Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet with Natalie Portman

While I'm trying to sort through my house and put things in order, I've got to admit that I'm desperate for spring.  Anything - even some small sign of hope would be great right about now.  This winter has me feeling like a hermit and I know there are plenty of others who feel the same.  So I'm taking a quick break to indulge myself because a person can only clean out closets for so long. 

This caught my eye and I'm dying to try it - the timing couldn't be more perfect since anything even hinting at spring seems like heaven right now.  The power of scent is a huge part of this and for me this new perfume looks like the a good one to try.  The advertising images of Natalie Portman for the campaign are stunning.  Enjoy a little taste of spring.

 

 

 

 

Once more all over the place

 

Can you tell I'm dying to travel and get away from all this....

SAG Awards Favourites

More award season favourites - these from the SAG awards this weekend.

Diane Lane - very elegant

Not sure who they are but I love her dress.

Octavia Spencer - this dress really suits her

Kaley Cuoco - what a pretty dress

Again, not sure who she is but the dress is really glam

Viola Davis

George Clooney & Stacy Kiebler

Natalie Portman - I absolutely love this dress - she looks so beautiful in it

Golden Moments

It's that time again.  Hollywood award season where actresses via for the best gowns, the best personal dressers, the best hairdressers, the best makeup artists, and drop tons of money on every beauty treatment known to man.  Not a bad way to start the New Year if you ask me. 

At any rate, for what it's worth, I'm going to showcase my favourites from the evening.  Sorry to say I didn't even watch the award ceremony so I can't comment on how good it was.  Football took precedence in my household this weekend.

Starting with the Golden Globe Awards - my favourites:

Nancy O'Dell

Very Ginger from Gilligan's Island - I always wanted to be Ginger.

Maria Menounos

Love this colour of yellow on her.  Not sure what you'd call that colour.

Nicole Ritchie

She looks so sophiscated and grown up.  She's come a long way.

Sarah Michelle Gellar

Wild - her child picked this dress out.  It actually really looks good on her.

Stacey Kiebler

A stunning red gown and the ultimate accessory - George Clooney - every girl should have one.

Angelina Jolie

White satin and red lipstick - this woman could wear a paper bag and still look great.

Kate Beckinsale

Soft and pretty.

Salma Hayek

Different, glamourous - sexy - very Salma

Natalie Portman

A pretty rose coloured gown.

Reese Witherspoon

Wow - Knock em dead Red

Jessica Alba

Lovely in Lavender

Helen Mirren

A Queen in Navy - always stunning, sexy and classy.

Nicole Kidman

This dress caught me off guard.  At first I didn't like it, but then I saw how much it enhances her great figure and the beautiful bead work and details and now I love it.  Way to go Nicole.
