Best Dressed {Oscars 2015}

As the most glamorous red carpet event of the season, the Academy Awards is always a star-studded fashion affair.  Personally, I couldn't take my eyes off of the dreamy long-sleeved gowns.  My two favorite looks of the night were Chrissy Teigen, who attended with performer John Legend, and Emma Stone, nominee for Best Actress in a Supporting Role for Birdman.  Who had your favorite look from this year's Oscars?

DIY Halloween Costume

Inspired by one of my favorite movies of all time, Breakfast at Tiffany's, came my favorite costume of all time.  The ridiculously charming and sophisticated socialite, Holly Golightly, has been my go-to costume for the past few years.

Tuning in to your inner Ms. Golightly is pretty simple and can be created with things you probably already own.  Start with a black dress, black tank and skirt, or even a black tulle tutu.  Cat-eye sunglasses are a must, heels, the tiara and a glitzy statement necklace, possibly a pearl and rhinestone combination.  Black elbow-length gloves and a cigarette holder you can find at most costume stores.  Through the movie, Holly's orange tabby cat, Cat, plays a big role.  Cat was a fun addition to the costume (a toy cat, not real one).  Other optional accessories would be a lunch size paper bag with a croissant or danish of sorts, and an empty coffee shop style paper coffee cup.  Style your hair in a high bun, secure on your tiara and you've transformed in to Holly Golightly for the evening.

Do you have an all time favorite costume?  What do you plan on dressing as this year?
