Red Carpet Eye Candy {7}

-
We haven't done one of these in a while, and I'm on spring break so I feel like doing ALL THE BLOGGING but I'm also #lazy so I don't feel like doing anything that requires that much mental exercise.  So here we are. :-P

Enjoy!


I love how simple and effortless this is.  The Pinterest caption mentioned the detail, and it really does look like there's some amazing detail close up.  I also like the way this was styled -- the bangle isn't my style, but I like how it adds a touch of "hardness" to keep it from being too feminine, if that's what Amanda was going for.  And the hair and makeup go nicely.


Awww.  This is just cute and sweet.  Look how happy she looks! :D  The pink is luscious, and the turquoise ring is a nice pop of contrast.


Yaaaaaassss.  Blake Lively knows how it's done.  (I mean, I haven't seen/liked all of her red carpet looks, but most of the time, yes.  And she knows what styles work for her.  Also, can we talk about how talented she is at making maternity gowns look amazing??!!)


This is very pretty and feminine.  I love the little flower appliques, the pink belt, her earrings, basically everything. :D


I'm not a hundred percent sold on the hairstyle, but I like the contrast within the dress itself, the sparkles alternating with the gauze, and it looks pretty comfy.  Make the bodice a little bit more modest and I'm there.


Again, not totally feeling the hair, but here's the "starry"/sparkly outfit for the post. :)  Looking at it from a different angle (this wasn't the original picture I saw), I'm not sure that the pleating of the skirt works perfectly with the sequin-y look of the top, but I still like it overall, I think.


This seems very relaxed and casual for a red carpet look, which I like for a change.  Vanessa Hudgens pulls it off. :-P  And, of course, it's got a very tropical/beachy vibe, which is somewhat refreshing.  I don't know, it just works.


The Cinderella dress!  (I wonder if I'll run out of "starry" and "Cinderella" dresses one of these days.)  Anyway, I think this was a great choice for Amy!  That shade of blue is wonderful for her, and I feel like it's difficult to pull off the feathery look, but this is very flattering on her.  And, again, the styling is on point. :)


*gawking*  GUYS I'M LOW-KEY OBSESSED WITH THIS.  I mean, seriously.  I am shook.  It's BRILLIANT.  I just . . . it makes me happy. :D  (And I feel like almost no one else could pull it off, but she nails it.)

Which is your favorite?

    Ooh, the feathery dress and pink ruffly one are lovely! I also really like the purple-grayish one with the flowers and the blue sparkly one (though both would be a bit too low for myself).

    And that monarch butterfly one... I'm speechless. XD

    Lovely post, Olivia! <3

      Aren't they, Faith?! Hehe, yeah, that's always the struggle with red carpet dresses -- nearly perfect except for certain aspects. ;-P

      Haha, I know, right?

      Aw, thanks! Thanks for commenting! <3

    In my eyes, Blake Lively can do no wrong. She is a stunning human (and she looks gorgeous and very "old Hollywood").

    I adore how Amy Adams' dress seems to compliment her personality. She is radiant.

    And then Zendaya over here slayin it! I want to wear that dress for the rest of my life. XD

      Honestly, in terms of red carpet, I've seen very little "wrong" from her either. (And YES, she does look very old Hollywood!)

      Aww, yes. <3

      Right?! I mean . . . gee.

    So, I love the pink ruffly dress, which is the one most likely that I would wear, but my favorite that I WOULDN'T wear is definitely the monarch on Zendaya. I love her style. She looks good in pretty much everything, but this one especially. :)

      Amaris, I know, right?! The monarch is such an awesome dress, even if I could never wear it. xD

    I love Amy Adams' and Leah Michelle's! Blake Lively's wouldn't be anything special on anyone else but she looks amazing in everything - and very classic. Love your choices :D

    I always go for the Cinderella dress every time. xD (So of course. To keep up the tradition.)

    But I am most IMPRESSED with Zendaya's! My oh my, that is one DRESS. It's so cool! LOVE. (Though I really don't think I could wear a butterfly like that. :P) (Maybe Confidence is Key, haha.)

    DEFINITELY LOVING THAT BUTTERFLY AT THE END. WOW. (Btw, you make me want to be into fashion and dresses and "follow" the Red Carpets events. Also. I plan on being in movies someday and I have resolved that I will go to my first Red Carpet dressed in my old jeans, my bright pink tennis shoes, and a black sleeveless blouse. Just to shake things up. *wink*)

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 reviewin...

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 Capul...

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 ...
