There are many more pictures to come from Friday and Saturday's show. If you attended the shows, love to hear which designers you enjoyed watching.This year Oscar’s red carpet, in my opinion, was one of the best. Very few red carpet misses, instead there were so many fabulous dress, quite a few I wish I could call my own. I had a hard time picking my top 5 favorite looks.
My #1 dress pick of the night is this absolutely gorgeous black Prada dress. I would kill have this dress! I love everything about this dress, the great beaded detail, the sweetheart neckline and the classic hour glass silhouette. It is the perfect little black evening dress.
My #2 pick is Diane Kruger in Chanel. Mr. Karl Lagerfeld you can do no wrong. I am a huge fan of Chanel and this dress if fabulous. The color is fantastic, the dress is elegant, yet very simple and feminine.
My #3 is Ellie Saab Haute Couture watercolor pastel dress. This spring dress was a nice break in the sea of formal evening gowns. The various shade of color is the prefect mix to elicit feelings of spring.
My favorite gold dress of the evening is Cameron in Oscar de la renta and she looks just stunning in it. This dress is reminds me of old Hollywood Glamour.
Purple pom pom dress, how can you not smile while admiring this dress. This over the top Givenchy Haute Couture dress is fun, flirty and bold. The best part of this dress is the pom pom mini train. I don’t think anyone else could have carried this off but Zoe Saldana.
I was sad to leave Vancouver great weather and all the Olympic fun. I still can’t get over how green Vancouver is at this time of year, it felt like summer ! Well, being a Calgarian it would seem like summer, seeing as how we will still have snow and cold weather for a few more months.
One of my favorite venues was the Russia House, which was located at the Vancouver Science Center. It was the largest house as Russia is the next hosting Country for the 2014 Winter Olympics.
On my way to the Russia House, I past the athlete’s village where these Russian athletes were headings.
Great display of Russia Olympic team uniforms.
In the Russia house they had a huge area in which you could sit and watch Olympic sporting events. There were many exhibits to see in the Russia house, of which I tried to take pictures of. However, I got a bit tiered of waiting for people to pass, so I wouldn’t have to many random heads in my pictures. This was a hard thing to do, since it was absolutely packed !
If you wanted, you could take a pictures with one of the Russian’s olympic torch bearer. I opted not to as the line up was long.
Another beautiful day in Vancouver !
At the back of the athlete’s village were the flags of very country participating in the Vancouver Olympics.
On the way to the Quebec house along the bay was hundred upon hundred of inuit inukshuk sculptures. It was an absolute amazing site to see.
I couldn’t leave without seeing the Olympic Cauldron. It is surround by a chain link fence. If you wanted a picture of the Cauldron without the fence in the background or to get a closer look of it, once again you had to stand in a very long line to walk up to a podium to do so. Instead I got my 6 foot boyfriend to stand on a tall parking barricade to take a picture of the cauldron.
The crowds of people at the Olympic Cauldron was insane. Can you spot the tourist from Calgary? Gotta love the white cowboy hat!
One of my favorite things while in Vancouver, was the drive through Stanley Park at night. The scenery was absolutely beautiful You can see the Olympic Cauldron from the other side with out the eyesore of the fence being in the way. Pan Pacific Hotel lit each of their sails in a color of an Olympic ring, it was really pretty. Unfortunate my camera is not the greatest for taking night pictures and I couldn’t get a great close up of it.
I am absolute trilled that I was able to be in Vancouver for the Olympics. It is an experience I will never forget and so very glad I did.
