Instead of a red carpet gowns, we flaunted “sofa chic.” Instead of Moët flowing about the room, we grabbed Trader Joe’s Proseco. Instead of calling in the most fabulous NYC caterer, we voted for potluck. And you know what? Our Second Annual Oscar Party couldn’t have been more perfect…and cozy! My forever friend, Ryan, and
