My uniform

If you read the Zoe Report, you’ve heard Rachel Zoe talk a lot about her “uniform” — wide-leg pants, tranny heals, etc. etc. So it got me thinking about what my uniform would be.

For work, it’d have to be a vintage jacket, oversized scarf and pencil jeans. The blue and white striped shirt? It’s from H & M. The short sleeve blazer? Straight out of the eighties, ladies.

And then there are my red shoes. Though they’re not part of my uniform, I love them because they remind me that, no matter how much I love travelling, there’s no place like home.

So what’s your uniform? Jeans and a t-shirt? Dress and flat boots?

When I was in Paris

I stayed in a converted artist’s studio on Rue d’Amsterdam near the Place de Clichy (can I say I “lived” there? I was there for a month).

Every day I would walk through a gate that looked almost identical to this one, carrying my groceries, my school books or whatever I picked up from Printemps.

This shot from The Selby took me right back there. And makes me want to return to that pretty city. Bad.

Feels a bit seventies

Doesn’t it?

Is it the leather vest? The just-below-the-knee skirt?

Or the fact that I give off a psychedelic vibe, man?

It’s from the Armory Show

But seems rather fitting for Oscar season, doesn’t it? The red lips, red nails, oversized pearls, sparkly diamonds and whatever those gigantic blue stones are — such outrageous glamour.

Beauty

Let’s celebrate it, shall we? Gotta love Hollywood glamour. Especially old Hollywood glamour. Nothing today quite compares, does it?

Movies Shmovies

Awards shows are all about the red carpet. The dresses, the jewels, the couples gossip. Too. Much. Fun.

Even with all the glamour and glitz of recent shows, there were some clear winners in the spectacular dress category. And the awards go to…

Michelle Williams

Michelle Williams at the 2006 Oscars in Vera Wang — makes me wish I could wear yellow (I can’t. I look like a zombie). Image found here.

Kate Hudson at this year’s Golden Globes in Marchesa — my favourite part about this shot? The umbrella. So Vancouver. Image found here.

Cameron Diaz in Dior by John Galliano at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s 2007 Costume Institute Gala in New York — the woman pulls off pink and turquoise without looking all prom-y. Photo found here.

Kate Hudson in Oscar de la Renta at the 2009 premiere of Bride Wars — like beautiful art deco architecture. Except it’s a dress. Image found here.

Drew Barrymore in Alexander McQueen at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2009 — love her, loved him (such a genius). Image found here.

So who’s going to be best dressed at the Academy Awards on Sunday? And how amazing are the hosts going to be? Steve Martin + Alec Baldwin = good television (did you see that episode of 30 Rock?).

Will you be watching for the dresses, the hosts or the movies?
