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!

Welcome to the warm weather months. Outside, you will roast. Inside, you will freeze. The air conditioning will be your constant nemesis, as it “conditions” the air to a temperature that is primarily suitable for men. Luckily, this cardigan can keep you warm even when your fiery resentment wanes.

The Beauty Edit: Neck Creams

Nora Ephron was right: I feel bad about my neck. As I move through my forties, the creases have turned into chasms. The skin sags like a pair of sweatpants with aging elastic. It’s not great. But it’s just a natural part of getting older. Over the past year, it feels like I’ve tried every […]
