87th Academy Awards- What I Hope They Wear

Is anyone else freaking out about the fashion possibilities that will grace the red carpet tonight as Hollywood's finest arrive at the 87th Academy Awards? Every awards season I put together my picks for what I hope they will wear...and maybe this year some of them will listen to me.

Kerry Washington Oscar de la Renta Fall 2015 RTW

Jennifer Aniston Pamella Roland Fall 2015 RTW

Felicity Jones in Elie Saab Spring 2015 Couture

Emma Stone in Elie Saab Spring 2015 Couture

 Scarlett Johansson Elie Saab Spring 2015 Couture

Okay, it's pretty obvious that anything and everything by Elie Saab wins my heart over every time. What do you hope the attendees wear tonight???

Live From #snapshotfashionparty

Yesterday afternoon we celebrated the Oscars the best way I knew how...with yummy hors d'oeuvres, champagne cocktails, cute outfits, fabulous friends, and prizes!

I'm so obsessed with these flower poofs. They took me a good hour and a half to put together...and I think I'll let them up for a while. Maybe I'll let them up until they call down....because they are too cute!

My husband and I worked extra hard to make a ton of yummy food (this isn't even all of it).

My two handsome guys!

Now I'm not sure if this is the exact same dress, because I got mine about a year and a half ago. The gold one on their website just doesn't look as metallic as mine. But maybe it's just the photo.

The best dressed winner voted during the party was Chris! Her beaded vintage dress was amazing! Congrats Chris! She was so excited to win prizes from Primp & Polish, Boy Meets Girl, and Grey Jewelry. A huge thanks again to the party's amazing sponsors! 

And in case you weren't aware, Boy Meets Girl is giving all my readers something special: 10% off your order. Use the promo code snapshotfashion at checkout.

I hope you were able to follow along yesterday with the party via instagram and Twitter (#snapshotfashionparty). So many more photos are on there. Be sure to check it out!

What They Should Be Wearing- Oscars 2014

As I said in my previous post, the Oscars are tomorrow and the highlight of the day for me will be the red carpet! I always love to guess what my favorite actresses will be wearing (or at least what they should be wearing) on their big night. So...let's get to it...

Jennifer Lawrence in Zuhair Murad Spring 2014 Couture

Lupita Nyong'o in Oscar de la Renta Fall 2014 Ready-To-Wear

Amy Adams in Elie Saab Spring 2014 Couture

Anne Hathaway in Christian Siriano Fall 2014 Ready-To-Wear

Kate Hudson in Jenny Packham Fall 2014 Ready-To-Wear

Angelina Jolie in Zuhair Murad Spring 2014 Couture

What do you think of my picks? What would you want the attendees to wear if you could style them?

#snapshotfashionparty

One of my favorite times of year is almost here...the red carpet at the Oscars! In the past years when award shows have had their red carpets I have celebrated in a number of ways with my readers, from Twitter chats to Google Hangouts. This year I wanted to step up my game a little and host a fun cocktail party during the red carpet. Yummy champagne cocktails, delicious hors d'oeuvres, and adorable outfits...this is how I like to ring in the red carpet! It's going to be a good time.

I wanted to thank my amazing party sponsors, Primp and Polish, Boy Meets Girl, and Grey Jewelry, who have all generously donated prizes for the party's best dressed. Be sure to check out all of their links.

I wish you all could join me. Since that can't happen, you can definitely join me virtually! There will be posts all afternoon on my instagram and Twitter pages. Please follow along #snapshotfashionparty. I'll also be putting up a recap blog post...so stay tuned for that!!!

*Also, Boy Meets Girl has wanted to gift something to all of my readers. They are giving everyone 10% off when you enter to code snapshotfashion.

What They Should Be Wearing To The Oscars

Can you believe that Academy Awards are on tomorrow night? Typically I watch them...and I probably will this year too (or at least a little bit of it). I do have a few gripes about the Oscars:

1) They last FOREVER...
2) I haven't seen any of the movies.
3) It's on when one of my favorite shows is on (Girls).
4) The speeches are boring.
5) Did I say it lasts forever???

The part of this award show that is my favorite starts before the actual show. I'm talking about the red carpet! Isn't that the real reason we all tune in anyway? You gotta see the dresses!

I thought it would be fun to pick dresses that I feel the Hollywood starlets should be wearing...and then tune in to see if I'm right. Here are my picks for this year:

Anne Hathaway in Christian Dior Spring 2013 Couture

Amy Adams in Valentino Spring 2013 Couture

Jennifer Lawrence in Oscar de la Renta Fall 2013 Ready-To-Wear

Jessica Chastain in Giambattista Valli Spring 2013 Couture

Naomi Watts in Jenny Packham Fall 2013 Ready-To-Wear

What do you think of my dress picks? I am seriously in love with that bright pink Oscar de la Renta dress...and would be so happy if anyone would wear it there. What do you think the stars should be wearing on their big night???

Will you be watching the awards or just the red carpet?

Red Carpet Oscar Hangout

What They Should Be Wearing- Academy Awards

I don't know about you, but I am so excited for the Oscars tomorrow!!! Well, let me rephrase that...I'm sort of excited about the actual show (it's always SO LONG...) but the anticipation for the red carpet is killing me. I know there are sure to be some hits and misses when it comes to the gowns selected, so I thought I'd help the celebrities out with some fashion that I know would look fantastic on them. I'm excited to see if they pick my looks (haha!).

Emma Stone- Armani Prive Spring 2012 Couture 

Michelle Williams- Elie Saab Fall 2011 Couture

Natalie Portman- Monique Lhuillier Pre-Fall 2012

Penelope Cruz- Zac Posen Pre-Fall 2012

Angelina Jolie- Jason Wu Pre-Fall 2012

Cameron Diaz- Giambattista Valli Spring 2012 Couture

Octavia Spencer- Elie Saab Spring 2012 Couture

What do you hope your favorite actresses wear tomorrow? Can you tell that I'm hoping to see some color on that red carpet???

Lovely in Lilac

I have been dreaming about lilac dresses ever since I saw Mila Kunis in her fantastic Academy Awards gown on Sunday. This purple hue is so soft and beautiful, and the lace is so lovely. This dress is definitely my favorite look from the Oscars...and not just this year...but probably of all time!

I know that lilac shade is going to be a huge color for spring. I remember back in high school I had an adorable lilac suit (cropped jacket and mini skirt...very 1960's inspired) that I wore all the time. How I wish I still had it. Well, looks like I need to get a lilac outfit into my wardrobe. Here are some great lilac dresses that would look great in your closet (and mine).

 Asos Mesh Waterfall Babydoll Dress- $71.72

Ruffle Dress from Delia's- $44.50

 Elizabeth & James Foliage Priscilla Fringed Silk Dress from The Outnet- $375 $187.50

Freezing on the Red Carpet

I was so surprised to hear that it's going to be a chilly evening tonight on the red carpet in Los Angeles. We're talking in the 40s people! My first thought was, what are the actresses going to be wearing to stay warm? Long sleeves, maybe? Or will they opt for a jacket or shawl of some sort? I personally know that if I were there I'd be wearing SOMETHING (anything) on my arms. I know that when my arms are cold it makes my entire body cold. I thought that these jackets would be totally wearable over a stunning Oscar gown and not distracting.

What do you think? What would you wear over a red carpet evening gown? Would you just wear long sleeves? Or would just suck it up, show your bare arms, and freeze for fashion?
