Everyone seemed to go quite tame and a little on the casual side this year. However, I was able to scrounge a few favorites, and of course my least favorites!
Best Dressed Female:
From the new series “Once Upon A Time”, Ginnifer Goodwin. Amazing hair, stunning make up, shoes are killer and that dress is bold but fits her like a glove. A+ for her!
Best Dressed Man:
Ian Somerhalder from the show “Vampire Diaries”. Had he worn a tie with the pocket square it would have been too dressy. He had the perfect amount of class for an event like this.
Worst Dressed Female:
Kelly Osbourne. Considering she’s is on E! Channel’s “Fashion Police” you’d think she would have made a little more effort. (Her Mom, however looked STUNNING!)
Worst Dressed Man:
Chris Klein. Not quite sure why he was there, but WHITE skate shoes on the red carpet? Really?! No no no!

Worst Dressed At The 2011 Oscar’s

Some interesting choices by some Best Dressed List regulars which came as quite a surprise. Here is who made the worst dressed list:
Yes, I am surprised as you that Nicole Kidman made this list, she usually looks stunning, but this Dior Couture number looked awkward and ill fitting. On a brighter note- her make up looked great and her hubby,Keith Urban looked handsome!
Another big shocker- Reese Witherspoon! She is normally adorable but this just looks like a dated 90′s look that her character in Legally Blond would wear. What is with that hairpiece?!
Best Supporting Actress winner, Melissa Leo decided to show up in a shiny doily. Not the most flattering fabric or shape. Absolutely LOVED her acceptance speech though!
It pains me to put Cate Blanchett on this list because normally she can do no wrong in my eyes. She always takes a bolder choice, but this one just didn’t work for me. I just don’t get it at all.
And the worst of the worst goes to:
Oh boy, Marisa Tomei in this dress just was a big NO. She is normally such a babe! Did you see her last year? What happened?! This dress just looks like a cheap home-made prom dress. Not a fan of the greasy parted hair either. Wonder what her stylist was thinking?
The Best and the Worst of the 2010 Oscar Red Carpet
Posted: March 7, 2010 Filed under: Entertainment, Fashion in General, Fashion News, Trends, What TO wear, What was she thinking? | Tags: acadamy awards, anna kenrick, best and worst dressed at the oscars 2010, Best Dressed, carey mulligan, chanel, charlize theron, Demi Moore, diane kruger, nicole richie, oscar red carpet, oscars 2010, Queen Latifah, rachel Mcadams, red carpet, sandra bullock, sarah jessica parker, worst dressed, zoe saldana 1 Comment »Let me just say first and foremost, everyone looked stunning tonight! I had such a hard time picking my WORST dressed! But there were a few! So with that being said, I will give you my short list of who didn’t quite make the mark.
4. Charlize Theron in Dior Couture:
The flower chest is just distracting. Its all you can look at. Not her best look. I love that she is always daring with her dresses, but this is just an overall flop.
3. Zoe Saldana in Givenchy Couture:
You know when I first saw the beautiful Zoe, it was a close up, so I just saw the top half of the dress and LOVED it, then she came out to present I didn’t know what to think! It looks like two different dresses. She is young, and so she can “almost” pull it off, but I do feel it overwhelms her tiny frame.
2. Nicole Richie in Reek Acra:
I do love the colors in this dress, but I think it just too covered up. I think if this dress had a plunging neckline on her it would have made my best dressed list, but because of the boat neck, long sleeves and train its just blah…
1. Sarah Jessica Parker in Chanel Couture:
Ok Sarah- I love you! Chanel I love you! What went wrong?! Well I let me tell you- that weird necklace/strap thing should have come off as a ribbon around her waist. I’m DYING for some shape to this. Its just not flattering at all…not to mention her hair. Just overall a BAD look.
NOW for our best dressed…I usually I try to narrow it down to 5, but I just can’t! Too many I loved of the night, so lets see how many I end up with!
Starting with the BEST of the BEST, 1. Demi Moore in Versace:
LOVE LOVE LOVE the color. She looks amazing. I wish I owned this dress!!
2. Rachel McAdams in Elie Saab:
The pattern on this dress is beautiful, the color is stunning on her and she shape is A+.
3. Sandra Bullock in Marchesa
Love this on her! It fits her figure beautifully and the sparkle just makes her shine even more then she already does! Congrats on best actress!
4. Anna Kendrick in Elle Saab:
So nude is my new favorite color. This dress so so feminine! I love the little bit of lace in the slit, its a such a pretty detail.
5. Carey Mulligan in Prada:
Cute and classic, looks great on her!
6. Diane Kruger in Chanel Couture:
Its different and unique but very Chanel. She shape suites her small frame beautifully and I am always a huge fan of cream and black.
7. Queen Latifah
The shape and fit is stunning on her! I love how it accentuates her curves beautifully.
So after all my picks, did I miss any? Who looked best and worst to you?
Oh Sandra…

Your one of my faves for sure, but sometimes I wonder if you really do have a stylist? I know you seem more like the jeans and t-shirts kinda gal, but with awards season going on and you nominated a ton for The Blind Side, (which was awesome btw) please just take a second look in the mirror before you head out in this:
The only plus of this outfit is her shoes. They rock. But the dress, is it vintage 1993? The skirt isn’t too flattering in her curvy figure and the sashes on the arms are just weird. All I can look at is her shoulders–which I guess is good because then I don’t notice the horrible embroidery on the waist….Sandra I know you can do better!!! I’ve seen it! Check this out:
Now this is what I call a dress. 10+ from me. Everything about this is just stunning. The color, she shape, her hair…top notch for sure. And not to mention her makeup-I wish I had her dewy skin! We’d like to see more of THIS look Sandra…Lets wait and see what she has in store for The Oscars on March 7, 2010.
Rachel McAdams…I’m on the fence.
Posted: December 14, 2009 Filed under: Beauty, Entertainment, Fashion in General, What was she thinking? | Tags: Anna Wintour, Fashion, make-up, rachel Mcadams, sherlock holmes, sherlock holmes premier, vogue, vouge anna wintour, vouge rachel mcadams 2 Comments »Two looks from recent Rachel McAdams that I am on the fence about. Not too sure how I feel about them.
So what do you think of her look for the premier of Sherlock Holmes? I love her dress–I’m just not sure about the make-up and hair- its a bit strong for her.
Apparently Anna Wintour thinks she’s going to be something special with Sherlock Holmes coming out–cause she’s not exactly the caliber of actress they have been featuring on the covers lately; unless Anna ran out of celebs to feature since that’s all that has been happening lately. (BRING BACK THE REAL MODELS!)
Again- make up and hair is SUPER harsh. And what is that dot on the side of her face?? I don’t recall seeing a mole there before… Plus pink lips red skirt…hmmm….I would have opted for something a bit more neutral, cause of all the color on her top and skirt.
I must admit–I am looking forward to seeing the movie though. Will you check it out?
Plastic-Pandemic?

They have changed their faces SO much, and why? Each one of these girls looked much better before! Plus they are all under 25…I’m wonder what they will look like at 45?
Heidi Montag-Pratt
Stephanie Pratt (sorta looking like Aubrey O’day now??)
Audrina Patridge
Girls, if you’re reading this and thinking of getting work done- think twice- buy some lip plumping gloss, get your teeth whitened and go to Sephora for a make-up lesson. They can show you how to enhance your eyes, make your nose look smaller or bring out your cheekbones. Its all natural and it always looks best to age naturally.
Dresses over Pants…oh no!
Posted: July 18, 2009 Filed under: Entertainment, Expired Trends, What was she thinking? Leave a comment »So are you still wearing dresses over pants? Well STOP. Here is a lovely expination why, from a fellow blogger at GoFugYourself.
Camel Toe!
Posted: February 10, 2009 Filed under: Entertainment, Fashion in General, What was she thinking? 2 Comments »These have to be the worst boots I have ever seen. Lets hope that Sara Jessica Parker does NOT start this as a new trend!!
Just when you think something is SO obvious…
Posted: December 17, 2008 Filed under: Expired Trends, Fashion in General, Fashion Tips, What was she thinking? | Tags: boots, Fashion, skinny leg jeans, skinny leg pants, tucked in pants to boots, What not to wear, wide leg pants Leave a comment »Guess what I witnessed today?
A lady wearing skinny dress boots, (you know the kind with a pointed toe and a stretchy leg?) with boot cut pants tucked inside!!! (they were even possibly wide leg!) They pillowed and puckered at the top of the boot and looked so uncomfortable!!
I thought it was common sense to wear something that you can actually tuck in with a boot? If not here are my tips for you: skinny pant = boot and wide pant = shoe.
p.s the dressy skinny boot isn’t really in style unless you’re pairing it with work wear. I would opt for an ankle boot or a slouchy boot.
What not to wear

Someone needs a stylist!

Brooke Hogan- so tragic. How would anyone let her leave the house in this?! Someone needs a stylist!
Mariah Carey- I’m pretty sure she’s pushing 40…do you really need to show that much skin? Someone needs (a new) stylist! Even Perez thinks so!
Mischa Barton- taking the bohemian trend to the next level! Yikes! Someone needs a stylist!
Pamela Anderson- I don’t know whats going on in the boob area…but someone needs a stylist!
I HATE BUBBLES!
Posted: September 16, 2008 Filed under: Fashion News, What was she thinking? | Tags: bubble, bubble dress, bubble hem, bubble tunic, fashion emergency, tunics, What not to wear 1 Comment »FASHION EMERGENCY—everyone must stop wearing bubble shaped dresses/skirts/tunics etc…
This trend is SO overdone and few can pull it off! PLUS so many girls are making the awful mistake of wearing bubble tunics as dresses!!! AHH! If I see one more girl with a bubble hem around their bubble butt I think I’m going to puke.
p.s If you must continue to wear the bubble- but only because you have nothing else to wear- you should never go bare legged. ALWAYS wear leggings or skinny jeans.
Rubbers

Now that it has started to rain again here in Vancouver, a major fashion no-no has come to my attention…WIDE LEG PANTS TUCKED INTO RUBBER BOOTS?!?! What the? Ok, I know you think you’re cute and trendy in your wide leg jeans (which you are) but opt for your skinnies if you MUST wear rubber boots. Or DON’T wear ugly rubbers and just suffer through the day with wet hems – a true fashionista would!
Lounge pants were made for LOUNGING.
Posted: June 9, 2008 Filed under: Trends, What was she thinking? | Tags: exercise, fashion statement, lounge pants, lululemon, sweat pants, valuer pants, yoga 2 Comments »Well, since I pretty much summed up my beef in the title, let me describe to you what I call a lounge pant.
They can either be the sweat pant type; loose all the way down in a cotton material, or they can be made with valuer and fit like flares, or they can be spandex- like lululemons. THESE STYLE PANTS WERE MADE FOR LOUNGING- EXERCISING-and YOGA! NOTHING ELSE!!!!! So stop wearing them everywhere people- that’s what DENIM was invented for!! Casual comfortable DENIM!! THEY ARE NOT A FASHION STATEMENT!
There. I said my peace. I will let the pictures speak for themselves.
Summer do’s and don’ts
Posted: May 17, 2008 Filed under: Accessories, Fashion in General, Shoes, Trends, What TO wear, What was she thinking? | Tags: baseball hats, bermudas, bikini top, bootie shorts, bra, fedora, flip flops, gladiators, shorts, sun hat, trucker hats 4 Comments »Many blinding do’s and don’ts have come to my attention since we suddenly got warm weather. The following list is my idea of simple ways to make your don’ts into do’s!
Don’t: Bootie Shorts- So we’re talking the thin cotton shorts that usually say some name brand over the butt and have a draw string waist. The public should not be forced to look and your butt cheeks as you walk by- plain and simple. THE ONLY place to be wearing these types of shorts is on the beach or as pajamas. Also, moms, you should not be letting your 10 year old walk around in shorts with a 1/4″ seam!! Thats just wrong!
Do: Bermudas and walking shorts- If you insist on wearing shorts, a pair with at least a 2″ inseam is the shortest anyone should go- no matter how hot your legs are. I personally LOVE Bermuda shorts, they cover the thigh and are flattering on every body type.
Don’t: Bikini Tops as Bras- Ok, so you’re going to the beach and there is no place to change and you are going straight home afterwards then sure- wear your bikini top under your tank; but to the mall? We you really just at the beach?? Than WHY are you wearing your bathing suit?
Do: A Bra- Yes, its that simple, you wore one all winter, why stop in the summer. If you are wearing a tube top or halter invest in a good strapless. Common sense right?
Don’t: Flip flops: Ok, I own a million pairs myself, but I’m talking to those ladies that never take their flip flops off! They are meant for the beach, or to the park or something, don’t wear them everyday of the entire summer- don’t you have a cuter option?
Do: Gladiators- If you didn’t get your chance to buy a pair last year- now is your chance, they are everywhere! Gladiators are a cute alternative to flip flops and you can dress them up or wear them with a casual look. PLUS most of them have an ankle strap, so you don’t have to worry about them falling off or randomly falling apart on you at a summer music festival! (yes…that has happened to me on multiple occasions!)
Don’t: Trucker/ baseball caps- Good on you for wearing a hat- but right now there are plenty of other options out there other then a boring old baseball cap. Plus this is usually not the most flattering hat and its also not really in style anymore!
Do: Fedora’s and sun hats- Straw fedoras and sun hats and a cute option for head gear this summer. Fedoras are great for everyday and sun hats are awesome for that summer wedding or heading out to the beach.
Well…this is just the tip of the iceberg. I am sure I could go on FOREVER with this post but these are the most popular mistakes I see daily. Feel free to comment with your additional do’s and don’ts!
Worst Dresses at The Metroploitan Musium Costume Gala 2008
Posted: May 9, 2008 Filed under: Fashion News, What was she thinking? | Tags: Baby Phat, costume gala, Fergie, Kimora Lee Simmons, MET, Piper Perabo Leave a comment »These ladies are not rated…cause they are all just BAD BAD BAD…Don’t you agree?
Yikes!! Kimora Lee Simmons does it again…What great fashion sense she has! I guess thats why Baby Phat is so high fashion 
Piper Perabo- wow. WAY to cosumey…she took the title of the gala a little to literal!
Fergie- Its a bit harsh! And aren’t gowns supposed to be flattering? Her hair stylist should be fired!
Honorable Mentions: Anna Wintour, (for looking like shrimp cocktail) Jennifer Connolly, (for bringing the BAD 90′s back) and Amanda Peet (for over accessorizing an ugly dress)
TIE DYE??? I thought that WAS dead!

10 trends not to wear…
Posted: March 21, 2008 Filed under: Fashion in General, What was she thinking? | Tags: Capri's, Fashion, GUESS, hair, Hillary Duff, lululemon, Mariah Carey, Spray Tan, tunic, Uggs, Veleur 10 Comments »Well- my job requires me to spend a lot of time in various shopping malls around Vancouver and the lower mainland, and in my adventures I see far too many trends that are WELL past their expiration date. Here are my top 10 trends that shouldn’t be trends anymore!!
10. Poof Bangs- I believe Hillary Duff trademarked this look WAY back in her Lizzy Maguire days. I understand this is an easy way to get your bangs out of your face- but their bangs! If you didn’t want bangs you shouldn’t have cut them in the first place!!
9. Kimono Sleeve- Ok, what store can you walk into and NOT find a kimono sleeve top?? They’re everywhere from Addition Elle to Holt Renfrew. If you can find something everywhere- chances are- ITS OVERDONE! This means you should stop wearing it! No matter how flattering they are! ( and why are they ALWAYS printed and have an empire waist?!)
8. The Bejeweled GUESS purse- If you own one- throw it out. No it doesn’t go with everything…and YES you overpaid for it! They are tacky, have too much going on and I bet your 10 year old sister owns one- as well as your 55 year old mom! Thats never a good sign…
7. Spray Tan- I know its great not to get wrinkles while still getting a tan, but i believe its been taken too far…Embrace your snow white skin…add a little blush and bronzer and your good to go. Besides, whats worse then that weird blotchyness you get after your 3rd shower…YUCK!
6.Stiletto Boots with Capri’s- Oh no…this went out far too long ago! Are you a business woman trying to dress up your boring work wardrobe? Buy a colorful purse and some cute shoes…stop wearing boots with your carpi’s!!!
5. UGGS- need i say more? They’re ugly- they don’t look good with your leggings and they are meant as SLIPPERS for around the house! (and pick up your feet when you walk in them young lady!!)
4.Monochromatic Veleur Jumpsuits- Kimora Lee Simmons made a bad thing come to life with Baby Phat. This is just bad bad style. If you own one- throw it out. And if it says “Baby Phat” or “Princess” on the butt of the pants- BURN IT NOW!!!
3. Skunk Hair- Cant decide if you want to be blond or brunette? Why not be both! EWE! This was cool about 8 years ago! Now the only people that have this hair is your mom and the tacky strippers who have spray tans, and wear uggs with their veleur jumpsuits!
2. LuLuLemon head-to-toe- I know its great to support a local company- but are you really doing yoga EVERY TIME you’re caught in your LuLuLemons? As cute as these clothes are for the gym- they’re FOR THE GYM! so go out there and buy a cute pair of jeans for goodness sake!!
1. Tops and Dresses- a tunic is a tunic, NOT a dress. If its long enough to be a dress on you- its TOO big for you. Tops are meant to be worn with some form or bottoms right? I think we learned this when we learned how to dress ourselves at the age of 3. Stop admiring the fashion stylings of Mariah Carey or any of the Pussycat Dolls- they are performers- with BAD fashion. So- unless you are looking for a wardrobe malfunction similar to the likes of Britney Spears…WEAR SOME PANTS!
There you have it- the worst of what I see everyday… If you disagree let me know- If you agree share the love- and if you want to add to my list- just leave a comment!
