Celebrity stylists must be loving half gloves lately because they’ve been showing up on TV’s most fashionable characters.  Carrie Bradshaw was wearing a pair on The Sex and the City Movie and Jenny Humphrey wore a pair to the cotillion on a recent episode of Gossip Girl.
Half gloves are a funny little accessory because they are purely fashion and no function.  I think of half gloves as the functionless other half of the very useful fingerless gloves!  The tiny gloves stop right at the bottom of the fingers, which leaves the palm and back of the hand completely open. They …read more

Having a great jacket makes everything better all winter long. Seriously, how much does it suck to have to wear a warm jacket that you hate for four months? It happens really easily, too, because leather looks great but isn’t actually that warm, and warm, practical coats almost always look really practical in a too-grown-up-for-me kind of way. Well, not this one. Check it.
This is really dope AND practical. It’s made of a combination of wool and angora that’s bound to be soft and cuddly, and lined in tie-dyed silk. It combines moto jacket styling with a utilitarian length and …read more

If you’re a fan of the hit show Gossip Girl you might have noticed the wonderful array of fashion forward styles of all the characters. In this week’s episode (The Grandfather: Part II), the always put together, prim and proper Blair Waldorf (played by actress/singer Leighton Meester) was spotted walking down her dorm’s hallway wearing a pair of these Alexandre Birman shoes.
Now I don’t have you tell you how trendy and “of the moment” these shoes are, right? Usually, if you see a pair of shoes, a handbag, clothing item and any other accessory on Gossip Girl, you can be …read more

I have more gorgeous headbands to share with you!  If you love hair accessories, then this is definitely the year for you because creative designers are popping up everywhere with fabulous new headband lines.
New York Nat is an accessories line started by dancer and former Miss America contestant Natalie Ann Griffith.  Her handband designs are girly and bold with pink velvet bows, intricately beaded appliques, and lime tulle.  I really love each piece because it is unique and incorporates the ideas of drama and elegance from the designer’s dancing background.
New York Nat Ellis Island $98
Natalie is currenting hosting an amazing …read more

Leighton Meester wore the most gorgeous grecian Bottega Veneta gown to the Emmy’s last night, and I happen to think that it would be the perfect wedding dress. I saw her earlier on someone’s worst-dressed list, but that someone shall remain nameless, because a)I’m against the whole idea of worst-dressed lists, it’s just not nice, and 2)you can’t hate her because she’s the queen B! Check out her gorgeous gown:
I am completely mad for the puffy, drapey shoulders, the soft edges, and the detail around the waist. She looks so drop dead sexy and elegant at the same time that …read more

If you haven’t been by your local Target, you should go now! Why? Well, fabulously talented designer Anna Sui has created a line exclusively for Target based on her favourite (and mine too!) show Gossip Girl. If you’re a fan of the show, you’ll notice the clothing line consists of styles that are inspired by the characters on the show – Serena, Blair, Jenny and Vanessa.
I went over to my local Target today and browsed through the collection. Here are a few of my favourites from the line, based on what I saw up close and personal.

Lace Halter Dress ($69.99) …read more

The new season of CW’s hit show, Gossip Girl premieres tonight and I couldn’t be more excited. I’m a big fan of the show not only for the crazy drama-filled episodes, but for the fabulous clothing, shoes and accessories the characters are privileged to wear.
Whenever I watch the show (and I DVR it too!), I keep and eye out on the handbags the girls are carrying. Some of the handbags I’ve purchased over the last year has been due to seeing it (and falling in love with it) on the show.
So if you’re a handbag fanatic like myself, watch closely …read more

I love all of Eugenia Kim’s hats and hair accessories, but unfortunately I usually can’t afford them.  You can check out her collaboration with Urban Outfitters for lower-priced pieces or get the real deal on sale.  I recently spotted her gorgeous Hailey Headband on sale at Shopbop!
Eugenia Kim Hailey Headband in Coral $49.50 (reg. $99)
I have been eyeing this knotted silk headband since I first spotted a similar style on Gossip Girl last season.  It has multiple soft strands gathered and braided to create a beautiful piece in coral.  There is a thick elastic band at the bottom for a …read more

As previously discussed, one of the top trends for fall is the Tough Rocker Chic vibe. If you’re a fan of the show Gossip Girl, you’ll recognize Taylor Momsen, who plays Jenny Humphrey (aka Lil’ J), below.  On August 4th, Taylor was spotted walking to the set looking quite chic and edgy. By the way, I’m loving her hair this season, definitely an upgrade!
I don’t know about you but the first thing I noticed when I saw this photo is her handbag.  Taylor Momsen is carrying the new Be & D Garbo Satchel ($1390) in black and …read more

Jennifer Behr is one of the genius hair accessories designers who is responsible for the gorgeous pieces that Blair Waldorf wears on Gossip Girl.  She has really re-invented the headband by creating unique pieces that look sophisticated and stylish.
I would love to post about Jennifer Behr’s absolutely beautiful handmade headbands everyday, but at around $200 per piece I realize that unless you have the wealth of a character on Gossip Girl, you probably won’t be stocking up on these.  These hair accessories are definitely designed to be paired with elegant outfits for special occasions.
Solid Jet Black Padded Headband $220
