Burberry-model, Harry Potter actress, freshman-year college student and now designer. It sure has been quite a year for Miss Emma Watson!

Everything in the collection is made from organic cotton, and it is all made my hand by Fair Trade groups in countries like Bangladesh and Nepal. And, it's relatively affordable! Which is always good, especially if you're on a 15-year-old budget like me :)

Caroline Sieber at the Chanel Haute Couture show (!!!). I didn't know who she was, so naturally I Googled her, and found out that she is one of the five muses that Karl Lagerfeld has selected for Chanel. Good choice, Karl. She looks chic and elegant, exactly what I think when I think Chanel. And she looks amazing in this dress!

Sadly, I have homework tonight. Imagine that! Always putting a damper on my wild partylife (kidding!) I've got to do some biology and read some Salinger, so it's time to hit those books. Have a nice evening everyone, apologies for the extra-short post.

xox, Sophie

{stella mccartney, you are amazing}

[All from style.com]

Don't you love Stella McCartney's pre-fall collection? It is quite admirable that she was able to create a fashionable paisley jumpsuit, without making it look like old, psychedelic hippie pajamas. See the entire collection here.

Gahhh I really want to do some outfit posts soon. However, that would require A) a camera and B) a cord to connect the camera to the computer. Have accomplished A, must get started on B.

Goodness am I tired! Today, I went to the mall to get a bit of shopping done and also obsess over a shirt I want in Madewell (it's a relatively new store, owned by J. Crew). I ended up purchasing a faux-leather jacket in Forever 21, which was only $40. When I wear it, it makes me feel like Amelia Earhart, which is a win in my book : )

I'm contemplating posting some outfit pictures. However, seeing as I lost my digital camera in a rental car in California (sad story...), I don't really have anything to take pictures with. Oh well. I suppose this will suffice for now:

Yup, that's me. Just kidding. I do love Natalie Portman's outfit. The pink + gray color combo is tres chic!

{mmm.erdem-y}

If you enjoy taking down notes in style or simply would like to coordinate your agenda planner to your outfit, then the Erdem for Smythson notebook is perfect for you. I realize they've been out for a while but I just wanted to bring anyone's attention to it.

It looks nice with an Erdem dress ... and an Erdem blouse ... and an Erdem skirt... ok, you get the idea.

{hermes}

Sorry, but I am too lazy to find the accent grave on my keyboard. So, for the purposes of this article, it will be spelled Hermes. As in the Greek god.
Jean Paul Gaultier has a penchant for themed shows, the more over-the top, the better. He introduced us to aviator-chic last season, with leather bomber jackets and pilot-style caps, and has previously indulged us in sumptuous fabrics reminiscent of a Bollywood film. However, this season he took a different approach, seeking his influence from athletics. Sports are a natural inspiration for a Hermes line, after all, the brand is known for its equestrian roots (a motif that is ever-present in its runway shows). For the spring 2010 collection, tennis was the main influence. It was sporty-chic (oh, how I despise using that term to describe such a wonderful collection) delivered with impeccable elegance and precision. Cardigan and miniskirt ensembles were accessorized with the trademark Birkin, in a fresh shade of new tennis-shoes white. Preppy-girl wardrobe staples, like collared shirts and blazers, along with luxe floor-length dresses were done in clean shades of blue, white, and black. I've included some other photographs from the collection below. To view more, click here.
