Gossip Girl: Treasure of Serena Madre

Wow, was everyone else loving the drama on GG this week as much as I was? Finally the show seems to be headed back in the right direction. Oh and the FASHION! I must say I loved each and every item I spied in this weeks episode. Stylist Eric Daman really hit it out of the park for me in the Treasure of Serena Madre. I even swooned over Vanessa’s wardrobe and usually it is much the opposite. My most-coveted item was by far the ADAM car coat worn by Serena at the beginning, it was just gorgeous!

I also thought Blair’s Thanksgiving dinner dress by SYRIAH was a beautiful design. Usually I use Thanksgiving as an opportunity to bum around the house, but I think I will take a note from Blair next Thanksgiving.

The cheetah print Elie Tahari skirt donned by Lily was gorgeous, as was the Oscar de la Renta floral dress sported by Maureen. Of course, you can’t really go wrong with Oscar (the de la Renta variety, not the grouch variety) now can you?

Gossip Girl: Enough About Eve

Last night’s episode of GG did not disappoint, Vanessa was really rocking some hot looks! I could, however, do without all the Herve Leger bandage dresses. Perhaps I am just sick of seeing them or maybe I am just jealous because I could never wear one since I was blessed with some junk in the trunk. Here are my fave looks from last night:

Vanessa in Catherine Malandrino dress ($700 and not available online) and Siman Tu drop necklace ($620). 

Pair a great butterfly sleeve dress with a draping bib necklace for a similar look for less:

Serena in Alexander Wang Goddess Dress ($590)

Check out these pretty one-shoulder minis that won’t set you back a paycheck:

I totally dug Vanessa’s rocker chic style in this gorgeous Nannette Lepore paisley top ($348), DVF leggings and camel colored boots:

And last, but not least, Blair’s Elie Saab dress from the Fall 2009 line:

I love the architectural shape and color blocking on this dress, so I found some frugal favorites:

Gossip Girl: Dan de Fleurette
Gossip Girl is starting to lose my interest, both the show and the fashion! Last night’s episode was a cluster of cameos, Tory Burch, Tyra Banks, Hilary Duff. The storyline, well, isn’t much of a storyline and the fashion is fading:
 

The Good

Blair - Dan de Fleurette
 
Serena - Dan de Fleurette
 


The Bad (Ass)

Catherine Malandrino Vest – $1,055

Vena Cava Top – $421

Manolo Blahnik Sandals -$975

The Ugly

Perhaps the girls at Constance prefer Charlie Brown over Blair Waldorf?

Tibi Silk Dress – $595

GOSSIP GIRL

Parker Cami Dress – $187

Might have looked cute with some sandals, but the chunky heels and bag are too much for this light, breezy dress!

Glee-ful for Glee

Not only am I loving the Glee for the laugh out loud comedy(Single Ladies anyone?):

I am also loving germ-phobe character Emma Pillsbury’s fashions, heavily influenced by all of the J.Crew items:
