GossipGirl Style Goes Global
I have been sort of overwhelmed lately with the menswear fashion stomping down the runways of Milan and through into Paris and I can’t help but realize that it seems a certain designer is taking some inspiration for his Autumn 09 collection from our favourite men on television.
While Salvatore Ferragamo has always been known for impeccable style and perfectly tailored menswear, his most recent collection, just shown this past week has got a little bit more upper east side flair than normal. I’ve pulled some images and put together a little collage of some of Ferragamo’s best looks.
While it’s not strange that much of the suiting fits the top style Chuck Bass, what is surprising is that even the haircut suits Chuck’s character as well. There’s even styling that’ll suit up Nate and Dan, with hair do’s to top it off.
Head to toe, this line was made for the men of GossipGirl. And while designers may be playing off the much loved television series, let’s only hope that some of our Canadian men’ll do the same.

“The Queen Bee”
There is certainly something very special about Blair Waldorf. Ever since Carrie Bradshaw walked off our TV sets with her Manolos clicking, there has been a big TV fashion icon gap. Blake Lively’s Serena may be the commercial success of the show, with all the teen magazine covers and hair envy, but Leighton Meester has really brought Blair to life. Don’t get me wrong, I love Serena’s style too-in fact, her style is probably more like my own, but Blair packs a little something more in the wardrobe department- she really is the “Queen Bee” of the Upper East Side fashion scene.
With a designer mother, and more money than anyone needs at her finger tips, Blair has as many options as an girl could dream of. Her style is very classic, polished and preppy. She’s sophisticated, but also able to keep her look fun and young. She always looks as if she stepped out of a department store window; her outfit is flawless, and she never has a hair out of place. Blair’s fashion sense is definitely the quintessential upper-east-side stereotype, and she’s not ashamed of it!
No matter how subdued Blair’s outfit may be, she always incorporates a pop of colour in some way. Whether it’s a bright trench coat over a simple dress, a technicolor bag, or orange leggings under her school uniform, Blair gives her look punch with brights. Her favourite colours are red (her signature), orange, and yellow.
Blair is a total girly-girl at heart, and because of this, she loves to incorporate feminine touches like lace, bows, and ruffles, into her outfits. This is also her go-to look for formal events and parties.
Even when Blair is sleeping, she still looks completely chic! A Waldorf doesn’t wear regular flannel pajamas to bed - she sleeps in a designer negligee. And hanging around the house doesn’t mean wearing sweats! Blair has been known to wear a satin dressing gown instead.
What do you think? Do you love Blair’s style, or are you more of a Serena, Vanessa or Little J? Leave a comment and discuss.
Chace Crawford to be New Male Face of Versace?
So word on the street is that Gossip Girl’s own Chace Crawford is in negotiations to become Versace’s new male face in 2009.
I don’t know about you, but I don’t think there’s anything wrong with their current face, Patrick Dempsey. Maybe the Versace folks think he’s so old he has to put his junk in the freezer just to get it hard (thanks, I’ll be at the Laugh Factory all week).
Whatever the reason, this deal has the potential to launch Gossip Girl’s popularity into the stratosphere.
Crawford vs. Dempsey: What do GG fans think?
Party with a Marquis
Alright my fellow G.G. lovers, school has begun and I have been taking care of business, but now business has to take a back seat to my other half…Gossip Girl.
Now, two episodes have come and gone since my last post with recaps galore about them. Of course, the main dish that was served at both events was drama. But, I’ve decided to take a little detour to catch up with my other main reason for watching this dear show of mine. The FASHION! Now, mind you all, I am not a fashion guru. I’m not claiming to be fashion forward or ahead of the Catwalk curb…I just know what I like! So, if there’s something I missed, feel free to mention it! =)
I know that all my fellow fabulous ladies, and just as dashing gents, are just as excited as I am to check out the styles of some of our favourite fashionistas and fashionmistas! [YES, that is an actual word lol Google magic my friends =)] Which is why I decided to give you guys a rundown of *my* favourite outfits from the first two episodes and maybe a few from episodes past that have etched their style in my head. I’ll post my faves from each episode in different posts… (not really trying to write a novel here…yet anyway)…lol =)
First up: Episode 1: “Summer, Kind of Wonderful”
