Let's Talk... Cute & Random ASOS Finds

I was randomly browsing through ASOS, as I often do (and by often I mean everyday) and I came across a section that I hadn't really seen before.. The Gifts section. I had seen random bits and bobs pop up during the sales or under the accessories section but I didn't know that there was an entire part of the website dedicated to these wonderful things! So just in case anyone was in the same position as me, I thought I would introduce you to the magical world of the random and adorable things that you can find on ASOS (other than clothing/accessories/shoes/beauty and all that jazz. obviously..). Lets start with the cards... There are so many funny and wonderfully illustrated cards (for basically all occasions) on ASOS. Here are a few of them..


Buy me here

Those are just a handful of the ones they sell on ASOS - so if you are on the look out for a cute and quirky card, you know where to go! Next up is a small collection of the other random goodies you can find dotted around ASOS.. such as shower caps and awesome notebooks. Enjoy!



So if you happen to be one of those people (much like myself) who adore buying random yet adorable junk, this is the post for you! I hope you guys enjoyed this post and that you are having the most wonderful Easter sundays with all your loved ones (and a fuck load of chocolate).

Much Love,

Gurl, I Like Your Style: The Ladies of Suits

I recently got into the TV series Suits and I love it. If you haven't seen an episode then I demand you stop reading this post and watch one. Now. Right now. And then we can talk about how great it is, capiche? Moving on - yes, the men in the show are attractive, rock suits (duh - the title) like no other and have some witty dialogue.. But there are three, kick ass, show stopping women in this series that cannot be ignored! They don't take shit from anyone and they are truly powerful and intelligent female characters, which I adore! To add a cherry on top, they all dress immaculately (obviously), so I wanted to do a post dedicated to the ladies from Suits. Werk it, gurls!


I don't know where to begin with this amazing wardrobe, so I collected some pictures to give you guys an overall idea of how amazing these ladies dress and what their general style is...





It is the balance between feminine and sexy yet professional that these three women capture (and werrrk) beautifully. What's more, the colour palette of the ladies' wardrobe add such a fun element to it. Who says you cant rock an amazingly tailored red dress to work!? These women (well the television series' stylist.. You know what I mean) are walking, talking, ass kicking proof that you don't need a crazily short, tight dress with your boobs spilling out (although, if that is your preference then thats cool. You do you! I am just sharing my opinion) to be sexy... You just need tailoring that can show off your body. With tailoring you have one of the most important elements of clothing - dress for your body and not someone else's! In simple terms.. tailoring tailoring tailoring. A higher neck line is just as sexy (if not more) than a plunging v-neck and don't be afraid to play with vibrant and colourful items in your closet! Damn... I really want to be a badass lawyer babe now.. And I really want a personal tailoring service. Damn it. 

Hope you guys liked this (slightly rambling) Suits post! Seriously, if you haven't seen the show I would highly recommend you go check it out! It is incredibly well written with interesting and funny (as well as amazingly dressed.. obviously) characters. Its golden. 

Much Love,

Caroline

HAIRspiration

Hello lovely blog readers! I have recently gotten to a point that I always seem to hit this time of year.. the I-need-a-drastic-haircut-because-it-is-almost-summer-and-I-am-bored-of-my-hair point. I am the kind of person who has never had an issue with cutting/colouring/changing my hair, as I always think "it's hair... it will grow back out!" Fortunately (sometimes slightly unfortunately) for me, my hair grows like an unwanted weed in your garden.. Seriously - so so fast. Keeping up a fringe is a pain in the ass for me. SO, because of said fast growing nature of my hair I have decided to go for a much shorter hair style when I next go to the hairdresser (I am one of those stubborn people who only goes to one specific hairdresser and that happens to be in Denmark.. So I have to wait a little longer). Quite a few celebrities have made the chop at one point or another so I thought I would throw together some of my favourites so you guys can get a feel for the look I am talking about (don't worry - I ain't gonna go all Miley).


Yes, these four ladies all have rather different yet similar hair styles and it is somewhat of a melding of them all that I want - a bob (just above the shoulders) with lots of layers and a side swept fringe.. Now just to have those natural, bed head curls that I have always wanted.. On top of my haircut, I am looking to go blonder! I have recently dyed my hair a lighter, more honey blonde colour (I am more of a dirty/dark blonde.. I think) and I would like to go a tad bit lighter still.

Hope you all enjoyed this HAIRspiration post (I am so punny it hurts) and that you're doing wonderfully!


Much Love,

Caroline

Style Collage: Lace and Leather



In the spirit of Coachella (why am I not there?) I thought I would do a festival inspired style collage post! This is exactly what you would wear at a festival (at least I wouldn't), so it is more of an everyday/city version of the trend. I have always loved lace and leather but never considered combining the two in an outfit..

Starting off with a white dress you can do a lot - dress it up with a red lip (I have an obsession) and a pair of heels or dress it down with a cardigan, some boots and some necklaces. It is one of those staple items that in my opinion are essential for a summer wardrobe (I am still looking with my Little White Dress). Whats more - a white dress is the perfect trick to make you look a little more tanned. I found this lovely, simple Vero Moda dress (fair price! yay!) which was my style canvas for this collage. From there I went a little accessory crazy. Recently, I have become obsessed with layering long necklaces and I thought it was perfect for the vibe (duuuuuuddeeee) of this outfit. Next up I wanted to add the one accessory item that I can't wear (I really wish it id suit me) but is a typical summery festival piece - the flower headband/headpiece. I found this gorgeous white/cream colour flower crown that fits perfectly with the outfit!

Now onto the leather! There is nothing I love more than a good ankle boot - especially when it is paired with a summer dress! It creates the perfect sweet and summery meets rock and roll/country babe. I went with a dark leather colour because it creates a nice contrast with the pale colours of the dress and other accessories. With a boot like the one in the collage, you can easily dress down your typical pretty summer dress and give it some edge. Finally is the essential item of... the handbag. If there is one item of clothing/accessory I could shop for endlessly it would be purses and handbags. This one is from Forever 21 and looks a lot like the much loved Alexa Mulberry bag - perfection for us students! 

If you are interested in checking out my Polyvore then please click the link! Lots more style collages where they come from!


Peace, Love and Happiness to all. Hope you enjoyed the post!

Much Love,

Love Links: Four

This Love Links post has a little bit of everything - some funny, some food and some fashion. What more could you ask for? I mean... come on. I hope you enjoy this post! Let the linking begin!

  1. Let us begin with the food part of this post. If you know me well, you are well aware of the fact that there is a large place in my heart for grilled cheese sandwiches.. And if you didn't know that vital piece of information - now you do. You're welcome. With this great love for this food, it is only natural that I would include the Grilled Cheese Academy. Yes, this website exists and yes, it is phenomenal and life changing.. Warning - major food porn. If this doesn't make your mouth water and your tummy grumble then I don't know what is wrong with you. 
  2. I have previously ranted about the importance of eye brows. If you don't believe me then just check out these 14 Before and After pictures that prove how right I am. Some of them are not too horrible whilst some of them are just outrageous - Demi, what was you thinking girl?
  3. Now onto the fashion! This may also please all the gamer readers I have - Mario Kart themed shoes. Amazing. I know. They are perfect for summer and I desperately want a pair (I have already planned around twenty outfits to go with them) but oh that price tag... Sob.
  4. Finally we have a little bit of interior design gracing this Lovely Links post with 30 Chic Workspaces. I am one of those people that daydreams about having my own place to decorate (*cough* pinterest folder completely dedicated to it *cough* I have no life *cough*) on a regular basis, so this post greatly satisfies my desires. So much pretty.
If you guys have any interesting links or blogs that you would like to share then PLEASE do so! :) I am always looking for cyber goodies. Hope you are doing wonderfully!

Much Love,

Caroline

My Top 5: MTV Movie Awards 2014

This year's MTV Movie Awards was pretty boring when it came to the red carpet.. However, there were a handful of outfits that caught my eye and I wanted to give them a shout out! Yes - there is not a whole lot of variation here but there really weren't many show stoppers this year (sadly). I used to look forward to the different MTV awards shows because it was an event where celebrities can be a little more quirky and have fun with their outfits... I guess not that many people got the memo this year.


Ellie Goulding

To be completely honest - I wish she had worn this dress but shorter (just above the knee) because this doesn't do a whole lot for her figure, which is uh-mazing. The reason why I chose this as one of my top picks, despite my disagreement with the length of it, is because I think she looks stunning in white and I really like the top half of the dress - the neckline and cheeky little cut outs on the side are perfection.


Rita Ora

I am just gonna say what everyone is thinking - boobs. Yes, this is a ridiculously low v neck (does it even count as a v neck?) but Rita Ora somehow pulls it off without looking tacky. Overall this is probably my favourite outfit of the entire event - its simple and classy, yet sexy with all dat cleavage. The black dress with a red lip, blonde curls and minimal accessories just works perfectly. Ora is bringing old Hollywood glam and updating it to 2014 and she is rocking it. 


Nicki Minaj

This outfit was probably the one that surprised me the most - especially considering that it is an MTV event. Nicki Minaj is greatly known for her crazy coloured wig and whacky clothing style but she seems to have toned it down a lot recently and I really like it! With a simple black, fitted long dress that shows of her strangely (her butt scares me and fascinates me at the same time - its so big) amazing figure paired with some statement gold accessories, Miss Minaj looks like she can rule the world.


Rihanna 

Oh Ri Ri - this woman will never, ever do a fashion wrong in my opinion. I love how she has smoothly gone through a handful of different trends and somehow manages to rock every single one. The bitch. Rihanna is clearly bringing her fashion week visits as inspiration for this outfit (Chanel fashion show anyone?) and I think it is perfect. It is dressed up yet casual and still shows her having fun with her wardrobe. Also - I am so glad she has gone back to her "natural" hair (quotation marks, as I have no idea what her natural hair is), it suits both her and the outfit wonderfully. I do love me a messy up-do that looks like it took five minutes when in reality it took an hour. 


Jessica Alba

Finally we have this yummy mummy who has captured the MTV awards fashion to a t! This is fun yet still fashionable and she looks radiant in it! She has played it really simple with some basic colour blocking, which is perfect for this time of year. The only thing I would say is get rid of those shoes - immediately. With this ensemble, Alba shows off how the be playful and sexy when dressing for events like this! I don't know... This outfit may just be battling Rita Ora for my favourite... 

Hope you all enjoyed this post! 

Much Love,

Caroline

This or That

Easter holidays have arrived! Hallelujah! This means I can get back to blogging a lot more (sorry for being somewhat absent recently.. last week of term is hell). I thought I would do a short and sweet blog post based on a beauty/fashion tag (I do love me a tag or two) but I will only be answering some of them. It is the This or That tag where you are given two options and you have to choose one. Simple! I am only answering a handful of the tag because I would prefer going into detail! Let us commence! 


Blush or Bronzer?

I don't think I own or ever have owned a bronzer in my 19 (soon 20.. fml) years on earth. This isn't because I don't like the product, it is simply because I just don't really use it.. ever. Personally, I don't think bronzer is a product that would suit me. Out of the two I have chosen blush, which is a product I don't use all that often either, but it is a great way to add some colour and warmth to your face. Whenever I apply blush, it is only done very lightly - just enough for that rosey, pinched cheek look.

My favourite blush - Legendary by MAC. Its the perfect pop of colour for my face when I am looking a little washed out. Sad news... Its been discontinued as it was sold as a part of the Marilyn Monroe collection :( Why didn't I stock up on it when I had the chance!?


Lip Gloss or Lipstick

This one is easy - Lipstick, lipstick, lipstick. I very rarely use lipgloss and every time I do, I remember why I stopped wearing it the time before - it is messy and your hair gets stuck in it. No thank you. Lipstick (or lip balms - thought I would throw that one in there too) is so much easier to work with and has a much better overall pigmentation and lasting power. 

My favourite lipstick - I love me a red lip, which Viva Glam 1 by MAC is perfect for. It is the perfect (wearable for everyday) dark red. Plus its Viva Glam and Ru Paul. Nuff said.

P.S. I would highly recommend investing in a lip primer from MAC. It changed by lipstick wearing life the day I got it. Trust me.


Eye Liner or Mascara

I love both these makeup products a lot, but if I had to pick one it would be mascara. If you want to look awake early in the morning, my go to product is mascara - it opens up your eyes and makes you look fresh. When it comes to eye liner, I tend to wear liquid liner on an everyday basis but I leave pencil liner for my "going out" makeup. As a person with a dark eye colour, lining my water line with a pencil liner (unless it is a nude/white colour) slims your eye and gives you an intense look.. a little too intense for everyday use for me, but perfect for a night out. Trust me, I used to pile on black pencil eye liner like it was my day job when I first started using makeup and boy.. it wasn't a good look for Year 7. I can't believe I started using eyeliner in Year 7.. Thank goodness those days are gone.

My favourite mascara - They're Real by Benefit


Foundation or Concealer

Out of the two I use concealer the most so I would have to go with that. With concealer, you have a basic coverage of your blemishes and all that jazz, which means you are pretty much set. I prefer not to wear a face full of foundation because it makes me feel cakey and uncomfortable - with the exception of two products. Concealer is a light and comfortable way to cover up any problem areas you have without it being too much.

My favourite concealer - Bourjois Healthy Mix Concealer


Perfume or Body Splash

Perfume - hands down. That is nothing against Body Splash but I have just become so obsessed with a small selection of perfumes that I could never dream of changing over now. I have smelt the Body Splashes (Body Sprays?) at Victorias Secret and they are so good! But I still prefer my perfumes. Perhaps I should write a post on my perfume collection/preference... hmmm.

My favourite perfume - Chloe


Studs or Dangly Earrings

BOTH! Depending on the occasion, I wear both studs and dangly earrings the same amount. With earrings, however, I tend to have phases where I love wearing them and I change from pair to pair constantly.. Or I don't wear any at all (for example, right now). I wouldn't recommend not wearing earrings because it is a total pain (actually) when you fall in love with wearing them again after having not done so for a while.

My favourite earring designer - Line & Jo (so danish and so pretty) 


Heels or Flats

I wish I could say I am a heels kinda gal but I am really not.. I have maybe two or three pairs of high heels that I can walk in comfortably for the night but that is it. I prefer flats - I am more comfortable in them and I say comfort beats all else. I truly am horrendous at walking in heels unless it is one of the few pairs I own (that I have practiced walking in for ages). A nice compromise between the two shoe styles is the heeled sneaker. I have a pair that I was given as a graduation gift almost two years ago (fuuuuuuuck) and I still wear them to this day - they are comfy yet still give you that sexy feeling of wearing heels.

My favourite style of shoe - Ankle Boots



I hope you are all enjoying your holidays! 

Much Love,

Caroline

Style Collage: A Hint of Mint


I have become majorly addicted to Polyvore recently so you lucky darlings get another Style Collage post (it's the last week of term and I have a lot of stuff to get done - I promise the posts will go back to being more interesting very soon)! This has been the perfect source of procrastination for me.. so its a blessing and a curse. Damn it. On to the actual collage - like the previous one, this style collage is also inspired by the currently beautiful and lovely summer weather here in England. This one, however, plays a little bit more with leather. I lurve me some leather (in a completely non kinky way, I swear). 

Every closet, in my opinion, should harbour a luscious leather jacket. It's simple yet adds an extra kick to an outfit. It can be dressed up or down - Basically, a leather jacket is a staple piece. Werk it. It is perfect for this time of year where the weather could easily swing back to dull and cold and then switch right back to blue skies and lots of sunshine. My favourite way to wear a leather jacket is with denim and a plain/solid coloured top. Considering that it is getting warmer, I decided to pair denim shorts with a dark grey tee. Some people aren't too keen on the combination of shorts and a leather jacket but for me, I think they make a casual yet slightly cheeky outfit. Rawr. 

I added a sexy little Steve Madden bag (looks like it could be Balenciaga, right?!) because every outfit needs a bag - the cherry on top! In addition to this, I found these cute cat shoes by Charlotte Olympia (the price tag breaks my heart every time I look at it), which I love because they are subtly quirky and add detail to what you are wearing. I own a pair of mouse flats in an electric blue that I love to throw on if I am wearing something simple or lacking in colour, especially if I am just wearing a plain black dress. Its the best when people, after seeing you all day, all of a sudden come up to you and go "OMG I didn't even see that your shoes are [enter cute animal of your choice here]!" Oh so sneaky. Speaking of colour - the last thing I did was to throw in a pop of colour by adding a mint Essie nail polish. When trying to brighten up an outfit I feel that adding a vibrant necklace, colourful lipstick or nail polish is the best way to do so, as it adds colour without throwing off an entire outfit.

I hope you guys enjoyed this style collage and that you all have a wonderful easter break! 

Much Love,

Caroline

Style Collage: Spring Time Happiness




About two or three years ago I had the biggest obsession with a website called Polyvore. It is basically a website that lets you create collages of all sorts of things - fashion, beauty, shoes and all that jazz. You have complete freedom to browse through a huge online closet full of images for you to mix and match.  There are also a bunch of fonts and effects for you to play with the add to your collage (*cough* procrastination central *cough*).  I have linked all the different items above but if you click here you can check out my Polyvore account where this collage as well as future ones will be available to save/favourite and to check out the links for the various items. Now onto the collage Spring Time Happiness..

Here in England the Spring/Summer weather is beginning to appear (today was wonderful - 17 or so degrees.. yes please) so for this special occasion I thought I would make a little fashion collage based on this time of year. Just to clarify - I do love heels but I don't know if I could handle wearing them all day erryday.. I truly admire the ladies who can but I, sadly, am not one of them. However, I thought a sexy pair of black pumps would just look fabulous with this outfit - don't you agree? As I have mentioned in a previous post, I am a big fan of the ripped up boyfriend jean trend and I have recently seen a lot of girls wearing them with either white button ups or white tank tops... And it looks amazing. There is just something so perfect about denim jeans and a white top - it just screams summer time to me. Personally, I prefer the more oversized shirts and tops for summer - easy and breezy, ammirite?Depending on what time of day you are planning to rock this outfit.. a red lip could be added as a way of spicing it up a little bit. A red lip is always a good idea. I have this one brick red lipstick from MAC cosmetics that I love because it is the perfect deep red and has a lovely texture and pigmentation. 

Let's talk accessories now, shall we? First - the handbag. If you haven't come across the Mulberry Alexa Bag you must be living under a rock or avoiding it on purpose. This is one of those bags that will be fashionable for a very long time in my opinion, especially the brown and black leathers because they can be paired with pretty much everything and anything. No - I do not own this beautiful specimen of bag but a girl can dream! Next up is probably the most essential accessory at this time of the year - a lovely pair of sunnies. I have a very round and weird face, which makes it difficult for me to find sunglasses that don't make me look like a bug (also I am ridiculously picky..). One of the very few styles that suits me in the world of sunglasses is the cat eye - a timeless sunglass shape if you ask me. Finally we have some bling - the cherry on top of any outfit. I never really wear a tonne of jewellery but when I do it is mainly rings (I have 5 rings that I always wear) and necklaces. Necklaces, especially, can really just add that something extra to an outfit - whether you are going out for drinks or for a shopping trip. It is such a small and simple detail that can have a great effect and complete an outfit. Next up on my necklace wish list is a huge, chunky statement piece.

Hope all you wonderful people enjoyed this post! Have a beautiful day!

Much Love,

Caroline

By The Way...


This is probably the most random thing I have ever done and is also incredibly unlikely to happen but I entered this contest under Best International Blog - Newcomer. Yes - I think I may have lost my mind and yes, I have only just started this blog but why not give it a shot? (WOOP for self confidence/insanity - not quite sure which one it is at the moment) This is a tiny little blog that I am falling more and more in love with every day and I would really love to see it slowly grow and develop into something wonderful! Company is one of my favourite magazines (it is kind of like the British Nylon if any of you are looking for a new magazine addiction) and what could be better than combining two loves of mine - the magazine and the blog. 

Okay - I am just ranting now because I honestly feel a little bit silly for just nominating myself for this when I probably have no chance in hell but hey! Its summer and I am almost done with my second year of university so why not take a random chance!

If you guys are interested in nominating me than you can click here :) It is really simple and it would mean a lot! Before anyone gets the wrong idea - I am doing this to promote something that I am truly proud of and something that I love doing. That is all. Thank you for reading this slightly rant-esque post and thank you to anyone who votes (I LOVE YOU). Hope you are all doing wonderfully!

Much Love,

Caroline 

Gurl, I Like Your Style: Selena Gomez

Selena Gomez is another celebrity that I have a love/hate relationship with.. I am not a fan of her music (or her taste in men.. if you can even call Justin Bieber that) but I do admire the way she has transitioned from Disney girl into her own (yes - I actually enjoyed Spring Breakers). The same goes for her evolution of style. Although she sometimes takes her skirt a little too short and her heels a little too stripper-esque (there have only been a few but seriously.. no one needs to wear shoes like that when doing a food shop...), her style is overall one that I really really like and I look to for inspiration. When looking at her red carpet/event style in contrast to her everyday style, I must admit that my preference remains with her everyday clothes.. I want it all! Some of her events dresses, however, cannot be ignored and deserve some serious adoring (that girl knows how to wear a plunging v-neck - werk gurl). Below are some of my favourite Selena Gomez outfits - enjoy!

Not only is her style amazing but this girl has a luscious head of hair as well (probably a weave.. at least thats what I tell myself to hold back my hair envy) and amazing legs. I'm not jealous. Not at all. I just love how she can go from looking stunning in a pair of shorts and a jumper carrying a fast food drink to rocking a hot red blazer and skirt set... One fine day I will own a closet just like it! I must admit.. Selena Gomez is probably one of the only celebrities where I can point to something she has worn and gone guurl what the fuck were you thinking?! Keep up the good taste! 

Much Love,

Caroline 

Lovely Links: Three

Lovely Links is back! For the third post in this "series" there is a little bit of everything - a cocktail of online goodies. Let's just dive into it, shall we?

  1. Nylon Magazine is the holy grail of all magazines in my opinion - it is creative, interesting and well written. Being subscribed to them on Facebook means that I constantly get updates from their website and blog about what new and snazzy things they have found (I think I use the word snazzy too much), one of which are these amazing Emoji Loafers. They aren't exactly in my student price range (damn it) but they still need to be shared and drooled over - they are hilarious and pretty at the same time - jackpot. 
  2. Next up is an artist by the name of Luke Dixon. There isn't really much to say about his work other than.. IT IS SO COOL AND DETAILED AND BEAUTIFUL! He does everything from posters to t-shirts and is just so amazingly talented - please go check him out! You won't be sorry!
  3. Everyone loves a little bit a juicy celebrity gossip every once in a while.. Some of us embrace it and others deny it.. And with that I would like to introduce you all to the wonder that is Oh No They Didn't! This is a wonderland of celebrity news, gossip and everything in between. It is a part of livejournal so it is written by a large group of people instead of just one. Plus.. the community that comes with this website is scrumptious. 
  4. I don't have every many girl crushes but Anna Kendrick is positively one of them. Just to show how awesome this human being is, I am gonna leave this pearl of a Buzzfeed article here. Enjoy.

Until next time... Take care!

Much Love,

Caroline

Let's Talk... Pillows/Cushions

These posts are clearly showing how badly I want my own place to decorate the shit out of.. I feel like such a boring old lady! Hopefully you guys do find these posts somewhat interesting and I sincerely hope I don't bore you to death with them (please let me know if they do and I promise to stop and leave these things solely to my pinterest - scouts honour). So far we have had coffee table books and makeup palettes and now we are moving onto a hidden obsession of mine - pillows and cushions. If I had the money and storage I would buy loads and loads of different pillows. I am the kind of person who loves piling cushions onto couches and beds because I think it looks cozy and snazzy (that combo right there)! When it comes to decorative pillows and cushions (is there actually a difference or is it another British vs. American pronunciation thing that is happening here?) I prefer them simple.. so not with loads of colour and pattern but instead with sketches, small pops of colours or quotes/phrases (not cheesy ones though!). To give you guys an idea of what I mean/what kind of pillows I like, I have added some examples down below. Enjoy!

FYI - I have a huge obsession with sugar skulls. Like HUGE. I think they are so interesting and beautiful, so why not have them on a pillow!

The following pillows are ones that I really like because you can personalise them and add your own touch!

This is something I would love to do one day - it's a really nice way of keeping a memory. Take any ticket - plane, bus, train.. boat even.. from a trip that is special to you. Some people might find this ridiculous and cliche but I think its a sweet idea!

This is another simple idea for a personalised pillow/cushion - the coordinates of somewhere meaningful. This is probably my favourite one.

I cannot believe that I just wrote an entire post on pillows.. What have I become?! To be fair.. I can't be the only person in the world with random obsessions like this.. They are so pretty! Can you blame me? 

I hope you guys enjoyed this rather random post - Have a lovely day!

Much Love,

Gurl, I Like Your Style: Emma Watson

Although I feel that Emma Watson isn't the most amazing actress (I will love Harry Potter 'til the day I die.. but Perks Of Being A Wall Flower... Really?) the girl does know how to carry herself in interviews and how to dress (high five to your stylist). I was on Grazia Daily earlier and I found a post on the Best of Emma Watson and I thought I would share some of the choices here (these are my favourites). Emma Watson is one of those actresses that I look to when I am lacking inspiration (there are more fashion inspirations to come, fear not). Feast your eyes on the lovely ensembles below..

Also - can we all just take a second and soak up the fact that she can make a white top and denim shorts look amazing? If only I could do that...

I hope you all liked this quick, little post! There will be more like it to come! 

Much Love,

Caroline
