i have to admit something re: gossip girl

i do not really like the school attire looks, but some of their home/weekend wear, yeah... i dig.

want

i just want to look like leighton meester.

to this effect i would maybe like a crested hopsack blazer? because obviously i need to look MORE academic on a day-to-day basis, sure

You could start with the flesh-colored fishnets or fencenets, I'm a fan of both. :)

I've never seen the show but I covet that navy coat with the white ribbon trim. And I don't even LIKE navy.

Colored tights and blazers and red/white/black and super-prep is a great look, I'm all for it minus from the schoolgirl plaid skirts thing.

it is a very hot look but it's a touch too perfect for me. i'd rough it up some. but i don't watch the show so i don't really know what i'm talking about.

I think these kinds of things are only "too perfect" on the actors who get touched-up every scene; I have the feeling that in real life by the end of the work-day you're already imperfect enough. At least *I* sure feel that way.

i don't really watch the show either. i watched it last night. was that the season finale from last year? serena telling blair she killed someone?

they film on the steps of my work all the time and to be honest the clothes look ridiculous irl. but i still want to wear headbands.

haha me too! i get to, sometimes, when i play tennis ;)

i love my headbands, but since they're the hard plastic kind they get a bit painful by the end of the day.

yeah, i have that problem with plastic headbands too. they give me headaches! ha

it was not the finale (haha aren't i embarrassing myself here by knowing that!)... all is revealed before the finale!

they also film at the hotel where laurel and i do the jewelry show :)

i think my head might be too big for headbands? i don't know. maybe i should try ribbons.

they also film at the hotel where laurel and i do the jewelry show :)

uh, what jewelry show do you do?

ORLY, theresa??!?

Surm: we do some set-up and tear-down for R_uth T@ubman but the show is invite-only and I don't want to make it google-able here or put the hotel name out, but you can see her work if you replace the characters and google her name.

WAIT SO WHO DID SERENA KILL?!

wow, fun guys!

re: crested blazer -- is this a wearable look? i know it's been showing up on runways on and off for a while -- not sure i would be able to pull it off. maybe if the crest was of the rhode island state flag i could actually rep for something? ah, idle fashion fantasies.

ja laurel, a bunch of them supposedly live there, though the interiors are diff. they use that awesome outside front area.

hmmmm make your crest some band logo or something? haha. i think you could def. make the crested blazer work, elm

I say work the blazer but make the "crest" patch something...anomalous. Get yeah either a band patch or a sports team patch or something.

I have a soccer supporter's club patch of a fighting skunk dressed like a Brooklyn cabbie that I need to find a home for. Maybe I put it on my Theory suit jacket. ;)

crested blazers are dope

^^ in before someone derides them for being worn by rich people

i love the crested blazers.. haven't been able to find one that fits me though...

state crest would be cool, i like this version better than the flag..

unfortunately MD or DC version would make one look like a security guard, i'm pretty sure

not to confirm stereotypes or anything, but last dude i saw wearing a crested blazer seemed to be after a Terry-Benedict-in-Ralph-Lauren look while marshaling his suburban-grandma-styled wife and njguido.com son through grand central on a holiday weekend

i still want to wear headbands.

don't we all

I need to find a cheap thrift blazer I can crest asap

i like the idea of using an iron-on embroidered patch of some band as the crest but it would have to be something unexpected, i don't think anyone wants to be all HI DERE ZOSO and dress like jack black in school of rock tbh.

I have a hand-cross stitched Gerty Farish patch somewhere, with a ladybug on it and "GF" embroidered in lavender floss. It's pretty funny, no idea where it orig came from.

make a patch out of this -->

In one of the episodes where Jenny is grounded, Rufus is wearing some kind of collarless shirt. It looks really bad on him (it makes him look like a priest), but I can't help but think I'd look good in it. I need advice. (I'm gonna try to dig up a picture.)

Like... in black?

if you are an inmate or live in a concentration camp, that look is hottt!

the term is "band collar"

...Or Amish.

-serena's grecian look at the white party, so gorgeous
-chuck's tux/ascot thing. Chuck pretty much killing it all episode style-wise
-everyone else looked retarded

Blair, too laura ashley with the florals hun. And was her white party dress made of doilies? She still managed to look adorable thanks to having a headband for every occasion

even the barette + headband combo? mostly she looked adorable becuz it was leighten imo

the only one that looked straight retarded was eric and that dude always looks a little palsy... maybe the haircut? or just bad acting. oh and nate dressed like the dad in a charmin commercial at the party was lulz

what is with eric's less than zero hair?

i thought serena's grecian look was obvious and boring, but then i kind of hate her. most of the women's clothes were lousy, really. jenny's creation was a variation on the doily theme, as well. not surprised her witchy boss refused to wear it.

i usually think serena is boring and kind of whiny, but i loved her headpiece/updo with the curls spilling out so much.

Thousand words, picture, etc. C'mon, kids, help a non-tv-having sister out.

Wow that's doing nothing but making her breasts look like sewn-on softballs.

(Thanks, Lauren!)

what?

i really liked blair's outfit when she was riding bikes in the hamptons.

i have a feeling sunny would rock far right chicks outfit in a heatbeat

i dont know deez. im not sure how wise it is to wear a dress that makes your middle section look gigantic and your chest really tiny.

i wanna rock far left dress but it would look like a sack

i love the black/silver dress. that pink thing is an abomination. momsen got picked up by IMG, btw. a bunch of test shots are on fashionista.

i have to wonder, if jenny is so fashion why does she dress like she's special needs??

seriously. that dress she was wearing was horrifying.
