And the Oscar goes to…

Ever since I was little I always wondered what it would be like to walk the red carpet. How would I feel with all those cameras. Will I be so excited I can hardly contain myself? But most importantly what would I wear. Me I LOVE sparkle and red so my ideal red carpet look would be including red and silver together. I figure if your going to a show be the showstopper.

Weddington Way

1. No red carpet look is complete without a beautiful dress. Weddington Way’s Social 8130 dress in Burgundy is my go to red carpet gown. With it’s asymmetrical skirt and mesh like fabric accenting the design is to me a true showstopper. I have always loved asymmetrical looks and with the mesh fabric’s rippling effect I would feel like I’m not walking but gliding down the red carpet. Those photographers wouldn’t know what hit them. hahahaha

2. How can you walk a red carpet without shoes? And now it’s time to pull out those sparkles baby! With Carmen Steffens’ “Victoria” style shoes you may just blind someone..with your feet. This line of shoes are very comfortable and have the perfect height when it comes to heels. With just the right amount of sparkle, these heels can go from awards show to after party instantly.

3. We have shoes, we have a dress now it’s time for some jewels and what better jewelry to wear than a family heirloom. These rhinestones belonged to my grandmother. Even though they are very old they give off a certain elegance that, I find, lacks in some of the jewels you see today. Vintage is the new fashion and I think these particular rhinestones will turn any gown into red carpet glory!

Eyehadow

4. For those countless numbers of photos, a perfect makeup look is required. I say accentuate your best feature and I find mine to be my eyes. With this bold silver and black look the whole outfit ties together. Eye makeup, when chosen and put on right, can bring out every color you have chosen. Black and red always go well together and of course the silver tie giving this look an amazing photographic look. On the red carpet its all about those pictures.

Hair accessory

5. With my hair being shorter sometimes being able to give it a pretty style can be hard but when you add an accessory it’s all good! I chose this red and grayish flower clip to help show of the red in the dress but help tie in the silver.

Crackle nails

6. Last and definitely not least…NAILS!!! Snap, crackle and POP with some crackle nails. The perfect combo of silver with red crackle is the best finisher for my red carpet look. Its simple yet bold making this whole outfit scream “look at me”.

So there it is. My “one of a kind” red carpet look. Red, silver and black you ain’t going back. Work it COVERGIRL! For more info on the dress visit http://www.weddingtonway.com/all/bridesmaid-dresses.

I was not there to witness these amazing works but one look at the photos and I was blown away! The creativity, the thought and just the overall appearance of these creations reminds me of something you would see in fashion magazines, T.V. and movies. I swear every mannequin had a theme. A complete makeover. Everything from hair, makeup and even accessories were included. Honestly, I had to remind myself that they are students! I cannot wait to see who wins and am very excited for Gina. This is going to be an awesome event! I will keep everyone updated with info on the event and more!

Summer Style from AVON

0-32

My aunt surprised me the other day when she came over with a bunch of Avon goodies. In the bag was a complete outfit including a gorgeous blue dress, sandals to match, a great handbag, and a beautiful necklace! To top it off, there were even sugar cookies that were shaped as the sandals, dress, and the bag I got!

I love the neckline of the dress because it is adjustable and braided, and the belt is removable… how could you go wrong for a summer dress!? I was so glad the dress fit me, but especially the sandals! They are adorable and can go with almost anything! I am not too crazy about necklaces, but I loved this one because of the colors of the beads.

The handbag has a cute tassel to add a little style, too. The Blue Goddess Dress, Beaded Escape Toe Loop Sandals, Beaded Baubles Statement Necklace, and Handbag can all be found on Avon.com for reasonable prices!
