Fashion has become another character in the Gossip Girl drama. Here are some essential items to getting the clothes at home.
1- White tights
According to Blair Waldorf, you’re never too old for white tights!
2- Thigh highs
Note: Thigh-highs are about as forgiving as white tights, so if you’re under 5’9” and want to wear them, we suggest growing.
3- Poufy dress
It’s by far the best outfit to sulk in.
4- A super hot mom
A la Lily van der Woodsen, super-hot Serena’s super-hot mom.
5- A capelet
What’s a capelet!? If you need to ask, you might as well just give up now.
6- A gold mask
A Gossip Girl never knows when she might get a last-minute invite to a masquerade ball.
7- An extensive headband collection
The headband is an absolute right of passage for Blair and her devoted underlings.
8- Shoulder bones that could cut glass
Because everybody knows that clothes hang better when your body resembles a coat hanger.
9- A pint-sized pooch
A given…
10- Silk pajamas
Your responsibility to look gorgeous does not stop just because you happen to be alone, asleep, or in a pitch-black room.
According to the LA Times
Men have questions when it comes to fashion too so we looked up some great answers from Esquire Magazine. These solutions are perfect for men and women who like to dress their man.
Q- Obama wears his suit without a tie. Can I?
A- You too can pull off this look as long as you look put together. To ensure that people know this look was intentional your collar needs to be more stiff and more formal, with the ability to stand up on its own without the support of a tie. Your suit also needs to fit perfectly.
Q- Do belts and shoes have to match?
A- It’s actually preferable not to have your shoes and belt match perfectly, but you do want to stay within the same ballpark so that they compliment one another e.g., chestnut and chocolate are usually close enough, but dark, reddish brown and light tan are not.
Q- I spill liquor a lot. What are the best fabrics to wear?
A- Try machine-washable clothing (e.g., cotton) and robust weaves like denim, and not dancing with a glass full of red wine.
Q- When do you keep on or take off a hat?
A- The rules of hats are arguable, but their is one rule that remains true and that is to take your hat off whenever in public spaces, like the elevators in department stores.
Q- Are notch lapels okay?
A- 1) George Clooney often wears a notch lapel, so it must be all right, and 2) waiters often wear a notch lapel, so it ain’t all right. Somewhere in between the two is the official line that a peak lapel is a sounder, classier bet

Gossip Girl is back on air-finally! One of my favorite things about the show is the outfits the girls wear. Although Serena and Blair wear designer labels that are more expensive than most of us can afford, their looks can be recreated easily.
Serena van der Woosen’s style is said to be inspired by Kate Moss. That means “she mixes lots of fashion-forward and vintage pieces together for a look that is “boho chic” with a rocker-chick edge.” Being from the tpper east side she still always looks sophisticated and chic.
Serena’s wardrobe essentials consist of:
- Well-cut Jackets
- Skinny Jeans
- Dresses
- Boots
- Layered Necklaces
- Bangles
Blair Waldorf’s style “is very classic, preppy, and polished” This Queen Bee is always perfectly put together and always looks like she’s stepped out of a fashion magazine and accurately represents the stereotype for the upper east side.
Blair’s wardrobe essentials consist of:
- Dresses & Skirts
- Tailored, Classic Pieces
- Pops of Color
- Girly Details
- Dressed-Up Loungewear
- Headbands
- Tights
We seem to get busier and busier and only finish up our workday and errands once the stores are closed. Luckily for those of us who want to stay fashionable we can shop online. Here’s a website that not only lets you shop multiple brands, but it lets you put together your ensembles.
Now you can see how it will look together before you pull out your credit card. This is ever better than shopping at the mall!
Traveling can be stressful so WatchMojo.com found three brands, Pretty Ballerinas, SWIMS and WANT Les Essentiels de la Vie, that are perfect for those on the go. SWIMS was developed to be the modern galosh, and a stylish solution to inclement weather. Enhanced comfort is assured and your shoes are guaranteed to stay shiny. Pretty Ballerinas are the perfect flat show that is available in a multitude of colors and in materials such as leather or satin. They’re perfect summer footwear, and they’ll last for years. WANT Les Essentiels de la Vie was conceived out of a “want” for premium-quality leathergoods to house the “essential” professional and personal products that we use in our modern everyday lives. It challenges the status quo by offering stylish, functional and affordable leather goods.
Coach is introducing a younger and hipper collection called Poppy. This collection is much more colorful and playful, with new silhouettes and lower prices. Poppy is quite different from the classic Coach designs and is suppose to draw a younger crowd.
“When designing Poppy I really wanted to explore who the Coach woman could be,” said Reed Krakoff, President and Executive Creative Director. “With its bright colors, prints, sequins, and new fabrics, Poppy is a natural extension of the brand while simultaneously proving to be an exciting draw for new customers and age groups.”
While the prices are much more reasonable than the classic Coach collection, customers still need to be willing to spend at least 200$ on a purse.
The collection retails from $198 to $598, which includes bright colored headbands, handbags, wristlets, pochettes, footwear, accessories, eyewear, and apparel items. The collection debuts in July in stores and online at Coach.com.
Luxury and glamorous accessory designer Jimmy Choo is bringing his coveted deigns to H&M this fall.
The Jimmy Choo for H&M collection will be available as of November 14 in 200 select stores around the globe. This partnership marks the first collaboration between H&M and an accessory brand.
Fashionistas better mark their calendars and start the countdown now because this is going to be a sought after collection! Jimmy Choo is already a must have among celebrities in Hollywood and has been worn on the red carpet by Oscar winners Cate Blanchette, Halle Berry and Hilary Swank.
Shoes and a great bag are a must to finish every look. According to Tamara Mellon, President and Founder of Jimmy Choo. “It doesn’t matter what you are wearing – if you have good shoes and a good bag, you’ll look right”.
