let's talk about oscars 2013

Is it only me who thinks that Oscars this year were a little bit..hmm..e.. boring?!

First of all, i wasn't surprised that these movies and actors won. And secondly, were was the style?class?why the ladies chose to be either like wanna-be-brides or barbie-queens?

i hardly chose two of them for my "Oscar inspiration" post

..and that my friend is art

I truly believe that fashion, above many things, is art.

Many would say "come on, seriously girl, would you wear any of these dresses to go to a club or..anywhere?''

Well..i have to admit..no..

BUT as i said before, fashion  is not those colorful things called clothes.. 

it's so much more!

and i have proof..
