Dress to Impress - The Academy Awards

Every year Chandace and I make a huge deal out of the Academy Awards, it's like our Super Bowl. We buy food and wine and usually invite people over, its usually super fun!

This year we were behind on our game and just decided to watch the awards together without any fuss. Once Chandace got her son to bed it was nearing 9:00pm but thankfully we had started recording the Awards hours ago so this just meant we could fast-forward through all of the commercials (YAY!).

We finally got settled, I found the recording and hit play on her TV and BOOM! the dark clouds rolled in. There at the bottom of the screen the full recording time only said "1:00". One hour.

Only one hour of the show had recorded and by 9:00 the awards were nearly 3/4 of the way over. We frantically tried to find a delayed recording with no luck. We watched the first hour and then went on to cut what felt like 3,000 strips of fabric for a new bunch of necklaces.

Luckily for us we had successfully managed to record our favorite part anyway, the red carpet. We were both kind of disappointed with everyone's fashion choices this year. Most were bland and boring and some people just went nuts (we're looking at you, Anne Hathaway).

Given the blah-ness of the carpet fashions we still had our favorites. Chandace loved Jessica Chastain's lovely copper number by Armani and Sally Field's airy red Valentino frock.

I loved Kerry Washington's coral and cream colored Miu Miu dress and Fan Bingbing's beautiful fuchsia Marchesa ensemble.

While we were discussing our favorites of the night we thought it would be really fun to poll you all to see which of our choices you like the best. The dress that comes out on top will be the inspiration for our next giveaway necklace! Voting starts tonight and will run until the end of the week (poll is on the right hand side of the page!). Once we have finished the necklace we will let you all know on Facebook and start the contest so stay tuned!
