Operation Varsity Blues

In bizarre news stories this week, waking up to Operation Varsity Blues was truly a weird one. 50 people were charged on Tuesday for a college admissions conspiracy. Two of those people happen to be actresses Lori Loughlin and Felicity Huffman. The scheme spanned a number of things including cheating on admission tests, bribery, and pretending like their kids were being recruited for sports’ teams. Olivia Munn’s tweet above summed up all of my feelings.

What is the point of having that degree from a prestigious Ivy League school if you have no intention of doing anything with it? It seemed like Lori Loughlin’s daughter Olivia knew she wanted to be a Vlogger long before she became a freshman at USC. Why not just let her pursue that happily without college. She’d certainly have more time to focus on that. The added bonus is that this career requires no degree.

None of this is my biggest gripe though. I’m most upset that wealthy parents are taking advantage of this and instead of instilling better values for their children are showing them an example of cheating. Essentially, they are taking a spot at a university that could go to someone who is more deserving and who would value this experience. I never thought I would be so immersed in a scandal like this. Not even lying to you, I thought this headline was a joke when I saw it. I’m curious to see how this all pans out. It’s also a very interesting contrast to what’s happening with the Jussie Smollett case.

Readers, would love to hear you weigh in on this!

Critics’ Choice Awards Red Carpet 2019

Charlize Theron in Givenchy

Where was the red carpet special today on E?! I waited around all afternoon for it to come and when it didn’t, I was forced to watch “Little Italy” on Amazon Prime instead. My assumption was that E! covered all red carpets for major award shows, but was this not as important for some reason? Does having it air on CW have anything to do with it? Whatever the reason is, I didn’t want to miss an opportunity to highlight some stunning looks this evening. I have less favorites in this batch than from the Golden Globes, but enough to have five main favorites that I’ll be sharing on my Instagram in a bit!

2018 Met Gala Red Carpet

Amal Clooney in Richard Quinn with George by her side

Before I left the office tonight, my friend and coworker, Courtney, remarked that tonight’s Met Gala was the equivalent of a Super Bowl to anyone else. She wasn’t wrong! I put in the extra hours of work this weekend so that I could free up my Monday evening to work on crafting this post. Before I came home, I also went out for a glass of wine with a friend so that I could a) appreciate every look for the piece of art that is and b) to let my true opinions for every outfit shine through! Throughout the day in all my meetings, I was closely watching the coverage seeing bits and pieces here and there, but never spoiling it all for myself until I was able to digest it when I got home. I can’t imagine a better photograph to kick start this post.

This year’s 2018 exhibition was “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination.”

2017 Oscars After Parties

Elizabeth Banks in Elie Saab (this is so unbelievably stunning)

Nobody loves a red carpet more than I do. (Well maybe Ryan and Giuliana) but I don’t mess around on award show days and Sunday afternoons with the red carpet have a special reservation in my day planner. However, while everyone is anticipating THE red carpet, I’m also getting ready for my second wave – the red carpet of the after parties. This is where some of the most daring looks of the night come out. We’ve been doing this post after the award shows red carpet for years so if you’ve been with us awhile, this is nothing new to you. However, if you are new – welcome.

2016 Oscars After Party

Brie Larson in Monse

This is my favorite because The Oscars red carpet tends to be very grand and conservative, but the after party is when things start to get a little bit sexier and you know all the stars that weren’t invited to the actual award show get to come out so that’s nice for them.

We HAD to kick this post off with Brie. Honestly, how could we not? Also, oh my goodness – is she wearing pink velvet? She not only was the best dressed of the night, but clearly the most comfortable the rest of the night. We just want to be friends with her.

Oscars 2016 Red Carpet

Saoirse Ronan in custom Calvin Klein

*swoon* oh my gosh, isn’t she a vision? I was debating between using Saoirse or Alicia for the first photo of this post, but when it came down to it, I had to pick this one. The sequins, the Emerald green and the s/o to her Irish heritage is absolutely perfect. This is the perfect look for the nominated actress.

2014 Met Gala

I can’t believe it’s time already for the most fashionable night of the year! It’s crazy to think that a year has already gone by. I feel like I was making the 2013 post just last month. This year’s theme is White Tie and Decorations.

Of course we’re kicking things off with Queen Bey and Jay.
