2013 grammy awards

once upon a time there was a girl...

her passions - fashion. music. family. friends.

one day, an opportunity arose to attend the 2013 grammy awards.

normally, she would die for this opportunity even knowing nothing about the lineup. 

but this girl, you see, has a very favorite band.

she saw this band on her birthday last year on the third row at the ryman auditorium.

this band is mumford & sons (nominated for six gramys and slated to perform)

it felt like the stars were aligning for a great night.

it seemed like the day would never come...

and then it did.

and i promised to document it...

and so i did.

getting ready.

everyone has a "before" picture, right?

or two?

the accessories. 

the jewelry was all from j. crew

my shoes - vince camuto

pre-event photos.

mom and i both wore bcbg maxazria dresses w/ vince camuto shoes.

so, how did i choose?
a lot of the pricier dresses were one-hit wonders.
i wanted something i could wear again + one i could style with jewelry for days and a pop of shoe.

lipstick: red, red, red by clinique + tom ford spanish pink

all of the ladies

all of us full-length

almost time to go!

inside the show! 

i don't know what to tell you...

the experience was surreal to say the least.

some of the key performances were justin timberlake (nailed it),

rihanna (nails it, always), mumford & sons, the lumineers, 

fun., maroon 5 with alicia keys, bruno mars, elton john...

i could go on and on, but i'll bet most of you watched it!

i will never forget this experience.

CONGRATULATIONS TO MUMFORD & SONS FOR WINNING

ALBUM OF THE YEAR FOR BABEL.
