A Black Tie Affair

Sunday night brings the Academy Awards. I just adore watching everyone strut the red carpet in their black tie finest. It gets me all starry-eyed at the prospect of Old Hollywood glamour, vintage couture and what it must be like awash in the flashing lights. Tonight, I'm just wondering what kind of glorious dresses I'm going to get to see. Perhaps the formal wear will be nodding toward the Spring 2012 Runway collections I've been scouring, trying to decide what trends seem do-able outside of the couture arena. (I really adore the vast number of ruffles that are on par for the warm months! There is nothing more feminine than a well-placed ruffle.) I'll just be mooning over these until my Oscar Report....
