This may or may not be my last post about the Oscars.
P.S.  I should be studying.  :)

Holy Oscars

Awards season went out with a bang last night.  
While the actual show was a tad boring, the red carpet was fabulous!
I had so many favorites; Mila and Cate looked incredible in lavender,  
Sandra and Anne were amazing in red, 
Mandy and Hilary looked stunning in silver, and  
Camila was a beauty in black. 
I give props to Natalie for looking better than she has on recent red carpets,
and as much I hate to admit it, I liked ScarJo's dress.   
I really wanted to love Reese, but wasn't too impressed.  
There were so many gorgeous gowns,
and some not so great gowns.  
Cate Blanchett was my carpet winner.  I LOVED her Givenchy dress!  To die for.  
Drum roll....
Here are my winners (and a few losers) of the evening.

Hair Affair

So I'm in dire need of a haircut.  For reals.
I've been rather lazy with my style these days, so I really want to jazz it up.
The lo down on my hair:
Mousy brown (with a few grays...eek!), naturally curly, and overall boring. 
I'm not trying to be down on myself, I've just had the same haircut foreva.
(Except for that time when I tried to go blonde.  Big mistake.  Huge.)
Fingers crossed to a being adventurous.    

So I love Olivia Palermo.  In my dreams my hair really looks like this.  It doesn't.
So this wouldn't be much of a change, but I love it and she looks great.

The pair recently appeared in the latest ad campaign for the clothing company.
Jennifer Aniston's new do looks great on her.  She can really do no wrong in the hair dept.
Who doesn't remember the Rachel?
So maybe I should go for a short bob??
