83rd Annual Academy Awards: LOVE it

The 83rd Annual Academy Awards is being held right now at the Kodak Theatre at Los Angeles.

My sisters and I are currently watching it and we were talking about how cool it would be if we actually got invited to the Oscars.

Hey, there's nothing wrong about dreaming right?

Anyways, if you guys are watching it right now, which I am sure you are, you have just seen James Franco dressed as a girl, complete with a gown, heels, and a wig. :D

He's so cute! But let's move on shall we?

Photobucket

Check out the food served during the red carpet.

Chef Wolfgang Puck. It looks very delish!

Photobucket

Celine Dion

I love the simplicity of this look.
And she looks great for having given birth four months ago.
I don't know how they do it.

Photobucket

Helen Mirren

She looks like a queen!
The color looks great on her.
I'm loving the puffy sleeves effect.

Photobucket

Producer Lisa Marie

I had to add this on here because I love her gown.
The print is very different. Very unique.
Not digging her hair though.

Photobucket

Nancy O'Dell

I love love love the color of her gown!
She looks very lovely. PERFECT!

Photobucket

Busy Philipps

I remember her from White Chicks and the Made of Honor.

She looks very beautiful.
I am loving her hair and makeup.

Photobucket

Florence Welch

I like the lace material of her dress.
It adds a feminine touch to it.
The light cream, yellow-ish color goes great with her red hair.

Photobucket

Cate Blanchett

Her dress is very very different.
I didn't like it at first because I thought that the pearl detailing looked a bit off. Sort of like a pack of "warts".
But the fit is great on Cate's body. And she looks good in it.
So it is definitely a LOVE.

Photobucket

Jennifer Hudson

I don't really like her. I think she is kind of cocky in a way.
But she looks great, so I love it.

Photobucket

Jacki Weaver

Her dress is so cute! It is something I would pick out.
The only bad thing is that the puffy portion of the dress makes her even more short.

Photobucket

Mandy Moore

One word: STUNNING
She looks soooo gorgeous.
I LOVE everything. The gown. The make up. The hair.
Everything!

Photobucket

Halle Berry

She looks beautiful as always.
Love her gown.

Photobucket

Mila Kunis

AH! I loved the whole ensemble from the moment she stepped out of her car.
Why must she be soooooo pretty?
She's definitely one of the people I look forward to seeing, whenever there is an award show.

Photobucket

3rd Place: Hillary Swank

She looks stunningly gorgeous in her Gucci Premiere Couture gown.
She paired it with grey platform sandals with crystal heels.

I've always thought that Hillary Swank is so pretty ever since I watched P.S. I Love You. I love this whole ensemble.
She kept it simple by not wearing any accesories. Her gown was the main attraction.

Photobucket

2nd Place: Amy Adams

She works the Red Carpet in her L'Wren Scott sparkly gown paired with Ferragamo black satin shoes. She accessorized it with Cartier emerald and diamond necklace and bracelet. Which by the way costs $1.35 million.
I know right?!

When I was watching the Red Carpet on E News, I did not like this at all.
I mean I LOVED her gown but I thought that her jewelries were a bit off.
But now, looking at the pictures, I actually love it.

Photobucket

1st Place: Hailee Steinfeld

Hailee Steinfeld is wearing a self-designed Marchesa dress paired with Ferragamo clutch and shoes. She accessorized it with Fred Leighton jewels.

She is so lucky to be at the Academy Awards, especially at the age of 14. That's crazy. She is definitely my pick of the night because just look at her. She looks adorable.
Her dress is very age-appropriate. She's embracing her youth and I wish her more luck on her career. Defintely a PERFECT ENSEMBLE!



What about you?! Who was your pick of the night?

Maybelline Color Sensational Lipstick: Pink Sand Review

Photobucket

Walgreens is a nice one-stop store. :D

After school on Friday, I stopped by Walgreens to pick up a few things.

Photobucket

Maybelline Pink Sand Lipstick

Retails for $7.49

Photobucket

I wear this with my
Victoria Secret Beauty Rush Strawberry lipgloss.

Photobucket

Packaging is nice.

It is very light and subtle.


Good for everyday use.

It brightens up my face.


Color is appropriate for school.


I won't get in trouble. :]

Lasts for atleast 4 hours. Reapplying is easy.

Photobucket

This is the perfect pinkish nude lip color for me.

As you can see, I did not use lip liner. This lip combo gives my lips a subtle pink tint and gloss.

This is what it looks like when I retouched it at school during our lunch break.



What is your current lip color?!



Where lipstick is concerned, the important thing is not color, but to accept God's final word on where your lips end.

Who needs a TV stand?!

My family owns a 58-inch plasma TV!

It's so big that we don't know if the wall will be able to hold it up.
So for the mean time, we have been on the look out for perfect
corner TV stands!

Our living room has an antique feel to it with wood furnitures. So I think a wooden TV stand will match it the best!

Let's look at our potential TV stands from the CSN store:

Photobucket

Homestead Corner TV Stand in rich multi-step Warm Oak

It would go perfectly in a room with light oak furnitures.
It would look really pretty in any colored walls.
I would say that oak is like the color "black."
It goes with everything!

$398.95

Photobucket

Bedford Corner TV Stand

This stand is something my little brother would pick.
It would go very well in a blue room with black colored bed and sidetables.
It has a "guy-ish" effect to it due to its dark color.

Actually, I would also use this since it will also look very good in a pink room!

$394.99

Photobucket

Naples Corner TV Stand in rich multi-step white

But this is my TOP pick for my room!

It would definitely brighten up the room.
And it would make it more girly!

$409.00

Photobucket

Concerto 62" Corner TV Credenza in Espresso

This stand is more modern looking.
It has multiple cabinets and a lot of space to store DVDs, CDs, and cable boxes.
Although it's on the pricier side, its definitely a good deal.
It'll last you a very long time. :D

$1,500.99

Photobucket

Lafayette Corner TV Stand in rich multi-step cherry

THE PERFECT TV STAND FOR MY LIVING ROOM!

It matches all of our furnitures.
I'm definitely going to be showing my mom this. :D

$399.95


What are you waiting for? Go on and buy your own Corner TV stand!

All About Fashion...

I LOVE FASHION!

I LOVE to mix and match my clothes to create different styles.

Here's a couple of outfits I made from H&M:

Photobucket

"Out and About"

This outfit is very fun and edgy.

I love the combination of the leopard print skirt, lace blazer, with the net tights.

I would wear this outfit to a semi-formal party or even a date!

Photobucket

"Blazer-Maniac"

This outfit is very sophisticated and simple.

It is appropriate for school. And it is something I would totally wear.

Photobucket

"Little Black Dress"

Everyone owns a little black dress and this is just one of the many ways you can dress it up.

I added a glittery blazer to make it alive and the statement necklace adds an edge to it.

This is more of a daring look and I wanted to make an outfit that would appeal to my older readers, so here it is.

It can be worn on a girl's night out at a club. I'm only 16 so this is not for me. But it's really cute, right?

Photobucket

"Warm and Cozy"

This outfit is for one of those cold winter days.

It's comfortable but cute.

IT IS THE PERFECT SCHOOL OUTFIT!


Which one do you like the best?!

17th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards: HATE IT!

Let's have a look at the not so glamorous looks at the SAG Awards!

Photobucket

Susan Sarandon

Her dress looks akward!
And she could have picked a different color.

Photobucket

Sarah Hyland

She could have gone with something more young and vibrant.
This one just looks too boring.

Photobucket

Julie Bowen

I don't like the fact that she wore pants.
This is the only time where you can dress up and look glamorous.
Why not go all the way?

Photobucket

Nicole Kidman

Her dress is not that bad!
But what's up with the necklace?
It doesn't look good.


Photobucket

Paz De La Huerta

I don't even know what to say!
The bottom "mermaid-effect" of the dress killed it.
And her dark lips was way too much.

Photobucket

Hailee Steinfeld

She's soooo pretty. I love her hair and everything!
But the colors of her dress hurt my eyes.
although it is fun and girly.
I just really don't like it.

Photobucket

Jane Lynch

I love her but this is not her best choice!
Her dress looks like a Beauty and the Beast gone bad!
No just NO!


What about you? What's your opinion?

17th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards: LOVE IT

The 17th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards was held last Sunday, January 30, 2011 at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, CA.

Just for a quick re-cap for those of you who didn't get to watch it, the winners were:

Best Motion Picture: The King's Speech
Best Male Actor: Colin Firth, The King's Speech
Best Female Actor: Natalie Portman, The Black Swan
Best Supporting Male Actor: Christian Bale, The Fighter
Best Supporting Female Actor: Melissa Leo, The Fighter

Now that you know who won, let's go see what the celebs were wearing! :)

Photobucket

Helena Bonham Carter

I was really surprised to see her clean up well.
She actually looks really good. Minus the weird hair.

Funny thing she said when she was being interviewed, "I'm not going to make it in the best dressed list anyway, so might as well make it to the worst." LOVE IT!

Photobucket

Jennifer Lawrence

I love the cut of her dress. It's very flattering.
Although, not really sure about the color. It kind of hurts my eyes.

Photobucket

Amy Adams

This gown looks lovely on her. It really embraces her curves!

Photobucket

Natalie Portman

I'm so glad that she dressed up waaay better than she did at the Golden Globes.
This white dress really compliments her skin color and I LOVE the silver beading on her neckline. Her baby bump's cute too. :]

Photobucket

Sofia Vergara

She has such a nice body. Everything she wears just fits perfectly on her.
What more can I say?

Photobucket

Hilary Swank

I've always thought Hilary Swank was pretty. I love that her dress is a one shoulder. And I think that the nude color looks good on her.

Photobucket

Jayma Mays

There is something about her that just makes her looks soooo pretty.
I can't quite pin-point it. but I LOVE IT!

Photobucket

Tina Fey

LOVE everything. The color, the lace, the hair, everything!!!

Photobucket

Lea Michele

I was expecting something better from her.
I admit, I was a little bit disappointed.
But she still looks good.
I just wish she picked something that hugs her body better. The fact that she doesn't have much in the bust area ruins the effect of the dress.

Photobucket

Kim Kardashian

One word: LOVE!
Especially the gold accents of her purple gown!

Photobucket

Eva Longoria

What can I say? She looks amazing as always.

Photobucket

4th Place: Claire Danes

Claire Danes is wearing a Louis Vuitton dress by Marc Jacobs with Fred Leighton Jewelry.

I love the print of her gown.
It has a safari-like effect with a tropical feel to it.
The long black belt looks a little awkward though.

Photobucket

3rd Place: Mila Kunis

She is looking glamorous in her chiffon Alexander McQueen gown. She accesorized it with Cartier jewelry.

OMG, when I saw her, I fell in LOVE with her whole look.
She is honestly soooo pretty. I LOVE IT!

Photobucket

2nd Place: Heather Morris

Heather Morris steals the spotlight with her Ramona Keveza blush silk chiffon gown. The bodice of her dress has a rosette detailing and beading which adds a feminine touch to the whole ensemble.

I would so wear this gown to my prom!

I honestly couldn't pick between Heather Morris and Angie Harmon. They both looked stunningly beautiful.

Photobucket

1st Place: Angie Harmon

She sparkled in her pale pink-feather gown by Monique Lhuillier. It has a beaded bodice that adds so much character to it.

Photobucket

This my favorite look of the night!!! You can see why.
I love the feathered effect of her gown. It's just perfect.

I love her sleek ponytail. There is so much going on with her gown, so the simple, low ponytail was just right. I JUST SIMPLY LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE IT!

What about you? Who were your top picks from the 17th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards?
