Bonnie Wright & katie leung: Their style

Lately many sites (including this one) have been paying much more attention on Emma Watson's good choices in fashion. Actually she deserves that recognition, she has improved quite a lot over the years, specially this year. Anyways, I'm not going to talk about Emma anymore on this post. The girls I'm gonna talk about on this post are also famous because of their roles on Harry Potter movies.

They're both so pretty and unique, and hey! both of their characters get to kiss Harry ;). Besides being that cute, they know how to dress indeed. They're Bonnie Wright and Katie Leung.

--------------

Bonnie's 16 (just as i am) and she's the perfect redhead to play Ginny Weasley. I find her style pretty up to date, usually adding vintage accesories such as oversized glasses and random necklaces. Let's see some pictures.

She takes it easy, goes for a simple black dress adding fun colours, such as red & lemon green. On the first pic, we can see her carrying her little On the pictures shown above we can see how Bonnie loves wearing tights. The first outfit looks pretty nice, everything looks alright together, even the shoes. On the second outfit, she rocks some summer dress with a high neck top inside plus a dark-green cardigan. Finally, on the third picture, she achieved a perfect naive look and her hair looks perfect for the outfit.

On the first picture, I'm loving her vintage oversized glasses and the hoop earrings. In the second one, who would mind owning a little Louis Vuitton bag? Not me ;)

--------------

Katie's 20 and we all know her mostly for her role of Cho Chang, who is the girl Harry likes and blahblahblah and they even got to kiss in the 5th book, plus I'm sure most of us saw the kiss on the big screen (OoTP). But Katie's not only that, she's one of the coolest young fashionistas. I have no idea who the first & third dresses belong to, but I'm pretty sure the golden one in the middle is Lanvin. above: the first dress is quite lovely. On the second picture, she's wearing a leopardDolce&gabanna dress and I love her black oxfords. Uh, in the third photograph, those purple tights totally make the outfit.

Although, in Peru, we're in Spring, it isn't that hot. At midday, is kind of hot, but it gets cold by the evening. That's why I'm not giving up on cardigans & other sweaters until probably December, when we instead of snow, as we see in almost every Christmas movie, have a hot hot weather (It's quite disappointing, i know). I also love cardigans, because i gain a lot of weight when it's fall [you know, lots of chocolates and sweets ;)] and they hide my belly =P

Can't remember which collection each of these dresses belongs to, and i have to say I'm too lazy to make a research =$ .

Many celebrities seem to know, cardigans are hot right know and got their own in their favourite colours. Fun to see, as we saw quite a lot of black & grey on the runway.

The best of spring 2008 runway

I really wanted to make a post about the spring collections for 2008, but as there are many sites out there which made a great job writing about it and posting pictures, I decided to make my review in a little different way so you don't get bored by reading or watching stuff you've already heard/read/seen. This post is all about the stuff i find more interesting in some of my favourite collections for next year, I tend to focus on just one thing of each, but you'll see some cases where I post pictures of more than one thing. This took a while to make indeed, so hope you enjoy it as much as I did making it ;)

Alexander McQueen

These short shorts really caught my eye. I'm not sure about if ever dare to wear something like that, but they're certainly lovely. I have no idea about how to call that piece of fabric hanging from the waist (images 2 & 3) but it definitely makes everything look so much cooler.

Christian Lacroix

Bangles are the ideal accessory for a summer/spring they, aren't they?. As thin bracelets are everywhere, they're getting so common and maybe boring, so i see bangles as a new fun option.

Chanel

Oh chanel, chanel, chanel. I couldn't made up my mind here so I'm posting three pictures of the stuff i consider the coolest. First, the ankle little bag is in almost every outfit on the chanel runway, it's such an innovative idea. Stars are everywhere. And last but not least, that quilted bag is to die for, so pretty.

Anna Sui

I'm in love with her collection for spring next year, is definitely on my top 5 favourites. It's just so different of what she's done before. If I had to post about my favourite outfits from this collection, I think it would be so hard to choose, because i almost like them all. Another thing that called my attention is the models' hair, so punk. Bright colour hair extensions are perfect for this collection., it couldn't be better i think.

Balenciaga

At starters I wasn't sure about this collection because I didn't know if it was wearable enough, but then it grew up on me and now I like it, not as much as fall's, but i still find it gorgeous and original. I can't wait to see somebody wearing anything from this. Maybe the Olsen sisters?

Andrew Gn

Flowers and nature are perfect themes for spring, right?. He's one of the few designers who went for this theme and I have to say I love it, specially how he's not only using flowers as a recurse, but a lot of green leaves.

Zac Posen

Ccrimpled Hair? like hair in waffles? I'm in!. When i was 12 I always told the the hairdresser to do a little bit of this on my hair and by seeing this I think I'll try it again now I'm a little bit older.

Gucci

I've seen many one sleeve dresses but none as pretty as the ones from this collection. After so many strapless dresses, these are a fresh new option to make a change. They're just so elegant and sexy at the same time, never looks cheap.

Emilio Pucci

Aren't these bags the coolest ever? Ohmygod, yes, they are. I love geometric prints, they're fun. I can see young Hollywood pulling it off, probably Nicole Richie.

Giambattista Valli

Heels. Let me see, which image comes to my head when i see hot stripper heels like these? Obviously, it's Posh, they're perfect for her. Wish I could walk on these!, they're def. nice.

Christian Dior

For the next season, Dior's offering a masculine and sober look. It's not very different of what we've seen before, but those top hats are pretty rad. I think it's the end of fedoras, finally ;).

Viktor & Rolf

Music had to be the inspiration for this collection and violins are perfect for decoration. Unfortunately, even if violins are so cute and everything, big violins as necklaces are not very wearable in the real life. Maybe a small version of it? ;).

Marc by Marc Jacobs

I love Marc by Marc Jacobs collection but I'm not sure about the Marc Jacobs collection itself. Anyways, I can't deny those two-coloured shoes seem so comfy and pretty, I wouldn't mind owning a pair myself.

Karl Lagerfeld

Karl seems to have a thing for neon, black and pointy stuff this season. Pretty rad, huh?. Yeah, I know the first girl kinda looks like The Statue of Liberty with that headband on but I still like it.

Luella

Everyone has been talking about them and I'm not an exception. The thick-rimmed reading glasses, also known as "geeky glasses" are such a dream come true. Luella's collection is one of my favourites, because it's wearable and cute: tons of floral print blouses, batman icons & short skirts. I'll ask some auntie of mine if they still keep their old big square glasses so they can give them to me (:

J. Mendel

I bet we'll see many of his dresses on the red carpet for the next months. The dresses are amazing, wish I could post more pictures, I had a hard time choosing just three pictures i liked. Anyways, he has the cutest long dresses of the whole spring08 runway, i swear.

--------------------------------------------------

Examinations start on Monday and end up on Saturday, day i guess i'll be able to post again and return comments. So, until then, goodbye. I really wish i could return comments right now, but it's almost 2 am and i have to wake up early tomorrow to finish studying. Hopefully, I'll return them tomorrow if I don't finish my reading too late.

Lots of love. Wish me luck =$

The tights and my resolution after the disaster.

It was love at first sight. These tights are the reason why I begged my mom so much. I have spent the last two hours asking every five minutes "Can I have them?". She actually said i could borrow them whenever I want, but they just couldn't be mine. But hey, there's a huge difference between owning and borrowing something. I'm quite disappointed because she's only keeping them with her other tights and never wears them, I'd make a better use of them instead =P. Anyways, I still have no idea about how to wear them =), so I'll just wait until some ideas come up to my head and then I'll ask her again ;)

The camera kinda screws the colour and fabric, but not too much ;). They're shiny gold. I was checking some runway pictures and I didn't find Shiny tights on Moschino Runway for 2007 ( the bright coloured ones are just too popular at the moment), but in Anna Sui's 2007 Fall Runway =).

I want to change the subject a little bit (or maybe just completely)

Remember my post about the 15th August 7.9 earthquake?. When i posted about it, i was only aware about forty of the death bodies that were found until then. The next day (16/08) the media said they weren't 40 dead, but +500. The Earthquake devastated the city of Pisco, very near Lima (Where i live) and although i really wanted to go there and help I wasn't allowed because of me being underage, some of my friends who are 18 had the chance to go, not my case.

Peruvian musicians organized a charitable concert to benefit the victims, and it took place the 29th September in the National Stadium. Of course, I attended it with some friends; it was amazing to see the amount of people who went, the tickets were sold out before they day of the concert. Pictures were shown in huge screens, it was pretty sad. Those pictures were showing the reality the way it was and it moved me.

Al sentir yo que mi ciudad estuvo tan cerca de desaparecer, creo entender, o al menos acercarme al entendimiento de lo que deben estar sintiendo aquellas personas en estos momentos; niños sin padres, personas que no se alimentan bien por días. Una locura total. Cosas que al ver te dan ganas de tener el control de todo.

At the end of the concert they announced the amount we raised, it was 1,9 million soles (like 633, 300 US dollars) which is going to be donated to build houses for the people who are sleeping in tents on the street.

Most people think that because someone is interested in fashion, he/she is shallow and selfish and It's not like that.

Mi interés por la moda no tiene que ver con mi sensibilidad ante los problemas que hayan en mi sociedad en lo absoluto. El que aprecie la creatividad de algunos al vestirse no significa que todo gira en torno a ello o que sea una cabeza hueca.

Just wanted to make that clear. So my resolution for the next two months it's to not buy something if I don't need it, otherwise I'd be acting in a selfish way, you know, spending money on not relevant stuff while others don't even have money to eat. So, yes, I'll stop shopping for a while, until Christmas, because i want to buy something for my parents and sister. And I'll also pick the stuff i don't wear anymore and send it to charity.

Uhm. I'll still post about fashion, because I love to do it. Sorry for the lack of bloggage, it's just that I spend almost all the day at university and when i come back home i just want to read or if not, sleep. I think I'll start blogging from university computers ;).

Thanks for the 28 commenters ;), I'l return your comment asap, you're so nice.
