UES Dazzle...

Gossip Girl seems to be all every fashionista can think about, especially now that every fashion house is also dying for a little bit of the oh so glam Upper East Siders. First it was Blake and Chanel, their love affair created quite a stir in the fashion world, then it was Leighton and Herbal Essenses, although nothing really came of that.  Then Leighton became the face of Vera Wang's new fragrance and was spotted Vera Wang clad, leaning over a Manhattan balcony looking every inch the Upper East Side Princess. As if that wasn't enough, now it's Leighton and Missoni.  Leighton Meester is my absolute favourite, brunettes are so much better than blondes (I could never be blonde to I have to say this). She's classy, pure with that English rose look about her - and looks absolutely fabulous in the new Missoni ad campaign...

Some girls have it all...

Finally, those Chanel & Blake Lively rumours have been confirmed.  She will be the face of the Chanel 'Mademoiselle' handbag collection. She's everyone's favourite Upper East Sider, with legs that go on forever and designers falling at their feet to be her new BFF, and who can blame them? She's the girl we all want to be, even before her Chanel endorsement. I am a little excited to see the handbag collection though, Chanel do a good handbag...

Blake for Chanel?

Blake loves Chanel and it seems Karl Lagerfield loves Blake. The rumour mill is going into overdrive tonight as whispers flurry round about Blake Lively fronting the ad campaign for Chanel's Spring handbag collection.  We seen it coming didn't we.  Front row at the couture show in Paris, effortlessly elegant in Chanel at event after event and coying up to the man in black himself at the New York Chanel store reopening in New York. A mutual appreciation society it seem and a fashion team from heaven...if what we hear is true!

Chanel have declined to confirm rumours at the moment, but soon enough the Gossip Girl could join an endless roll-call of celeb ambassadors for the brand.  Watch this space...

A week without...

A week without my Gossip Girl fix is just too hard. So while I was watching good old Series One (Victor Victrola, series 1 episode 7) I came across the pictures of Blake Lively at The Scream TV Awards which were held in Los Angeles over the weekend. I don't think she could have looked any better. From her swooping floor length Lanvin gown ,which hit every AW10 trend - chunky embellishment, tan detailing and a daring thigh high split, to her burnt orange eye shadow and understated hair.  She looked absolutely perfect and shown the world exactly why Anna Wintour chose her to cover Vogue twice in one year. Oh Blake, we love you...
