Ambar's Thoughts Covers The Golden Globes part 1.5

A few days have passed. I've slept on it, and I still have no clue if I like these dresses or not. So I bring to you the meh pile...

Zoe Saldana in a Louis Vuitton dress. I like her, and I think the dress is ok from the waist up. But it has waaay too much going on in the bottom.

Olivia Wilde wearing Gucci. I actually like this dress, a lot. I just don't love it.

Fergie with an extremely boring Elie Saab gown. I don't like that color on her. Second, it's too plain, too boring, too BLAH! And her hair and makeup are amazing...for a day on the beach, or maybe even shopping. It's not a bad look, and it's not a bad dress, it was just on the wrong person on the wrong day.

Jennifer Aniston aka the MOTHER of all things boring on this planet wearing a Valentino dress. Dear Jen, I have nothing against you, really. I laugh at your movies, and Friends will always be one of my fave TV shows EVER!!! But Jesus girl, stop being so boring!!!! Oh and I think you're a bit TOO old for that slit on your dress. It's a bit inappropriate despite the fact that you DO have the body to pull it off.

Sigourney Weaver in an emerald green gown. I love everything about it, specially the color [that was the color of my prom dress]. PERFECTION here, just not Perfection plus Amazingness [lol, those are my fave, FAVE ones on this post.]

I have NO clue who she is, goes by the name of Alicja Bachleda and I LOVE her dress!!!! I think she should've pulled it up a lil' bit, but it's so flattering on her.... sigh

I feel like these awards were ages ago!!! Anywhozers, I'm here pseudo dead [code: for EXTREMELY tired] Boo! Also, what the eff is up with this crazy weather?!?!?! Someone explain now, thanks. I'm working on a bunch of little projects and I'm really excited. I have to contain myself from posting 10+ times a day LOL. I'm off to bed taking some pictures.

How are you guys doing?

Happy middle-of-the-week!! Besos XO

Ambar's Thoughts Covers The Golden Globes

The 67th annual Golden Globes that is. And no I was not there. When I say cover I mean look at the pictures and criticize. I'm tired, so let's just talk about the best dressed people of the night and leave the WORST.OMG.How.could.they dressed people for another post.

Now, everybody knows I DO NOT WATCH TV. Except, obviously for events like this one. [And the VS fashion show, DUH!] Now, in no particular order here are my favorite dresses.

Jane Krakowski in this purple piece by J. Mendel. I loved it. Loved the color, the style, the elegance. The one shoulder. This was all perfect for me.

Julie Bowen. Maybe I'm drawn to black, but this lovely piece by Georges Hobeika stole my heart. I loved how she wore her hair up and added statement earrings. I think it was the perfect compliment to the bare shoulders.

Kate Hudson in Marchesa. I love the dress, love the color, love her simple, light makeup, love her nail color, love the earrings, but most definitely, HATE the shoes. I think she looked fantastic, like always, but OMG closed pumps??? REALLY?

Cameron Diaz in Alexander McQueen. Hi Cameron, can you be my best friend? Ok thanks. Adorable. She paired her gorgeous, red gown with equally gorgeous, red lips. Her hair was up, which was very convenient weather wise, but also looked great.

Jennifer Westfeldt in a very classy, strapless, black and white gown. Ok, is it me or does everybody wanna get married in that dress? No? Just me? Ok, no problem. Yes, I loved it THAT much. I think it is the perfect mix between appealing and delicate.

Lisa Edelstein. Simple yet elegant, which made her a best dressed in my list. I would have done something different with the hair, but then again it WAS raining cats and dogs here.

Chloe Sevigny in Valentino. This dressed had me confused for a sec there. It looked OK, until I saw her move in it.The way it flows and moves along with you. I fell in love. I still don't love the color, but the style won me over.

I think that's gonna be it for now. I have some few dresses that I'm still not sure if they're good or bad, they're just in the meh pile. So, did you like these styles? Which one was your favorite? I can't wait to post about the worst dressed.

What's on my purse?

I have seen many posts like this one, and just got inspired to do my own. I always find it so interesting to know what other women carry around in their purses, especially if they're big like mine. So here it is, all the stuff I always carry around in my big black Nine West purse.

There you have it:

• Ralph Lauren sunglasses
• Estee Lauder makeup bag [picture below]
• Guess? wallet
• Blackberry
• Sony Cybershot
• Valentino glasses
• Keys
• USB
• My cute little purse hanger thingy [if this has a name, please let me know]
• Business card holder [they match, I know! so cute]
• My Paul Mitchell brush, which I am not proud of at the moment, but I just can't live without it
• Tea tree oil facial blotting tissues
• Heart shaped coin holder
• Pink bag full of necessary stuff [you will also see details below]

Makeup bag

A shout out to my mother in law who gave me this super cute makeup bag last time we visited. I love it! Ok, in here you will always find my Estee Lauder Double-Wear compact, which is also really good. My Cover Girl fantastic bronzer, the brush I use to apply it is also Estee Lauder. My Almay concealer, I used to use Cover Girl forever, I gave Almay a try, and is also really good. My little MAC studio finish concealer, which I only use when I have breakouts, it works wonders! it covers spots completely, I use the black brush to apply it. Also, two of my eyeliners [from all three of them]. Here I have Prestige in black/brown and Jordana in cool aqua, they look great when you wear them together. Tip: apply the blue one first, and the darker one on top. Chap-aid lip balm is a must, although my new amazing lipstick [expect review soon] works just as one, plus it gives you color. It's Revlon Beyond Natural in Nude. And last but definitely not least, my mascara, drum roll please, Maybelline's Colossal Volum Express...ah-ma-ZING!!!! I do have to apply a few coats to get the desired look, but who cares right?

Pink bag

In here, I carry all that necessary stuuf, that isn't always necessary, but you just never know. I have cotton swabs for eyeliner/mascara emergencies. Tictacs, well you know for what. Travel size baby lotion, and travel size Secret deodorant. Oral B dental floss, hand sanitizer, a nail clipper, antibiotic ointment, hydrocortisone [because my skin is so sensitive everything gives me a rash you see. Also, mini sun lotion, Cetaphil SPF 50, again for those kinds of emergencies, black eyeliner, just in case and that tiny round thing carries pills, such as Aleve, Peptos & Excedrin for those chronic migraines I'm always randomly getting.

Finally, my purse, the one that goes with my almost everywhere, almost everyday.
