Look for Less

These earrings are beautiful, but pricey at $1,250.

These are very similar to the pair by Jennifer Meyer, but waaaaaaaaay less expensive at

only $19. Perfect for spring. I will definitely be getting a pair.

Stun-ning

I die.

The REAL Oscar Awards

BEST DRESSED

Sandra Bullock (in Marchesa) was the belle of the ball last night. This picture does not do her justice. Her skin glowed, her hair glowed, her body glowed. Her pink lipstick was the only color she needed.

BIGGEST LETDOWNS

As you know, I LOVE Chanel. Karl Lagerfeld dressed two of my favorite celebs, Sarah Jessica Parker and Diane Kruger, who normally look fabulous. These dresses were unattractive, to say the least. SJP's hair also looked terrible and extremely frizzy. Hairspray???

SKIN TONE MISMATCH

These dresses are gorgeous. I am not arguing against that. However, I don't think it works with their skin tones. Kate Winslet (in YSL) and Anna Kendrick (in Elie Saab Couture) should both have chosen darker colors. Paler people look better in pure white or brighter colors.

"LOOK HALF THEIR AGE" AWARD

T

These ladies prove that you can still look stunning in your older years. Helen Mirren and Meryl Streep (in Project Runway alum Chris March) look absolutely beautiful. Both of their dresses highlight their best assets.

Spotted

I was searching one of my favorite sites, LOOKBOOK.nu, when I came across this girl:

I love her "je ne sais quoi," and of course, her outfit. So I was inspired to look for a polka dot skirt.

I went from admiration to horrification in .2 seconds when I saw these skirts by Forever 21. Definitely a DON'T. These look like cupcakes.

Great Bluefly Buy

Marc by Marc Jacobs makes great basics. His sweatshirts are a must-buy every season, because they take your look from sloppy to stylish. I love this one on Bluefly, but it's not my size. Get it fast- only 2 left!
