Style Diaries : OSCAR Red Carpet

A Gap must be for a purpose. That is what I feel for my Blogging activeness. Though it may sound an excuse for not posting a single post in a month!! Still, I don't have any regrets as this gap was for my precious time with family, as a doting mother. A Blogger took a backseat for a Mother, I would say. And I hope my readers know what family time actually means :-). So, here I am with some of the finest memories of OSCAR Award Ceremony that was held sometime ago.

Every Occasion has its own charm and OSCAR Red carpet has been remaining to be at it's excellence with each passing years, getting better of course. This time around, some classic silhouette and style were adapted by these celebrities that you probably don't want to miss at all. Take a Glimpse these are my favorite picks.

Bling Factor

There was a lot of Bling moment in latest OSCAR Red Carpet. Most of them were in nude shades and earthy, jewel tones.

Also, does aging means no fun? Not At all. What an example of wearing Emerald, a hit Jewel tone. Sheer Metallic, Bling and sequins with Appliqués and embellishments whatever you like. Take a chance. Bling is here to stay. Lessons learnt: Shine in your own Bling. :-)

Black and White Classic

Have you read this post? I think these celebrities have read my post and wore accordingly (Just kidding)! Black and White are a cult classic and can be repeated year after year.

Anne Hathaway in Prada

Olivia Wilde

Black and White are combination best suited for almost any occasion, from party to office. Channel your inner vixen and mesmerize the world by your Black magic, that's what this OSCAR Red carpet was screaming.

Nude and Blush Babble

While we may feel brighter in color and love to explore, Nude and blush shades make us look somber and calm within. Best part of Nude shade is, you can find every shade of nude as per our complexion.

Kate Hudson

Penelope Cruz

Nude is completely not Racist. There's no any restriction for use of Powder Blue, Blush Pink. These are certainly flattering to every woman of this world and OSCAR 2014 has proved it :-). Yes, Lupita, You've said " No matter where you are from, your dreams are valid !" Respect to you.

I am on serious envy mode (Clothes you see :-), Still we can manage with the hint of styling these shades and colors in our stride. What do you like the most in latest OSCAR event ?

How to use Emerald Green Color

The Pantone press release issued Wednesday night cited an emerald-hued Pantone-Sephora beauty collection to be released in the spring. Pantone's color of the year announcement usually comes with psycho-sociological musings from experts about how the new hue is "encouraging and uplifting" (Honeysuckle in 2011), or evocative of "hope and reassurance" (Mimosa in 2009), or suggestive of "a touch of exoticism" that's just right for the times (Tigerlily in 2004).

This year, Pantone's color of the year for 2013 is Emerald Green. 

It's a happy-go-lucky color and I love emerald green for jewelry and Interior. The color reminds us of simpler things such as grass and Mother Nature as Green is the color of growth, the rich tone is all about luxury, just like jewels and money. Pantone is describing the reason to choose Emerald Green being 'it' color as, “Lively. Radiant. Lush...A color of elegance and beauty that enhances our sense of well-being, balance and harmony."

Now, that's nice, but what does this mean for us ? 

Do we really need to splurge in whatever trend is forecasted ? 

Again, it is upto us how we want to change the overall look. Point is, why not to give the Emerald Green color a try to re vamp your wardrobe (in budget) ? 

If you are trying to spend in new jwellery, do purchase with a emerald one. And if you already have outfits in white, black and Red ( I know you have :-)) , mix and match with Emerald green (again Belts, accessories, shawls). Just use the color in your benefit. Here are some hues of Emerald Green which can make change in our look without spending too much money. Now, that's a good idea. isnt' it ??

Emerald Green trend in Red Carpet

Choose which material in Emerald Green is needed for you and then shop as per your own budget.

Emerald Green Blazer for winter

Emerald Green works best with Black and White. So, team it up.(Hint : Black shoes, Black belts etc)

Emerald Green blends well with grays, whites and muted yellows or blues. So, if you already have clothes and accessories in these color, give Emerald green a try.

We can bring a pop of color to gloomy fall and winter days! Just because winter is rapidly approaching doesn't mean you have to stick to basic black. Adding a rich green will make you feel bright and cheery.

                                  

Emerald is a jewel tone. So, take a hint from jewelry counters and mix it with rich purples, blues, reds, black and golds. It can even blend well with Gold jwelleries.

Good to know while working with Emerald Green color : 

• The color is Lively and radiant just like the nature. All greens look good with bright colors. So, pairing it with bold yellows and oranges for an energizing jolt is a good option for Color Blocking. Can you see how the colors are blended in the bird ! That's it. just combine Emerald green with these natural colors. 
• Emerald blends well with jwell tones. So it can be combined with gold, silver jwelleries (as we all can't afford Diamonds!) and even the gold and silver color. Note the Zig Zag Image above.
