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...

A Busy Week for Fashion...

Indeed it has been. Caroline Roitfeld hung up her designer boots at French Vogue, Karl Lagerfield flew to Berlin to star in the new Volkswagen advert, the new pretty Ugly Betty hit London,  Leighton Meester landed herself a major part of Missoni's Spring 11 campaign, Kelly Brook was spotted looking like she'd had an awful dose of botox and pre-fall collections were spilling out all over the place (see earlier post re pre fall collections).

A busy pre-Christmas jostle for the fashion world it seems.  Speaking of pre-Christmas jostle, what a day it has been. Snow started falling here around 6pm last night and it seemed it snowed all through the night. We woke up to devilishly pointed icicles hanging from the roof, a blanketed road and some serious chic yet weather savvy dressing required for frolicking in the snow.

After snow fun I spent hours upon end watching this video again (below) so I'm going to post it again. True Christmas. True New York (where I was a year ago today...how time flies!) and true romance captured within the space of 1 minute, 28 seconds...

Oh also, before you go. My boyfriend celebrated his 100th blog post here with a little questionnaire - part of his final year university project.  So if you could be a dear and complete it for him, that would make my life a little easier.  Do be a dear and fill this in...

Merry Christmas!
