Girl with The Pearl!

How did you like the Oscars?  Is it bad to say that I decided to stray away  over to Downton Abbey after the Red Carpet?  I did come back to check in and it was as I predicted that Bird Man would clean up. I have to say I watched Bird Man Saturday night and I still feel uncomfortable from the experience. Although, kudos to Michael Keaton it was a stellar performance. These type of artistically creative pushing the envelope films usually win even if the general public finds another film much more appealing. Anyway let's get to the important stuff! the GOWNS!

There were some lovely gown out there, but the one that I couldn't take my eye off of was Lupita Nyong'os gown! I dub her "The Girl With The Pearl"!  She inspired me to delve into pearl accoutrements for the home and here is what I came up with!

  2. She is always the picture of elegance...and it was hard to see the detailing unless you saw it up close but WOW what details!!! I love anything with a pearly touch (you will love the bathroom floor I just chose). Overall trust me you didn't miss much, it was one of the more boring Oscars and the fashion was nothing to stay up for (but I did)!

  5. I miss the Oscars every year. Her dress was beautiful though! Haven't seen Birdman yet. My husband wants to watch it together.

  6. To be honest I got bored with the whole thing and watched Downton. I thought I would hear everyone else's reports today or go back and watch if need be! Boy do I agree about that dress! I love your style Karolyn!

  8. Karolyn, gorgeous post and i would agree that Lupita was stunning in her gown. It really does need to be seen close up to fully appreciate it. I enjoyed watching and I'll say it's a mixed bag of everything.. that's Hollywood.

  11. I love how you tied that stunning dress to a fun design post!! I felt the same way after seeing Birdman - strangely unsettled. Have a great week, Karolyn!! xoxo

  12. What a dress! I thought it was just gorgeous - definitely the most beautifully unique of the night. Lupita is so lovely. Love your mother of pearl interiors here - there is nothing more gorgeous than shimmery white. Lucky us on the West Coast, we started our recording of Downton just a few minutes after the show started to air. I am a little over the Bates/Anna storyline have to say. Can't believe this week is the finale! I'll be watching! XOXO
