Gossip Girl's New Season Style

2010-07-23T10:59:00.005-04:00

Super geeked for the new season of Gossip Girl, but even more excited about the wardrobe!
Found these shots from their filming in Paris. Blair Waldorf (Leighton Meester) wears a cute cherry print Moschino dress and Serena Van Der Woodson (Blake Lively) is rocking a Georges Chakra cutout beaded dress.

Serena's puzzle expression is accompanied by a gorgeous gold metallic blazer from Emilo Pucci.

Blair looks adorable while wearing a printed chiffon dress from Oscar De La Renta and Louboutin pumps.

Serena looks extra comfortable in her romper and stunning blazer from Haute Hippie Bowie.

Serena definitely takes the cake with this number.... She wears fabulous printed gown from Jenny Packham.

And if you thought you saw the last of Jenny Humprey (Taylor Momsen0, you thought wrong. Here she is sporting a coat from Yigal Azrouel.

Congrats Marc!

Reviews :: Christain Siriano: Having A Moment

2010-04-06T14:15:00.003-04:00

Last night, Bravo premiered Christian Siriano's (Project Runway season 4 winner) reality show, Having a Moment. And a moment it truly was! I loved him on Project Runway and I can tell I'm gonna love him more and more as his show airs. The first episode followed Christian and his small staff during NY Fashion Week, introduced us to his beau, and gave us a first hand look at what designers go through with buyers. Siriano's talent is beyond words and I know he'll continue to be an amazing success. Can't wait til next Monday!

2010-02-03T00:57:00.004-05:00

Kanye blogged this in response to what people have been saying about Amber and his wardrobe during Paris fashion week.

"FUNNY TO ME WHEN FASHION BLOGGERS DOWN OUR OUTFITS AND THEN SUPER JOCK OUTLANDISH sh*t ON THE RUNWAY BUT THEN THEY DRESS MAD PRUDE AND DON’T LIVE FASHION. WE LIVE IT MAN. F*CK THAT, WE LIVE IT!!! WE LIVE IT SO HARD PEOPLE LIVE THROUGH US! WE REPRESENT YOUR INNER SPIRIT!! THE CHILD IN US ALL, THE BRUTAL HONESTY, THE NAIVETY, THE BRAVE WARRIOR, THE ADRENALINE THAT ALLOWS A MOTHER TO LIFT A CAR IF HER CHILD WAS TRAPPED UNDER IT! REMEMBER, THERE WAS A TIME WHEN EVERYBODY DISSED MICHAEL JACKSON EVERY CHANCE THEY COULD. IMAGINE THE PRESSURE OF BEING A TRUE ICON. VERY FEW HUMAN BEINGS ARE STRONG ENOUGH TO TAKE CONSTANT HATE!!! IF WE DON’T DO WHAT YOU FEEL IS THE SH*T, YOU BEAT US UP VERBALLY AND MENTALLY, LIKE A CATHOLIC SCHOOL TEACHER BEATING A CREATIVE STUDENT INTO SUBMISSION. I CAN HEAR YOU SCREAMING ‘COLOR INSIDE THE LINES!!!"

Help for Haiti.. Fashion Delivers

2010-01-15T11:27:00.003-05:00

"The fashion world may be a judgmental community, but let it never be said that it is an uncaring one. Fashion Delivers, the four-year-old relief charitable foundation that distributes excess clothing to needy individuals and families all around the globe, is issuing a massive open call to designers and stores to donate "lightweight apparel" for men, women, and children in response to the epic catastrophe still unfolding in Haiti. The group is also calling for "underwear, socks, sheets (all sizes) and throws or lightweight blankets as well as baseball caps, sneakers, sandals, and sleepwear" — basically anything and everything the people of the island nation will need over the coming days, weeks, and years to stay clothed. Already Brooklyn-based retailer Bird has pledged to donate clothes on sale and 10 percent of all its sales this weekend to the cause. While the team is still working on other arrangements with boutiques and producers, with people like Sean Combs, Russell Simmons, and others on their board of directors, more high-profile campaigns should be coming soon.

Project Runway returns....

2010-01-12T21:57:00.002-05:00

"Just weeks after Irina Shabayeva was named winner of Project Runway’s sixth season — and first on Lifetime — the show is making a swift return on Jan. 14 (10 p.m. EST). And while last season found the designers transplanted to Los Angeles, the competition will return to its roots in New York City.
Sixteen competitors from all over the world — the cast boasts designers from the Ivory Coast, Dominican Republic, the Philippines, China and Mexico — will face off for $100,000, a spread in Marie Claire magazine and the chance to launch their own line. Returning as well, Tim Gunn will mentor the contestants alongside host (and judge) Heidi Klum and judges Nina Garcia and Michael Kors.
Like last year, Lifetime will air Runway’s companion show, Models of the Runway, immediately after the design competition (11 p.m. EST).

Excuse the horrible BB photos but its all I have. This weekend has been a blast! Celebrated a dear friend's birthday (can't post those pics due to embarrassing content; on my friend's part not mines), went ice skating and finally saw Avatar (my 3D pic is so not cute). I'm extremely happy I got the time to fit in some fun stuff! Hope everyone had a blessed and productive weekend.
