Oscar Gold

Award season is getting ready to wind up with the biggest event of the year…the Oscars! I love award shows. I’m a sucker for the heartfelt speeches, and of course, the fashion. This year’s awards have been all over the map in both fashion and actual award winners, so I’m anxiously awaiting the final judgment to be handed down this Sunday. Until then, I’ll just continue to plan my perfect Oscar’s party and wish I was as glam as the Queen, Meryl Streep. Pictured above at the 1979 Academy Awards.

Valentine's Day Ideas: Love Doughnuts??

With less than two weeks until Valentine’s Day (my favorite holiday), I thought I should share some of my favorite Valentine’s ideas and inspirations. Let’s get real, holidays are made great by their food and Valentine’s Day is no exception. If you don’t have a lot of time or cash this year, why not indulge in some “love” doughnuts? Stop by Krispy Kreme for some of these sweet confections, then pair with some letter cookies to spell this simple message!

Super Bowl 2013: Harbaugh vs. Harbaugh

via Better Homes & Gardens

 

It's Super Bowl weekend and that marks the END of football season. Maybe not a huge revelation for most, but for someone who spends countless hours listening to her fiancé talk about college football, sports blogs, and fantasy football…it’s a big deal. After six years of this, I’ve actually absorbed quite a bit of football knowledge, or at least enough to follow what’s going on. But, let’s be honest. Like most girls who watch the Super Bowl, my highlights will probably rank in the following order:

1.       Beyonce’s much anticipated half-time show

2.       Commercials (thanks to last year, my expectations are low for this one)

3.       Watching to see if Alicia Keys messes up the National Anthem

4.       Yummy Food

5.       The Game

We’re still debating whether or not to have people come over to watch. If I can replicate this adorable, simple tablescape (pictured above), then I might just have to invite some peeps over! Most setups for football parties or tailgates are borderline tacky, so I was thrilled when I happened across this photo. Enjoy the game!

Little Girl Blue & the Cover of GQ: Part II

Let’s take a quick minute to celebrate the other woman in Jay Z’s life, Blue Ivy! She turned one on the 7^th, reportedly ringing in her new year with a $200,000 party and an $80k diamond encrusted Barbie doll. Not sure if that’s true, but clearly, being the daughter of the highest paid celeb couple has some perks. Overall, 2013 seems to be treating the Knowles/Carter family well. 

Little Girl Blue & the Cover of GQ: Part I

In case you didn’t already know that Beyoncé is one hot mama, the new issue of GQ is out to remind everyone. If you’ve been on the internet over the last few days, you may have seen the new cover. Everyone seems to be going a little crazy over it. Yes, she looks freaking AMAZING, but is she the hottest woman of the 21^st Century? Well, the editors over at GQ seem to think so.
