  • to vie- to compete very hard with someone in order to get something, eg. She was surrounded by men all vying for her attention. A row of restaurants vying with each other for business
  • reminiscent - of something or somebody: reminding you of something or somebody, - literary: thinking about the pas, eg. The way he laughed was strongly reminiscent of his father. She writes in a style reminiscent of both Proust and Faulkner.
  • a lace- 1.(uncountable): a fine cloth made with patterns of many very small holes, eg. a lace handkerchief ,a tablecloth edged with lace, lase curtains 2.(countable, usually plural):  a string that is pulled through special holes in shoes or clothing to pull the edges together and fasten them, eg. Your laces are undone.
  • to make cut - to meet or come up to a required standard, eg.The young player did not make the cut and was unable to join the team that year. Some say if Pluto were discovered today instead of 75 years ago, it woundn't make the cut.

83rd Annual Academy Awards was big night for entire movie industry, but not only. It is also the most glamorous night in Hollywood. Therefore it makes it important to fashion designers, who have the opportunity to expose their creations on celebrities. Stars and designers didn't disappoint at this year's Academy Awards ceremony.
Natalie Portman in dress by Rodarte and Mila Kunis in outfit by Ellie Saab were pretty in purple.
Jennifer Lawrence (Calvin Klein Collection) and Anne Hathaway wore eye-catching crimson.
Scarlett Johansson in dress by D&G and Penelope Cruz also went with red. Both of them wore their hair loose and fringy.
Both Halle Berry and Hailee Steinfeld arrived in nude gowns by Marchesa.
The most glamorous and understated elegant look had Michelle Williams in white, sequinned gown by Chanel, as well as, keeping relatively low key style, Reese Witherspoon who arrived in a black and white strapless dress, perhaps doing a Julia Roberts homage.
All designers attended Academy Awards,too and they all looked phenomenal, as well.

Here I am

Hello Everybody,
I did it !!! I created my own blog.
I decided to start strait away, after coming back home from school, while I still remember the instructions.
I spent quite a lot of time playing with layout design and I have to say I really enjoyed it.
That's why I will not write much today, because it is getting late and I'm tired.
I'm just glad to get started  and share it with you.
Good luck to us all with this upcoming project.
I'm sure we will have a lot of fun doing it :)
