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!
