While I love my old Oscars tradition of sitting on the couch in my favorite comfy clothes, sipping champagne, and ordering pizza, it was time to take it up a notch. I was thrilled and honored to attend the Neutrogena Oscars party at the W Hotel in Hollywood this past Sunday.

I decided to take one fabulous date…one of my best friends, Matt “Mattie” Marr.

Here we go, here we go!!

The car came to whisk us away to an afternoon spent toasting the Oscars and the new Neutrogena Hydro Boost Collection.

With my date & dear friend, Matt Marr

Everything was blue – from the blue hydrangeas to the blueberry-lime push-up cake pops!

Rhapsody in blue: the new Neutrogena Hydro Boost

We had a little red carpet fun, our fill of some delicious Bonefish Grill eats, and plenty of bubbly.

And I even got to spend some time with my fellow southern host, Leeza Gibbons!

My favorite part of the evening, though? Patricia Arquette’s acceptance speech for her Best Supporting Actress win for Boyhood. I was so excited, I could barely contain myself!

Other people's big successes get me excited in a big way! I get real excited when people I love win. REAL excited. *photo by Matt Marr

I felt like Cinderella – a more boho Cinderella – with the gorgeous Marcia Moran jewels!

Head to toe, I felt red carpet ready, thanks to all of the amazing folks who made this beautiful day possible – most especially, Neutrogena.
