The Award Season is in full swing, so it's time to roll out the red carpet.
Celebrate the upcoming SAG, Grammy's, Oscars shows by hosting your own viewing party. Who doesn't love to watch your favorite celebrities strut the latest couture on the red carpet. Honestly for me sometimes the Red Carpet is better then the main event =) No viewing party is complete without delicious cocktails or mocktails, so sip in style during the show.
