Precursor to the Oscars

The Golden Globes are one of the biggest award shows of our time.  Everyone gathers together once a year to recognize the excellence in television and film.  The first Golden Globe Awards were held in January 1944 in the 20th century Fox Studios in Los Angeles.  The stars come for the food, they come for the awards, but most of all, they come for the fashion.   Here are a few of the best and worst dressed at the Golden Globes this year:

Claire Danes- Wearing J. Mendel, Claire looks stunning in this classy but sexy gown.  I love the black and white sleek style but it has some edge thrown in with the studded belt and the cut out back.

 Emma Stone- Emma definitely didn’t need any “Help” looking gorgeous on this night.  She was stunning in a plum and fuschia Lanvin gown at the Golden Globes.  My favorite part of this dress was the eagle belt to make the gown a little more edgy.

 Sofia Vergara- Check out Sofia in her blue, strapless, mermaid Vera Wang gown.  Whether it’s on a beach or on an episode of “Modern Family”, she can pretty much pull off any look.

Dianna Agron- I thought this was an interesting choice but Diana sure did pull it off.  The red always fits nicely for the red carpet look.  The bottom of this Giles gown was decked out in fringe, while the top was a decorative design with swans leading the top.

 Zooey Deschanel- She is such a cute girl and does a great job always trying to stand out in the crowd but maybe it was taken too far this time.  Zooey was seen wearing a black Prada gown covered in emerald green glass pearls.  She defiantly had the crowd looking, that’s for sure.

 Kelly Osbourne- Kelly looks like she stole a dress out of her grandmother’s dress up clothes.  She wore a Zac Posen ocean blue dress with pointed shoulders.  We don’t want anyone’s eye being poked out Kelly, watch out.

Sarah Michelle Gellar- I appreciate your effort to try something different but a tye-dye dress? I think we may want to keep that back in high school days, Sarah.

These Boots Are Made for Walkin’

Living in the South my whole life, I have learned that everyone must own at least one pair of cowboy boots.  These shoes are perfect for a country concert like Rodney Atkins or Lady Antebellum, around campus, or even for the annual Rodeo that is held every year by Alpha Psi fraternity at Auburn. Cowboy boots can range anywhere from $30.00 up to $700.00 or more.  No matter what style, color, or price you are looking for, there is a pair for you! They are sold in almost every state from Alabama to Mississippi and of course Dallas, Texas as shown in a commercial of the Cowboys vs. Dolphins NFL football game on Thanksgiving Day.  Here are just a few different places and price ranges as to where you can find those perfect cowboy boots you have been searching for!
