And the Oscar goes to...

And the Academy Award goes to.... I don't know about y'all, but I'm a big fan of awards season for several different reasons! First, I enjoy the list of movies I get to compile and watch because I know they're the big contenders! And now that Jo Claire lives in Arkansas, I don't see nearly as many as I use to see! Secondly, I love reading the tabloids to get the "real story" behind who's real and who's not! But most importantly, I LOVE seeing what everyone will wear!! This is one of the few times I have some serious envy at the jewelry, gift bags, and life of luxury the pretty people of Hollywood lead! So, after all the excitment of the Oscars, we at FSB have aquired our top 5 Best Dressed:

Honorable Mention- Best Hair

Reese Witherspoon's hair was the epitome of Old Hollywood Glam!! It was literally my favorite of the evening because it was so well put together yet still youthful and fun!

Honorable Mention- Rocking the Baby Bump

 

Jenna Dewan-Tatum. Now, I would imagine picking a dress for an occasion where 1 billion people are watching is very difficult, but I can only imagine how hard is must being finding a dress while pregnant! Mrs. Tatum was litterally glowing, and she looked stunning in her black lace dress! Plus, her arm candy wasn't too shabby either! 8)

Honorable Mention- Aging Gracefully

 

Sally Field looked fantastic and so age appropriate! I can only hope to age as well as she has! The bold choice in color and shape flattered her figure and allowed her to shine in the dress! It was a great choice with enough details to give it that Hollywood glam appeal!

5. Naomi Watts

This gun metal sparkle dress was so unique! I loved this dress because the bodice made such a statement! Many of the women played it safe, but Naomi took a risk! And thankfully, it paid off making her look classic with an edgy feel at the same time!

4. Jessica Chastain

With this choice, she clearly understood how to best flatter her body and coloring. The shape of the dress is beautiful, and it helps accentuate the curves she has, while giving her curves where she needs a little help! But the gold and beaded sparkle details litterally made her glow as she made her way up and down the red carpet! All of that combined with her beautiful red hair screamed vintage Hollywood, and I'm thankful her entire vision came together!

3. Salma Hayek

Now, I'll be honest- at first glance, I was not fond of this look because I thought it aged her tremendously. However, after a longer perusal I realized how classic and beautiful she looked! It was so simple and striking, yet daring all at the same time! Not many women can wear that neckline with such severe hair, but she clearly can! She looked absolutely fantastic and took a classicly shaped dressed but brought it to the 21st century with such a modern statement neckline! It was a hit and will definitely stand the test of Oscar Fashion Time!

2. Amy Adams

Now, this is where it got really tricky for me... I debated and switched back and forth between number 1 and 2 because they were both so fabulous! Amy comes in at the number 2 spot because the detail and color of this dress was so fantastic! I adored how feminine the dress appeared with the feathery skirt and pale blue color! It was simply stunning!! No one looked like her, which is why she was such a standout!

And the Oscar for Best Dressed goes to....

1. Jennifer Garner

WOW! What else can you say? She wore one of the boldest colors on the red carpet, and the pay off was tremendous! She stood out among the many safe choices made by several celebrities! The dress was a classic shape, but it had enough to detail that it made you do a double take! And her statment necklace was breathtaking! It was a very bold choice because it could have aged her having it so close to her face, but it did anything but!The necklace made the outfit a complete and total success! And ultimately for me, she looked like one of the happiest people we saw at the Oscars all evening, which is way more important!!

Well, it's back to reality for us and the stars, but hopefully you were able to take some ideas for little things to be applied to your own lives- hair, jewelry, dress, nails, etc... Let us know what you think about everyone's attire! And we hope to see you at the store soon!

Positively Peplum!!

 

Now, if you're even somewhat in to fashion, then you know the PEPLUM is making a huge comeback! But in reality, has it ever really gone away? The peplum has a long history, dating back to the early 1800s because it was just that good- even among the high nosed Victorians! And thankfully, it has continued to pop up in fashion since then!

If you want to wear a peplum I strongly encourage you to figure out a way to make it work for you! It's being seen on the runways from fancy wear to your most basic casual day wear!

 

Firstly, if you sport this look, you've already told the world that you're smashingly fashionable! You'll appear bold and brave because its all about the curve and visual dimension it provides! If you don't have all the curves you want, then the peplum is an easy way to give that optical illusion! It will give you that voluptious body shape that is becoming more and more the rage according to fashion bloggers and evidentced by the different trends popping up everywhere!

 

 Now if you've got all the volume you can handle, it allows to accentuate what you have and even hide some parts you might not be so fond of having, i.e. your tummy! Also, it shows how much you're willing to embrace your curves and a confidence, which just can't be faked! So pick your peplum, and pick wisely because they come in a variety of forms- jackets, tops, dresses, and skirts! Find one that you're most comfortable wearing and rock this fun, flirty look!!
