And the winner of Best Dressed on the Oscars Red Carpet is… a tie! Between Lupita Nyong’o (who was pearl-fection in custom-made Calvin Klein work of art) and Anna Kendrick (who was peach perfect in a gown designed by Thakoon). Neil Patrick Harris was a decent host. The jokes and bits were so-so, but I did nod …

Valentine’s Day. The day when love is in the air and everything is red and pink and heart-shaped all over (just a few of my favourite things).
