NEXT: Gossip Girl’s The Hurt Locket
Gossip Girl returns to TV tonight… woo hoo? Sadly, I’m beginning to like reading the Daily Intel’s reality index the next morning, more than I enjoy watching the show. Actually, there is one thing I’m looking forward to. My 3.1 Phillip Lim coat makes a cameo appearance tonight!
.
.
.
I bought this coat from Barneys way back in October. So, I’m actually a bit confused as to why it’s going to be on tonight’s episode. Aren’t people supposed to plan these things out? Shouldn’t a product get media attention while it’s still available? Maybe Phillip Lim doesn’t care.
.
.
Leaving with some past Daily Intel quotes:
-Constance Girl 3: “My family’s in investment banking; we’re all broke.” Jenny: “Then you can go.” Plus 2.
-Rufus and Dan wear matching outfits even if they’re not wearing plaid. Plus 5, with an additional plus 2 for the Ikea Gilbert chairs in the Dumbo loft, because that is real real.
-We thought Chuck’s double-breasted military thing with the wire boutonniere was heinous until we realized it was Thom Brown. Which made it perfect. Plus 3.
.
And finally, I am so excited to have the excuse to use this gif…
-Not only would Dan not have a mini-PC, but he also wouldn’t type on it on the street like a blind person. Seriously, him at that laptop is like an original Star Trek outtake. Minus 2.
.
Strangest thing The CW has aired. Ever.

The past two days, I haven’t written as often as usual because I’m “away.” I don’t always have internet access where I am, so things will be back to normal Tuesday.
For now, I leave you with the final Terry Richardson photo, eight of eight for TR week. Blake Lively and Leighton Meester shot by Terry Richardson for Rolling Stone Magazine (an outtake).

LOVE: Lorick Fall 2010
I literally ran out of the Lela Rose show this morning to make it to Lorick’s presentation at the Union Square Ballroom. So glad I made it, otherwise I would have missed a seriously cool event. When I first walked in I saw this:
.
.
It’s the white backdrop the models are lined up against to have their photos taken. It created a very cool silhouette on the opposite side. As I made my way to the front, I passed a bar. Yes, a bar serving drinks at 11:00 in the the morning. A photographer then asked me to pose for a photo & of course I obliged. And of course it was awkward.
.
.
Finally, I reached the models & took some pictures:

These were my “Top Four” looks from the Lorick Fall 2010 collection:

.
I wonder if Blair Waldorf will wear one of these on Gossip Girl

TREND: From Blonde to Sacré Bleu – Tavi Gevinson’s Blue Hair
Style Rookie’s Tavi Gevinson recently dyed her hair blue. Supposedly the inspiration for this drastic change came from Dazed fashion editor, Katie Shillingford, who has platinum blonde hair with navy tips.
.
I think Katie’s hair is interesting. Definitely not something I’ll try today, but she pulls it off. Tavi, on the other hand looks better with her natural hair color. Although, who knows, maybe her new shade will grow on me.
.
^Tavi
.
^Katie Shillingford
.
I don’t want to go overboard here, but it’s possible that blue hair will become a trend. Not only does an influential fashion blogger have blue hair, but it was also shown at the Chanel Couture show:
.
.
.
I like the Chanel version – It’s more subtle than Tavi’s & Katie’s hair.
.
.
.
And just for fun… a mini retrospective of blue dos:
^Marc Jacobs
.
^Kate Hudson. Ok who else thinks she looks like Jessica Szohr?
.
^Kirsten Dunst
.
^Queen of all media, Perez Hilton
.
^Linda Evangelista
.
.
So, would you ever go blue?
.
.
And is it just me, or does Tavi look just a little like Andy Warhol (love) here?

Time for a Paris Couture ’10 post! For the most part I was underwhelmed by what I saw… but here are a few things worth mentioning:

Armani Privé’s collection had a definite cosmic theme. A few pieces were beautiful & fresh. Unfortunately, at times all I could think was “Sailor Moon, is that you?” Not going to lie, it upsets me that I even know who Sailor Moon is.

One of the Givenchy looks had me thinking about the Green Lantern movie that starts filming soon.

And this Chanel look instantly reminded me of the white cape Blair wore in Gossip Girl (The Ex-Files).

What was your favorite collection this week? Valentino, Gaultier, Chanel, Adeline Andre?

WANT: Gossip Girl Spade Necklace
For the past few years I’ve wanted an Alex Woo necklace. I thought the letter pendants were a great alternative to the Sex and the City nameplate necklaces everyone was wearing at the time. Since then, Alex Woo has come out with new collections ranging in design from numbers to symbols.
.
Predictably, I was most interested in the Little Vegas collection. I spotted Jenny Humphrey wearing the gold Little Vegas Spade necklace in the Dan de Fleurette episode this season.

Also, in an earlier episode, Blair wore Alex Woo’s Little Big Vegas Spade in white gold & diamonds. This makes sense because the suit of spades is often times the most powerful suit in a deck of cards. If you follow Gossip Girl, it should make sense that J and B wear necklaces that connote power. Blair was the “Queen of Constance” last year & Jenny has since taken her place.
.
.
It is fitting then, that Blair’s necklace is a bit bigger and brighter than Jenny’s. After all, she was the original ruler of the school & Jenny was merely a wannabe just a few episodes ago.

.
Here’s another funny Alex Woo spotting on Gossip Girl. Jenny’s three minions wear Little Number necklaces 1, 2, and 3 in silver. Not only is it completely degrading to be referred to as a number, but their necklaces are made of silver. Silver is nice but it doesn’t compare to Jenny’s gold or Blair’s diamonds. The necklaces definitely say a lot about their personalities (or lack there of).

Oh, Little J, how you’ve changed. Just a few seasons ago you were parading about the Met steps in a bright yellow trench.

LOVE: Kate Moss + Serena van der Woodsen
So, if you haven’t already heard- Kate Moss is engaged to Jamie Hince. Thus, I have an excuse to write a somewhat relevant post about her style.
.
The Kate Moss craze never really went away since she first started modeling in the 90s. Most women are fascinated with her style and would name her as one of their “style icons.”
.

.
So what is it about her that so many people wish to emulate? Sure, there are a few key pieces like skinny jeans, ballet flats, and “it bags” in neutral colors & leopard print that Moss tends to favor. That’s fairly easy to mimic.
.

^Typical Kate Moss awesomeness
.
But there is also something else. There’s something about her tendency to look beautiful whilst disheveled that is intriguing & more difficult to successfully pull off. Below is a photo of Moss arriving at an event in a vintage Christian Dior gown:
Credit: picapp.com
.
Later that night, she was photographed leaving looking completely different. Her hair was a mess and her dress…her vintage Christian Dior dress…was completely ruined. Except it wasn’t really ruined, the rip was somehow an improvement on the original:

Eric Damon, costume designer for Gossip Girl, has based the style of Serena van der Woodsen on Moss in an attempt to create that je ne sais quoi quality.

I have to say though… I sort of prefer the young Kate Moss. I didn’t even realize how different she looks now until I saw this old photo of her:

^THE definition of gorgeous
.
.
Also on a side note, I like her style much more when she was with Pete Dogherty. Now she’s starting to put more effort into what she wears & has been adding more color… Oh well

P.S. how annoying would that be to wear around your eye. It looks awesome but damn if you need to touch your eye or something…

NEXT: Gossip Girl Beanie
Michael C. Hall won a Golden Globe for best actor in a drama series for Dexter this weekend. “It’s nice to have a justifiable excuse for accessorizing,” he said of the hat he wore to the ceremony.
.
What was that excuse? Cancer. Who screwed up? The New York Times. How? They made fun of his hat via tweet (not knowing he had cancer).
.

.
.
But do not fret, Michael C. Hall. For, the beanie, skull cap, hat, whatever you want to call it, is coming back into style.
You see, Señor Hall is way ahead of everyone. Take a look at these photos from the set of Gossip Girl. Taylor, Blake & Chace are all going to be wearing caps in future episodes that have not yet aired & were taped just this month.
