Make this Monday magical!
Let me begin. I’m a huge Hunger Games fan. I am so in love with this fandom and their passion. I was planning on attending the Hunger Games mall event yesterday in Westfield Broward as just that…a fan. I did not expect to be picking up a press badge, but it was a pleasant surprise. I loved being able to watch the fans in action from our riser. It was honestly my favorite part. So many 3-fingered salutes, smiles and squeals. It was infectious.
I get so excited when it’s award season!
It’s just so exciting and glamorous.
Unfortunately, this year I had to watch the Golden Globes under the covers trying to endure intense body aches and one killer sore throat. Yep, I picked up a fun virus. But that didn’t stop me from listing out my best and worst dressed on the carpet.
& here they are;
Sofia Vergara, Nicole Ritchie, Nicole Kidman, Kelly Osbourne and Emma Stone actually looked like they were going to a glamorous event. Unfortunately, the rest of the big stars seemed to be attending something more along the lines of their senior prom. Am I right? Definitely was not blown away with the fashions (was that a Jessica McClintock Natalie Portman was rocking? Seriously).
Sorry ladies. Unfortunately, voluminous gowns seemed to have made a very ill-fitting comeback last night (Sarah Michelle Gellar blue paint disaster and Piper Perabou‘s nude cupcake number), along with gowns that wanted to compete with actresses over attention (the beautiful Dianna Agron managed to take a backseat to her overly intricate laser cut swan [?!?!] dress). You may be thinking, “Well where does Claire Danes fit in?” Although her dress was really beautiful from the back, I just cannot get behind this white/black contrast trend. It is so matronly! Made me totally miss her little neon pink ensemble from last year’s show.
What did all you pretties think?
ps; wait until you see what I have in store for all of you tomorrow!
I hope you all had a great weekend! Despite all the rain and gloom in our neck of the woods, we had a really action-packed one! Here are some of the moments that made it, and the rest of last week, so special;
x. receiving an invite to a blogger event
x. playing sloshball with good friends
x. karaoking to No Doubt
x. surprise visit by friends that led to talking for hours over fruity drinks
x. creating a new playlist on Spotify, Powerful
x. putting together my application to sit for certification – big deal
x. lunch date with old coworkers/friends
x. getting a package from Romwe with adorable accessories
x. finding the perfect affordable foundation (Revlon’s ColorStay if interested)
x. starting to pack for Europe (now 2 weeks away!!)
x. Zachary Quinto finally came out
Lots of shopping to do this week – picking up final little items for our trip, as well as Halloween costumes! I love October!
The Royal Wedding has a special meaning to me.
Sure, everyone can’t help but be excited – a regular girl, about to become a princess. The fashion. The pomp and circumstance. But I have a different reason.
I was born on Prince Charles & Princess Diana’s wedding day. Rumors have it that everyone in the delivery room exclaimed, “Princess Diana has arrived!” when I crowned. It was at that time that my middle name was chosen: Diana. That day was July 29th, 1981.
And now, one of Diana’s beloved sons, William, is to get married to the beautiful Kate Middleton. A “normal” girl. A fairy tale come true. And it’s happening on April 29, 2011 – my sister’s birthday. What? It’s so strange.
But I digress.
How gorgeous did the new princess (excuse me, dutchess) look in Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen??
& her sister, and maid of honor, was not far behind in a slinky, form fitting beauty of a McQueen gown in a rich cream.
Much congratulations to the new couple, may they be the voice of a new generation!
ps; I loved all the fun hats/fascinators!
