Red Carpet Fashion: Academy Awards 2012

First of all - thank you to everyone who followed my live tweets for this year's awards season!! I always have so much fun and really enjoy seeing what everyone else is saying about the red carpet! I also have to give a shoutout to some lovely ladies - Katie & Melanie - who have watched all the season long with me! Now let's talk about all the looks we saw from Sunday's show! Trends were spotted and included whimsical white gowns, dazzling diamond necklaces, sequins galore and pops of pastels. My picks are littered with a few of each so let's get down to it!
