Oscar Night's Outrageous Outfits

Happy Monday all you little chickadees!  Once again, NYC has snow, awesome, so over it.  Sorry that's the end of that.  I hope you all had fabulous weekends, I sure did!  I'll get to that later this week....because last night...WAS OSCAR NIGHT!!!  It's a night I've been waiting for and love - and it did not disappoint!  

First - before I get to all my fashion faves/misses - Ellen did great!   I thought there were a few "lulls" that could have been taken out (aka would have made it a lil shorter so I could go to bed), but over all I thought it was great.  Loved when she made fun of J Law and Jonah Hill.  The pizza was a hit and Brad Pitt handing  out paper plates as if he was a room mom in my 1st grade class, just was amazing.  The stars seemed relaxed for the most part and all of the jokes were in good fun - which I love!  I thought the winners were well deserved, although it was a very tough year.  I think Leo was a lil short handed, BUT my boy Matthew is flawless.  I really think it was a really hard year to pick just one, I know I had a few in each category that I really thought were outstanding.  

And now...on to the fashion.  I saw a lot of neutrals and lace this year.  A lot of sparkle, too.  Honestly, I didn't have that many that I didn't think looked great.  And even those - most weren't horrible - they just fell flat.  Soooo here are my hits & misses!

Favorite Singles:

Killing IT!!!  Love this color on her and the necklace is perfect.  Amazing

The hair.  The color.  The cut.  All perfection.

Stunning.  The beading on this dress is insane.  Simple hair & makeup made the look stellar.

This color is gorg.  I'm not sold on the headband, but it's so beautiful.

Classic.  So simple and sophisticated.

Slayed it.  That top and the silhouette is just unreal.

The bow tie.  The hair.  The eyes.  I die.

One of my absolute faves of the night.  This color on her and that body of hers.  It's not fair.

Looking good Mr. Cooper!

I'm sorry but could she be any more gorg as a very pregnant woman?!  That color is perfect on her.

The only way this could be more perfect is if Ben was hanging on her arm.

Most of you know about my girl crush on Kate, so this just added to it.  This dress on her was so beyond.

That necklace is so gorg.  She really just nailed it with the all white and red lip.

Obsessed with this color.  And the jewelry is just so on point.

Am I a cougar or is Zefron just getting really hot?!  What is happening?!  

Favorite Doubles:

Flawless.  Angie is a bit more "buttoned up" than usual, but she looks great and Brad - classic!

Can you even?!  That dress is beyond and he's so handsome it's not normal.  LOVE.

These 2 just really don't disappoint.  Flawless.

Once again - they just slayed the carpet.  Couldn't be more adorable and gorg.

I'm sorry...she's pregnant with twins guys!  How amazing do these 2 look - and that color is just gorg.

Not So Much:

I adore her - but I just didn't like that middle section.  The flowers did nothing.

So boring.  The top looks like something from 1994 and the shape does zero for her.

Love him - but it's the Oscars.  Put some pants on.  And her - I can't.

Just way too much black and that dress does zero for her.

Not awful - but something just doesn't seem right.

This made me just feel really blue.

The shape is fine, but I just really did not like the top and the way her hair was - didn't work for me.

Just no.  Everything is just wrong.

How To Survive Winter

Is anyone else totally over this weather?!  I'm usually not one to complain when it comes to snow/winter - but enough is enough!!  We've had too much and now we're getting more and someone is angry (aka me).  There's not much motivating me these next few weeks or some amazing beach vacay at the end of this gloomy, freezing cold tunnel.  Wahhhhhh.  I do however have a few fun weekend jaunts coming up, DC for Sydney's bday, Chicago in April and I just booked a lil trippy to Houston in March.  BUT I feel like I need more to keep me going!!  And work and the gym are simply not cutting it!!  The only thing slightly keeping me afloat is the amazing reality TV that has been gracing us lately.  Here are a few things that I'm currently obsessed with and my rationale…trust me you'll need to get involved.

Vanderpump Rules - Now if you haven't already gotten on board…you really need to.  The season is over, but the reunion specials are on now.  This sums it up...

Do yourself a favor and binge watch it during this next snow storm.   It's ahhhmazing.  And these kids are no joke cray to the zay.  I won't totally spoil things now…I'll give you till the next reunion show (you have 1 week).  And if you think for one second that I wasn't at an event with Jax Taylor last week...YOU'RE WRONG!!

Couple's Therapy - Ok so I'm slightly embarrassed by this on…a lil WT, HOWEVER it's beyond.  I mean in one house you have Taylor from RHOBH, FARRAH from Teen Mom & Ghostface Killah…I'm sorry…WHAT?!?!?!  The amount of times that Farrah "cries"/can't speak/whispers is beyond.  And she's there alone…I repeat…she is at couple's therapy alone.  Oh and Taylor cries over green towels.  It's just too much and I can't handle it …oh and did I mention John Gosslin is also on there??

The Bachelor  - Now I haven't tuned into this since Trista & Ryan.  It's seriously been that long.  We used to watch it in college with wine and friends and it was great - but it lost it's "charm" when I was watching sober…alone.  BUT I stumbled upon it a few weeks ago and I must say I'm aboard this runaway train.  It's a disaster.  These girls - I can't.  get a hold of yourselves!!  If one more 20 something talks about "settling down" and "ticking clocks" and needing to get married - I'm gonna scream.  I think these reviews really nailed it!  However, it's worth it every week to tune into the meltdown that ensues - because don't worry - there's one every week.  This is my fave...oh Victoria! 

Rich Kids of Beverly Hills - I still can't tell if I hate this or love this.  I feel like parts of it are so beyond ridiculous that I just can't help but sit there laughing.  And it's better when they acknowledge how ridiculous it really is.  The one girl who I think is hilar is Morgan - I kinda wanna be her friend. 

Obviously this list is non-exclusive of my original faves…every RH (meaning every city).  Kardashians…I just can't quit you!  Shah's of Sunset…finale tonight!! 

Soooo I hope you all have snow days this week!  I'm positive I won't…because don't worry I was at work when New York was declared a "State of Emergency"…so that's normal.  You know just had to climb over a few snow mounds, but I made it!  Smiling allll the way….

Barre Mania

OMG ya'll.  I went to my first Barre Class last night - I'm having trouble moving.  But real quick before I get into that.  Sorry for the MIA status - things have been beyond.  That's it - just beyond.  My little bro is getting married in like T-16 days.  AND a special shout out to 2 girlies that got engaged!  My sister…wahoooooo!!  AND Hermione…. yippppiiieeeee!!!  So excited for them!!

Ok so that's that.  I decided to try something new, other than the Pilates reformers that I'm obsessed with.  I've been doing it for a few months now and honestly its one of my favorite workouts I've ever done.  But I've been wanting to try these said barre classes, so I (in my infinite wisdom) paid $150 for unlimited classes.   I'm going to Pure Barre.  Oh and PS - I've never even been to one before - so that was one of my better choices in life. 

So off I went last night.  I got there early and changed…felt totally inadequate already.  Everyone had on these "special socks", I was sporting plain whites.  And then we went into the room and the instructor told me what I'd need.  So I put my stuff like kind of in the front middle - honestly I was trying to hide from the door where people could look in - and I didn't think much of it.  And then the instructor said:  "Ohhhh right in front - that's a bold move".  To which I awkwardly try to slide back and then class started and I kid you not - ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE!

All of a sudden she was like yelling things and counting, I was just tying with all my might to keep up and be coordinated.  Basically the whole room was judging me.  

Everyone else seemed to know what they were doing and of course I was front and center for everyone to see.  I would have been embarrassed if I wasn't so focused on counting and trying to just keep up.  It was one of the hardest classes I've ever taken in my life.  Now I'm not saying I'm some Fitness Magazine model - but I feel like I'm in decent shape.  When I tell you I was dripping wet and could hardly breath - that's an understatement.  I mean people must have thought I was one plié away from a heart attack.  At one point I couldn't even wipe the sweat off anymore - I just had to let fly.  I just wanted it to be over.

So when it was all finished (and btw there were no clocks in the room so you didn’t even know how much longer you had to endure this insanity), I literally could barely walk - it was more like lumbering if you will.  I got on a bus and everyone looked at me in disgust - sorry I'm not sorry. 

And now I'm the proud owner of one unlimited month of this madness.  And I think I'm just sick because I already signed up for classes Sunday, Tuesday & Thursday.  Like what is wrong with me?! 

Oh and one quick thing before we part ways…my new obsession is The Voice's Tony Lucca's version of "99 Problems".  Do yourselves all a favor and go download it from iTunes.  But in the meantime…here's a preview…AMAZEBALLS!!
