And the Oscar goes to...

Well the Super Bowl of fashion was last night- and first off let me just say how much I love Ellen. I think she absolutely stole the show last night as the host. The hubs watched it with me (and he normally hates watching awards shows with me) and he was LOL the entire time. But of course the most important thing that I look forward to is the red carpet. I wish I had reasons to get all glammed up just so I could wear sequins, silk, tulle, etc. Usually I would pick my worst and best dressed of the Oscars but I am proud to say that there is no one that I could pick for worst dressed. Way to go 2014. I think that is the best way to end awards season in my opinion. So I've decided to do the best dressed in the top trends of the red carpet:

Black:

 Red:

White:

Blush with embellished overlay:

Men's white tuxedo jackets:

Honorable mentions:

 Who made your list for best dressed last night?

an eye opening weekend

Well it's been awhile since I've last posted! Sorry for being MIA but A LOT has happened these past two weeks. I've recently just moved into a new condo with the Hubbs, and I've been doing a lot of soul searching in regards to my career. One thing that really made me open my eyes was this past weekend. So it was my cousin's Birthday and I went over there to celebrate along with our other family and friends and I saw a lot of my old friends who I haven't seen in awhile due to work, and basically life getting in the way. As we were all standing around talking and drinking alcohol..talking about whose was getting married or having babies next.. I noticed that how everyone was talking about their jobs and what was going on at work. Did we really get to that age where all we talked about was married lives, babies, and careers? It then hit me on how unhappy I am with my current employment situation, I was working non-stop possibly 60 hours a week and was getting mentally and physically drained from it all and with no recognition-instead I feel that I was being mistreated due to other reasons (which I won't go into right now...) but  I probably couldn't tell you the last time I was actually able to spend time with my husband. I have never been somewhere where I actually hated my job- which thinking it about it on Saturday, I was actually about to burst into tears when I would talk about my job to other people. I believe this was God's way of telling me that I need to step away from working in Retail and to find a new career outlet, or possibly work at a smaller company so I wouldn't be as stressed and drained as I was the last 3 months...

Any hoo.. LOL sorry for my long rant, I've just been struggling with that for the last two weeks and I just needed to let it out.. But today I have a interview at another Retail store (go figure) lol and I've never noticed how hard it is now to dress for interviews (especially in my closet). But here is what I've come up with- Mind you- this store is more laid back/casual so I couldn't dress how I normally would for interviews.

Cardigan: C.wonder | Tank: Gap | Necklace: Charming Charlie | Jeans: Loft | Shoes : Coach

Polar Vortex makes me do crazy things

So here in the District. It's a lovely 13 degrees...whomp whomp. I of course stayed indoors and procrastinated on packing for mine and husband's move to our new condo. But of course, cold weather makes me want to shop so I spent hours today staring at Pintrest and shopping online for furniture and getting inspiration on how should I style my life in 2014. Also, I have been struggling a lot in both my professional and personal life. From my health to my job, I've been in a funk these last few months and I thought blogging again (I tried once when I was still in college-didn't go to well) would help me get out of my funk. 

Anyways, since it is award season (my favorite time of year), the Grammys were last Sunday and here are my top 4 for best and worst dressed.

Best Dressed:

Arianna Grande- now, I am kind of getting tired of her always doing this time of silhouette and hairstyle, but she knows what works for her. I guess this is considered her signature style- she just needs to stop treating the red carpet like its her prom

Guilana Rancic- Now I may be a little bias because I just love and admire her so much. But I love this color on her. She always has a way of being sexy and feminine at the same time

Pink- I don't know if Willow has changed her outlook on her personal style, but I just love it when Pink dresses this way. You can still tell she can kick your ass if she wanted to, but she is becoming more girly and I think it suits her

Taylor Swift- well as annoying as she is, she knows what works for her. She's able to rock a sheath dress and she always looks good in metallics.

Worst Dressed:

Cyndi Lauper-ok, I understand that this is her "signature" but I mean come on Cyndi, can't you lose the cape- you're 60 years old already, You still can rock your own style but not over do it. Its not the 80s anymore.

Sara Barielles-Now, I don't HATE this, but this high low hem is too drastic, it either should've been a cocktail dress for a floor length dress. It kind of reminds me of a dress that Ginner Goodwin wore as Snow White in Once Upon A time- also I'll give her credit for wanting to add a pop of color with the all white, but I don't think she should've been too matchy matchy with her clutch and shoes.

Tia Carrere-What is with the jacket!? It just ruins it. I know the Grammys are a little more casual but then she shouldn't have worn the dress.

Zendaya-I know she's what 18? But come on... it's just wrong on so many levels. I just feel like she's trying too hard to break her disney image
