Glitz and Glam

Tomorrow night is the Oscars, and everyone knows that it has nothing to do with awards or honors. It's the outfits, baby. So, typical me, I waited til the last minute to pick out what to wear. Oh, what to wear. First, I have to go with Vera Wang. I mean come on, who does like Vera Wang? This full length evening gown is in ebony satin with a lace trim v-neck and grosgain ribbon straps. The slit front gathers into a pleated front seam with tucks along the waist and also has a fishtail hem. Sleek, sexy, elegant, timeless. Retail value: $600

Then one cannot go out on the red carpet without donning Jimmy Choo's. I had a hard time deciding, sandles or slingbacks. Satin or ribbon or jewels. In the end I went with a pair of 4 in stelleto sandals in black satin adorned with 10 large stones each. Mmm, shoes. Retail value: $650

An outfit is never complete without the ice. And nobody does ice better than Tiffany's, of course. The jewelry is a hard choice. It has to stand out and say 'Hey, everybody check out my bling.' Without out doing the rest of the outfit. So, I went with Tiffany Lace single row drop necklace with 5 carots of round diamonds, 60 4MM cultered pearls set in platinum. Retail value: a mere $25,000

And the earings to match. Also Tiffany Lace with .2 carots of round diamonds, 2 7MM cultured pearls set in platinum. Retail value: $2200
