Academy Awards 2013: Best Dressed (& WTF)

Alright kids... I've been silent for way too long. And for that, I apologize. Sometimes life gets in the way of blogging. But fortunately, life can't get in the way of The Academy Awards. Clearly I have to share my best dressed (& WTF moment) of the evening. 

Without further adieu, I give you my best dressed...

Sandra Bullock in Elie Saab (minus the evening bag)

Naomi Watts in Armani Prive

 Charlize Theron in Dior

 Kerry Washington in Miu Miu

 Amy Adams in Oscar De La Renta

Jessica Chastain in Armani Prive

Zoe Saldana in Alexis Mabille Couture

. . .

I have a feeling I am going to get a lot of crap for this. But I am really on the fence with Jennifer Lawrence in Dior Couture. I thought she looked beautiful, but I don't know... The dress just didn't really do much for me. The silhouette was gorgeous, but something was off. 

 What did you think of Jennifer Lawrence's dress? 

. . .

And the biggest WTF moment of the evening goes to.... 

This bitch.

1. Why were you at the Oscars & who the hell let you on the red carpet?

2. Could you be any more inappropriate? Seriously... Have some freakin' class. You look like a cheap escort for a D list actor.   

. . .

Who were your red carpet favorites?

. . .

And for those of you, who like me, actually care about the awards... Here is the complete list of this year's Oscar winners.

Street Style: NYFW Fall 2013

I seriously cannot get enough of the street style! It's what I look forward to most during Fashion Week. I apologize for the photo overload, but it's pretty much impossible to narrow down my favorites.

P.S. How amazing is that clear Shourouk bag (last photo)?! I need it in my life STAT.

Tuna Fish Find: Conair 1" Shine-Infused Titanium Ceramic Styling Wand

Ladies and (maybe some) gentleman, I'd like you to meet my new best friend - the Conair 1" Shine-Infused Titanium Ceramic Styling Wand.  This magic wand is life. The second I held this magical wand I felt like Harry Potter in Ollivander's Wand Shop. It was meant to be!

To those that know me, it's no secret that I am completely challenged when it comes to my hair. The only thing I can confidently do is flat iron it straight. But not any more... I am now a master of the styling wand. No joke, this thing is easier than making a peanut butter & jelly sandwich. All you do is separate your hair into 1" sections, like you would to flat iron your hair. Wrap each 1" section around the wand. Hold it there for 10 seconds. And voila! You are now a styling wand master!

I was so proud of myself for that I clearly had to document my victory.

I give the Conair 1" Shine-Infused Titanium Ceramic Styling Wand two very enthusiastic thumbs up! When it comes to hair irons & styling products I typically go for the more expensive brands. But let me tell you. This wand is no joke.  And for only $19.99... This baby will rock your socks off! 

I highly recommend it.
