The Goodbye of Gossip Girl XOXO

Have you been a die-hard Gossip Girl fan from the beginning? When Dan first laid eyes on Serena at the train station, when Blair realized Serena was with Nate behind her back, when Jenny hardly wore any make-up, when whats-her-face Vanessa still existed?! They were so young 6 years ago, and we grew up along with them.

Gossip Girl Cast young

I can’t decide what I am going to be missing the most, the magnetic chemistry of Chuck and Blair, Serena’s fashion, Dan’s jaw line and ever changing hairstyle, or all the surprise guest appearances by people from Rachel Zoe to Florence and The Machine…

If you haven’t watched the GG finale yet stop here, SPOILER ALERT!

What did you think of the finale? Was it every thing you had hoped for? I kinda wished that it was a full 2 hour episode. Even though it was lovely to see the cast chat about their characters, and hear to Ed Westwick talk in his real voice, 2 hours would have been nice. But I’ll take what I can get.

Did you predict who Gossip Girl was? My money was on Jenny, but Dan totally makes sense. Dan is the writer and all! And what did we think of TWO weddings within one hour? I must say, Chuck and Blair didn’t hold a candle to Dan and Serena; FOR ONCE!

Chuck with Son

Not sure how I feel about Chuck and Blair having a little 4-year-old running around, (did you picture them having kids?) seeing Jack and Georgina get cozy, and realizing that it took Dan and Serena that long to tie the knot. The “cutsy” happily ever after ending took me a bit off guard. I mean, I’m glad they wrapped everything up in a nice little bow, but what’s Gossip Girl without a little shock and drama?

Chuck and Blair Wedding

Did anyone else think that kiss was a little weak for Chuck and Blair? Also, NO ONE should wear a baby blue and white tux. Not even Chuck. However, Blair looked absolutely stunning in Elie Saab!

Dan and Serena

Now Dan, when he entered the room in that killer suit with his hair slicked back, WOW. Than Serena, in typical fashion, comes out in a borderline “too flashy” wedding dress; another WOW. Did anyone else think it’s a little bitter-sweet these two aren’t together in real life anymore? (Not that I’m not happy for Blake and Ryan)

So now I’m not sure what is going to fill my Monday night with teen drama? I feel the need to clarify, I am no longer a teenager but something about this New York fantasy world of drama has always appealed to me. (Sex in the City anyone?) I’m trying the show Revenge on for size; the Hampton’s are close to New York right? I’m curious what Carrie Diaries is going to be like. The trailers look terrible, I’m going to hope it’s not!

Will you too be grieving the loss of Gossip Girl? What will you miss the most? Who will you miss the most?

XOXO Gossip Girl

Our favorite Gossip Girl villan, Leighton Meester (a.k.a Blair Waldorf) hit up the Dior spring fashion show at Paris Fashion Week wearing this little number:

What do you think of this look? A fashion hit, or a fashion miss?


Blake Lively is one to watch.

Lately Lively seems to be all Anna Wintour can think about these days. Which makes her all over the pages of Vogue:

As an avid viewer of Gossip Girl Bake Lively seems to be a logical pick for a new up and coming “fashionista”, I’m just surprised she got on Anna Wintour’s radar so early in her career. Gossip Girl isn’t exactly a critically acclaimed show…and before that all that we new Lively from was Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.

Directly from all this media attention, Lively has received the role of a lifetime from director/actor Ben Affleck in The Town. I didn’t think she could handle playing a drugged out, single mom from Boston, but she proved she does have some acting chops! Here is a scene from the movie:

Now lets just hope she doesn’t ruin the affects of The Town with her role in The Green Lantern. Either way, she’s still hot…and will always look amazing on the red carpet:

Another Gossiper can sing.

I’m beginning to wonder which cast member of Gossip Girl can’t sing?! (Leighton Meester attempted a solo career, Taylor Momsen in her band The Pretty Reckless and Ed Westwick has a band called Filthy Youth.) Everyone on the show seems to be on the verge of a budding music career. I guess they always have something to fall back on if the show ever goes down the drain. (lets hope not!)

The next cast member I am going to gush about is Penn Badgley since Dan a little bit of a guilty pleasure. I have always had a soft spot for his character. There I said it. The most boring character from last season still is one of my faves. Wait- Vanessa is the boring-ist!

This video is of Penn Badgley looking extra dapper on the set of a photo shoot for Bullett Magazine. Around the 2:00 min mark you can hear his soulful vocals. Who knew? Could he be in the front running as the most talented singer from Gossip Girl?

Gossip Girl is the new Sex and the City?

It looks like Gossip Girl is starting to film season 4 and they are in France. I’m so excited for their September 13 debut! The finale of season 3 was the best episode of the entire season and it left us all hanging!

Upon coming across these shots of Blake Lively (Serena) and Leighton Meester (Blair) I couldn’t help but think;  is Gossip Girl the new Sex and the City? As far as fashion goes these shots TOTALLY remind us of Carrie and Charlotte.  Maybe subconsciously Gossip Girl has been filling the void where Sex and the City used to be.

As I am writing this I’m starting to think of some of the similarities between the two:

-Main character has beautiful long blond hair. (Serena vs Carrie)

-They film in New York.

-They wear designer fashion, even to bed.

-We have the uppity best friend whose style always leans to a 1950′s housewife. (Blair vs Charlotte)

-The ladies switch boyfriends faster than we can count.

-We always know deep down the blond is going to end up with the mysterious tall handsome brunette man. (Serena + Dan vs  Carrie + Mr Big)

And these are just the few that I can think of off the top of my head. I’m sure there is plenty more! Anyway, here are some of the stills from the first episode:

I am SO excited! My new guilty pleasure is about to begin tonight- GOSSIP GIRL! I am so addicted to the show, and have you ever noticed how FAB all the fashion is? Here is a my take on our two favorite girls of the show, Blair and Serena.

I love Blair’s 50′s inspired style. She always accessorizes with something classic like pearls or feminine like a bow headband.

Serena makes antyhing look chic and cool with her rocker inspired look. She is always wearing a fashionable jacket to complete her look. (She’s kinda a young Carrie Bradshaw don’t you think?)

Do you agree with these choices? Should Mario Lopez be the cover boy? For me. growing up in the 90′s all I can think if is Slater in Saved by the Bell when I see Mario Lopez!

Terrance Howard- (Iron Man), GREAT actor…the new Denzel Washington I think.

Gerrard Butler- He can sing (Phantom of the Opera) and he looks good in a loin cloth! (300) Defiantly one of my top pics! AND he’s SCOTTISH!!

Brett MIchaels- Singer in Poison. (really? He’s kinda plastic looking, don’t you think?)

Adam Levine- Singer in Maroon 5. Yes he looks good in a suit- and he can sing!

Penn Bedgley, Chace Crawford, Ed Westwick- Starring men in Gossip Girl. Great choice…I love Penn, but isn’t he dating Blake Lively (Serena Vangerwodson)? So I don’t think he counts….

Lorick Designs

so…I am slightly addicted to Gossip Girl, and almost every episode I wonder where they get that cute dress or that amazing coat. Well I figured it out! An under-the-radar designer named Lorick. She’s inspired by classic shapes from the 1950′s, and the mix of color and print from the 1980′s. If you go to the web site you can see her collections and see links to sites where you can purchase her clothing. Even if you don’t want to buy- its worth checking out!
