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?

MTV Video Music Awards Best Dressed

The MTV Video Music Awards are known for the "anything goes" fun, fearless and edgy fashion.  This year, there were some hits, mostly misses, and a few too many of the "what is happening with this outfit right now" questions to be answered...which we probably don't actually want answered.

Vixen alert!  Cher Lloyd stunned in a leather red minidress by Ina Soltani.  Layered rings and black pumps kept the look simple and stylish.  Finished with tousled waves and smoky eyes, rocker-chic Cher is my best dressed top pick.

Nick Jonas and Olivia Culpo.  I absolutely love the black and white colorblock dress with the plunging neckline and Jonas is dressed to the nines, but over all, the look is too formal for the VMAs.  The dress had potential to work, had she thrown on a big chunky cuff, a clutch with some spikes, or had an edgier hairstyle rather than the Old Hollywood Glam.  Perfect for the Emmys.  Perhaps they had their red carpet events mixed up.

Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo.  Here's a couple that got it right.  The VMAs are about bold, sexy fashion...leather and Adam Levine.

And with the best dressed, you have the barely dressed:

Wiz Khalifa and Amber Rose.  Amber Rose wore chains but evidently it's considered a dress by Laura Dewitt.

Best Dressed: Oscars 2014

Films and fashion.  Here's Allison's Best-Dressed list from the 2014 Oscars.

Retro, white, plunging neckline, and a cape?  Kate Hudson killed it in this sexy Versace gown, styled flawlessly with Old Hollywood glamour.

Emma Watson in Vera Wang and can we talk about about the major jewelry happening?  She rocked 5 different jewelry brands: Anita Ko, Chanel, Repossi, Bouchoron, and Solange...as for hair and makeup?  Flawless.  Bravo.

Hi, Jared Leto.  The Oscar winner looked dashing in a crisp white tuxedo jacket paired with a deep ruby satin bowtie.  "I always love that old school vibe and I never ever wear suits.  It's a fun opportunity to look old school and classic," he commented of his fashion statement.

Zac Efron dressed to the nines in a neat navy suit and skinny tie paired with Johnston & Murphy shoes.

{New Hotspot: Taha's Twisted Tiki}
Beach atmosphere, adorable coconut cups, over 150 rums to choose from...It's a tropical vacation without leaving the Midwest...The Queen's Park Swizzle=Perfection

{Rant and Rave: The Tinder Application}

If I tell one more person how single I am and they pull our the "Tinder" app, they're going to get smacked in the face.  You've been warned...not literally, RELAX.  I don't Tinder and I don't dress like a cat, so clearly I'll be single forever.  I tweet, Facebook and am a sarcastic smartass, that's enough for me and most others to handle.  I refuse to give in to the new age "Hot or Not" dot com
...for now at least.

{Hairstyle of the Week:  Basket Braid}
Braid "pigtail" type braids, leaving a length of hair down the middle, then braid all 3 sections together.  Voila!  Easy, quick, cute.

{Grammy Awards Best Dressed:  John Legend and Chrissy Teigen}

{Favorite Grammy Performance: Imagine Dragons and Kendrick Lamar}
Doode...The stage was on fire and I love watching T-Swizzle can get down in a ball gown.
