melissa + details

Okayyy okayyy, so I said Melissa Leo had one of my favorite Oscar dress picks. And yes, I still do like it, regardless of what everyone is saying about it. Although, I don't like it quite as much as I thought I did when she got up for her acceptance speech. Now that I am looking at it closer up, there are definitely some aspects to it that could have been refined - perhaps the gold underlay not looking so heavy or a finer lace. How cute would it be as a short bolero jacket though? I just have a thing for stand up collars.

As I took a closer look at this Marc Bouwer dress, I noticed some cool details on Melissa Leo. Not to mention, she has quite the spunk about her that I really love. I like how she puts a stud in her first ear piercing and a dangle in the second. Subtle, but a little edgy. I also found her spider necklace to be so interesting and unpredictable. I've seen her wear it before, maybe it's a good luck charm? In an interview I found online, she mentions that the spider pendant is designed by her friend Katherine Wallach, who is doing a pop-up boutique on Abbot Kinney in Los Angeles for one month. You can check out Katherine Wallach's Jewelry here, she has a lot of interesting collections.

One thing is for certain, I would rather see someone take a chance at fashion and feel amazing with what they are wearing than being boring, plain, and oh so safe.
