This Ain't Your Ordinary Oatmeal...

Oh how I would prefer this S'mores Oatmeal over my Quaker Raisins & Spice this morning.

Song Of The Week: One More Time

Daft Punk - New Music - More Music Videos

Even though I celebrated my birthday on Saturday with my LA peeps, I am gonna celebrate it "One More Time" this coming weekend in Seattle! This song puts me in the best of moods, and it is just too hard NOT to dance to it.

Happy {Last} Weekend {In My Twenties}

This last week in my twenties has been spent drinking these...

but fear not, with the help of this,



I am sure I will end up like this....

With the girls on Saturday night! Woot Woot!

You should all have a fabu weekend too!

Forever Frugal Friday

I have had my eye on these Dolce Vita Trinity Studded Pumps for quite some time but just couldn't justify the $210 purchase.

I can however justify a $25.80 purchase...

I think I can look past the fact that they are velvet...because these Studded Pumps are a great knock off. However, I might need to see these puppies in person before any commitment is made.

A trip to Forever is definitely in the cards for me this weekend, and I am hoping to come back with some great finds like Miss Amber did (loving that grey and white striped skirt)!

Scrub-A-Dub-Love

A few weeks ago I saw this L'Oreal commercial with Freida Pinto using their new face wash and . I was sold in the first 10 seconds. So this past Sunday at Target I picked up a bottle of the L'Oreal Go 360 Clean Face Wash. I couldn't wait to wash my face!

Well I am happy to report that the next morning in the shower, I tried out my fancy new $5.99 face wash and absolutely loved it! It makes your face feel so soft and totally clean. I am hooked and look forward to washing my face with it every morning (I have a different product I use at night - more on that later). I am so hooked that this weekend, I think I will head back to target to pick up the L'Oreal Go 360 Deep Exfoliating Scrub. It also comes in a Cream Cleanser for Sensitive Skin and a Cream Cleanser for Normal Skin.

Give it go and let your skin glow!

Anna Paquin

I just had to share this clip of Anna Paquin from 2009, as her accent is just barely present. She plays the role of Sookie so well I had forgotten that Anna was born in Canada and grew up in New Zealand. However, do we think she is practicing for a role with that thick accent she was sporting at the SAG awards or do we think her fiance Stephen Moyer's accent is rubbing off on her?

I know...random.

Red Carpet Rundown ~ SAG Awards 2010

I didn't actually watch the awards, but I did check out the red carpet and while I think they were a great improvement from the Golden Globes, I still wasn't blown away. I have VERY high hopes for the Oscars!

I may be the only person who doesn't watch Glee (I know, I know...it's in my Netflix), and I may have been the only person who didn't like her dress at the Globes, but Lea Michele had me at hello in this emerald Catherine Malandrino dress. Wow!

Kyra Sedgwick and Kevin Bacon are just the cutest couple and I just love seeing them on the red carpet together. Kyra almost always gets it right in my eyes and this Vera Wang number was no different. She looked INCREDIBLE. The color, the cut, the fit, her toned body. Perfection.

Marion Cotillard was fun, sexy and a vision in Elie Saab. Notice the embellished shoulder I was talking about last week? Keep your eyes peeled for more fashions exaggerating that shoulder.

While most people know her from Glee, I will always think of Jessalyn Gilsig as Wilbur's mom from Nip/Tuck. She look regal and gorgeous in her purple gown (anyone know who the designer was) and had me coveting that dress.

So Close to Perfection:

Diane Krueger almost had the gold in her Jason Wu dress. But the mustard color was just not doing it for me. Her makeup and hair were gorgeous and I am really excited to see what she wears for the Oscars.

I heart Christina Applegate and adore her style and grace on the red carpet. I loved this Robert Cavalli dress but wish it had just a little more color to it or she had gotten just a little darker of a spray tan. Either option would have been drop dead amazing.

Anna Kendrick looked pretty in her Alberta Ferretti dress, but her hair and makeup could have used a little help. The bold fuchsia was just a bit too much for her understated makeup and hair. Plus I really wanted her to wear some huge earrings or accessories. This look was too safe and a bit boring.

Bad, Bad, Bad Fashion:

How Vera Farmiga could go from looking stellar at the Globes to old and yucky in one week is beyond me. The colors of her J. Mendel dress were atrocious on her, as was her bold red lipstick and weird funky hair. She seriously aged herself 15 years in one week. I am hoping her stylist compared the two events and realizes that one look was definitely better than the other for the Oscars.

I am all for mixing it up at award shows and being a little daring, but Michelle Monaghan's Calvin Klein number just wasn't the right place or right fit or right anything.

While I love me some Sookie and True Blood and I think Anna Paquin is adorable, her Alexander McQueen dress was not the right choice again for the event. For the Grammy's...maybe. Her hair did look really cute, but I was a little thrown off by her British accent at the awards ceremony....anyone else?

Oh darling Drew...I am excited this year has been so good to you, but a little upset that you seem to be missing out on the best dressed list just barely because of the little details. Monique Lhuillier had a good idea going with this dress, the color is beautiful, the top half of the dress and the very bottom are executed lovely and then there's the middle part. It looked a little like she had just baked some goods in the kitchen and forgot to take off the apron. If you subtract that layer, throw some lipstick on her lips I think she really would have been a winner in two categories.

Who did you love or hate? Whose fashion are you looking forward to seeing at the Oscars?
