oscars

I Love Oscar Sunday! I'm going to watch all of the coverage I can get my hands on. E! is starting specials right now - at 2pm. The Awards start at 8 and I found a printable ballot for all you followers! I've already printed it out, circled my winners, and highlighted what the critics are expecting. There are a few overlaps where the one I want to win is the one the professionals chose.

My picks for the top 3 categories are: Toy Story 3 for Best Picture, Colin Firth for Best Actor, and Natalie Portman for Best Actress.

I'm also incredibly excited to see who will be wearing what, and who they'll arrive with - the shoes, the jewels, and of course the dresses, everything is going to be beautiful and spectacular! I hope to see some bold colors, big diamonds, and amazing heels. My favorite dress so far this awards show season was Emma Stone in Calvin Klein at the Golden Globes. I think it looks absolutely fabulous on her. She might be a little too tan for the color but the dress looks Stunning. It's like a second skin. I hope someone at today's awards can pull out something this awesome.

A few years ago I tried on an Oscar-worthy dress and of course I couldn't buy it because it cost $5,000 on sale but it was nice to dream for a little while.
Enjoy the Oscars my loves!

Cameos

My new fashion fave... cameo.

I got a pair of cameo earrings recently and I think they're super cute - not to mention totally classy. My guess is that you're going to start seeing them everywhere! P.S. Sorry this is such a bad picture!


This was the first piece that piqued my interest...

Hallelujah

This is one of my absolute favorite songs sung by one of my absolute favorite singers. It gives me chills every time I hear it. Have a listen and let me know if it's as moving for you...




The whole concert was terrific and of course the celebrities convinced me to donate.

sled dogs killed


I recently read an article about a dog sledding tragedy in Canada. (the link is at the bottom of this post) It's not what you think, no people were harmed. Tragically, 100 dogs were slaughtered because business was slow. Apparently during the Olympics in 2010, the dog sled for entertainment business was booming, and after the big event was over, the business in British Columbia slumped again. This led to the inhumane killing of innocent dogs who were born and raised for our entertainment. "The dogs were repeatedly shot and had their throats slashed before being dumped into a mass grave." The killings were brutal and the employee who was ordered to do it later sued the company and was seeking Post Traumatic Stress counseling.


I can NOT believe that this is true! I'm especially upset by it because I was just up there in September and I got to ride a dog sled. It's so sad because there are so many people throughout the country who would adopt these dogs! Here is the original article that I read, please check it out...
