Gossip Girl: Treasure of Serena Madre

PinQue — Fri, 04 Dec 2009 05:57:28 +0000

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?

Speaking of Eric Daman, he just happens to have a new book coming out December 15th, "You Know You Want It." Why yes, yes I do want it!

Gossip Girl: Enough About Eve

PinQue — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 01:38:54 +0000

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 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

Plaid Shirtdress – Burberry, $850

Bandage Dress – Herve Leger, $850

Blazer – TopShop, $125

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

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:

Are you watching Glee this season? If not, you should be!

Gossip Girl: The Lost Boy

PinQue — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 23:41:00 +0000

Gossip Girl here…okay not really, but I can pretend right? Third episode into the season and I am getting bored with the storyline, anyone else? And where has Jenny been? My freshman year of college was MUCH more exciting than the Gossip kids, that is for sure! Still loving Blair’s styling, so I bring you the weekly look for less:

Not only was Beyonce’s ‘Single Ladies’ featured hilariously on GLEE this week, little Ava also busted some her single lady moves on YouTube:

Gossip Girl: The Freshman

Oh the first days of college…and poor Blair isn’t at the top of the ranks anymore and is unfortunate enough to have the one and only Georgina as her roommate. Of course you have to have a bad roommate your first semester of college, right? Or maybe that was just me? I was loving Blair’s fashion fixes last night:

Victoria Beckham Briseux Dress, Retails at $1,795 via Net-A-Porter

Paige Gamble Stingray Headband, retails for $290

The look for less:

NY & Company Shift Dress – $18

Guess Irisa Dress – $138

Ulta Headband – $7.50

I can’t identify the designers in this one, but I suspect the blouse is Catherine Malandrino…anyone else know?

J. Crew Kelsey Ruffle Top in Sweet Papaya – $88

Forever21 Floral Flare Skirt – $22.80

Jessica Simpson Josette Heel – $81.95

As for the episode itself, it improved from last week, but I am still having a hard time getting into this season for the storyline. Kind of like when the Dawson’s kids graduated from high school…it just wasn’t the same after that.

VMA Fashion

PinQue — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 00:21:43 +0000

I am assuming by now that even if you don’t know what MTV is you have probably heard about the Kanye West/Taylor Swift incident on the Video Music Awards (do music videos even exist anymore?), so I will spare you the details of that. Instead, I will focus on my favorite part of any entertainment soiree, the fashion. And why not start with Taylor Swift, since her dress was absolutely stunning:

Not only did she rock it in this Kaufman Franco gown:

She also rocked it out in the subway (seriously, how awesome was that?) in this red mini dress (designer unknown):

I was not, however, feeling Beyonce’s red mini dress by Roberto Cavalli:

I did fall in love with her stunning leotard in her Single Ladies performance:

While I am not a fan of Kristen Cavallari, I did love her silver sequined number:

I am indeed a true Lauren Conrad fan, but not a fan of her VMA look. While I like the dress, it seems a little ill-fitting on her and the hair and the makeup look a little old lady to me:

And while we are on the subject of now and former Hills cast members, let’s have a little chat about Whitney. Really, she has her own clothing line? This frock is freakish:

Wonder if Gossip Girl will be gossiping about this awful look from Leighton Meister? Is she headed to the VMA’s or the Starship Enterprise? Really Leighton, couldn’t you have taken a cue from Blair Waldorf?

I am sure we have all heard by now that PINK and Shakira were wearing the same dress, both equally unfortunate looking as the other:

There aren’t even words for this one:

Ashley Greene took funky and fresh to a new level, looks a little vintage and I likey:

Well hello there Chace Crawford, how did you sneak in my fashion recap? Oh, I guess you are fashionable, aren’t you now? Just so you know (As if you didn’t already) you are also incredibly good looking, probably even in a garbage bag:

Like the look, just not so much on Alicia Keyes…and the big hoops could go, there are enough of those on the dress:

Oliva Palermo keepin’ it classy, except this is the VMA’s, not dinner with socialites:

Loey Lo Bosworth also keepin’ it classy in the black and white, which for some reason I kind of like…that print would look great on some throw pillows on my red couch:

Thank you to Kara DioGuardi for getting it right, the perfect mix of rocker and class. I loves:

And the WTF award goes to none other than Lady GaGa…it is one thing to express your creativity. It is another to dress downright weird to get attention:

Did she smuggle a few birdies in the show with her?

Judging by most of the fashions I have seen from last night’s VMA’s, you would never know that NY Fashion Week was right around the corner.

The Hills are Alive

The Hills are back September 29th:

MTV Shows

What do you think about Kristin Cavallari replacing Lauren? Will you watch? I will of course, guilty, trashy pleasures…and you know you will too, don’t lie

Which Mad Man/Woman are you?

This is hilarious and disturbingly appropriate (except that I am female!):
