I’m such a sucker for a printed t-shirt. They’re so simple, they go with everything and when they’re as cool as these why not have 20 in your wardrobe?! These are some of my favourites from dELiAs, but there are a tonne more on the website. I’m seriously considering buying the Hogwarts and Zoolander ones, but that’s just me :)
P.S. This post is dedicated to my little sister, also a big fan of nerdy printed t-shirts ;) Happy 12th Birthday!
Considering I’m such a massive Potterhead it was pretty inevitable that I would feature the books in some way on my blog.
Unlike with my last “From the pages of…” post, the Harry Potter series requires no description – unless you’ve been living under a rock for more than 10 years.
I thought I’d look at the personal styles of 3 characters from the Harry Potter book series: Hermione Granger, Ginny Weasley and Luna Lovegood.
I’ll try to steer clear of the movie looks for each of the characters and take a queue from their personality and descriptions from the books.
Hermione Granger, the cleverest witch of her age was never one to care much for looks. With her frizzy hair and intellectual manner Hermione’s casual style to me would veer towards the practical but with dentists for parents, I would imagine her life would not be completely void of clothes shopping.
Ginny Weasley as the youngest of 7 siblings, all of whom were boys, would most likely have the hardest time with her style. However, Ginny being Ginny I would imagine she would be a fantastic DIY-er, with many a hand me down from her brothers and her mother being a fabulous seamstress. As a Quidditch player, I could also see her preferring practicality and is very much a tomboy.
Luna Lovegood is definitely the kookiest character in the series. Daughter of the Editor of Quibbler and lover of Crumple-horned Snorlacks, Luna’s wardrobe to me is full of fun. Unafraid of other opinions, I could see her getting away with much more than Hermione and Ginny in terms of colours and patterns (perhaps paying attention to the current mix prints trend at the moment).
Well, I’m off to see Deathly Hallows part 2 for the second time tomorrow with my sister; I saw it already yesterday with a friend of mine and sobbed like a baby. It was full on emotionally exhausting, but a wonderful end to the series…but bring on Pottermore!! ^_^

Another red carpet roundup. It’s not an award ceremony but the sheer scale of the London premiere of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows in Trafalgar Square definitely warrants attention.
I spent the afternoon sobbing over the speeches and the fact that in a week I’ll be watching my childhood end *sob*. But I was also paying close attention to the red carpet fashion of all these actors who I watched grow up over the years.
First up and my definite favourite of the whole event was Emma Watson. I remember her arriving at the Philosopher’s Stone London premiere in something that resembled a sack, the dress wore her that time but oh how does time fly. She looked stunning and pulled out all the stops in a tulle Oscar De LaRenta ballgown. Swoon!
Another gorgeous Gryffindor was Bonnie Wright wowed me in her own special way. I love how she doesn’t compromise her style and go for the big Oscar-style gown, it suited Emma but I’m not sure it would’ve suited Bonnie. She went for sophisticated elegance in Miu Miu.
