Oscars 2014

I love watching the fashion at the Oscars because everyone is so elegant and glamorous. Everyone is wearing beautifully constructed formal wear and it’s just a lovely, polished evening. That being said, I had no stand out favorites. I am just really happy that all of the ladies looked really pretty on their special night. There were plenty of beautiful black and neutral gowns – always a safe way to go. You can also never go wrong with some bling and there was plenty of that on the red carpet. Also, the trend of bright colors that I believe has been started by the amazing Lupita Nyongo’o was evident and everyone who wore color wore it well. Even the men on the red carpet played with color and didn’t just stick to the traditional black. There was Dallas Buyers’ Club starts and winners Matthew McConaughey (alright, alright, alright!) and Jared Leto rocking the white dinner jackets; Michael Strahan looked great in a merlot colored tuxedo; and there was also some navy blue hued suits – way to think outside of the box, fellas!

It's Fashion Week! Jason Wu!

It's fashion week and I'm living on style.com looking through their slideshows!  I have to say I am not swooning this year - it's looking like a bad season of Project Runway so far. The garments look like they've just been thrown together at the last minute. So disappointing! I won't say what collections I've already browsed...

Finally, I found a couple of nice pieces presented by Mr. Jason Wu.  Just 3 great pieces out of 45, though!  That's not a good percentage.

I feel like continuing and looking some more now!  I will press forward believing I will find lots of pieces that will take my breath away and about which I can write good things!

Jason Wu

I am a really, really big fan of Jason Wu.  However, before I discuss his collection, I must speak up for all women everywhere...

WE ARE SO OVER PANTYHOSE!!!

Tights - hot!  Decorative hose - ok, maybe! Plain old granny pantyhose - NOT cute!

Whew! That felt good!  (I have occasionally have some slight feminist tendencies!)

Now that I have my little rant out of my system - I really liked the collection.  It was really edgy and kind of reminded me of The Matrix.  Jason clearly took the "red pill"!  I especially liked the dresses (big surprise right?).  They would have looked lots better without - well, you know! ;)

love&light...

 

 

As always, thanks to style.com for their great photos and making me feel like I was there!
