i have been gone for far too long on here, and it is time for that to change. there’s nothing like an awards show to kickstart you, so here i am. thanks to me starting a new role at work a few months ago things have gotten a bit crazy, but blogging has always been a great creative outlet for me and it’s time for me to get back into it. so without further adieu, let’s get into it.

i am a tv fiend… there are way too many shows that i watch, which my netflix, hulu, and amazon accounts can attest. so while i sit here watching the emmys, trying to catch a glimpse of my faves from silicon valley, snl, outlander, game of thrones, and catastrophe (to name a few), there are a few outfits that caught my eye.

kristen bell can never do any wrong in my eyes, and this dress proves that

i won’t lie, i am way too scared to watch “stranger things”, but these kids look great

i think we can all agree that priyanka chopra looks red-hot (get it?) and also a little bit like the dancing woman emoji.

look your best

kerry washington absolutely killing the game, per usual.

you can probably guess this by now, but i love awards shows. i always post about them on here, whether it’s my favorite beauty looks, favorite after party dresses, etc. i’m really into it. i also love the shows themselves (mostly the openings, funny dialogue, and amazing speeches… i’m looking at you andy samberg, amy poehler, amy schumer, jon hamm, and viola davis) and think that each awards show has its own personality. before i get way distracted, like i usually do, i wanted to show a few of my favorite looks from last night (guys included). it seems like it was ridiculously hot and many of the of the attendees had to carry fans down the carpet… honestly, i would have had to be pulled in a wagon for fear of passing out, but they somehow managed to still look great. which doesn’t surprise me at all…

tatiana maslany pulls of a suit oh so nicely

aubrey plaza looks bomb… i think even april would be proud

samira wiley makes me want to wear pink (which is a feat in itself)

billy eichner looks like a straight stud (also thank god for difficult people, because i miss him as craig on “parks and rec” so badly)

taraji, you are a goddess, don’t you forget that

absolutely loving zoe kazan’s dress and necklace combination (i would look like candycane… just saying.)

paul schreiber looked very nice last night… so much so that you almost forget about his lovely character on “oitnb”

sarah hyland evoking old hollywood glam

jamie lee curtis looks bomb. enough said.

absolutely loving gina rodriguez’s ethereal look

january jones killed the jumpsuit game

finally… amy poehler, you look amazing, and are funny, and you’re the best. never change. thanks so much… love, meg.

beauty, bright lips, hourglass cosmetics, oscars, red carpet, red carpet makeup, smokey eyes

at this point i figured that everyone has seen their fair share of red carpet dress coverage from the oscars, so it’s time to talk about beauty. one of my favorite parts of awards shows is seeing what beauty looks people are rocking and slightly obsessing over them. margot robbie killed the lipstick game, felicity jones was the definition of demure, j.lo practically glowed, and reese witherspoon was straight up beautiful. basically it’s time to go to sephora or cvs and get some new lipsticks.

stay golden

the following ladies straight killed it at the golden globes awards last night. it was hard to narrow down my favorite pics, but i decided against having you all look at 20+ pictures… you’re welcome. i think the best way to look at the outfits from last nights awards is to do so while listening to “uptown funk”, because something about that combination just works. if i ever went to the golden globes i have a vision of the kind of dress i would wear (picture long sleeves, slit, v-neck or low back) that would hopefully not land me on the worst-dressed list. honestly though, this isn’t something i have to worry about. so until my “debut” at the golden globes, i can keep on dreaming.

the party never stops

academy awards, best dressed, fashion, red carpet, red carpet fashion, the oscars, vanity fair party

last year when i wrote about my favorite outfits at the oscars i happened to focus on the vanity fair party, and this year i’m doing the same. at this point i feel like best-dressed of the oscars is all over the internet, and even though i may pick an outfit that isn’t as “popular” as others, it was probably already seen. i’m acting as if no one has seen outfits from the vanity fair party (which most likely isn’t true at all), but don’t blame me for trying to be a little different! i love to see what people wear afterwards, and i also imagine what i would wear if i ever went… not that i would ever be invited, but still. before i get into my outfit picks, i’d just like to mention that:

the selfie that ellen took was amazing. i mean seriously, that was next level.
jennifer lawrence tripping (again) was perfect.
john travolta messing up idina menzel’s name had me laughing for longer than i’d like to admit.
brad pitt passing out plates when the pizza was being handed out seemed so normal.
the whole dancing with celebrities montage while pharrell performed “happy” was surreal.
some of the comments during the red carpet coverage were ridiculous, but completely serious… “these people have been out here since 9 am today, they haven’t showered in days.” like what? what does that even mean? how does the commentator know that?
pink’s tribute to the wizard of oz had me more than a little emotional. definitely had a flashback to childhood…
emma watson and joseph gordon-levitt make quite the duo.
lupita’s speech made me tear up.
frozen won and all was right in the world.

academy awards, adele, fashion, jennifer lawrence, oscars, red carpet

so realistically speaking, i should be commenting on the best dresses at the oscars, which there were many of. instead i chose to do something different, which is something i always seem to be doing.. sorry, can’t help it! you know how different writers and artists have muses? well maybe in some weird alternative universe i could be robert frost’s muse, because that whole “i took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference” has meg written all over it. now these less traveled roads are not always the best of ideas, but it’s worth it to say you at least tried. okay, back to business, sorry for tangent-ing, per usual. my favorite dresses from oscar’s night actually showed up at the vanity fair after party, and i basically would have loved to attend, but i guess my invite got lost in the mail. it’s all good though, because next year i’ll so be ready, rocking a unique dress, making robert proud.
