Now to my Favorite part the Fashion!! 

I thought that I would separate my BEST Dressed with my 5 Best dressed woman from Film and 5 from TV. I find this was only fair since there was just way too much fashion out there to pick 5 Best from both.  I did the same for my worst Dressed Lets Begin!

BEST DRESSED- TV

1. Nina Dobrev In Elie Saab- I absolutely love this dress.  And Nina has the perfect Figure to pull it off.  the colour was bright but not over the top.  Simple and elegant she picked the right dress





2. Sarah Hyland In Dolce&Gabbana This Modern Family cutie showed that even the Young can pick the right dress I love the colour purple and how she looks sophisticated  and grown up. Well Done!


3. Tina Fey in Oscar de la Renta- The funny Greek Goddess wowed in this Black number and showed that funny can be stunning. 

4.  Jane Krakowski in Kaufmanfranco- Now this is a dress The 30 Rock Beauty looks ravishing! I loved the peachy color on this and the cut and the way it fell just everything!



5. Lea Michele in Valentio- Now doing some research on the web I noticed that Our little Gleek landed on some people's Worst Dressed for this choice.  Not to worry Lea I sing your praises in this bright pink number! 


Alas now I am going all Mean Girls as we head over to the WORST dressed list for TV Now all these ladies are beautiful.. the just made really bad choices OR their stylists made really bad choices  Here we go..

WORST DRESSED-TV

1. January Jones in Prabal Gurung- The Mad Men Star should have been Mad at her stylist for picking this number out for her She should have been Mad at her hair stylist too  Yikes!




2. Naya Rivera- The Glee Star hit a sour note with this dress choice. It looks like she is going to a Star Trek Convention



3. Sofia Vergara in Donna Karen-  No no no!! the Modern Family Star looked like her dress was being held together b some flimsy pins.  It was a huge Fail.  It did nothing to highlight her curvy beautiful body I think someone is looking for their satin sheets. 


4. Claire Danes in Givanchy- Now this was quite a disappointment I was actually really looking forward to seeing Claire because she always wears amazing outfits. But this was just wrong on so many levels. combined with the messy hair and 80's makeup it was a Homeland nightmare

5. Julianna Margulies in Chado Ralph Rucci- Hi I am going to take a sheet and wrap it around a tank top and call it a dress.  The Good Wife should make good Fashion choices!!




OK Before we dive into the 5 Best and Worst dressed ladies from the Movie Side lets take a moment to relax and Enjoy some of the beautiful Men From last night Here were my top 5 picks:

1. Bradley Cooper- *Drool*  I love him and yesterday on the red carpet he spoke french and I melted into a pool jelly This man is Perfect Silver linings? more like Hunky Linings.


2. Hugh Jackman- I love this Guy and his Australian accent he can just sit and talk to me about nothing just so I can hear it. It is just the cherry on top of this fine pie. 



3. Eddie Redmayne- Brown chocolate velvety goodness... And he has that sexy British accent.  I am sold. 

4. Justin Timberlake-  Who else can make Plaid look so good. Suit and Tie Indeed and he looks mighty fine in it.  Bringing Sexy Back?? I think so!



5. Ben Affleck- he is too adorable that it hurts.  How cute was he last night we all need to find a man who loves his wife like he does.  She is one lucky woman cute, sweet, nice and handsome to boot!



Ok Ok Still with me guys lets exit the drool land of sexy men and get to the last lists!

BEST DRESSED- MOVIES

1. Jennifer Lawrence in Dior Haute Couture- She is probably my favorite pick of the night!  She is too adorable and even though she suffered a wardrobe malfunction when she won her award the Silver Linings Playbook winner didn't skip a beat.  And Bradly Cooper was her costar in the Movie Winner all around!



2. Jessica Chastain in Alexander McQueen-  To me the Zero Dark Thirty star really knocked it out of the park with this dress I like it way better then her Golden Globes choice.  Red is really her color!


3. Helen Hunt in Romona Keveza- Besides me thinking she has the best name ever I loved this dress on her.  She sparkled her way onto Best Dressed list's everywhere!


4. Jennifer Garner in Oscar de la Renta- She is so cute and her husband is so cute and they are so cute together And  I am so sure he was proud to parade her around  and show her off last night she looked so beautiful!



5. Naomi Watts in Marchesa- It was not impossible to look stunning last night in this gown Just beautiful


OK one more round of the worst Dressed now. Here we go Again all the woman are beautiful their choices just were not

WORST DRESSED- MOVIES

1. Anne Hathaway in Giambatt Ista Valli- The Les Miserable star should have been miserable when she walked out in this dress Lets hope that she picks something better for the Oscars





2. Julianne Moore in Chanel- The whole night I was just  praying her boob wont fall out of the dress. It just seemed a little Yonge for her


3. Nicole Kidman in Vivienne Westwood- Now Nicole landed in a lot of people's Best dressed for this number but I am sorry I just didn't like  the dress on her the sheer number just was wrong.  She has yet to impress me with a great dress choice


4. Viola Davis in Monique Lhuillier- You know you will end up on a worst dressed list when you can see your slip through your dress!  Whoops!! 


5. Sigourney Weaver- Just..... What in the Hell..





And there you go all you needed to know about the SAG awards in this Blog.  NEXT the Oscars!!

4. Tracy Spiridakos in Alice + Olivia by Stacey Bendet- OH my this is just frumpy, wrong and does not flatter the killer body I am sure she has

A wonderous City

I wanted to take a moment today to take about a place everyone should visit. A Canadian Gem. I am talking about Vancouver Canada. Full of breathtaking views, restaurants, shops, trails, beaches, and adventures. When you drive on the roads you are surrounded by breathtaking views on the Mountains
I have to say one of the greatest things I did when I first visited Vancouver back in 2007 was accidentally stumble on a beautiful place that was probably one of the best walks of my life.  My friend and I got dropped off at Oak street (which is right off of King Edward Ave and we started to just take a walk around the area. The houses there are the most beautiful I have seen.   



they are on various streets but Try taking a stroll down Matthews Ave or Selkirk you wont be disappointed! 

If you want to visit a great restaurant there are plenty to choose from I have to recommend Joey on Burrard Street it is located right across from the Sutton place hotel

Or take a trip to Yaletown and make sure you visit Blue water Cafe+raw bar you want seafood here is where you can sample Vancouver's finest!


I will admit it I am very picky when it comes to staying in a hotel but the main thing that is important to me is the service who likes going and checking in somewhere with a grumpy staff I sure don't!  Once place that always rises above the Bar is the Sutton Place Hotel.  You have two options here One stay in a room OR stay at the Sutton La Grande Residence and have your own little apartment with a full kitchen!  They recently remodeled the rooms and they look beautiful . The staff is the BEST I have seen always friendly and helpful an A+ for sure


Vancouver is a wonderful City with fantastic views great food and so much to do and see put it on your list of places to go visit you wont fall short of things to do
