Red Carpet Highlights: {The Oscars 2012}

When the awards season comes around every year the anticipation builds awaiting to see what the fancy Hollywood figures will be wearing.  It is borderline superficial but I just can't help looking at all the elegant gowns and the perfect touches of accessories to match.  There's absolutely nothing wrong with going all out to look and feel beautiful, even only for a night.
