The New Face of Miss Dior Cherie

If you haven't heard, the new face of Miss Dior Cherie will be no other than Natalie Portman. Yes, the Black Swan star will be featured in the campaign for the well-known perfume that mixes the subtle scents of green tangerine, pink jasmine, and patchouli. Dior made a wise deciscion for picking sucha  fashion-forward and strong lady.

Natalie can never go wrong in floor-length mixed with a bold color. Both the purple and the bright red bring out the best in Portman's color. Strappy heels and elegant buns don't hurt either. Both dresses have such intricate and unexpected necklines that take the dress to another level. Adore.

While Portman can handle long dress, she also looks stunning in short minis. She looks angelic in her baby-pink lace Dior dress. She matched them with sweet ballet-inspired heels and a black and white clutch. Her Miu Miu look is still sweet but she adds a drama with gold heels and a shorter hemline. Both very different. But both very beautiful.

Portman is excited for this new adventure in fashion, describing the campaign as "playful, chic, and Parisan". Sounds intriguing.

Day and Knightley

Unfortunately Kiera won't be in the next Pirates of the Carribean film tentatively set for May 2011 but she shines in her new film, Never Let Me Go. I'm a huge Kiera fan and I'm so excited for this movie! This film will hopefully help me forget the horrible ending of The Duchess. 

Kiera is one of my all time favorite actress. She has such range, from romantic-dramedy to brilliant period pieces. Plus she was in my favorite love story of all time. Yes, of course I'm talking about Pride and Prejudice. :) While Ms. Knightley is constantly playing women from the past but her sense of style is modern and so beyond.

Just scroll down to see the truth. :)

On the left is Keira in Miu Miu. She looks amazing! You want proof? It took me two minutes to realize that there were ladies printed on her top and puppies on the bottom. I could never pull off a lady-print top but I really adore Miu Miu's bird prints. Especially on navy platform shoes. Those have to be my favorite.

On the right Keira Knightley is wearing Nina Ricci lace minidress. She paired it with a simple black blazer and platforms. Never underestimate a great classic. :) Plus, her short curled bob looks amazing. Why is everyone cutting off their hair? Are you?

 Keira rocks the digital print trend in a floor-length Erdem creation. The color kind of reminds me of the 3D glasses you had to wear in like 2001. Do you remember those? The fit is stunning and I love the way this dress just skims the floor. Its so elegant and sophisticated. Her soft, subtle makeup is also perfection.

Then Keira rocks this sheer Rodarte look while promoting her new film. She normally is so serious in her movies and I love her bright, sunny smile. Beautiful. :) She combines a very, sophisticated top with an A-line blue skirt. So pretty!

Just a little update about my life. I'm going to start preparing for tennis season. I know that it starts in March but I want to play the best that I can. It is my senior year and I know that I'm not good enough to play on the collegiate level so I'm going to make the most of this one. :)

Black Swan

I'm a big fan of Natalie Portman. I think she travels along her own path and doesn't let other people's opinions stop her from doing something. Case and point: shaving her head for V for Vendetta. That was brave--most girls would never do that--and bold.

But I saw the trailer for her new movie, Black Swan. Oh, it is so creepy looking. Here's the link. [i can't seem to place youtube videos straight into my video. does anyone know what i'm doing wrong?]

The Rodarte designed costumes are sure to be stunning. But its the story of two ballerina dancers who must vie for the lead in Swan Lake. Natalie Portman plays a woman who finds herself discovering her dark side.

This film premiered at the Venice Film Festival and Variety called it, "one of the strongest Venice openers in recent memory".

It looks really good and I'm really curious because I'm wondering, does she turn into a swan? But I don't do well with horror/physchological thrillers...so I don't know. Jeez. Every time I watched the trailer I get shivers.

But I guess that was their intent when they made it. Black Swan is going into a limited release on December 1st. Are you going to go watch it?

Moving onto fashion-related news, on September 21st Burberry's Spring 2011 Collection will be streamed live to 25 locations worldwide and you can purchase items immediately on the i-pad. I know that I don't have the money to buy anything but I'm so excited to see what Christopher Bailey has dreamed up for this season.

Oh, if only tomorrow would get here faster!! What is 4PM London time on the East Coast, like California?
