Sag Awards 2012

This is my personal "Best Dressed" list for this years Sag Awards.  I am trying to catch up and see as many films as I can before The Oscars but my time is limited at the moment...feel free to make your suggestions on what to watch :)

I'm not that great with the whole "celebrity" thing so I always have to double check my names but I have taken a liking to awards shows over the last couple years because of the fashion.  So many of these dresses are truly pieces of art and I'm taken back by it at.

And *SORRY* I have not blogged in so long or gotten back to anyone here on blogger, via email, or through Etsy.  I have been very sick. I miss you all and I have been just scratching at myself to get back on the computer...though the scratching has nothing to with my illness and isn't literal any way, but you know what I mean.  I will probably blog about it later and post pictures, some I will have to do with separate links for those of you that don't care for blood.

But for now, let us take a look at my countdown of Sag Award's dresses that make my heart happy.


#5 Lea Michele in Versace.  All little too sexy for me but this color is divine on her!

#4 Jessica Chastain in Calvin Klein.  This color truly "pops" on the red carpet and I love the classic Hollywood hair style.  Well done Jess!


#3 Michelle Williams in Valentino.  Just a very sweet look all around, red on the red carpet is risky business,
but Michelle pulls it off.


#2 Emily Blunt in Oscar de la Renta.  The bold color is the perfect shade for her skin tone, I love this!


#1 Emma Stone in Alexander McQueen.  I would sell my left arm for this dress and I'm left handed.  How adorable is Emma Stone? <3

My Favorite Classic Looks From Film (Part 1)

How on earth could I not begin with Audrey's "Breakfast At Tiffany's" black dress?


 Bird's fly over the rainbow, why then oh why can't I? Judy Garland in "The Wizard Of Oz"

Ginger Rogers & Fred Astaire in "Top Hat".  2 for the price of one, they both look so incredible.

So I just watched "Titanic" for the first time within the last year and I never really got the whole Leonardo DiCaprio thing, anyways...now I get it. Watching him walk down the stairs in this film is breathtaking and lots of other things.  This film is truly a modern classic.


Julia Roberts in "Pretty Woman" was my momma's suggestion and I was on the fence about including this but after thinking about it, this was perfect because it is about one of the only 80's dress that I would consider timeless.

Part 2 coming very soon :)

Get It Together! (My New Year's Resolution)

My New Year’s Resolution was not to hit to gym more often or quit drinking soda; instead what I really need is to get organized.  I have my art stuff all over the place and I really need to start up a system that is not only easy to look at but is also easy to use.  I had a set up that worked for me before Etsy but now that I am working on a business and I have a studio to set up, I need to get it together.  I was browsing through Etsy this weekend and these are my favorite finds for  organizing your life.    
A desktop organizer from one of the best Etsy vintage shops around.



A "zen" pencil/jewelry desktop organizer from Ireland.


Beautiful clipboard for writing down all your daily plans!  Can you believe this is handmade? And only $14?



Hang it up for $2.80 a set.  From one of my favorite Etsy sellers! (where I get all my beautiful earring tags)



This is what I meant about easy to use and easy to *look* at.


I do love my fellow Michigan sellers <3



All the way from down under, these fabric organizers are pretty and useful.



Lovely color on this large storage bin.


I can see my paintbrushes in this.  And they are happy.
