The Oscars Edition

The glamour of the Oscars may be over, but we’ve preserved the best (and perhaps funniest) tweets we read that night.

@dkny: Well Sandra’s certainly been skipping the cupcakes. I wish I could say the same.
Us, too. Our excuse is that we weren’t invited to the Oscars, so what’s a few cupcake calories?

@WhoWhatWear: Can someone give me a bright lip please? Or just a lip? Anyone? Bueller? #peopleoscars
What happened to the trend of bold, bright lipstick? Seriously lacking on the red carpet this year.

@thecoveteur: All we care about is the status of Bradley Cooper’s hair. Cc @ilariaurbinati #tcrealtalk #wallgroupies #Oscars
There was gel. Lots of gel. (Apparently George Clooney was the only one who missed the memo.)

@elementstyle: Someone get Kristen a brush and some enthusiasm for life
And maybe a pair of black-tie crutches.

@refinery29: Going to work out now. Bye. Thanks Jane Fonda.
If we can’t get the workout secrets, can someone give us the number for her doctor?

@thecoveteur: “Sweatpants are a sign of defeat. You lost control of your life so you bought some sweatpants.” – Karl Lagerfeld instagr.am/p/V7To6sRBeq/
If you call the sign of defeat not moving from the couch on Sundays, then yes. Guilty.

@ManRepeller: Not sure if you’re wondering, but I am listening to The Black Eyed Peas under bed covers in a plaid onesie.
WWKLD What would Karl Lagerfeld do (or say)?

@elementstyle: Cake. I wish I had cake.
Things that would make Wednesday infinitely better.

@mindykaling: Thanks about my WGA dress, guys. It’s Saint Laurent and shoes, too. The sleeves covered a burn on my arm I got last week.
When long sleeves come in handy.

@HotelFoxtrot: Leaving the gym, purple yoga pants and purple winter coat, not a well planned out outfit, I kinda look like Grimace.
Or a really fit Barney.

@TheEllenShow: New York Fashion Week started yesterday. So far, it’s a lot of parkas and galoshes. #NYFW
If only Fashion Week could wait for the weather to warm up. It’s hard to make those parkas look good.

@a_tuts: I wore my sock bun way too tight today. I feel like JLo at the grammys. ouch
Minus the too-much-leg exposure. (Hopefully.)

@katespadeny: always accept a calendar invitation that includes a champagne toast. #popfizzclink
We’ll also never say no to invites that come with canapés and shrimp cocktail.

@elementstyle: I thought my new sweater was cute until I realized I look like a giant sock monkey.
Beneficial only when trying to entertain a classroom full of preschoolers.

@calivintage: and here i thought a blizzard was a delicious treat from dairy queen…
The only good kind of blizzard, in our opinion.

@ManRepeller: Why is there no such thing as a fashion week half time show?
And why couldn’t Beyoncé star in one?

@casslavalle: what’s better than chocolates on valentine’s day? churros. definitely, churros. bit.ly/11ngHsM
Absolutely. And better than that? Churros served atop a plate of chocolates.

@shannonwoodward: Meetings were way more fun when I was a kid because they were in tree houses. HINT HINT EXECUTIVE TYPES.
And now we know what to talk about during our next big meeting.

@oliviawilde: Kate Moss says “nothing tastes as good as skinny feels”? Huh. I’m pretty sure that’s because you live in England, dude.
For sure. We’re pretty confident that nobody who’s tasted foie gras, truffle fries, or gnocchi would ever dream of saying that.

@jessetyler: How is a tweet about “Downton Abbey” a spoiler when it aired in London 12 years ago?
Touché, Jesse. Touché.

@dkny: I just asked if I could have a conf call instead of walking to another bldg because of my 5″ heels. #truestory
#fashiongirlproblems

@rachaelreally: I’m a sucker for creepy or odd jewelry. I’m not sure where that stems from. I was probably traumatized as a child and now I’m regressing.
We don’t even want to think about what that creepy jewelry might look like.

@erniebufflo: Fashion word I hate: “snood.” Can’t we go with “circle scarf” or “cowl”? A snood is what a cafeteria lady wears on her hair, right?
Also on our hate list: slanket, onesie, and gaucho.

@Caradelevingne: Don’t worry! My eyebrows are like a boomerang, they always come back
Comforting thoughts for the next time our eyebrow tech is a little overzealous.

@MollieinSeattle: The music I’m currently listening to sounds like a robot and a cheese grader got caught up in a food processor and then put into a blender.
Sounds… relaxing.

@Bethenny: Holy freeze balls it is cold in New York!
When the temps are this frigid, nothing else describes it properly.

@alexa_chung: Piano app and bath time. I am five.
We miss bath time. Old apartment showers don’t do our adult lives justice.

@lenadunham: I know what it’s like to be pulled back from death and appreciate life more since I dropped my cell phone in the toilet and it still works
#FirstWorldProblems becoming #FirstWorldWins. Or something.

@OscarPRGirl: winter white. she’s like i’m just gonna carry these branches, ok? http://tmblr.co/Z1NI-xcPhCcb
And boy, does she rock those branches.

@BravoAndy: I am in a suit under a blanket. Is that weird?
Depends on the context. If it’s at a business meeting, definitely. But on second thought… you’re right, it’s weird no matter how you swing it.

Our Golden Globes Edition

We know, we know, the Golden Globes happened on Sunday, but that doesn’t mean we can ignore the amount of live tweeting that went on. Here, a look at some of our favorite 140-character blurbs from the evening.

@elementstyle: Tommy Lee Jones did not look tickled.
Golden Globes understatement of the century.

@SusanCernek: Aces wife-husband move, Garner. I know who runs those parent-teacher conferences now, too.
You tell ‘em, Susan.

@MarlowNYC: Every star’s pronunciation of ‘Les Miserables’ is the new Schmidt’s pronunciation of ‘Chutney’ on #NewGirl #GoldenGlobes
Can we start a petition to have Schmidt’s character be the next Golden Globes host?

@rachnasays: Leo always gets snubbed.
Can the Academy (or someone) PLEASE give Leo a chance?! Poor man is only getting older.

@heykmenz: Jennifer Lawrence and Amanda Seyfried may now begin facing off to be my new BFF.
We have a feeling JLaw might beat out Amanda. (You know, there was that whole Hunger Games thing and all.)

@dkny: drowning today!!! anyone have a chic life preserver?
Sounds like there’s a lucrative opportunity for business wear.

@elementstyle:  Sometimes I have to physically keep myself from typing in “webmd.com“ #worrier
But is it lupus or just a head cold?! We need answers immediately.

@CheetahisNB: Dean & DeLuca is a very dangerous place for me. Went a little crazy sampling cheese.
Other dark, dangerous places: Whole Foods, Godiva, Trader Joe’s, ice cream shops… you get the picture.

@TheCut: Beyoncé is hygienic AND sends handwritten thank you notes. nym.ag/XhYK8P
Jeez, could she be any more perfect? She makes it difficult for the rest of us mortals.

@galadarling: A quick jaunt around the Upper East Side is enough to put you off ever even considering a facelift. The. Horror.
Places not to find your new doctor.

@ciaobella50: Calm and quiet morning after Christmas …. Cappuccino is my best friend
Make that five cappuccinos, and then we’ll talk.

@mrjoezee: I’m hoping the Betty Crocker Easy-Bake oven in a gender-neutral color is under my tree. If not, I’ll have to settle for the Wolf 6-burner.
We’re still waiting for our gender-neutral oven… 20+ years and counting…

@kattanita: Mrs. Doubtfire and a plate full of chocolate chip cookies.
Why does that sound like the best afternoon ever?

@OscarPRGirl: williams sonoma is so scary right now.
We’re not sure if you’re talking about the overabundance of holiday décor, or the people shopping there.

@AmandaOleson: Christmas cookies for brunch? Yes please.
Sounds like our post-holiday menu.

@casslavalle: Testing cocktails recipes at 3pm. because there may be no health benefits for the self employed, but there are alcoholic ones #happyholidays
It’s five o’clock somewhere.

@iamgreenfield: I will love you till the day I diet
So, forever, then?

@OscarPRGirl: voicemail from my dry cleaner: “please call us back we need to discuss this leather skirt with you”
No matter how you look at it, that’s a phone call we never want to have.

@dkny: How many times can I go into my trash & completely blank as to whose email I am searching for? 1000? 100000?
We’re already way past those numbers. 

@DerekBlasberg: On a scale of 1 to a future episode of ‘Hoarders’: How bad is it that I haven’t tossed out last year holiday cards and new ones are coming?
Coming soon to a TV near you: Hoarders – The Christmas Edition.
