Golden Globes wrap-up!

It's once again the kick-off to award shows 2012! 

and the Golden Globes are always the best way to start!  Unfortunately all in all I was overall disappointed in the dress, but I of course have the full wrap up from last night's red carpet!  





Ricky.. oh Ricky!  Although one had to notice the lack of screen time he had this year.. guess that was the only way NBC could filter him.. the above scene with Jimmy Fallon and Adam Levine, some of the funnier moments of last night's production..


The Artist, after last night makes me want to see this even more..however my couch and a bottle of wine might need to follow do to the silence!  I am very excited and proud to see a film like this make such a big hit at the Globes!

Ok so now for the dresses...


Oh madonna.. sorry but she drove me absolutely nuts last night.. I give it to her for trying to make 2012 her year.. we shall wait for the Super Bowl.. but the one glove and the oversized cross.. too much!  
Nicole..dress: NO, body: WOW! 


Grammys.. NOT Globes!  This dress was just too much.. plus the big rockstar hair 


The headbands.. personally the only one I thought actually worked was Charlize's.. Michelle's was just too much, the dress although not my favorite was beautiful but the black velvet headband just didn't work!  


Although not everyone agreed.. I did like Claire's dress especially the back, I won't lie if it wasn't for the open back probably would of hated it, but it saved the dress!


Men in tux's.. thats all!



Honestly did NOT like either, sorry Angelina, but hated the color block.. not needed, and then the perfectly matched lips and clutch.. 


Both of these dresses were OK for me.. I love Michelle, and so happy for her win, and did you all hear her speech, crying! but the dresses again not overly impressed


Zoey... as much as i ADORE her, because I honestly do, and The New Girl, has to be one of the best new shows out there.. 
but the sideburns.. or whatever those things were, it was awful... and the dress I give it to her for being unique but NO... its the Globes we can do better!



Two more actress's that are truly STARS.. especially Meryl, love her (although her speech was..umm ya!) but unfortunately once again not loving either dress.. Julianne Moore's stylish dressed her in a cocktail dress and then thought..Oops I forgot it was the Globes..lets add some material and make it a gown?? really... 
(earrings were the best part of that entire outfit)


Angelina and Natalie must of either had the same stylist, or they got the same memo, again sadly did not like this look.. Natalie is GORGEOUS and this dress just made her look large and just too much pink...



Love, Love, Love Morgan... especially with the shades..looking good!



didn't think it was best dressed, but I did think Sophia looked great, but with that body how can she not?  I also really liked her hair sleek and straight!


two VERY beautiful couples.. I do have to say that George and Staci definitely beat out Brangelina...


Rooney... Liked that she stayed with her black and cut-outs but the bottom teacup RUINED the dress.. why it didn't just stay long and sleek, don't ask me.. 



another one that I love.. but the too relaxed hair just did not match with the dress...



Charlize, by FAR the best for me and of my house last night.. she looked gorgeous, she took a chance and it was great!  Her skin of course looked great and I thought the head piece actually did work!



Just so happy for her win, her speech was great and what an inspiration.. wasn't crazy about the color.. but the fit looked great on her!

so that wraps it up.. I know there were MANY more.. but I didn't want to bore you too much with all my commentary!  Hope you all enjoyed it, and hear is to many more shows this season.. and really hoping to see some better fashions.. come on 2012 we can do better than this..

Congrats to all the nominees and winners, I definitely have some shows and movies that I will be putting on my must-sees soon!

Happy Monday and MLK to everyone as well!

WTWW..stripes, stripes and more stripes

Ok so its not brilliantly new but as we come across a new year so do new fashions, but that being said, so do some classic good fashions keep re-appearing!  
In today's What to Wear I want to display some more unusual ways to wear stripes.. because hey we all have our go to striped shirt these days..but how about mixing it up a little?

See even our ancestors knew that stripes weren't just made for shirts! shoes, dress, hat AND umbrella.. overload? no such thing!



Try stripes as your ENTIRE outfit.. LOVE these long maxi stripes!


Black & White, Stripes, pleats..OH MY! Love this skirt! and how about striped tights!

 Striped shorts? Yes!

 Love the color combinations of the bright green, navy and mustard yellow! Plus the necklaces add a new element

Striped wedding dress? who would'va thought! I actually love this dress for a more casual and shorter look!


Loving the tan and black combo, plus the checkered button down, definitely a fun new way to wear patterns and stripes!


Happy Wednesday my dears! 

so happy to get back to posting for the new year!

National Hot Toddy Day?!

Ok so I know this is random, but because I am a newbie (as of two years now..) to this great innovation, I thought it was about finally time I shared it with those of you (maybe a few maybe more) that still haven't heard of this wonderful innovation: Hot Toddy!  Maybe your grandmother refereed to it, maybe not? But I will say after my first "real" winter in the north I came to love these drinks, especially when you got that annoying scratchy throat or annoying cold that wouldn't go away!




and whats even more fun about TODAY is that it is actually  
NATIONAL HOT TODDY DAY! (who would'va thought..) 
it does seem like everything has their own day now, but even more reason to try one of these drinks out... but I will say normally I recommend waiting until you feel slightly under the weather or very chilled!

There are a few "recipes" for this drink, the most standard is: 

Hot Toddy
½ shot Bourbon
1 tbsp honey
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 cup hot water

I have also switched this up a little by following this recipe:
1 shot of Bourbon (preferably Makers)
Peppermint Tea
lemons 
(with or without, depends on if I have them in the fridge)



and for those who don't believe me that is actually a national day well Here, thanks Local 10!

Happy Hot Toddy Day! 

I will also be posting more today so be on the look-out! need to catch up!
