This Sunday, the Golden Globes will kick off the 2012 award season in all of its sequined, chiffon-ed and stiletto-ed glory.  Because I’ll need to post on my day off (Monday), I decided to take today off.  Now, for those of you who aren’t familiar with what awards season means to CHS, allow me to elaborate.

This Sunday at 5:00PM, 6:00PM, I’ll be hosting a liveblog so that we can snark and compliment the red carpet styles of the famous and infamous.  Then, on Monday, I’ll post my favorite looks, the looks that were just meh and the looks that made me want to slap a stylist.

Predictions for this year’s red carpet? Pastels, prepare for a lot of Easter egg-colored dresses.  More jewelry, the celebs have been wearing a little less bling since the recession started, but that can’t last.  I expect to see more jewelry this year than we saw last time.  With the popularity of shows like Boardwalk Empire, The Great Gatsby movie in production and the Ken Burns documentary on Prohibition, the 1920s are hot right now.  I expect to see some Roaring 20s inspired garb coming down that carpet.

Hopefully, I’ll see you ladies back here on Sunday for the liveblog and on Monday for the recap.  Enjoy your weekend!

    Did you make a 2 ways for the leopard skirt? Would not complain if you could tide us over with that…

The Beauty Edit: An Under-Eye Concealer That Actually Works

My dark under eye circles have been the bane of my existence since I was 12. Is the cause lack of sleep? Dehydration? Sinus issues? Stress? Who the hell knows. But there they are, every day, telling the world that I am an exhausted working Mom.

The Range: A Business Look from Boden

Every now and again, I spot a piece on sale and I have to have it. I need it. I cannot live without it. Recently, I spotted a jersey tee at Boden that takes a casual top to the next level, and I just needed to share.

Saw It On Social: The Battle of the Spendy Swimsuits

Sloane loves the pool. She jumps from the deck into the water with a crash, never considering her own safety, only to emerge on the surface, shouting “Again!” The pool is my daughter’s happy place. But no place where I need to wear a swimsuit in public is a happy one for me.

The Mondays: July 22, 2024

The Crowdstrike/Microsoft Meltdown forced me to take a few days off this weekend. No laptop. No billable hours. So we packed Sloane up for a visit to a local llama farm, stopped by the pool, went for coffee, etc. Few things are as funny as watching a 23-month old feed carrots to a ravenous rescue […]
