There is still plenty of time to whip up a simple yet glamorous Oscar party! Kevin Sharkey’s house warming party provides the perfect template for a party short on time but big on charming details, with tons of white and silver balloons, an Oreo cookie cake, plenty of chilled Champagne and simple Hors d’Oeuvres like Deviled Eggs. A quick trip to the store, a few movie loving friends, and about 30 minutes of prep time will have you ready to watch the Academy Awards in style. The only question is which cookie would you use to make that fantastic cake? I am thinking three tiers of Thin Mints would be delicious and stylish!

I love this photo of Liv Tyler for Proenza Schouler so much I’d like to frame it! Not only is she beautiful, but looking at it just makes me feel so peaceful and happy, like taking a deep breath of fresh morning air. I wish there was a spot where I could go early in the morning and just close my eyes and breathe for a bit like this, I think that would be such a lovely start to the day.

Click your heels and believe ladies, it worked for Dorothy, it might work for us too, right? Okay, maybe not, but if there was a pair of shoes that could magically transport us to the Oscars this Sunday it would be these Swarovski crystal encrusted Christian Louboutin Sexy Strass Pumps. Amazing, no?

In my Oscar daydreams I would be preparing for Sunday by writing and re-writing my acceptance speech, practicing how to arrange my disappointed face into a more gracious expression just in case (don’t you hate how the camera immediately focuses on the person who didn’t win, so awful), and getting fitted into one of these four Elie Saab Spring 2011 gowns! No doubt driving my stylist insane with my inability to decide between them*. Which one would you choose? Or perhaps you have your eye on another fantastic gown? Do tell, the sky is the limit, after all we are only dreaming!
*actually perhaps it is better to host the awards instead of being nominated, that way you can change as many times as you come on and off stage and wear all the glorious gowns your heart desires!

It started with a gasp and a sigh over that fantastic pleated peach Chloe dress, and spiraled into a full fledged peach craving! I can’t wait to sit outside eating a sweet ripe peach (the kind that is so delicious, but so embarrassing to eat because the juice drips everywhere), but for now I think I would happily settle for one of these peachy treats. My cheeks could definitely use a bit of Benefit’s Georgia powder to wake them from their pale winter slumber!
