Yes, it's Emma as in Emma Watson, who tops my Lust Must list at the moment. But first, I have to admit to die-hard Harry Potter fans that I do not read the series. Don't tell me what I'm missing out on; I did attempt some seven long years ago but somehow didn't make it past three pages. Now, seven thick-ass books later, there’s no turning back—the idea of poring over the long chunks of text is simply too much for my weak heart.
If it were any redeeming factor at all, I settled for the condensed versions—the movies—which I (very sheepishly) enjoy very much because I’m such a visual person who buys into the cinematic fantasies of the magical world. Emma Watson contributed a whole lot to why I loved the series; she was cute as a button as Hermione Granger in the earlier instalments and blossomed into this painfully compelling beauty as the series progressed.
It most definitely helps that off-screen, she exudes sophistication and maturity unlike other celebrities who do nothing but look trashy, party round the clock, and get pregnant/jailed. Chanel is quoted as her favourite designer label, and she has been spotted in various outfits by the brand and at its shows with first-row seats. I thus dedicate Episode Five to Emma with the feature of various gorgeous monochrome Chanel-inspired outfits. Fans of prints and colours, do not despair! Emma fronts the latest Burberry Fall campaign, which is why you’ll see some checkers reminiscent of the brand’s trademark plaids in the episode as well. See:

HERMIONE’S HOGWARTS BLAZER
Someone please cue Hermione to cast a spell... this Chanel-inspired piece is probably getting a tad too heady with all the compliments it has been getting from everyone who has seen and tried it on. This fitted number with slightly puffed sleeves, ivory trimmings and well-placed panelling cuts a lean, mean figure even for those who don’t quite own one. It doesn’t only look good; made of thick, quality cotton, it keeps us warm and fuzzy for the rainy season ! And the darling bow brooch detail? Am completely sold on this one. What can I say, Hogwarts should be inspired for a uniform revamp !
In Black only Sold Out
Measures 16-17 inches pit to pit; 19.5 inches shoulder to hem
35$
BURBERRY PRORSUM CHECKS
We all know a sweetheart neckline with ruched bust detail never goes wrong. Doesn’t hurt that the violet diagonal checks on this frock would fit right in the Prorsum Fall line. Non-obvious smocked back (hate cheap-looking smocked backs !) and top button closure. Made of cotton. Very pretty !
In Violet only Sold Out
Measures 14.5-17 inches pit to pit; 34 inches shoulder to hem
25$
COCO GOES CORPORATE
This stunner is simply to die for. Slightly puffed long sleeves ending in smart cuffs with clothed-covered buttons, pleated details at bodice and waist panel, concealed back zipper and waist ties cut a svelte silhouette for this classy number. Made of superb quality cotton (top) and polyester (bottom) mix, this piece screams elegance and exquisite workmanship at a price far less than it looks !
In Ivory and Black only
Measures 16.5 inches pit to pit; 34 inches shoulder to hem
38$
BARE SHOULDERED BEAUTY
A romantic, billowy blouse with a sheer chiffon top and stretchy cotton banded bottom. So absolutely versatile, we tried the corporate look with a smart pencil skirt, the boho look with a gauzy skirt, and are looking to nail the effortlessly chic mantra with a pair of fitted black jeans and killer pumps. Elastic sleeves and neck opening; inner tube not included. This beauty can be worn as a regular top (not off-shoulder) as well !
In White and Black only
Measures 15-21 inches pit to pit; 18.5-23 bust/shoulder to hem
23$
FRENCH LACED MADEMOISELLE
I’ve seen tons of lace dresses but not one as flattering as this. Laced bodice and sweetheart neckline cast an alluring look, while the smoothest exposed zipper ever makes it a breeze to slip into this number. Thin elastic bands with slight smocking taper the waistline, giving way to a flare skirt that creates a great silhouette thanks to the structured cotton. Definitely a keeper (& keep it we most definitely did heh) !
P.S. Did you know that Emma Watson was born in Paris ? Now you do !
In Black only
Measures 14.5-17 inches pit to pit; 33 inches shoulder to hem
25$
CHARLOTTE DUERRE
And that makes the other half of Emma Watson’s given name, which I love to bits ♥ This sand-coloured flutter sleeved dress with a modest length is a refreshing change from sickly short bodycon dresses. Features a comfy, oversized fit (recommended for UK8 and above); lined from waist down; thin elastic waistband. Belt is for sale separately; see Episode Four. Loving the soft cotton, pretty pleats and shell buttons on this earth-toned dress !
In Sand only Sold Out
Measures 16-18 inches pit to pit; 38 inches shoulder to hem
26$
TRUE BRIT ENGLISH ROSE
Another sweetheart neckline, this time with overturned flap details. This gorgeous dress features a forgiving tulip bottom and lovely rose prints on a pale green gingham background. Matching waist belt runs through belt loops; side pockets, thick elastic band at back and concealed side zipper. Made of light structured cotton. Puts us right in the mood to head outdoors under some clear blue skies, and to a tea party after with floral-flavoured cookies !
In Rose only Sold Out
Measures 13.5-16 inches pit to pit; 27.5 inches bust to hem
25$
CHANEL SCHOOLGIRL SHIFT
If Hermione Granger had gone to a real school, this is what I’d imagine her in—an unfussy, classic shift dress. Details such as pearlized buttons and a cute double-layered bow lend extra pizzazz to the otherwise modest design. Concealed side zip; made of slightly stretchy structured cotton and holds a hidden waist elastic which make for a fab cutting that looks great on any body type !
In Ivory and Black only, in Small & Medium
Small: Measures 15 inches pit to pit; 32 inches shoulder to hem
Medium: Measures 16.75 inches pit to pit; 32.5 inches shoulder to hem
P/S: Material is slightly stretchy !
