Emma Watson's relationship, as a celebrity, to designing clothing, has changed as we all have watched her grow up over the years. At first it was, "I’m really not interested in doing it for my own ego. I’m not a designer. If someone asked me to do something that was beneficial to a cause, then maybe I’d consider it." Then she became the face of Burberry, and then she ended up launching her own clothing line for People Tree, which didn't technically contradict what she had previously said about designing for a cause, since money from the line went to spreading the practice and joy of fair-trade farming. Now Watson is lending her design eye to a high-fashion designer by collaborating with Alberta Ferretti on a Jane Birkin–inspired organic clothing line, she tells Us Weekly. Watson, who declined to reveal the name of the line, said that Ferretti approached her about the project after her People Tree line came out.
"She wrote to me and said, 'I saw what you did with People Tree and I think it's a great idea and will you do something with me?'" Watson said.
..."I will put it out there that I will work for anyone for free if they are prepared to make their clothing fair trade organic," Watson said.
See, it's not about ego. It's about saving the Earth! Love those Brown students! Hermion Granger, saving the world, one closet at a time

Spring has sprung at J.Crew and designer Jenna Lyons is going to have every woman in America spending their cash and raking up their credit cards. This collection of relaxed ensembles in bright colors that refreshing, pretty, and makes you want to see more!
Opening with a number of white, ivory and cream looks that quickly segue into bold oranges, yellows, blues and greens, J.Crew’s spring/summer 2011 collection is a refreshing take on next season’s trends. The silhouettes, ranging from a shorts-and-blazer combo to an elegant maxi dress topped with a an adorable belted trench, provide an interesting mix of ensembles appropriate for both work and play. Lyons incorporates that unique style of glam paired with everyday basics into her designs and ensures that the brand’s signature offbeat edge is felt in each look.
And while I’ve seen the same old horts and neutral toned easy wear many times before, a few stand-out pieces transform the collection into an impressive display of craftsmanship -– the maxi blush-colored skirt, satin yellow shorts with the ruffle at the hip, and the full sequined floor-length skirt particularly caught my eye. In fact, I loved it.
What has traditionally been a go-to brand for buttoned-up conservatives (and Mrs. Obama) has seemingly found a new take on it's classics. The brand’s spring collection stays true to this eccentric aesthetic and has an offbeat charm and disheveled nonchalance now synonymous with the J.Crew name.

Now that the weather is getting colder, it’s the right time to do away with a beach blonde hairdo in favor of a deeper, richer hue. Stars including Victoria Beckham, Denise Richards and Angelina Jolie are rocking much darker locks lately. But which star moms are sexier as blondes, and which ones look better taking a walk on the dark side?
Some women are lucky enough to look good whatever color their hair is! Christina Aguilera lightened up her locks for her role in Burlesque and Nicole Richie’s hair is more golden than it’s been in a long time. And hair color chameleon Ashlee Simpson recently stepped out with an adorable buttery blond pixie cut that her husband Pete Wentz, 31, gives two thumbs up. “Cute hair mama!” he tweeted about the 26-year-old’s dramatic new look. I love Ashlee's new cut & color. Then again, she did look great when she was all Cabrera-Black too.

This is very sad, but not terribly surprising. Last week it was reported that one of Kate and Jon Gosselin’s twins (my money is on moody Mady) had been suspended from school for fighting. Now In Touch magazine is reporting that all of the Gosselin kids (twins Cara and Mady, 10, and 6-year-old sextuplets Hannah, Aaden, Leah, Joel, Collin and Alexis) are starting to have serious behavioral problems. The magazine reports that two of the 6-year-old sextuplets Collin and Alexis have been expelled from their private school in Pennsylvania and are now being homeschooled! I am really not surprised, but all I can think about is how happy those children all were during the first couple of seasons of their television show. Alexis has always been my favorite; her love for alligators is adorable. Collin has always been the bully of his brothers, and the divorce seems to have made his issues far worse.
My advice: Kate Gosselin, please take out the hair extentions, toss your Louboutins into the nearest Goodwill donation center, and go back to being a mother. You had a career, a successful one at that, as a nurse. Why can't you be a nurse again? It's a great career, one that makes excellent money, and you can still support your children. Sell the mansion, buy a reasonable home, and get your children anger management classes. I think "Dancing With the Stars" took you away from your children when they needed you most. I think your books are all nonsense and I really feel like we all deserve a refund for your first novel, which is now a hypocracy. Is it wrong to take early bets that one of your children someday will be In Touch magazine for drugs or a DUI? This is how it all starts.

In the interview for Vogue US December 2010 edition Angelina talks a lot about her family, partner Brad Pitt and children. She also reveals that she isn’t a good cook and her nine-year-old son Maddox is better in the kitchen than she is. He likes encouraging his mother telling her ‘Good job!’ when she makes breakfast.

Along with the famous Birkin bag, the Hermes scarf has become one of the most recognized label’s creations. Each scarf is hand-printed and hand-stitched. Besides, it has a secret that you might not have known – scarves are made with a scent!
Originally made of silk Hermes scarf measures 90 cm × 90 cm and weighs 65 grams. To manufacture one piece 250 mulberry moth cocoons are necessary. When the fabric is ready it is hand-printed by Hermes professionals who have to apply up to forty three silk screens to achieve the effect. One screen is for one color of the scarf.
Motifs for scarves have ranged from the germane (such as the French Revolution or French Cuisine) to the unexpected (such as the flora and fauna of Texas). However, the most common prints for Hermes scarf are the equestrian and military motifs.

On Thursday night in London, Emma Watson and her castmates stepped out to celebrate the world premiere of “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows”. And while Watson looked absolutely stunning in her vintage mini-dress, platform heels, and dangly drop earrings, she also found herself in a "sticky" situation when photographers caught wind of her wardrobe malfunction.
While everything in Watson’s ensemble looked hunky dory from the front, all bets were off when it came to the back. Take a look!
