this week has been very tiring, but filled with varying degrees of loveliness. the best thing about this week has been my purchase of the christopher kane for topshop studde/eyelet sweatshirt, i seriously can't stop talking/thinking about it, and can't wait or it to arrive. I'm so excited! ahhh!!! Also lovely has been the last moments of freedom house sitting for my uncle, making my last 'single gal living on her own' bowl of pasta (for the moment anyway) and packing up all my stuff. I've also been hatching a few plans for the future and sitting on them, all will be revealed in the future, as it were (hehe). Anyway, onto the celebrities. Apparently it's been london fashion week or something, not that i've been paying attention or following slavishly or anything.....
Leighton Meester

The Emmy Awards are always belittled in America, for the australian readers i suppose they're like the logies, a little superfluous. But you can always count on the young stars of television to pull out all the stops and make an impact. Blake Lively's in your face 'sexiness' is not really my thing, but this Bottega Veneta gown is that kind of old school glamour that really works on the creamy alabaster skin and classic features of leighton meester. White is such a tricky colour for pale people, and she pulls it off with marvelous aplomb, and i love the shoulder detail. I love how she doesn't dress like Blair off-set either. Blake and Serena are practically interchangeable with their sexy frocks and hip accesories. Leighton, however, is all fashion, all the time, unlike Blair, the preppy queen bee.

Laying aside the fact that wearing shorty denim cut offs with a coat is a little incongruous and begs a few questions about the weather. But, that not withstanding, i love how alexa mixtures textures and silhouettes in this outfit. Sheer shirt, thick woolly coat, fraying denim shorts and that shiny patent leather on the bag (incidentally the mulberry 'alexa' bag) and boots, love that she matched the two. It's a little hipster, but it also has those quirky british country/prep that we know and love with alexa's style. Like how that coat is printed with a charming floral applique pattern, and the little socks that she has folded over the tops of her boots.
Yasmin Sewell

Oh Yasmin. How do i love thee? let me count the ways. Is it your beautiful scrunchy trench coat, rolled up way past your elbows, way past your upper arm, right up to tee shirt level. Is it your graphic printed shirt that provides a welcome amount of fashion detail? Is it your perfectly tailored trousers with the pleated front that is so flattering. Yes, they're all nice, and they're all why Yasmin is the favourite of street style photographers and fashion week watchers, and why Liberty of London is doing so well at the moment - it's been bathed in her midas touch, she's got impeccable taste and she knows what people want to buy. Better than all this, though, is her beautiful hair. Those corkscrew curls are vivacious and effervescent, just like her. And she's Australian too, and we all like a little patriotism!
Caroline Sieber
fashionista.com
It's been a long time since I wrote about Caroline Sieber, but since she's styled Emma Watson she's kind of dropped off the radar. One way to get back on that radar (and then some) is with gloriously mis-matching fashion trends. The spotty shirt, (im)perfectly turned up and undone, the tiered mini peplum skirt, flirty and fun, the snakeskin and grosgrain bag gripped oh so casually like all bags should be gripped nowadays, and the lace up nude sandals that elongate legs and slim ankles (not that she needs it). It's one of those outfits embodying that laid-back casual elegance that you never see anymore with fashion editors.
Emma Watson
celebutopia
Wow. You think you know a girl... There's only been two times that i've been truly blown away by what Emma Watson has worn, the first was in a skin tight, nude, drapey dress with a studded belt at the Vanity Fair Portraits party last year. The second is now. Both times those dresses have been Burberry. She's a very pretty girl, and she always dresses a bit old for her body, but with dresses like these she can remind the world that she's just a 19 year old girl who loves a party dress like anyone else. It's sparkly, it's tight, it's very short (a little too short, but eh, what can you do?), and it's paired with super high, danger danger heels. She looks resplendent, and not just because the dress is so golden it's almost it's own light source. And she's only just started uni! how does she do it?
TGIF!
