A Look at Clémence Poésy

Big news of recent weeks - Clémence Poésy has joined the Gossip Girl cast.  Very exciting.. Being only really famous for her role as Fleur de la Coeur of Harry Potter, and the short part played in In Bruges, I had never particularly investigated into this young French girl's fashion, but having done so, I'm glad I did!...:

So typically french, the Parisian Chic style that has been mulling around through 2009-2010, with smart shirts, fitted skirts, elegant shoes, and graceful dresses.  We should all take tips from this young fashion-queen-to-be.. I thought a little recreation was necessary..plus it's fun for me!

1. Green and Cream Tweed Dress, Next £38, 2. Cream Jacket, Miss Selfridge £49, 3. Grey 80 Dernier Tights, Miss Selfridge £6, 4. Georgette Ankle Strap Wedges, Topshop £60.

Tweed has been appearing a lot on and off the catwalk lately, and I have to admit I am a fan.. It can be considered very preppy, middle-classed and middle-aged, but paired with the right things (such as a white jacket on Miss Poésy) it can be classy and different.  Grey as opposed to black tights soften the look and the shoes are subtle yet are perfect when noticed.  When running away from the paparazzi into the sunlight, big sunglasses are a must to fully complete this look of French beauty.  Worth stealing? Definite yes from me.

Jumpsuits Are All The Rage

As you may or may not have been aware, over the last 12 months, jumpsuits have been growing in popularity:

The celebs are being seen in them more and more frequently, whether they be classic black ones, or crazy zebra print ones a la Katy Perry.  Now, I possess a couple of playsuits, and absolutely adore them as a style of clothing, however it was only the other day that I bought my very first jumpsuit...

New Look, £25 'TYE DYE JUMPSUIT'

It's nice, isn't it? I thought so.. I went in to buy a plain black one, simple but elegant and different, but I left with this.  In my eyes, tye dye is a risky business, but this one has an edge to it and makes a statement, and whether to dress it up to go out, or even just casually (as it is seriously comfy!) I don't really do pretty, I do quirky, unique (or at least I try) so I thought this was quite perfect, teamed with some killer heels and, as shown, my safety piece of a black jacket! 

Go out and buy one, they're definitely a style worth stealing..

A Look at Emma Watson

I have been doing a lot of website browing of recent, and do you know what I have discovered? Quite how important Emma Watson is at the moment! Marie Claire.. Elle.. Vogue.. They're all worshipping the ground she stands on, and quite fairly so.  She is young, gorgeous, and dresses quite fantastically, whether going to some posh fashion event or just wandering out to buy a coffee from the shop next door. So, to fully support this trend, I have made a mini collage of my five favourite outfits of this young star...

Good huh? I love them all, the variety of 1-5..

1. It's a very basic outfit, consisting of a pair of plain black court shoes, and a stunning lace playsuit. Normally I am not a 3/4-length sleeve fan, but these are elegant being longer, without seeming to cover everything.  A flattering shape and flirty, showing off a lotta leg!
2. This sparkly dress is simply incredible... A serious statement piece in a lovely, rich golden yellow, paired with a thin black belt and big black heels.. 5*s from me!
3.  Now this look is very me. An aspect we rarely see from  Miss Watson dressed all in black with a leather jacket.  However, instead of going for grunge, it's actually very elegant, with a silver clutch and smart top underneath, haired neatly pinned with smokey eyes.  Definitely worth taking on board.
4.  Dressed for part at Glastonbury this year, in ripped denim shorts, a leopard-print belt and grey plimsolls, however given that little touch of class and of summer with a smart white shirt with a big, frilly collar..
5.  Ordinarily, this would be quite an simple dress, elegant, but nothing worth shouting about. No, with Emma Watson, it's the extras that make it truly spectacular.. Black shoes, as opposed to something more subtle, make a true statement making the outfit that bit more edgy, and paired with some vamp makeup, dark lips and eyes, she really hit the nail square on the head to make a perfect look...

Emma Watson varies her appearance all the time, from classic to contemporary, but somehow, she always manages to pull it off. Jealous? Me too.. But there we go, all we can do is learn from her style, and steal the best bits!

Style Worth Stealing

Hi to everyone out there! My name is Harolyn and I live in Norfolk, but, as of the end of the month, shall be at university at Southampton studying French and Spanish.  However, outside of being at school, I am in love with fashion magazines, style websites, and stealing the looks of celebrities.  I created this blog as a way of discussing and expressing my ideas... It's what I do in my spare time anyway, but I thought I'd put it up online to share it all!  A collection of catwalk trends, celebrity styles, all with a pinch of my own on the side, the things I buy and wear.

I don't suppose anyone's reading this...but if you are, I hope it's interesting! 

First proper post tomorrow....or even tonight if I can't sleep!
