Happy Hour: Golden Globes and Gowns

Jan 11, 2013

 

Lanvin Crystal-embellished silk faille gown ($8,380)

Ladies, it’s time to bring the glamour.  This Sunday is the Golden Globes, the official start to awards season.  And as usual, I will be liveblogging the red carpet arrivals starting at 6:00PM EST.

 Technically, this is a wedding gown, but it’s pretty incredible, so it would probably be right at home on a red carpet.  I love the fitted bodice, the draping, the chiffon trim and, surprisingly enough, the giant bow. (I know, I’m shocked too.)

If you’re looking for a similar dress–Inauguration is right around the corner–this berry-colored gown has a flowing shape and decidedly smaller bow, and you can rent this modern one shoulder with tiny bow at the waist.

 

I searched the Interwebs for “Golden Globes cocktail” and turned up this tasty looking libation called a Wistful Winslet.  It contains Beefeater Gin, pink grapefruit juice, simple syrup and champagne.  I’d need to sub out the gin for vodka, but it still looks like a deliciously diverting way to spend a relaxed Sunday afternoon.

Have a safe and happy weekend, see you Sunday at 6:00PM.

Happy Hour

This week, I fell mindlessly into my phone more than I think I ever have. My screen time went from 3.5 hours per day to 5 hours per day. But the increased eye strain did lead to some good finds. Just going to leave this right here.  (I really need to work on “Didn’t make […]

The Find: A Striped Tee

Without question, the most worn item in my wardrobe is a black-and-white striped tee. I wear it in winter under sweaters, in spring with white jeans, in summer with black shorts. I’ve been wearing the same one for years (it’s the best). But they don’t make it anymore. So here are some options for replacement.
