An Oscar Party isn’t complete without a little glitz and glam. Add bits of sparkle throughout the decor.

I adore the idea of a “PJs & Pearls” themed Oscar party, featured on LaurenConrad.com. Dress up your fave movie snacks in a chic setup, like a stylish popcorn bar.

No need to break the bank for a lavish dessert table. Get creative. My favorite thing about baking is the endless creativity.

Everyone deserves to feel like a star for a night. Whether it’s Jessica Chastain or a Best Dressed nom, it’s your night to shine.

Get your DIY on by creating a simple (but impressive) backdrop for all of your “Red Carpet” snapshots.

Have fun voting for your top predictions. Whoever is dead-on wins a fabulous prize.

Who doesn’t love an excuse to get go glam? Go black-tie or wear your PJs while sporting old Hollywood waves and statement jewelry.

I can’t believe it has already been one year since I’ve started my blog. Thank you for continuing to keep up with my current obsessions!

In honor of The Subtle Statement’s first birthday, I made Chocolate Chip Cookie Cupcakes with Chocolate Avocado Frosting from Purely Twins. The recipes are both vegan and gluten-free, and savory sweet combination has a yummy taste!

A cute Valentine’s Day treat can be created with little time and supplies. I cut out heart shapes out of 4″ doilies. I punched two holes and thread ribbon, and tied together. I created a simple label on my computer, then punched it out with a 1″ round punch. I punched out coordinating cardstock with a 1 3/4″ round punch. I again punched two holes through the cardstock label, and thread the ribbon through to til together. Very inexpensive, and can be made in a short amount of time.
