Good Monday morning, lovelies! How was your weekend? Mine was great. Filled with lots of relaxation and then the Oscars last night ended the weekend on a perfect note. And I was thrilled because all of my favorites won...The King's Speech, Melissa Leo, Christian Bale, Natalie Portman and my ultimate favorite actor Colin Firth. That never happens :)
Of course I'm a little bit tired today because I stayed up late but it was well worth it. Mornings like this call for a little sweetness and lot of caffeine. The perfect way to ease into the week ahead.
How about all of you? How was your weekend? Did you watch the Oscars? What did you think?
xoxo

Exhausting and I took a three day weekend! Three birthday parties, shopping, wedding planning and not a night at home... Started the week with lots of caffeine also! Sal x
Hi Dawn,
I did not watch the Oscars, but look forward to seeing the glamour and the gowns.
Have a beautiful new week, dear friend
Hugs

I have to see The King's Speech! I didn't watch the Oscars but really wanted to.
My weekend was really nice - went horse riding and walked in the forrest:)
Have a nice, stunning week!
Happy SUNDAY dollie, hehehe....glad you had a great weekend....my day off today will be filled with relaxing...and grocery shopping, fun. lol:)
I love the pops of green in this post! So fresh... perfect way to start a Monday! xo
It's a 3-day weekend here in Spain, so still chilling. I had to record the Oscars (because of time-zone differences), so will relax and watch it today. Really pleased Colin Firth did well. As a fellow Brit I always felt he was a little under-estimated.
I stayed up late, too, although just from nerves or whathaveyou. This morning I head out to hang a small photographic show of mine in a regional art center. I would love to be as elegant as that last picture as I sip my coffee.
Could these photos be any more perfect? It's like you always know my favourite things and always inspire me in the most beautiful way. Macarons and tea look delightful right now, and love those sunglasses too! Happy Monday Dawn. :)

i sure did stay up for the oscars and have a super early flight this morning haha!!
Beautiful pictures as always! I didn't watch the oscars, but I am going to check out all the beautiful gowns on the red carpet later!

Enter my Lipstick Giveaway!
I would love to have macarons and teas this morning...! We did watch. Colin Firth is my ultimate man crush as well! :-)
I'm realllly happy with the winners, especially The Kings Speech and best actor/actress. So deserved! I wasn't able to watch it though.. :( But my weekend was great! I'm happy yours was too.
I would have loved to watch the Oscars, but alas so very, very late here. Everyone is excited for Colin Firth - he does deserve it so. And Natalie Portman, too... What a role! xoxo
only watched the red carpet - some STUNNING gowns! - weekend wentby WAY too fast and my week is FILLED - i'm already looking forward to this weekend!
Same here pretty tired...but so happy I stayed up! Fabulous gowns I can't wait to see everyones recap!
ok well if you must know I had too much wine and port at 3pm in the afternoon at a friends place so I was useless last night. I managed to watch the red carpet and then packed for my trip and I completely missed the show :(
oooh - those macaroons look YUM
can't help but love the oscars. so much glamor in one place!
The Oscars weren't showing here but I loved the Twitter recaps!
I did watch the Oscars...until the very end. All of the predictions came true....great night for the Kings' Speech!
i watched the oscars. they were a bit boring but i will always watch anyway. lol

Oh how I wish today was a mellow Monday for me… instead it’s a frantic frenzy! No Oscars for me BUT they are DVR’d… I gave into the hubs and allowed him to watch the Heels play ball… boo! I hope you enjoyed your relaxing weekend… why do they go so fast?!
The weekend has some not so fun events (like computer crashing...but it is getting better!), but loved the Oscars last night. It was a great way to end the evening - and I was happy with most of the wins, always making it more fun! Hope you are having a fabulous start to your week!
Much love,
B
I know how you feel. I'm a little wiped out from staying up to watch it, but I was so happy The King's Speech won! I've been dying to see it, and my suite mate told me it was amazing. And I almost though it'd lose out to Inception or The Social Network! Lovely pictures as always!
Watching the Oscars was a great way to end the weekend :)
I am so happy , too! I adore Colin Firth and he weel deserved the Oscar!! he is so so so .... perfect!!Kisses and wish you a lovely week start!!!
I was sick in bed yesterday so watched the Oscars from about 2pm- enjoyed it and was happy with most of the wins. Definitely in need of some sweet hot drinks today- gorgeous inspiration!
loved watching the oscars too, esp for the fashions. i need to go out and see the king's speech!
xo,

the oscars were a nice way to end the weekend. i'm hoping this busy week has mellow moments ans some macarons :)
Your photos always take my breath away.
Couldn't stay awake for the Oscars.
The Oscar's were great and I loved the fashion. I also got all teary when Colin Firth won..I loved his speech:) Hope you are having a lovely Monday, sweetie
Kisses
I'm glad Colin finally got his golden statue!
Love the cuff shown here~ I want!!
xo*
Mellow-yellow monday - sweats and tea! Didn't watch the Oscars, but love to hear about it now. Very pretty pix here!
Per usual, I loved watching the Oscars, but I thought the hosting was a little...weird. Anne especially was just not what I expected. In any case, I'm with you -- I could definitely use a bit of tea and some Laduree macarons this morning!
glad I watched the Oscars but I really was bummed that AH annoyed me so much- oh well.
hello!!
i watched the king's speech on friday and it was SO SO GOOD!
I had fun tweeting about Oscars with you and others last night :) The first pic with Diane looks lovely :)
I don't watch the oscars or any awards shows. which makes me feel weird to admit. do love to see recaps of the fashion though.
these photos are lovely, as usual, Dawn!
I was so glad the King's Speech won too! It is one of my favorite things to do, sit on the couch and watch all the pretty dresses! xo
didnt watch it, but loved seeing some of the beautiful dresses!
Of course I watched the Oscars. I loved the red carpet and some of the dresses were absolutely gorgeous but the show and the hosts disappointed. I had such high expectations for Anne and James Franco.
I MUST go see the Kings Speech after watching the Oscars!! Sounds pretty amazing.
Hi my darling! I am so glad you had such a nice weekend! Mine was filled with lots of wedding planning and Oscar watching :)

Love those greens, big fan of emerald green! XX!
Beautiful, relaxing photos. Love the tea one...reminds me of a chinese restaurant I went to with my best friend! The Oscars were great, loved that Natalie Portman won! Anne Hathaway did a great job. Love your blog! Have a great day! :)
Beautiful images! I like the Kings Speech too. Hugs
