.....................

it's that time of year again!
when we all head to the oscars, walking the red red carpet with our favourite dashing hollywood star!

*swoon*

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!


can't wait to see what you come up with this time, nicies! see you on the red carpet, cutiepies! i know you'll look marvelous!
 

see you on the red carpet, sweeties!

did you ever go to a prom? what did you wear? ... myself... 3 prom dress highlights were certainly: a crazy mint green flapper dress, with the highest heels i've ever worn in my whole life! a full-length ball-gown with silvery bolero jacket to another. and a fully sequined straight ballgown in royal blue glittery craziness to another! oh the styles!

have a great time @ your prom, lovely graduates...
and a trip down memory lane, to us old-timers! :)
