The Academy Awards

The Oscars this year are proving to be amazing! Seth MacFarlane is very funny and the musical performances have been great. The theme of the dresses on the red carpet this year is very simple and elegant. My top 5 dress picks were very easy to choose this year. They are:

Jessica Chastain in glamorous Armani Prive

Amanda Seyfried wearing Alexander McQueen (I also loved the red dress she wore during the Les Mis performance)

Catherine Zeta Jones sparkled in Zuhair Murad

Jennifer Aniston stunned in Valentino

My favorite ~ Jennifer Lawrence wearing Dior Haute Couture

And... the cutest couple award goes to Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck

I just realized that there are three Jennifer's on this list... I guess Jennifer is just a really amazing name : )

Trident Cafe

My go-to lunch/brunch spot in Boston is the Trident Cafe on Newbury Street. Not only is it a cozy cafe but it also is a well-stocked book store. The food is delicious and the atmosphere is so much fun! My favorite dishes are the momos and the sweet potato fries (make sure to ask for the curry and bbq mayo dipping sauces)!

Wake Up Call Juice with Apple, Carrot, and Ginger ~ All fresh!

Half Steamed and Half Fried Momos ~ Handmade Tibetan Vegetarian Dumplings

Prosciutto and Melted Brie Sandwich ~ with Fig and Arugula and a side of sweet potato fries! So yummy!

Paperman

Just in time for Valentine's day,  the Disney short "Paperman" has been nominated for Best Animated Short at the Oscars. It's a charming romantic comedy set in New York during the 1940's. Watch it for a quick smile!
