow. wow. wow. what can i say bad about this. her body. hot. her hair. hot. her shoes. hot. her makeup. hot. i mean.... what else is there!?!

i am so over her extensions. yawn. 

and to end it, some glee kids. i love both of these looks and dresses. call me crazy, but i think these both work on many levels. dianna agron is rocking the hell out of this vivienne westwood. i mean, so hot. i love her lil' fauxhawk and the gritty rocker makeup. the shoes are the only thing i don't quite understand. a little too matronly with the look. some angry rock and republic spiked heels or some rad sandals would've been better. and naya rivera. holy crap this girls legs are like 2 thousand miles long. bitch. i know this dress looks like it has a tail, but i like it... i do. i love the neckline and the weird skirt. i really do. i know it's not my finest pick. i will say her hair looks a hot damn mess. definitely needs some work. maybe like an ironic holly golightly updo.

okay, so that's the 2011 grammys in a nutshell! what did you think of the fashion? am i spot on? or do you dare disagree? does lady gaga make you wanna punch justin beiber in the face? who were your favorites of the evening? do tell!!!
