The Road to the Oscars Part 4

Hey, all! Sorry for my blogging absence this past week! It's my four day week, my housekeeper couldn't come this week, we have the Oscar party on Sunday and we started working out this week. I don't have enough hours in the day. Here are my picks for the Oscar dresses. I promised you a survey but I fear this post is too long as it is. I will post the survey on Saturday and the results on Sunday. Hope you are all doing well! Here is a question for you (for those who cannot make the Oscar party): If you were coming to our party, what Oscar inspired food would you bring?

The Road to the Oscars Part 3

Hello, all, from near Port Clinton, OH. Ralph planned a romantic get-a-way for us this Valentine's weekend. We are holed up in a beautiful bed and breakfast. We have a large king sized bed, a jacuzzi tub for 2 and a fireplace. I am quite excited to just RELAX! We have not done that in a while. Here are the last of the dresses. Next week you will get to vote on who should wear the dresses! I'll have a special edition next Saturday with our picks!

The Road to the Oscars Part 2

There were so many options for deciding on dresses! I think I WAY overthought this. Should I look for dresses I like? Should I look for unique Oscar dresses? Should I study pictures of what each girl has worn in the past and try to find on in their own style? And the options go on and on. I finally decided for a mixture. Mostly they will be dresses I liked for some reason as well as some "strikinly unique" Oscar-worthy dresses sure to cause discussion for weeks after the fact!




Metallic chic







Chanel





Armani


















Ann Klein









The 80's are back!

As mentioned in a previous post, I am going to post pics of Oscar dresses that I think should have/will make it to The Oscars.

Today is a preview of the actresses nominated (plus two).
