The first day of the Spring was a surprise {at least here in Madrid}, cause you imagina sun, flowers, birds... and the first thing I saw that day was SNOW. For the first time this year, I saw snow, not in winter, not, the first day of Spring. A little crazy, I know.
But our spring spirit is the same, so today, let's see some birds for clothes, for home & for life!

ps: I'm watching "Inception", so as fast as it ends, I will comment you back. For the momento I don't understand ANYTHING.
I don't know if you remember that pinky promise I made you some days ago, but I always keep my promises, and even more if they're pinky one!
The picture is, because, FINALLY!!! I have the Carnival pictures!! Better late than never.
Truth is that, this post, is about my friend & her family's costumes. I can do a post about Carnival, with pictures of different people if you want it, but I think they deserve a post just for them, really.
CLARIFICATIONS:
#1 Everything you're going to see is real
#2 Everything you're going to see was handmade by them (toys, clothes, etc)
#3 They told me that this is the year they spent less time working on their costumes (I'm sorry, I don't believe them)
First of all, a little explanation about their costumes: they're children of an English boarding school. Every one of them carries a toy.
{this is the teacher. We could call her "Mrs Rottenmeier"}
{this is the baby one}
{the rest of the kids}
{a close up of one of them}
{a close up of one of my fav toys: the stroller ❤}
{love the bike too!}
{look at me. in the back. totally freaked out}
{firemen!!}
{the best thing is their happiness}
{getting ready!}
{dancing!!}
{last rehearsel}
{Carnival's parade}
{picture with the artist please!!! T❤}
hope you enjoy this post! I'm sure not so much as we did being there, but I hope you enjoy it anyway, and if you have any chance to visit Toledo to know their Carnival, DO IT.
xo
ps: the Carnival's parade you see on the video, is in the little town, where there are not more than 1600 of population. But after this, we went to the big town, Toledo, to the important parade. They finished 3rd in the competition!!! But last weekend, in other town, they finished 1st!!!
It seems nothing has changed from that moment, when my adored Audrey hepburn won her Oscar as best actress for Roman Holiday. Actually, it does: on the red carpet we see, year after year, less glamour, less class, less beautiful dresses.
But, well, life is hard!
Thank god, we still have some people who really wow us with their dresses, so let's see! I've thought that, like on Oscars' red carpet there were not so many "cute dresses", I'm going to show pictures from the Vanity Fair's Oscar party & Elthon John AIDS Foundation Party too.
Let's start with this last one:
{remember, click on pictures to enlarge them}
{Dita Von Teese. Marvellous!!}
{Irina Shayk. What can I say? Just... wow}
{special mention for Alessandra Ambrosio. How cute is a pregnant woman?? Look at her face, she has that glow!!}
And now, some people I didn't like:
{Petra Nemcova. Ughh, she's so fu***g beautiful that seeing her with this horrible dress really makes me mad!!}
{Two questions about Miley Cyrus: #1 WHAT IS SHE DOING ON THIS EVENT?!? #2 Why does she try to be Marilyn Monroe?}
Vanity Fair Oscar Party
{Victoria Beckham was one of my fav of VF Oscar Party!}
{Diane Kruger. Other of my fav, no news, she has so much class!!}
{Gwyneth Paltrow. Simple & angelic. She wore the same dress on Oscars celebration. Love the hairstyle.}
{Kate Beckinsale. Love her dress!!! Ok, it's not the best dress I've seen in my life, it's just that, if you remember, on the last post about Golden Globes, I called her "the same every year". Ok, she broke up with that nickname!}
{Katie Holmes. She looks a princess!!}
And now, the worst:
{on the order: Amy Adams: it's not a trip to the moon!, Claire Danes: so cute, and a horrible dress, bad combo!, January Jones: I get what she wanted, but it didn't work, sorry :S, Rosario Dawson: Im' sorry, but Carnival is over...}
OSCARS:
A video before, with some of the dresses on the red carpet:
What can I say about Oscars red carpet?? Disappointment (yeah, once more). In fact, I don't know what to show you. Of course there were beautiful dresses (Milla Jovovich on Elie Saab, for example), but nothing unexpected. So I decided to show the worst, and THE best! {guess who?}
{Cameron Diaz. Every time I see her, I wonder what has she done to have that face, I don't have an explanation, so if you have, tell me, because I can't understand why she has her face that way. I didn't like the dress, in fact I think it was uglier than her face}
{JLo. She hurts me. I mean, she's beautiful, a good singer, a good actress.... why does she insist on wearing "not her size" dresses??}
{competition on the stage: who's the worst??}
{problems with the size once more, but the opposite this time. And it's your second time, Sandra}
{another strange thing on the red carpet, Esperanza Spalding. I don't know if she was trying to be a fairy or whatever she wanted, but it looks so strange. And please, a clothes iron for this woman...}
{Missi Pyle & Virginia Madsen. I don't like them}
When I see all these dresses on the Oscars red carpet, I wonder {yeah, I talk a lot with myself, in fact I'm a very good friend of myself, any problem??} if they maybe do it because thay just want people to talk about them, as the best, or as the worst. What do you think?? You think the best is "people talking about me, I don't mind if it's for good, or for bad"??
And now, let's go with the best.
{Maria Menounos. I really liked this dress!!}
Don't be afraid!! I'm sure you guessed who was my favorite!!!!
So, THE BEST WAS:
ANGELINA JOLIE.
PERFECTION is the meaning of Angelina Jolie. Her dress is amazing, the make up & the hairstyle are flawless. she's STUNNING!
Here you have some more pics on the red carpet:
She was wearing Versace.
A video:
On the stage:
I couldn0t find a good video of her on the stage, but she was amazing. Look at that leg!! Somebody created a twitter called: Angelina Jolie's leg hahahaha HILARIOUS.
Inside the ceremony:
Oh, of course:
Congrats Meryl on your third Oscar. You deserve it!!!
I loved her speech on the stage, you can see it on this link
And waht about you, guys?? Who was your best/worst dressed??
