Everything French and Fabulous

Apologies for the long delays between posts but I have been tres ill and blogging has been put on a hold. But Gossip Girl started last week and how we have been rewarded. Mon amour (plural) Blake Serena Lively and Leighton Blair Meester have not disappointed. And lookie at this picture. How very Hollywood and Mad Men like! Love love Lively. Same for her scorching red appearance at the premiere of The Town in Chanel Haute Couture. Ahh French bliss!

The Girl in the Green Dress

Ahh yes, Gossip Girl. Its been some days since we have had a Gossip Girl sighting and here is the shining light of the series Ms Blake Lively/Serena van der Woodsen in an emerald green Haute Hippie fall 2010 dress while shooting for Gossip Girl in Paris. I am not a fan of ruffles but I like the color of the dress. Also the hemline seems to be a bit skewed for my liking. Not my favorite look though.

Good Times

Jessica Alba seems to be having a winning streak in fashion right now. Here are some of her recent looks:

Alba at the Berlin Fashion Week Hugo Boss Black show in a form fitting cotton sundress. The white dress she wore to the Chanel haute couture show ran the risk of being too similar to this but then you see this is a lighter shade and this look is more casual as to the dress which we saw here.

I am not a fan of ruffled shoulders but when done right, they look impeccable. Alba looks stunning in a crimson Valentino chiffon gown which she wore to the Valentino Garavani Archives dinner in Versailles. 

Of LBDs and LWDs

It's Paris again and its the Chanel haute couture show. Two different ladies, two different looks yet both look amazing. Leighton Meester/Blair Waldorf graced the show in an embellished leather dress from Chanel's pre-fall collection and Louboutin booties. Jessica Alba who continues to have one good sartorial day after the other, looked oh so delicate in a LWD from the brand with a cherry red belt and the Louboutin lace booties just add the edge to an otherwise predictable red pump route.

Another day, Same Paris!

I continue my Gossip Girl streak by posting some new pictures. As the seasons have passed, Blair and Serena have developed individual distinct styles which have become more prominent now. And now that they are in Paris, their style has taken to a different level. Just look at Serena/Blake Lively in the picture. The unique color, the sheer playfulness of the outfit, the irreverence, you know that is what Serena would wear.  While if you scroll down, Blair/Leighton is all dolled up in colorful and clashing Moschino prints. The beret adds the French touch that we know Blair approves of. Headgear is a favorite of Blair as displayed by her head bands. It is essential in every series/film/novel for each character to have its personal style, be it verbal or visual.

Summer Days

Its still summer here and the weather keeps getting better. Look, who's having a blast in summer. Blake Lively is in Paris, shooting for Gossip Girl. I can not stress how much I miss it. And Ms. Lively looks like such a doll. Okay, I shall be honest, I am very partial towards the Gossip Girl gang but the white dress, her faint tan and her unique pose does make it an appealing picture. Plus, how can she carry off that thing on her head with such panache. Only Ms Lively can make me hate straight set hair. I want gorgeous messy blonde locks!! And she is sitting next to Anna Wintour btw, we have moved on to the biggies, peeps!
