SAG AWARDS 2016: BEST DRESSED

So last night was the 22nd SAG Awards and obviously as much as I care about the nominations I basically tune in to watch the red carpet so I can see what everyone is wearing. There were some amazing dresses last night and now's the time to list some of my favorites!

Anna Faris

Red is my absolute favorite color for dresses. Every time I'm out shopping I either get drawn to red or black dresses so obviously this dress directly caught my eye!

Anna Faris stunned in a Naeem Khan dress. I adore how this dress is so elegant and classy covering up her entire torso, and then you see the daring slit on her left leg. I normally don't like carrying a bag that's the same color as the dress but in some way Anna made it work! The shoes she went with are simple Stuart Wietzman heels that don't take away from the beauty of her dress!

Jessica Pare

Just like I mentioned above, I LOVE BLACK DRESSES! I think I'm guilty for having too many of them! Every time I have a dressy occasion, I go to the mall with the mindset that I will not buy another black dress, but I usually always end up with one! Jessica Pare took elegance to a whole new level with her Kaufmanfranco dress (I had to double check the spelling on that one, lol!) I love dresses that are all about designing by using the fabric instead of just throwing sequins on them to make them look fancy. Jessica also wore Jimmy Choo shoes and a Jimmy Choo bag!

Sofia Vergara

FOR THE LOVE OF PINK! Recently I've been drawn to anything pink. I saw a pink leather agenda a few days ago and I instantly fell in love until Elena had to basically walk me away from it. For this reason, I'm obviously in love with this custom Vera Wang dress that Sofia glowed in! It's perfect for her skin tone and hair color and perfectly accentuates her drop-dead gorgeous body! Definitely one of my favorite looks this year!

Kate Winslet

I must say I was biased when I picked this dress as one of the best because the color of this dress matches the color of  a jumpsuit I recently wore so I directly got attracted to it! This is a custom Giorgio Armani dress paired with Jimmy Choo shoes and Neil Lane jewelry! I absolute love all of Kate Winslet's looks because they define class! 

Rachel McAdams

Elie, Elie, Elie! Elie Saab is definitely one of the best fashion designers of all time! Look at this dress or should I say masterpiece! It hugs Rachel's body and then extends to form a beautiful train. She wore Brian Atwood shoes with this dress and accessorized with Lorraine Shwartz jewelry! This is a dress I'm honestly proud to say is created by a Lebanese designer!

Maria Tomei

An amazing movie and a gorgeous dress! Maria starred in The Big Short this year which was one of the movies I really enjoyed. Not only did she act in an incredible movie but she also wore a dress by Zuhair Murad! More Lebanese pride people! This dress is honestly perfect on Maria Tomei (any dress done by Zuhair Murad is perfect on anyone though). The color is so different from what we usually see and the sequins are done so tastefully! Excellent choice Marisa!

Rooney Mara

What could be better than a simple black Valentino dress?! NOTHING! If I was invited to an award show (yeah right) this would be the dress I would go with! It's so simple and black (my favorite dress color) and it works amazingly with her pale white skin! Perfectly elegant look for Mara!

Jacob Tremblay

This little guy had to make his way to my best dressed list cause he looked adorable in his suit! What's cuter than a young boy attending a fancy award show in an even fancier suit?! His hands were constantly tucked in his pockets for the entire red carpet appearance which I found so cute and totally his age! Definitely my favorite celebrity at the award show!

Confessions of a Shopaholic During Sale Season

Hi guys! As most of you are aware, the sale season has began! After Christmas and New Year are over, all your favorite stores go on sale! That time, my friends, is any girl's (or a shopaholic's) best time of year! Holiday sales aren't like any other sales, no no, they have a certain spirit to them. The stores are still decorated and the malls are still packed since everyone gets a few days after the New Year to rest a bit. So! How does a shopaholic react to these sales?! Well let's do this in chronological order why don't we!

1. First things first, we get a message on our cell phones from all our favorite stores telling us about the sale! AND it's a crime to put our phone down before we forward the message to our closest friends just in case (although if you're a shopaholic, your close friends are probably as well, so they definitely got the messages, lol!)

2. After putting the phone down, we attempt to cancel all our plans for the coming days so that we can attack the sales before anyone else does. No one wants to go to a store after the huge crowds of women have already went through all the items and left a sad pile of on-sale items on one of the tables.

3. The attack. Going through the stores when they have a sale is kind of like being in a battlefield. There is no one more aggressive than a woman who also wants the same bag you just set your eyes on. The fitting rooms are full but it is totally worth it to wait in line! That being said, there are always some girls who try to cut the line, but that ain't happening when I'm around, LOL! The best stores during the sales are the stores that have employees constantly putting everything back into place. Although I adore shopping, I instantly give up when the items are messy and nothing is shown clearly. I just walk out of the store in disappointment!

4. After trying on 720311222938464568 items, you are finally ready to take your picks to the cashier! At the cashier they usually have smaller items such as accessories stuffed in little compartments. What's another item going to do? You're not going to go broke, so you pick up a few items while waiting in line. When it's your turn, you happily watch the cashier fill up your bag with the brand new items that you are going to take home with you.

5. Finally, and this is my personal favorite part, unpacking the items from their bags. The crispness of the bags, the softness of the material, laying out all your items on your bed before you remove the tags and fold them into your closet. This is happiness!

ALRIGHT so I'm not a crazy shopaholic (denial) but I do love shopping! I think every girl who's been shopping can relate to this!
