I love the Oscars, not ‘cuz I’m a movie buff but because of the 1hr fashion parade that solidifies the season’s trends.  In line with spring trend colors,  blushes, and Gr-eige (all forms of grey and beige), many celebrities showed off pretty pales.  The following dresses from the Oscar fashion parade were on my favorites list:

You can see below that the ‘gr-eige” trend with blush tones were prominent at the Golden Globes awards too.

Fab Finds: Bloody Chanel

See the enlarged red Chanel necklace in this ad?  The CC Pendant Necklace runs $375.00 unless you opt to borrow from bagborroworsteal.com or buy one of the cool bloody knockoff versions that I found on Etsy.com

BagBorroworSteal offers the purple version at$39.00/week or $115.00/month if you’re a member and , $45.00/week or $129.00/month if you’re not.

The “inspired by Chanel” bloody versions from Etsy.com are a much more affordable version.  They’re available in two sizes and in an array of colors:  gold, silver, black, red, dark purple, dark green, orange, white, light pink, hot pink, baby blue, blue, and yellow.

from "littleangelsjewelry" $9.99

from "SnBBakery" for $10.00

This cute blogger got so inspired by the bloody Chanel necklaces that she made herself the DIY shirt shown below.  (Don’t you also love the background wall made up of fashion tear sheets?)
