Women of Style: Oscars Edition

On Sunday many of my favorite actresses walk the Red Carpet on their way to the 89th Academy Awards show and looked absolutely stunning. I was eager to wrote a post recapping the Oscars fashion, but decided to wait and write one combined “Women of Style” piece, kind of like I did for the Emmys. So instead of highlighting the Oscars style of just one woman, I thought I’d spotlight the beautiful style of 15 women. In my opinion, these women showcased their personal style beautifully. I wrote a post, which came out on Sunday morning, looking back at some of my […]

Fabulous and Over 40

December 1, 2016 4 Comments

A Few of My Favorite Actresses…

March 27, 2012 No Comments

I sat down at my desk this evening with the plan to compile a list of a few of my favorite actors and actresses; however, as I started jotting down names, the list grew longer by the second! So here’s “Part I” of my list… The Actresses (in no particular order)! 1. My favorite Elizabeth Taylor movie is The Taming of the Shrew, which I saw in junior high school English class after we read the play. Even in black and white, she was gorgeous. 2. Judy Garland’s most famous role is probably that of Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz. […]
