when we all head to the oscars, walking the red red carpet with our favourite dashing hollywood star!

now i know you're probably very busy preparing your acceptance speech, doing interviews with vogue & ellen, and tactfully having to turn down offers from johnny depp, george clooney, & jean dujardin who are all begging to escort beautiful you! ... but be sure to take a second and show us the handmade (or vintage) lovelies you'll be wearing to the academy awards!!

just...
1. choose a fun gown (or something else)

2. choose a fun accessory for the look.

3. cut & paste a direct link where i can find each of the two items on the net into your comment.

4. make as many 2-part outfits as you'd like (feel free to include goodies from your own work, too, if you' like!)

5. next week i'll include 10 of your looks in a follow up post, and i'll be sure to link to your lovely shop/site, too! great free advertising for creative, dressed-to-the-nines YOU!

6. and hey... if there are LOTS of entries, i'll get the random.org generator to pull a few for us to see!
