best dressed- the oscars!

as megan and i were watching the red carpet yesterday with our family there was a lot of commentary going on! lots of oooh-ing and aaah-ing. lots of "what was she thinking"? we were just shouting at the t.v. as the stars were being interviewed by ryan secrest. tons of fun! for the most part, our opinions on best and worst dressed were the same. we differed on just a few...so here we go! our choices for best and worst dressed...

best dressed

penelope cruz in l'wren scott
(um, she gave birth a month ago. give me a break!)

mila kunis in elie saab

hailee steinfeld in marchesa
(if you haven't seen her yet in "true grit", check it out!)

amy adams in l'wren scott
(also just recently had a baby).

celine dion in armani prive
(she had twins in october! can you believe it? i thought they were via surrogate. i was wrong.)

cate blanchett in givenchy couture
(were we split on this one, megan? if so, sorry. i love it!) 
*update...i love this dress and i love her ~ megan bird

worst dressed

nicole kidman in christian dior

jennifer hudson in versace
(she's lost 80 pounds. she looks amazing. the color is great. but that cleavage is just wrong).

michelle williams in chanel
(we went back and forth on this one a lot. we love michelle. her pixie cut is the best. she is adorable. but this dress does not flatter her at all. at all. and i am so glad i cannot see her whole shoe because they look really bad).

marisa tomei in (a very ill-fitting) vintage charles james couture

honorable mentions/dresses we couldn't agree upon

scarlett johansson in dolce and gabbana
(megan loved it. i didn't love it. she is gorgeous though. and we both agreed we love her new do!)

sandra bullock in vera wang
(not my fave. but megan made a good point that it could be much better in a different color...)

gwyneth paltrow in calvin klein
(i would love this if she took off that dumb brooch at the waist. megan does not care for gwyneth).

mandy moore in monique lhuillier
(yes, she is gorgeous. the dress is pretty. but i don't love that nude netting at the top. it is very figure skater-y).

hillary swank in gucci
(love the top. not crazy about the feathers).

people i didn't see on the red carpet but am loving today

rhea durham in naeem khan

camila alves in kaufman franco
(simple and stunning).

worst makeup

sharon stone in way too much black eyeliner. and i love me some black eyeliner!


i feel like i may have missed some...megan? any you would like to add or comment on???

did you watch? who did you think was the best and worst dressed???

oscar night!/birthday party!

last night my mom threw a birthday party for megan bird. since it was oscar night we made it into an oscar party as well (of course!)! so much fun. we got all dressed up and headed over to our mom and dad's for a delicious meal and, of course, the oscars!

i attempted a quick photo shoot at home but somebody interrupted...




time for your close up, mimi!


our niece, emma and her mom, carrie strike their best movie star pose! 
(carrie defended her outfit by saying that she was wearing a dress, it just happened to be over jeans. dressing up is not really her thing!)...


emma with grandpa and grandma. my dad really went all out. check out that beret, tie and pocket square! but i think the shades really make the outfit...


my mom dazzled in red!


grandpa and mimi...


the gorgeous megan bird sparkles in a free people dress.


i love this picture of her. so pretty!


i stepped out in isaac mizrahi (for target, but whatever)...



and the lovely child star, emma, strikes yet another pose! 



megan steps out with her main man.



two birds!


being silly...


all of our child stars (mimi was already in bed)...


and now for our close ups!




we had such a great time! did you watch the oscars??? what did you think?

inspiration monday

i am doing a very simple, yet super cute inspiration picture today. i chose this outfit for a few reasons. one, i want spring to come. have i mentioned that before? seriously, i am so excited for spring! warm weather, sandals, bare legs and arms. ok, maybe the world isn't ready for the sheer whiteness that are my legs. but you will get them today...apologies! the main reason, though, that i chose this inspiration is because i wanted to show off my lovely new skirt. it was one of the many wonderful birthday presents i got from my sisters. and. i. love. it. so without further ado...here is the inspiration...
lauren conrad. i have never seen her on tv, but i do love how she dresses. she's always simply dressed, but also very elegant; and she pretty much always looks carefree and beautiful. i love this look. is it a skirt? is it a dress? whatever it is, it sure looks cute!

and here's my take... 
did i mention my white legs? i am kind of getting used to them after 37 years together. maybe hollywood will unite and decide that super pale is the new tan! regardless of the legs, i love this outfit. i plan on wearing it numerous times over the summer. it's a perfect garage saling outfit. ahhh, garage saling. seriously, hurry up spring!
have a great monday, all!
xoxo,
megan bird
