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...

No No No...

What was Leighton Meester thinking? Anyone who is anyone hit the red carpet last night for the IFP's Annual Gotham Independent Film Awards, some looked good and some looked so wrong. Enter Leighton Meester. She usually wins our hearts in pretty dresses but Leighton opted for something different, which wasn't her best move. Looking dishevelled, odd and a bit dirty she graced (I'm finding it hard to use that adjective based on the fact that no she did not look graceful) in a men's Thom Browne suit. Oh Leighton, what possessed you? Bring back the polished princess, Halloween is long gone!

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...
