Figuratively speaking, to "turn the page" on something is to leave an event or series of events behind and continue on with life.
If one phase of a series of events can be likened to a page, to turn the page is to make that series of events into history. This seeks to express that there has been some kind of fundamental shift, an irreversible change that marks a new phase in life.
Example: On August 31, 2010, U.S. President Barack Obama declared an end to U.S. combat operations in Iraq in accordance with its Status of Forces Agreement with Iraq. In doing so, Obama's staff told the news media that he would absolutely not use the words Mission Accomplished in regards to Iraq. (A careful reader of my post on "Mission Accomplished" will note that technically, President Bush did not speak the words either. They were simply on a highly visible banner.)
Instead, President Obama said, "It is time to turn the page." This wording was intended to convey that a new phase had begun in Iraq, a phase intended to be different from the old one, and better than the old one. However, even though the words are different, the meaning of "time to turn the page" and "Mission Accomplished" is extremely close, to the point of being virtually identical. It is obviously the hope of the Obama administration that listeners will view Obama's statement as having the "proper" meaning without being "tainted" by a phrase using different words, with an identical meaning, used years earlier in a way that was thought, in hindsight, to be unwise and improper.
In other words, this time, we really mean it.

Mission Accomplished
Originating from the military, "mission accomplished" simply means that a mission's goals have been successfully fulfilled.
The trick is defining the mission properly. Technically, a mission is a single complex task within larger operations, battles, and wars. Idiomatically, politicians often use the word mission to refer to any major sustained effort. These two meanings can come into conflict.
Example: In a famous speech, former U.S. President George W. Bush declared major combat operations in Iraq to be over, speaking from an aircraft carrier with a huge "Mission Accomplished" banner visible to the news media. "Minor" combat operations would claim the lives of many Americans and a great many Iraqis in years to come. Here, the literal mission may have been accomplished, but the figurative mission was far from finished, and far from success.

I Can't Thank You Enough
When someone says, "I can't thank you enough," this is saying that words alone are insufficient to represent the deep gratitude the other person has for you.
Example: Doctor: "There, this antibiotics prescription should eliminate the infection completely. Make sure you take all of the pills." Patient: "I can't thank you enough, Doctor."
Example: Doctor: "There, this antibiotics prescription should eliminate the infection completely. Make sure you take all of the pills." Patient: "I can't thank you enough, Doctor."
Words Fail Me
When words fail you, you are unable to find the proper words to fit a situation, often because the situation is so abnormal.
Example: Laura: "Can you believe it? Denise is back together with that no-good boyfriend of hers, even though he might go to prison for that robbery he did two months ago." Angela: "..Words fail me." Laura: "It's unbelievable."
Example: Laura: "Can you believe it? Denise is back together with that no-good boyfriend of hers, even though he might go to prison for that robbery he did two months ago." Angela: "..Words fail me." Laura: "It's unbelievable."
At A Loss For Words
When a person is at a loss for words, that person is speechless.
Speechless does not mean unable to speak (i.e. a person who is mute); it means someone who is too overwhelmed to speak, or at the very least, unable to say anything profound enough to suit (fit) the occasion.
Example 1: Margaret: "I saw a car accident where five people died. It was horrible...!" Peter: "I'm at a loss for words. That's terrible, I'm so sorry to hear that."
Example 2: Patricia: "My friend in Boston won a million dollars in the lottery!" Donald: "I'm at a loss for words... that's incredible!"

my emmy picks
My favorite look was probably Angela Kinsey in Romona Keveza Fall 2010. This may be a very biased decision because Romona Keveza is one of my favorite designers.

Emmys 2010 - Best Worst and Other Dressed
Sorry for the delay folks, but there were SO many dresses and I had SO much to say, and I was just SO tired. No more big city travels for EWP. I'm just so worn out.
There were definitely three themes for the night: white, aubergine, and texture. I enjoyed all of them to varying degrees. Let the Emmy dress judging begin!
Rita Wilson
Well, um, wow. What a way to start off the red carpet review. I would say she's too old to wear this, but then again, no one should wear this. I'm just baffled by the shoes. F
Naya Rivera of Glee.
That is the WORST Emmy hair I've ever seen. Naya is a beautiful girl, but you would never know based on this look. It makes me so sad. Who thought this was a good idea? It looks like a horrible prom dress gone slutty. Nothing about this is red carpet appropriate. F
Lo Bosworth
I feel like something got caught in her updo and pulled it out of place. SURELY it was not supposed to look like that, right? Right??? The dress is totally boring and old lady for someone so young at the Emmys. Next time go a little less sheath dress and a little more evening dress. Thanks. F
Rose Byrne in Gucci dress and shoes.
The hair is a TOTAL mess. Total utter mess. I have curly hair and would never ever let myself go anywhere with it looking like such a bird nest, especially not an awards show. I like white on the red carpet, especially on such a hot day as they had, but this one really didn't do it for me. I thought Kim Kardashian (see below) actually did it much better. I know, who thought I'd ever say something like that??? C-
Amber Riley in a Melissa Masse gown and Chopard jewels.
I think she dressed her curvy figure very well with a super cinched waist with embellishment - drawing focus to her narrowest part. It's like she's been reading my blog! Plus extra points for looking as young and fresh as she is. Not too crazy of hair and not too much makeup or jewelry. B+
Toni Collette in a patterned strapless Valentino gown, Bochic jewelry and a Judith Leiber clutch.
Eek, floral prints like this do not belong on the red carpet. It looks like the bottom of her dress got dragged through some mud. What was Toni thinking? C-
Okay, I didn't comment on all of them. I'm just a tired ol preggo EWP. It's way past my bedtime.

Tina Fey feeling fancy in a beaded Oscar de la Renta gown and Lorraine Schwartz earrings.
Ms. Fey has had some serious misses on the red carpet over the years, but I have to give it to her this time, I like this. I wouldn't like it on everyone, but I do enjoy it on her. B+
Sofia Vergara in a saffron embroidered strapless Carolina Herrera gown and Lorraine Schwartz canary gold jewelry.
Sofia Vergara is a stunning and beautiful woman. Unfortunately this dress doesn't really show that off. It's just so strange with it's zigzagging middle and yellow hue. Not a fan. C-
Rutina Wesley in a black and white dress and black Christian Louboutin satin slingbacks.
Hate this dress. Hate the print. Hate the slit. Hate the skirt. Blech. D
Padma Lakshmi in Carolina Herrera and necklace from her own jewelry line.
Padma Lakshmi is a gorgeous human being. I love navy on her. I'm undecided about that crazy necklace, but I'll let it slide because she's hot. B
Olivia Munn in a Zac Posen gown and Bulgari jewels.
BOOOOOOOOOOOORING. Hate the color. and the bodice is too low on her. I fear that her boobs will pop out at any given moment. C-
Nina Dobrev in a hammered silk gown by Zuhair Murad.
What a gorgeous way to make your Emmys debut. Then followed by a dance number on stage. I think I might be in love with this Nina Dobrev character. A
Lea Michele in an Oscar de la Renta gown, Brian Atwood heels, Lorraine Schwartz diamond necklace, and Swarovski clutch.
With the midnight blue color and the oomph of rufflage, this dress screamed EWP. I was destined to be in love with it, but all I could think about was how similar it looked to the blue dress she wore to the Golden Globes last year. Docking points for lack of creativity. A-
Kyra Sedgwick in a Monique Lhuillier gown and Ofira jewels.
I'm enjoying the color, and actually okay with the texture to a degree, but somewhere between the concept of the dress and actually putting it on Kyra, something goes wrong I feel. I just don't think she looks nice. Maybe it's the hair. Maybe it's that lipstick color. I dunno, I'm just not for it. C+
Kristen Whig
What on earth is this contraption? No animal prints or feathers on the red carpet please. Thanks. F
Kim Kardashian in a white Grecian-inspired Marchesa gown and Lorraine Schwartz jewels.
I usually think Kim Kardashian looks like a trashy hooker, but she looked positively beautiful and ethereal in this soft and romantic gown. This is what Rose Byrne wishes she looked like at the Emmys. A+

I love color on the red carpet, but I just found this dress very simple and boring. And it definitely emphasized her flatness. C-
Kelly Osbourne in a Tony Ward Couture dress.
Her body is rocking, I'll give that to her. But that dress isn't. Sorry, K-Os. C
Katrina Bowden in a ruffled lavender BCBG Max Azria column gown paired with a blush Swarovski clutch and Everlon diamond knot earrings.
Do I have to write something about this? I'm tired. D
Julie Bown in a J. Mendel gown, Neil Lane jewelry, Sergio Rossi shoes and a Jimmy Choo clutch.
Navy and ruffled. This dress is speaking my language. Too bad I don't like that paneling in the front. B-
Julie Benz in an ivory silk one-shoulder gown with beaded cut-out hip detail from Pamella Roland’s Resort 2011 collection.
I'm bored. But very happy smile. C
Julia Ormond in a bright fuchsia Escada gown, which she accessorized with Lorraine Schwartz jewelry and a Jimmy Choo clutch.
Like the color. Like the ruffle on the chest. Nice look on the Emmy-winning actress. B
Julianna Margulies in a navy L'Wren Scott gown (and her own shoes!)
This dress looked just too heavy and unseasonal for this scorching August day. And I didn't like it. D
Jessalyn Gilsig in a red Nicole Miller gown.
The hair and makeup are wonderful on Jessalyn. And the red looks great on her. It just doesn't have as much oomph as I would like. B
Jennifer Carpenter in a single-sleeve sequin gown and Brian Atwood gunmetal heels.
I really love this on her. Really catches your eye and makes her look great. A-
Jenna Ushkowitz in a scarlet Kevan Hall halter gown, gold and diamond Neil Lane jewelry, and a Judith Leiber clutch.
Love red and gold on a woman of color. Especially Jenna with her creamy skin and dark black locks. Hate the shoes though. In what world do silver shoes go with gold earrings? B-
Jenna Fischer in a chiffon gown by Rare Vintage with a paillette-trimmed bodice. She toted a Raven Kauffman Couture clutch and wore Diamond in the Rough jewelry.
The color of that dress has me swooning. Seriously swooning. And coupled with her sexy waves, I'm in serious like right now. A-
Jayma Mays in a navy Burberry Prossurm gown, Neil Lane necklace, Ferragamo clutch, and Jimmy Choo heels.
Oh Jayma. What a drab and strange look you put together for the Emmys. You'd have been better off stealing something from Emma's closet. I do love her pencil skirts and cardigan brooches. D
January Jones in Atelier Versace gown and Cartier diamonds
This dress made it on many best dressed lists. Too many. I hated this dress. Hate. Hate. It looks like she has coffee filters on her boobs. Seriously. And I just am not behind the length change she has going on. And I hate the hair. A lot. Sorry, folks, but this is one of my most hated of the night. F
Jane Lynch in a single-shoulder custom taffeta gown from L.A.-based designer Ali Rahimi and a Swarovski bag.
I love aubergine. I think it's a fantastic color for evening wear. This reminds me of the bridesmaid dresses from my wedding. So clearly I love it. Jane Lynch usually has some problems with a nice feminine look but she really pulled out all the stop for her Emmy-winning night. A
Jane Krakowski wore a custom one-shoulder Escada gown with Lorraine Schwartz diamond earrings
Sorry people who want me to write an opinion here. I'm falling asleep right now, not because of the dress but because it's 10 PM. B
Heidi Klum in a Marchesa minidress and Christian Louboutin spiked heels.
TOO SHORT. AAAAH TOO SHORT. And, this is blasphemy, but I have to say I don't like those shoes. At all. I really hate studs on shoes. D
Heather Morris in a sequined column gown from Ina Soltani, diamond bracelet and studs by Kwiat and a satin Swarovski clutch.
I really like this look for a blonde - gold shimmer, bold lip. It's just her pose that's got me all turned off. Stop posing like that, Heather! B
Eva Longoria Parker in a Robert Rodriguez gowns and Loren Jewels earrings
Mrs. Parker always stuns on the red carpet. I like that about her. This dress is no exception. Love the train. Love the texture through the skirt. Love the addition of red chandelier earrings for a pop of color. A-
Emily Deschanel in a Max Azria Atelier dress, Platt Boutique Jewelry hoops and a Neil Lane bangle.
It's like Emily Deschanel took a list of things I love in a dress - purple! ruffles! one-shoulder! pleats! - and then thought the best way to win me over was to put ALL of them in one dress. Sorry, Em, but you were wrong. It's just too much look for me. C
Emily Blunt in a lavendar Christian Dior gown, Lorraine Schwartz jewels, and Lauren Merkin clutch.
I love that she added a flower to her hair. I'm all about flowers in my hair these days. I also love the soft pastel on a night of darker gowns. I just can't seem to get behind the weird circley things hanging from it. Is that just me? B-
Elisabeth Moss in Donna Karan.
Elisabeth Moss looks positively scrumptious in this dove gray goddess gown. Soft and feminine. All the things I love. A
Edie Falco wore satin Christian Louboutin pumps with a one-shoulder black draped chiffon gown, clutch, black pave diamond earrings and a white gold link bracelet, all by Bottega Veneta.
Snoooooooore. I'm sorry, what? I was writing a post. Sorry, this dress lulled me to sleep. D
Love the hair. Love the minimalist makeup that leaves her looking so fresh. Really just don't know what to do with the dress. It makes me think "saloon girl." Doesn't it? Maybe she came to the Emmys directly from filming a Western. C
Claire Danes wore a stunning Giorgio Armani Privé muted bronze evening gown fully encrusted with Swarovski drop crystals and iridescent sequin beading.
This dress was my absolute FAVORITE of the night. Just so elegant and gorgeous. Everything glamorous in just one gown. Love. A+
I love Joan. I love her curves. I love her red hair. I just love all things Joan. But it's always seemed poor Christina didn't know how to dress her curves when not dressing from the 60s. But I think this look is just soft and lovely on her. A-
Anna Paquin with husband and co-star Stephen Moyer, both in Alexander McQueen.
A little bold and crazy, but I think I like it. I'll forever miss Alexander McQueen. B+
Amy Poehler in a Max Azria Atelier dress
Amy gave birth to baby #2 just last month! I'd say she looks fantastic. Good for her for rocking her mommy curves. A
Lauren Graham in a black and white Yigal Azrouël gown.
