and the Oscar goes too...

sunday was full on fabulous!

did you watch? did you win? (well in your very own ballot, that is)

did you throw a small gathering with friends and have a fun little oscar party?!

(don't forget to send me your pics so i can see!)

i was planning on posting all the red carpet wonders on here, 

BUT unfortunately there was a space issue. 

so my entire oscars PHOTO recap is on the facebook fan page (click HERE!)

all. 30. photos.

the hits, the misses, the best tresses, the best looks over all, best accessory too!

what i noticed this year was A LOT of amazing & intricate looks.

custom pieces, looks right off the runway but tweaked in their own delicate way.

and of course we were RIGHT on trend....

we had nudes, metallics, lots of beading, a lot of bold colors

messy buns/ up dos, old glamourous curls, fresh faces & a lot of CLEAVAGE. (tisk, tisk)

but one after the other was another jaw dropper. 

it really was fun to see the top nominees as they evolved their looks throughout award season.

i, of course have my absolute favorite, so i'm going to share it with you! 

as if she isn't gorgeous enough,

this petite lady with the prettiest blonde locks wore stunner after stunner and changed her look so much throughout award season, 

but every dress, accessory and hair do complemented her so well! 

who is it

..... (drum roll)......

lost in translation, or lack thereof.

how often is silence the thing you desire most but so rarely get to enjoy?

or silence is the thing you get when you are looking for responses?

do either of those sound familiar?

well i've asked around, it seems that this is the normal response.

those are the two (of many) struggles in life.

but simple enough that we could change it. right?!

so i got to thinking...

(while waiting for answers of my own and craving some quiet)

some me time to think, to reflect, to find answers in the back of my mind.

and waiting for someone else's words, after deafening silence.

these two pit falls of life.

i got to thinking about something we should really try,

and how to work it into our everyday lives.

a new mantra...

listen, explain, repeat, absorb.

sing it to yourself, in the tune of lather, rinse, repeat, as needed.

just say it over and over and then again one more time.

how hard are we making life by sitting there and not communicating?

how simple could life be, if we spoke.

talking, speaking, listening, not listening...

                                                                     concepts so far from rational,

                                                             concepts we so often don't remember.

                          seems silence is more comforting  and convenient for all parties involved

                                    but, we are no dummies -  we know silence gets us no where!

                                 NOW, i'm breaking the chain... please give in - help a gal out. 

                                                                       SPEAK WITH ME!

                                                                     so, are you lost in translation?

                                    how long have you been there, what did you do to get out?

                                                     how effective are you as a communicator? 

are these positions like a foreign language to you?
