Guillaume Henry’s Fall 2011 collection for Carven gives us a little bit of everything because it is made for real-life girls like you and I.

At the showroom yesterday I saw a modern collection of statement cocktail dresses, A-line skirts, cropped sweaters, adorable shorts, luxe wool coats with furry sleeves, sweater dresses, platform wedges, bags, suede cut-out boots, flared skirts and a tan leather jacket I must own before the end of 2011.

What stood out most were the plaid pieces. I especially loved the asymmetrical plaid top above which was paired with the burgundy skirt.

This collection is perfect for elegant girls about town in search of Parisian chic.

Guillaume Henry’s Carven collection is sold via Net-A-Porter US and Net-A-Porter International.

Favourites: Baroque print dress paired with black cropped sweater and tan leather jacket

Who I See Wearing This Collection: Leighton Meester, Ginnifer Goodwin, Alexis Bledel, Lea Michele, Rihanna, Dakota Fanning, Kristen Stewart and Chloe Sevigny

Try Hard Award
The only thing I liked about Lea Michele’s look on the red carpet at the 2011 Grammy Awards was her make-up and her bracelet.

Everything about her screamed ‘try hard.’

I thought she’d taken it down her ‘try hardiness’ a few notches but it was in full effect last night.

Her Emilio Pucci dress is gorgeous, but it deserved to be worn by someone taller.

The ruffles on the shoulders made it look like her shoulders were hunched.

I also hated her triple stacked platform heels and the desperate way she forced her leg out of the split.

Nil points.
