Oscar Fashion 2014

Red Carpet fashion at the Oscars is always a visual treat.  The anticipation of "what will they wear" never gets old!  So let's take a look at some of the most buzzworthy looks of the evening.  Be sure and tune-in to Nashville's News Channel 2 WKRN in the morning to hear some of my comments on the looks of the evening.  


Jared Leto: Several men rocked the white jacket this year, and my favorite was definitely the always-stylish Jared Leto. He took it a step further by adding the red silk bowtie and shimmering buttons, subtle but a very nice touch. 


Lupita Nyong'o: All eyes were on Lupita Nyong'o after her recent fashion hits, particularly the caped red Ralph Lauren dress.  For the Oscars, a gorgeous blue Prada gown was made for her and it was effortlessly glamorous with a nod to old Hollywood with the pleats and simple lines.


Charlize Theron: This black Christian Dior dress is a great look. The interesting lines at the bust and the element of sheer on the lower half are both gorgeous details.



Sandra Bullock: The gathering on this Alexander McQueen gown is perfection, complementing Sandra's body perfectly and the deep color works very well with her hair and makeup, making those eyes really pop. It was a stunning gown without being overpowering.



Kristin Chenoweth: The deco-inspired gold Cavalli dress was a perfect choice, sparkly and patterned all over with a very structured top. You could tell she enjoyed wearing it and it matched her dazzling personality very well.



My least favorite was Amy Adams' tuxedo-inspired Gucci. In truth, it is a wonderful dress, but I expected more for this red carpet from her. The Oscars is a great place to go big and to take risks. It felt very safe and too simple, especially for someone with a body and personality as great as Amy. Making a bigger statement with hair or jewelry would have helped elevate this look.

Summer Favorites

Vacationing at the beach this week has me thinking... what are some of my favorite Summer things out there now to share with you all?  Four immediately come to mind.

 1) The Perfect Scent
From Anthropologie, this candle is quite possibly the world's best. $28


2) Affordable Accessories
Summer is the time of year when accessories need to be cheap!  Traveling and being outdoors opens jewelry up to the elements and the risks of being lost or damaged, so inexpensive is key.  Try these bracelets (and many more) from ASOS, all under $20.  



3) Over-The-Top Heels
Ladies, don't be scared to push the limits with your footwear.  Keep the outfit simple, then shake your tailfeather (quite literally with the Dior heels pictured below.)  Good luck finding a more perfect shoe! 
4) Summer Sweaters 
One trend I've noticed for guys is mixing the seasons up.  Try a light sweater on a breezy Summer night to add an interesting texture.  Pictured below is a cashmere ecru version from 830Sign.
