getting red carpet ready.

Magically, I looked at the calendar this morning and realized it was Thursday...
which means today is my Friday {insert happy squeals!} and 
it's almost time for another {very special} round of Friday's Fancies!

Today, I'm giving you a sneak peek into what's inspiring my look for tomorrow,
be it the perennial plunging backs of the red carpet gowns or the big bling
that Hollywood's finest get to sport.


Want to create your own red carpet look?  Link up with Friday's Fancies!
When money is no object, you really can create your dream red carpet look...
and let's be honest, who hasn't dreamed of dressing up like a movie star
and getting out of the limo with some arm candy?


{Not so down with the red carpet thing...don't worry! 
You can create your what-I'd-be-wearing-if-money-grew-on-trees
outfit for whatever occasion you like. Click here to see some previous posts!}

The link-up begins Friday at midnight, so start dreaming!
This week, you'll have the added bonus of participating in a
fantastic blog crawl if you play along!


{Don't forget to stop by ashley nicole catherine for today's blog crawl post!}

Can't wait to see all your Friday's Fancies :)
xoxo {av}

P.S. Many of you have been asking what program to use to build your 
Friday's Fancies...when I started this series, I used Picasa. 
Now, I use Photoshop and Illustrator. The good news is that most people use Polyvore 
and it works like a charm...just watch out, you might get addicted!

  10. I love these dresses. Yep, I have always wanted an excuse to wear a glamorous gown. It just isn't the same wearing it around your apartment.

  13. I'm happy I stumbled upon your blog. I knew I would like it as soon as I read the title. I am in a long distance relationship too...sort of! My boyfriend and I have been dating for almost 4 years. Two in college and two in the real world! We both went to the University of Alabama where he played baseball and after graduation he was drafted by the Phillies, so he is playing minor league trying to work his way up to the big times and is gone 6 months of the year!! He is about to leave again for the long, long season the beginning of March! AHH anyways, feel your pain and happy you are blogging too!!

  19. Gosh, I'm going to have to narrow down my decisions this evening...I've got 3 little numbers picked out...but the bigger concern is the eye candy. Since the hunny isn't into the Oscar's...I thought I should bring a veteran...maybe some Jakey-poo or Ryan Reynolds...hmmmm...decisions, decisions:)
