Get the Red Carpet Look
Mar 5th
I’m still in awe over the dresses from this year’s Oscars. There really weren’t any looks that I didn’t love or thought to be distasteful (even Lady Gaga surprisingly rose to the occasion). What really keeps me watching these red carpet events is the confidence that these women ooze. I know, I know. They are all A-list celebrities, but you have to remember that with the right dress and accessories you can feel like a celebrity too. With that being said, after watching the Oscars there are a few looks that would work perfectly as inspiration for pieces in our own closets.
The Cape - As seen on Kate Hudson, a cape is an accessory that can amp up a red carpet look. For us, a cape of more substantial material can do the same as an everyday look. With jeans and a t-shirt or dressed up with skinny pants and an oversized hat, the cape can take your look to a whole other level. How chic does a cape look just draped every so slightly onto the shoulders?
The Lace LBD - Who doesn’t love a little black dress? Oh wait, no one. It is the staple piece that we all already have in our closets (if you don’t, then you got to get one - life changing!) because it makes women feel like a powerhouse. So, why not add sophisticated lace to your LBD? Let’s take Diane Kruger’s Valentino frock. What is so prefect about this dress is that you’re showing skin and totally covered up all at the same time. How provocative is that?
The Flirty Skirt - I couldn’t write a blog post about the Oscars and not include Lupita Nyong’o. Her custom Prada gown was straight out of a fairy tale. How fun would it be to twirl in a flowy skirt until you were dizzy, like when you were a kid? That’s what her dress makes me want to do. Off the red carpet, a long or short flirty skirt is all you need to feel like a princess.
I am definitely going to be on the hunt for these pieces after watching the Oscars! These pieces can transitional your wardrobe and make you feel like a celebrity. Don’t take my word for it, just look at how amazing these ladies look!

The Oscars: Our Style Nominations
Mar 2nd
It’s safe to say we’re obsessed with awards shows. There’s so many breathtaking gowns we could only dream of wearing, by all of our favorite designers. After the splash the stars made at this years Grammys and Golden Globes, we can not wait to see what they’ve got planned for the Oscars. Can’t blame us for having high expectations! Here’s whose looks we can’t wait to see on the red carpet next week.
Lupita Nyong’o
This girl killed it at the Golden Globes in her red hot cape, and we’re sure the whole world can’t wait to see if she’ll knock it out of the park again. So far she’s made a name for herself by taking a daredevil style and making it oh so chic. Oh and for her movie 12 years a slave… Good luck Lupita!
Jennifer Lawrence
Sorry to forever associate her with Katniss, but Jennifer Lawrence really is the girl on fire. As one of the best dressed at last years Oscars, we have faith she’ll defend her sense of style. Last year her fairytale wedding gown-like dress had us all swooning, but we wouldn’t mind seeing her in something more edgy this time around. Maybe a tasteful and elegant crop top paired with a tea length skirt!
Amy Adams
Always the epitome of fresh and sweet style, we love Amy’s looks. As this girl has trouble NOT making the best dressed list, we can’t wait to see what stunning gown she’ll grace us with this year. With all of the pastels that rocked the runway at New York Fashion Week, we would love to see a soft hue on Amy. Her flawless complexion is begging for it! Come on lavender!
Sandra Bullock
The word “class” doesn’t even begin to describe Sandra Bullock as an individual, even her style always radiates effortless sophistication. Her Elie Saab gown last year was perfection, and we wouldn’t complain seeing her in a similar style this year as well. If anyone can pull of repeating a style, its her.
Good luck to all the stars, for your nominations and your gown of choice!
