My 5 Best Dressed women, from the 84th Annual Academy Awards.

#5 - Jennifer Lopez in Zuhair Murad. From the neckline and the sheerness of the dress to the color and the fit, J.Lo looked amazing. (Points off for the hair style. I think even a lower-placed bun could have looked better)

#4 - Angelina Jolie in Atelier Versace. Angelina can make even a brown paper bag look good, and she obviously made this long black gown by Atelier Versace look great. Plus, the high slit on the side caused more than a “double take”.

#3 - Jessica Chastain in Alexander McQueen. The black-and-gold hand-embroidered gown made Jessica Chastain look gorgeous. I also like the simple accessorizing: small gold earrings and a simple bracelet. The dress was enough, nothing else was needed. Great choice!

#2 - Viola Davis in Vera Wang. Viola looked fierce in the emerald Vera Wang dress. Though some may disagree, I liked the ruffles and pleating at the bottom of the dress (combining hard and soft). Great accessories (green earrings) and an overall great outfit. I also give points for the confidence in going “au naturale” with her hair.

#1 - Gwyneth Paltrow in Tom Ford. This is my top pick. Gwyneth looked amazing in this Tom Ford creation; the cut, length, color and the cape was amazing on Paltrow. Her natural make-up, her sleek slicked-back hair, and the simple sparkly cuff bracelet and ring made her my BEST DRESSED for the Academy Awards.

What do you think, agree or disagree?

Unbalancing…

I hate feeling emotionally unstable, especially when I’m in a public place… It’s an awkward feeling that I have within that isn’t making me feel comfortable. I believe it comes from 2 things though. First, my financial status isn’t good, now that I’m no longer working. I’m somewhat confident that someone will contact me (hopefully through email though) for a job opportunity. Second is the fact that I’m making something so small a big deal (like always). I feel like I have to be emotionally connected with someone and my feelings just can conform to what’s going on so far and wants to speed things up. I feel like the last time something like this happened, I ruined it. I don’t want to ruin what I may “possibly” have now… But, how?
