For the first time, I want to be Emma Watson

Not because I think Hermoine (sp?) has the coolest life ever and the hottest bf in fantasyland... no, I actually don't even know if she and Harry are still together or what, and I have yet to crack an actual book in the series.

No, no, my sudden and intense envy comes from Emma Watson's latest role: she's the face of Burberry for Fall '09. I'm so relieved that Burberry decided to move away from the plaid-centricity of yore (done very purposely, I've read, to distance itself from the UK's not-so-classy "chav" set that had adopted the classic plaid). For the past several seasons the brand has been turning out impeccable lines that, while not exactly earth-shatteringly creative, are pretty much GORGEOUS and make me want to wear them all while stalking around the city, talking about horse racing and hedge funds and making notes to myself on a tiny, monogrammed leather pad.

Emma, I could care less about Hogwarts...but oh, THOSE COATS.

goodness, she looks gorgeous in those. I could use a burberry trench (who couldn't?)

I feel like she is the perfect fit for Burberry (except for the fact that she usually skulks around in Chanel). The ads look great, and her youthful regality is refreshing.

Pam, Megan, Chelsea -- I know, I'm really surprised at how well she fits the brand! I guess with a little makeup and bleached-out photography, anyone can be the heir to Agyness Deyn... ;)
