Sophisticated Sage

With so many things to do in LA at any given moment (well, until 2 am at least) it is nice to have an outfit that is simultaneously dressy and casual.  This dress is perfect for wearing to work or could be worn to drinks with girlfriends, a date with the man or any function really.  Dress it up or down depending on your shoes, accessories hairstyle and mood.

Casual Crochet

I realize that lately I have been somewhat absent in this blog community, but I assure you, I have not been lazy.  Last week I began an internship in order that I might learn new things regarding business, fashion and marketing.  It is only part-time and unpaid, but so far I am loving it!! However, I have still been working 4-5 days a week at the restaurant as well all while applying for teaching jobs, so I have been a bit busy.  This crocheted dress is one of the many purchases I have made so far this month from Anthropologie (thanks for my birthday discount card!) AND it was on sale.  Perfect for a casual day of brunch, too many iced coffees and great conversation!

Oscars: Sparkle and Glamour

First off, I must confess that I did not get to watch the Academy Awards last night as we do not have a tv and when I tried to stream it, sadly it was not free.  However, in looking over what everyone wore, I noticed the trends--all white, sparkles, mermaid style, strapless and glamour.  I did not love Gwyneth Paltrow's dress and cape (like most people went crazy over) and I thought Angelina looked terrible.  Here, are a few of my favorites though, and surprisingly most are actresses from Bridesmaids.

Ellie Kemper is gorgeous in that Armani Prive gown
and I love that clutch with it!

Kristen Wiig is beautiful with her hair color, gown and
maroon nails to compliment.

I don't think Michelle Williams could ever not
look adorable. The shade of color is perfect
on the Louis Vuitton gown and I LOVE the bow.

Mila Jovovich is glamorous in her sparkly white
gown, red lip and hair--very Tinsel Town.

And for my favorite look of the night....

Rose Byrne is stunning in the single strap Vivienne Westwood black sparkly dress, her peep-toe Jimmy Choo's, bangs and bob. LOVE her!
