This is the face of a beautiful confident woman.  She is speaking in Vancouver this week, as part of the Unique Lives & Experiences program.  I am taking one of my oldest girlfriends and I am so excited it isn't even funny. Talk about a woman who Owns Her Beauty.  She embraces life and makes no [...]

I keep thinking there are no more red carpet events until the fall and The Emmys. I always seem to forget about the Metropolitan Gala. And how could I forget about it.  The Met Gala brings out the elite in Hollywood, as well as the elite in fashion designers.  There is always a great mix [...]

So taking a look back at my top picks for this Red Carpet season, which do you feel is the overall best? Lets review... At the Golden Globes my pick was  Helen Mirren. At the SAG  awards it was Mary Steenburger. At the Grammy Awards it was Tierney Sutton (okay really I put Dianna Ross [...]

Many of us are planning winter escapes during the upcoming Spring School break.  I know the constant Vancouver grey and drizzle is starting to get me down.  A trip to a warm sunny destination, even if spent chasing a 4 year old around, is a welcome escape from the everyday of chasing a 4 year [...]

The woman can wear the dress. Or the dress can wear her.  To me the best Oscar dresses make the woman shine so you see a great full package.   The trends on this year's carpet were more white, some lovely 20s and 30s detailing and of course colour.  It was great to see women in their [...]

I thought it would be interesting to see what the Costume Designers wear when they get dressed up for their Annual Awards show.  Now to be completely honest I did not necessarily verify the age of the various costume designers.  Their ages are not as readily available as actors, so I made a few guesses [...]

This is the first year that I've included the British version of the Oscars. But there seems to be too many great red carpet dresses, by the 40 and over set, that I couldn't ignore them.  The dresses were simpler than the Oscars, with lots of solid white, black and red.  Most of the ladies played it [...]

I love the Grammy Awards because it brings together so many styles of music. And red carpet styles.  Many of the ladies played it safe, but there are always some risk takers at the Grammy Awards. Some paid off with great personal style. Others not so much. I am leading the slide show with Diana [...]

The 2012 Screen Actors Guild Awards were all about colour.  Of course there were a few in classic black, and a few pale dresses. But the trend of the night was colour!    Check the slide show for my favourites, the not so fabulous dresses, so gratuitous eye candy and of course the beautiful couples.  When you [...]

I LOVE how many great ladies aged 40 and over there were that graced the red carpet tonight at the Golden Globe awards.  There seemed to be lots of black tonight, especially with a single shoulder or unique cut outs.  There was also a continuation of trends from last year with lots of jewel colours [...]
