Top 10 Oscar Moments: Fashion, Fun, and ...Food?

The 2014 Oscars were not short on fashion, fun, and apparently food! Ellen brought the humor, celebs brought the fashion, and artists brought the music. There were so many great moments but here are my top 10:

10. Meryl Streep
Meryl never ceases to amaze when she takes on a role and it shows were her record breaking 18 oscar nominations! 

9. Pharrel's Style 
Pharrel Williams always has a unique take on fashion. He pushes boundaries and makes a statement. So of course the Oscars was another outlet to show his style 

8. U2 performs 'Ordinary Love'
One of my favorite songs my them? Performance was simple and beautiful.

7. Jared Leto Suit & Speech
Loved the suit and the speech was moving, mentioning his mother and acknowledging AIDS victim just shows how much he deserves that award

6. Pharrel Dance Party 
Pharrel brought the crowd to it's feet and made the move, by coming down and doing a "happy" dance with them

5. Pink sings and looks beautiful 
She sounded wonderful during her tribute to Judy Garland and her dress was 'Ruby Red' Radiant 

4. Ellen's Pizza Party! 
I would've loved to be at the Oscars enjoying a yummy slice of cheese pizza! I might've had 3 slices

3. Jump for Joy ! 
12 Years a Slave wins for Best Picture and Director Steve McQueen shows his well deserved enthusiam 

2. Lupita WINS !! 
The gorgeous and talented Lupita Nyong'o wins for her performance in 12 Years A Slave, her gown and speech were beautiful! "..your dreams are Valid"

1. SELFIE !!!!!
The group selfie that crashed twitter and received over 2 million Retweets!! Ellen did what she wanted to do and made history! Best selfie ever !

Organize ME!

Why wait till Spring to clean out and organize your room or home? Set the tone for the rest of the New Year with a few easy ways to stay organized and save some money.

1. Bath & Body Works for Organizing:
For those who love a big, awesome smelling candle like I do, Don't the throw out the container when its done, reuse it to keep things organized. Take that glass container and clean out the rest of the candle wax and use it to hold your make up, or brushes, or maybe your pens at work.


 



















2. Save those Box Tops (& Bottoms):
Sometime we're too quick to throw out those fragrance boxes, purse or shoes boxes. Most of those boxes are too nice to just throw out, reuse them to wrap a gift, store old photos, or use them to separate clothes in your drawers.

(Marc Jacobs fragrance box) 

(Juicy Couture box) 


3. Ghirardelli not just for Chocolate:
Ever gotten a big gift basket or (as my family got for Christmas) a big Ghirardelli gift box? Well those baskets and boxes are great things to save! I loved the chest Ghirardelli puts their chocolate in and found a great storage spot for my many sunglasses.








































So remember to Reuse, Reuse, Reuse!! Save and Stay Fabulous!!!

Celebs and designers alike have been styling these beanies. Such as Rihanna, Rita Ora, Living Royal, and Jil Sander. Want a fabulous beanie of your own? Well Tara Patrice Designs has added some funky, fun beanies just for you!! So go shop and rock a trendy beanie this season!

New Year, New You, New Miu

Its a new year and new things are in the works for myself and for many designers all around. One of my new favorites is the funky, fun, and fabulous Miu Miu Resort collection! From the bold colors and flirty prints this resort wear would make anyone stand out above the rest. My favorite is the music note dress which continues the black and white trend. Another favorite is the dazzling, jeweled denim jacket. Has somewhat of an 80's vibe but still fresh and new. Like Miu Miu, I am delving into the prints this season, especially with my line of cheetah bags. So take a look at the Miu Miu Resort Collection, enjoy your new year, and buy a new item for yourself, whether its fabulous Miu Miu or Tara Patrice Design !
