My Oscar 2013 Red Carpet Faves

Hi beauties:

I don't usually watch the Oscar's simply because I rarely turn on my TV so I'm usually clueless as to which movie is playing and which movie blew up the box office. At any rate, I figured that I could at least watch the Red Carpet portion of the event just to get an eye full of the fabulous gowns/ dresses that would be passing through. While there were many beautiful gowns at the event, I narrowed my absolute favourites down to six.

Charlize Theron in a stunning GORGEOUS Dior dress. This was my absolute fave. First choice all the way. The sleekness, simplicity and elegance of this dress is captivating. I think this will also be a wedding dress option *wink*

 One of Hollywood's favourite 'girls', none other than Ms. Halle Berry. Halle graced the Red Carpet in this amazing matallic gown by Versace. We all know that Halle is a Versace girl.

 

While I wasn't very keen on the fact that Jessica Chastain chose a colour very close to her skin tone, one cannot deny that this is a beautiful gown. Jessica chose this gown by Armani Prive because it reminded her of Old Hollywood. How classic.

 

Donna Karan is no stranger when it comes to designing beautifully, well crafted gowns/dresses. Singer Kelly Rowland graced the Red Carpet in this stunning, fitted monochrome gown. Breathtaking.

I want this dress. I just love the simple, elegant, feminine touch of this dress. The soft, underlying, monochrome sheer material at the tail completed this dress.

What is there to say about Naomi Watt's gown other than the fact that it is just to die for? This metallic gown is by Armani Prive. How elegant is it? I LOVE the unexpected detail in the front.

Did you have any favourites?

MY STYLE: Minted

Hi beauties:

I know that my posts have been sporadic but I managed to capture a few shots of my outfit today. Thank you for being so patient with me.

Mint is on trend for Spring 2013 and although I don't own alot of mint pieces, I quickly through this outfit together and thought 'voila, it works, it's on trend and it's airy'. Today was really hot but my open stitch/sheer back top helped to keep me cool. Nonetheless, it was another beautiful day in the island sun.

MY STYLE: Purple Love...

Hi beauties:

I know it has been a minute since I last did a style post but life has been taking over....surely you can understand right? My apologies....

Last Friday, I attended the annual Island Air Luxury Party and I thought I would do a quick post showing you what I wore. This is my 3rd year attending and it is the largest, exclusive private party on the island. This year's event attracted a whopping 1,500 attendees and the night was epic.

MY STYLE: Pleated Yellow Maxi & Purple Peplum

Happy Sunday Beauties:

There is just something about going to church that makes me amp up my outfits a little. Of course in amping them up, I am careful to remain modest and not overdone.

I wore this bright ensemble to church today and I think it was a winner. I adore maxi skirts and you will definitely see this yellow one again. 

Many people 'dress to kill' when going to dinner, parties or other special events so why not do the same when going into the house of the Lord?

MY STYLE: It's All M.I.N.E

Hi beauties:

Today was a casual Saturday for me and once again, it definitely didn't go as planned but what I knew was that I definitely wanted to sport my new t-shirt by M.I.N.E.

Making It Necessary for Everyone (M.I.N.E.) is a t-shirt line that Taren hopes will inspire many others to follow their dreams and goals. 

It is no secret that I am a natural hair enthusiast and today's outfit showcases a t-shirt design (It's all M.I.N.E) by none other than Ms. Taren Guy who is also a natural hair enthusiast. I met Taren at Curly Nikki's Meet & Greet in NY in 2011 (pictures here) and you can learn more about her  and her foundation here.

MY STYLE: Dots & Denim.........& a HAPPY NEW YEAR!

HAPPY BLESSED NEW YEAR Beauties!

I hope that the new year has found you (and your families) in great spirits and that you have high hopes and dreams for 2013. May all your aspirations and goals come to fruition this year. It's a new season, a new day, a new year....make it yours!

Recently, I have been adding more 'printed' pieces to my wardrobe. A few of these pieces have been polka dots, stripes, aztec prints etc.

I wore this ruffled denim dress in November 2012 but this time I decided to pair it with this blouse and I liked the exaggeration of ruffles in this outfit.
