Somewhere only we know

HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS PART II

PREMIERE

United Kingdom vs. North America

I love each look, and I'm loving the whole light and dark theme Emma Watson has been working lately. Although, I'm partial to the UK premiere a little more because I feel like soft suits her features way better, but I also love how risque and sexy she looks at the NYC premiere. Either way, Emma Watson is a stunner who can pretty much pull off anything. I can't wait to see what other looks she'll rock for the promotional tour. 

This picture pretty much sums up my feelings on the fact that 12 years of my life is finally coming to an end on July 15th. There are absolutely no words to describe the amount of tears that will be shed that day. The anticipation and the dread is killing me. xoxo

It all ends here...

When I was 12 years old, I picked up a book at the library called Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.  At first I thought I would be too old to read the series and was hesitant on borrowing it. Little did I know how much my life would change after that day. A bit dramatic right? But in all honesty, this series has been with me for literally HALF my life. I followed these characters and watched them grow up right before my eyes.  I've made traditions with my sister and my family while reading them and watching the films.  So needless to say, seeing it come to a close (almost) is a bit bittersweet. Sad to see it end, but happy for its success and what it gave us-something to cherish forever, and something I can't wait to read to my kids someday.

Yesterday, Geo and I made a day of it. We went over to Glendale, had some yummy Portos for lunch, and came straight over to the Americana for the 3 o'clock showing. Luckily there was no line when we got there, because soon after we arrived-it became a mad house. I cried, I laughed, I mostly cried. It was an exceptional movie which really did the book justice. I can't wait for Part II.

I have to say, at first I wasn't sure about Emma Watson's new do. But the more I see it, the more I feel it suits her personality and style. She looks like a modern day Twiggy. Here are some of my favorite looks from the promo tour:

My favorite is the last outfit. She looked stunning and ready for her new journey. Out of all the HP actors, her career is the one I find the most promise in. She's grown up to be such a truthful actor, and exceptionally beautiful. She shouldn't have any trouble at all after this. 

My outfit yesterday. It was very cold. And I didn't wear enough clothing...Sorry for the poor quality. I'm so excited to see my sister in a few days! And Thanksgiving!! One of my favorite holidays-because I get to eat anything I want, without an ounce of guilt. Love it. :)

Talk all the talk with a Poet's style...

Well, Emma Watson chopped all of her hair. I'm still getting used to this bold look for her, because I thought she looked so beautiful with long hair. But, I think her decision for doing it was very wise. Now that the Harry Potter films are finito (well almost-they're done shooting, anyway), I'm sure she wanted to re-invent herself and look more mature and grown up and chic. And I think she established that with this haircut. Can't wait to see her at the premieres, and I'm excited to see how she styles it in general.

It brings back memories of when I chopped off all of my hair. I was the same age as Emma (20), and it was during one of the best moments of my life. I was falling in love with a boy (a boy named George-who eventually became my everything <3) and I felt so daring and liberated. I was a risk-taker who didn't have a care in the world of what others thought of me. Sometimes, I miss those days. Don't get me wrong-I think I grew into who I am today pretty nicely, but once in awhile I like to look back at my pictures and feel proud that I had the guts to do it.

Say you don't want it...

(pics from TFS)

Seeing Sienna Miller and Emma Watson pics from Glastonbury this year, has me itching. For years I've been desperate to go to a music festival. I really want to do Outside Lands next month, but it most likely will not happen due to lack of funds-so, next year it is (again...). Well, because I'm a Virgo-which means I plan things to the infinitesimal degree-I like to imagine or picture what I'd wear to these sorts of things.  It's always fun playing with Polyvore and seeing what outfits I can conjure up. 

You guys like? I'm pretty happy with them. I actually wish I could dress like this everyday this summer. Instead, I'm in funereal clothing ALL the time. Moving on...speaking of Emma Watson. Her boyfriend George Craig, who's the lead singer of the band One Night Only featured Emma in their latest music video. And I'm obsessed with the song. So catchy. I can't wait for it to come out so I can buy it. I'm such a sucker for British musicians.

American Woman

The Oscars of Fashion-The Met Ball-happened Monday night, and I meant to blog about it yesterday, but was too distracted with other things. So, before I forget...these were my absolute favorite looks from the evening.

Alexa Chung in Philip Lim

I liked it because she wore a tux basically. It was whimsical without going over the top. I absolutely adore the shoes!

Leighton Meester in Marc Jacobs

She had to rush from a film set and was very late so she didn't get to do the red carpet-or put on any makeup! She looks tired, but still very cute. I love the dress and the headband. I'm such a sucker for boho dresses! I love the surprise of sequins on the bottom.

Blake Lively in Marchesa

Everyone seems to diss Lively's decision to always want to flaunt her body when it comes to picking out red carpet dresses. But boy, if my body looked like hers-I sure as hell would be wearing that dress too! Haha!

Emma Watson in Burberry

She looked so ethereal and fresh! I could've done without the slit up the middle though. I can't to see what she wears for the HP7 premiere later this year!

Marion Cotillard in Dior

She looks like she just walked right out of the silver screen. Such a glamorous look. Can I please have this as my future wedding dress?!

Kate Bosworth in Valentino

My favorite of the evening...again. I think she was my favorite last year as well tied with Ashley Olsen's white frock. What a dream dress!

Fave Couples

Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake both in Ralph Lauren

Apart from Justin's goofy grin, this couple always look so elegant on the red carpet. I love the old-hollywood style Biel's dress exudes.

Diane Kruger and Joshua Jackson both in Calvin Klein

How can I not include one of my favorite, and most adorable couple in Hollywood?! I love the sleekness and coolness in both of them. They just looked so made for each other.  I sighed when I saw them.

Sienna Miller in Emilio Pucci and Jude Law in Unknown

My first freak out of the night...was when I saw these two back on the red carpet-together. It felt like 2004 all over again, at the height of their first romance. At first, when rumors started speculating that these two were back together, I was a little miffed because well Jude cheated on Sienna with a nanny. But as I saw more and more of them, I began to understand just how perfect they are for one another. And they definitely proved it at the Met Ball. 

Until next year...oh how I dream to one day be invited to this...

I'm still taken by surprise

Cannot wait for springtime. I love my go-to black but I can't wait to see what the shops have in store for the bright season.



The Burberry SS10 campaign with the stunning Emma Watson! Seriously such a classic beauty, with a classic sense of style. You can never really go wrong with a designer like Burberry. I long to own one of their long khaki trench coats. My hubby already owns one-lucky! *Sigh*

Still pooped from my sister's birthday party last night. She looked like the ultimate rockstar, and I cannot wait to see the pictures!

(Vintage Ozzie Clark-UK Premiere)

I saw HP6 for the 2nd time yesterday afternoon with my beau. Needless to say, I fell in love with it all over again. But you know who else I've been falling more and more in love with, is Emma Watson. She's only 19, but she's already made herself a household name when it comes to fashion. Not only is she the new face of Burberry, but she's also been making the style blogging world eager to see what she'll wear next in promoting the movie. So far so good, if you ask me. Pictured are my top 5 fave looks from her, Ozzie Clark being number one. She's utterly amazing, and I can't wait to see more from her, both in her acting and fashion endeavors.

All of the Boys, and all of the Girls are beggin' to...

INSPIRATION FRIDAY

Jessica Szohr in Lucky Mag. I love everything about this outfit. I especially want the floral corset top and the red sandals. Gorgeous. Very Spring.

Emma Watson. This makes me feel quite old. I remember when she was only 10 years old. And now she's traipsing around wearing corsets, and underwear in sexy photoshoots. I'm not going to lie-it's a little off-putting but she looks great, doesn't she? I especially like smearing of the makeup. Makes me inspired to do a similar photo shoot.

Kate Bosworth. I've never really been a fan of hers-acting or otherwise. But during the promotional tour for Superman Returns, she wore this gorgeous dress to the UK premiere (I forget who it's by) and my jaw dropped to the floor. It seriously makes me want to tear a big scoop in the back of ALL my dresses.

T.G.I.F.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
