Red Carpet Eye Candy

-
Do you ever just scroll through pictures of red carpet dresses?  (Well, I know some of you do…)  I like to do that on occasion, and today I wanted to share a number that I found recently that I thought were pretty cool:)  You're welcome;)


I like red carpet dresses that are a little different, sometimes (probably comes from watching Project Runway so often with my sister XD ), so this confection really caught my eye.  It's rather surprising how well Jennifer Garner pulls off the orange!  I admire people who look good in orange.  


Of course, I could do with an *ahem* higher neckline, but that blue is gorgeous on Kate Winslet!  Plus, the style of the gown is quite flattering, no?


I quite like the off-the-shoulder look, and the color is really sumptuous.  It makes me think of wine, for some reason.  Though I don't particularly care for the way Keira Knightley dyed her hair 0_0  But I read that after she wore this dress, she somehow donated it and raised a ton of money for charity!  Dawwwwww.


Can't get over how well this glittery blue brings out Emily Blunt's eyes!!!!  And the way she did her hair, and the natural makeup…siiiiiigh.  


I know most of you have seen this gown before, but…I wanted to include it just because….look at it!  I was happy to find a front-facing picture of it so I could get the full look of the piece:)  Penelope Cruz, ya done well.  



So I know this is a maternity dress, but isn't it beautiful?  Such a good shade of magenta on Natalie Portman...


Again, a slightly weirder one, but I love it, hehe XD  I'm not entirely sure about the sequined top, but I think I like it.  And I like the ombre effect of this one, even if it does cascade into pompoms at the bottom;)

    Ooh, a post on dresses! I love it! :D
    I love Natalie Portman's and Penelope Cruz's dresses. The color and style of Emily Blunt's and Kate Winslet's are very pretty but I agree they need a few tweaks in the modesty department. (Well, Natalie's neckline as well for that instance!)
    Hmm.....that last one...it's...it's interesting, to say the least. :P heehee
    Thanks so much for sharing these!

      Glad you enjoyed it, Natalie!:D
      Absolutely--ha, if only they could all be satisfied with modest necklines, such as Penelope Cruz's...
      Heehee, certainly is!
      You're so welcome! Thanks for reading:)

    OH! I love dresses!! My favourite was Peneloe Cruz's dress… It is so gorgeous! (and modest for that matter!)

    I love the colour of blue of Kate Winslet's.. But the neckline needs to be higher. You're right, it is very flattering.

    Emily Blunt is so gorgeous.. That dress looks stunning on her; thought I wouldn't wear it myself.

    Kiera Knightly's dress is very pretty on her as well… I might wear that one.

    I love Natalie Portman's: it is so gorgeous, especially for a maternity dress. (A few modesty issues though.)

    The first and the last ones are… Interesting.

    Thanks for sharing!!

    That blue dress on Penelope Cruz is one of my favorite dresses EVER. Wow. I just want to gobble it up.

    I love Keira Knightley's too....that color!!!! You're right, it does make one think of wine. Very distinguished. :-)

    These are definitely eye candy!
    Penelope Cruz's dress definitely caught my eye. Look how full that skirt is. Can you imagine twirling in a dress like that?
    Well, I can't quite imagine I'll ever wear something like that, but a girl's gotta have some dreams. :)

    Penelope Cruz's dress!!!! DIVINE.

    I LOVE looking at red carpet dresses. Haha, I wonder, were you referring to me when you said that you knew some people liked looking at red carpet dresses? Because you might have been.

    A red carpet dress I have been admiring lately is Lily James's Cinderella premier gown. I love Lily James' style a lot. She has worn some beautiful things. I also like any gown by Elie Saab. :-)

      Yeeeesssss!

      Hee, yes, I was;) I remembered you'd mentioned that before;)

      Ohhh, yes, I think I've seen that one; it's a beautiful one! Yeah, she has a great sense of fashion--always (from what I've seen) pretty and feminine:) I'll have to check out some of Elie Saab's work!

Comments make my day. Seriously. I'd be so happy if you commented. :)

I've gotten really bad about replying in a timely manner, but it's always my intention to do so eventually. (Even though it doesn't always happen. ;))

Lark Rise to Candleford, Seasons 1-4 {review}

Well, darlin's, here 't'is!  A review of the TV series Lark Rise to Candleford .   SO!  I finished the final season the other night, and am here to discuss my thoughts;)  (Spoilers will be sprinkled indiscriminately!  Read at your own risk;D) LRtC centers around young Laura Timmins, a girl from the wee hamlet of Lark Rise, who moves to the  more affluent town of Candleford to work in her aunt's (or was she just a cousin?) post office.  Miss Dorcas Lane is probably the wealthiest person in Candleford and holds a lot of sway with the townspeople.  With Laura's advent into Candleford, the two communities begin to be intertwined. The show's basic plots aren't my absolute favorites, but I love how relaxed the show is, and how marvelous the characters are.  (Because they just ARE.)  It's a cozy series, but at the same time there are moments of rather intense drama.   I'm not feeling extremely eloquent for reviewing this series, heh

My Dream Cast for a Live-Action Remake of 'The Incredibles'

Alas, no, I am aware of no immediate plans for Disney to produce a live-action version of The Incredibles .  But if such plans should ever materialize . . . have I got a cast ready for them or what. 😉 ⸻ Elastigirl / Helen Parr Emma Stone Emma would rock Helen's grit & sass like no other actress available today & I will not be accepting criticism of that statement at this time.  I would absolutely love to see her in this role.  She would crush it.  Mr. Incredible / Bob Parr Eric Allan Kramer I know he's a leetle too old now, especially as a partner for Stone, but he's the only person I've ever been able to envision as Bob.  (Except Alan Hale, Jr., but he's about six feet too old.)  So it is what it is, peeps.  Violet Parr Mackenzie Foy   I went back and forth on the casting for Violet.  I would also love to see what Millie Bobby Brown could do with the role, so it was difficult to decide.  In the end, I think Mackenzie Foy would still be my first choice, but

Romeo and Juliet (2013) {review}

[Note:  Keep in mind that this review is written from the perspective of someone who has never actually read Romeo and Juliet , m'kay?:)  Also, there'll be spoilers, because, I mean…all things considered, you probably know how it all ends.] I first became seriously interested in watching this movie a) because of the utter gorgeousness of all the stills I saw on the Internet, and b) because it has Hailee Steinfeld.  I'd only seen her in True Grit (2011), but, I thought, wouldn't it be cool to see her in a completely different role? So, yesterday, I watched it.  And…I'm not quite sure what I think of it. First things first.  This movie was beautiful .  It was one of those films where you think, "I want just about this entire movie in screencaps."  The cinematography was excellent.  The lighting, the camera angles, the costumes and sets …aaaaaaahhhhh. See what I mean?? Hailee Steinfeld was absolutely precious as Juliet Capulet.  I th
