Nicely Done

Note to Natalie Portman:

As I looked at this photo I thought about how I loved your mustard color dress, especially how you paired it with tights and a blazer. Then I read that your dress was from the Rodarte collection for Target, and I loved this whole look a little bit more. Thank you for showing that you can get a dress from Target, wear it to an event, and look fabulous. So Natalie, you shop at Target... I shop at Target, I think this means we were destined to be friends. Don't you agree?

Note to Readers:

I love that Target brings in amazing designers to produce small, limited-time collections. I love Rodarte but unfortunately their beautiful work is not in my budget. Until now. Thanks Target.

Now if only we could get people to stop calling it "Tar-zhay" (insert eyeroll here).

Oscar Report: Natalie Portman

Note to Natalie Portman:

You were, in my opinion the best dressed on Oscar night. I love everything about this pleated Rodarte gown. I love the way the bodice is constructed with a bit of shimmer peeking through the beautifully draped fabric. The color is unique, and not one you see in formal wear very often. I am surprised I like the color, pink usually makes me think of princess-like prom dresses, but I like this hue of pink in this particular gown. You have a petite frame, but this dress does not overwhelm you. You wore subtle diamond accessories, that work very well with your look. I saw you at a concert in LA last summer, and was amazed at how beautiful you are in person. I can only imagine how amazing this dress looked on you in real life.
