nickelodeon kids’ choice awards 2010 orange carpet
Mar 28th, 2010 by shallow

after the glitz of the golden globes and the oscars, and the glamorous exaggerations of the grammys, i like that the nickelodeon kids’ choice awards comes next. no carpet-grazing designer gowns nor sparkling rocks that weigh a ton. just outfits more relaxed, hair and makeup less high-maintenance. after all, it is best to expect slime during the show, so better not show up in threads that get ruined in contact with green goo.

one thing we notice: no matter how less formal clothes can go on these occasions, heels always maintain their height. i love this trend! i love sky-high stilettos. i would wear them to a corn field if i could.

selena gomez. my favorite of the day, hands down! i think this one is downright pretty, from the loosely plaited hair, the sunny yellow chiffon dress and the metallic beaded belt. i must say i am pining for those shoes and that clutch, they are the best!

delayed post: history at the oscars
Mar 15th, 2010 by shallow

it’s been a week since my little blog was thrown in as “collateral damage”. after a few days of confusion and frustration, i finally got my own domain. and i finally get to publish the post that’s been waiting patiently in the drafts folder since the academy awards concluded last week.

i am not jinxed after all… after the two american idol male contestants and the cool girl i’ve been rooting for failed to get past top 24 and top 20, i considered the idea that i might have jinxed them. but after my hopes from another entry were realized in this year’s academy awards, i knew superstition doesn’t live here.

congratulations to kathryn bigelow, the first woman to win best director!

avatar didn’t pull another titanic on us. congratulations to the hurt locker for winning best picture!

and for those of you whose time i have wasted with the winners because they would rather see the red carpet dresses, below are the ones i find interesting in one way or another. unlike the golden globes and the oscars, the earlier awards shows are less formal. thus, since the ladies can wear short dresses, we get to see more shoes.
