What's Your Gossip Girl Style?

In last week's issue of Grazia they had a feature on the style of each Gossip Girl from the series, their key pieces and A-List followers. I'm obviously not going to copy everything that was written but I shall give you an overview as I can't stop looking back at it.

Blair Waldorf: The Prim One. Blair is very sleek, neat and sophisticated with a lot of influence from the '50s. High-waisted skirts, peep-toe Louboutins, neckties and big hairbands are essential and famous followers feature Rachel Bilson.

Serena Van Der Woodsen: The Sexy One.

She is wearing low necklines and high hemlines, leather jackets, fishnet tight and statement necklaces. Chloe Sevigny is one of her famous style look-a-likes.

Jenny Humphrey: The Cool One.

Must be seen in beanies, plaid shirts and dresses, studded cuffs, black opaque tights to go with killer black boots. Alexa Chung has similar dress sense.

2008 has been quite a memorable year for me. There has been tears, bad times, awful moments, arguments and tensions. But there has been a lot of happiness for me. Smiles, laughter (a lot of laughter) and love, I guess. Most of all for this past year I would like to thank:

1. My family, for being there for me and teaching me how annoying little brothers can be


2. My fabulous and utterly amazing friends, for all the laughs, tears and hard times we have shared


3. My cat, for listening


4. Topshop, for helping me develop my own style


5. H&M, for your amazing designs in jeans, skirts and cardigans


6. Primark, for making me feel loved when I'm broke.


7. Stephenie Meyer, for introducing me into a whole new world of literature and hot guys


8. Grazia, for making me sound clever whenever I start talking about fashion


9. Kings of Leon. Wow! you have amazing music


10. Radiohead, for giving me a new anthem


11. Muse, for making Twilight fabulous


12. All of my amazing readers, for giving me beautiful feedback and flattering me more than I deserve. You all have such amazing blogs and are so inspirational, in style and personality.


13. Well, it would come out eventually. Thank you T G for showing me love at first sight. Thank you for showing me how much it hurts when boys have better things to do. And, of course, thank you for showing me how hard it is to move on.

Why So Much Woe...It's December?

I saw this skirt in Grazia and I was like wow! It is from Urban Outfitters at £38 which is not bad. Well...I was very happy to discover that it is now in the sale for £25 which is amazing so I was about to add it to my basket when it noticed that it was hand wash only. My mum would never hand wash it for me and I don't have time to. I am far too lazy as well.

I then moved onto option 2 which was this skirt priced at £38 as well and £20 in the sale. But it is hand wash only as well. It was starting to bug me but I looked at the other skirt I saw.

Priced at £42 but now £25, I don't like it very much and it is dry clean as well. That made a rather abrupt end to my Internet shopping marathon so I went and gloated my woes to my dad while eating his Norwegian chocolate. he came back yesterday from a business trip and I was missing our little random conversations!

Why can't shops just make nice skirts that you can shove in the washing machine? Is it too hard? We don't all have personal maids and butlers waiting on our hand and foot who will clean every piece of clothing by hand in the sink. When will they realise this. They better keep the same designs though!
