Yes, that's our dining table parked in front of the living room couch... the better to see the television, my dear!
It's invitation-addressing madness over here. Old-school calligraphy style! Not to mention printing all the invitations and other materials on my little home printer... and trimming everything out myself. I must be crazy!
What better show to watch while doing tedious, mindless work? The OSCARS, dahlings! And first, the red carpet show on E!, which is not to be missed. Ryan Seacrest is my favorite red-carpet reporter. :)
Was I the only one who noticed that structure seemed to be a major theme this year, more so than usual? Rock-hard bodices seemed to be the rule rather than the exception. I felt like a lot of dresses were wearing the women, instead of the other way around. (e.g. Carrie Mulligan, Penelope Cruz, J Lo, Elizabeth Banks...)
My favorite ensembles of the night were Sandra Bullock (gorgeous! loved the bright red lipstick contrasted with her beautiful silver dress), Helen Mirren (always classy) and Meryl Streep. Poor Meryl. I root for her every year, since this was her 16th nomination. I also thought her diamond earrings looked very pretty (sparkles!) next to her white jacket once she was inside.
On to my one-liner... I want to check if anyone else noticed this... Amanda Seyfried and J.Lo both wore dresses by Armani, and they even appeared to be made of the bubble-wrap material. Did anyone else feel an urge to pop the bubbles? I thought maybe it was just me, until I saw this article on MyStyle. Apparently Lady Gaga rocked a similar look by Armani for the Grammys.
I couldn't help but think of this...
An evolution of fashion? Of course, Lady Gaga takes it all the way to Outer Space. (Which is one of the reasons I love her.)
What do you think of Armani going all 2001, a Space Odyssey? And what was your favorite Oscar ensemble?

lady gaga takes it to outer space: hehe!
Those Armani dresses do seem to be made of bubble-wrap material. I'm not fussed on them.
My fave was Rachel McAdam's Elie Saab gown. Soooo beautiful!
It looks like you are in major production mode for your wedding. I really admire all this DIY energy! Yay, Ms.Mer!
How's the dress-shopping going?
hee hee hee. I wasn't crazy about any of them - and you're right, very similar.
Wow, printing your own invitations! Good for you! But then, you are graphic artiste. Mine were 'homemade' via ebay! (:
I agree with you Dani, Rachel McAdams did look lovely. The proportions/color looked great with her figure and skin-tone.
No luck for me on wedding dress yet. (insert moan of agony here) I have been all over the place, including a trip down to LA. I *almost* bought a beautiful Reem Acra sample, and it was somewhat over my budget, but then after adding in hundreds of dollars' worth of seamstress fees, it would have been too much cheddah. If only I could get a dress like McAdams' in all white! (for about $1-2K!) A girl can dream, right? ;) I will definitely update the blog when I find "the dress." :-)
PFP, ebay is a good option. I had never thought of that... oh well, in too deep now! :)
