Style Profile: Chuck Bass

Chuck Bass, played by Ed Westwick, is a fashion risk-taking member of the Upper East Side social elite.  He often wears flamboyant outfits, including bright colors, bow ties, argyle and suits.  We love his crazy personal style because it always keeps us entertained!



This past season on Gossip Girl, Chuck has been channeling Gordon Gekko from 'Wall Street.'  He wears french cuff shirts with white collars, suspenders and slacks.  To dress like Chuck: don't be afraid of bright colors!  Orange, purple, red and blue are all favorites of Chucks.  Other key pieces in Chuck's wardrobe: trench coats, three piece suits and fun accessories like scarves, bow ties and suspenders.

Chic and Cheap Finds: Headbands

We've been fans of headbands ever since we saw Blair Waldorf wearing her first one on Gossip Girl! We also just love Blair's style in general! So grab a luxe headband at Forever 21 for LESS-than-luxe prices!!

Anna Sui for Target: Gossip Girl Inspired

The first photos of Anna Sui's line for Target has surfaced. They are all based on the characters of the hit show "Gossip Girl." The photos seen above are based on the character "Jenny." Jenny and Vanessa inspired duds seem to be my favorite. (Vanessa pictured below). From what i've seen, Serena's fell very flat and Blair's were not bad, but somewhat out of character.


Would love to get our Culturista paws on Vanessa's scrunchy brown boots!

The line will be in stores and online September 13 through October 17. To see more photos of the collection, click here: NYMAG

Gossip Girl: Now representing the hipster front?

As an avid watcher of Gossip Girl, I will be the first to say that I am a huge fan of Eric Daman's ultra creative spin on the Upper Eastsider school uniform. He infuses colorful tights and various edgy accessories and hatwear with a keen attention to detail. The final outcome is that each character's school uniform appears completely unique and in sync with their personality.

The plot in Gossip Girl has played up the Manhattan vs. Brooklyn rivalry which it is now reflective in the styling and choices of clothing. This is most apparent in last week's episode "Pret-a-Poor-J" with Jenny Humphrey who is the newest talk of the town. The title in itself is a witty play on the French-esque food chain "Pret-a-Manger" found on several Manhattan corners. This season, "lil J" has truly come into her own as the former prepster turns into a high school drop out/aspiring fashion designer. In this particular episode, she trades in her layered locks for an ultra choppy and edgy coif and trades in her her plaid blazer for a biker-chic leather jacket.

Check out little Ms. Prepster Vs. the new little Ms. Hipster

The new Jenny drinks PBR at dive bars, takes faux artsy pictures which will inevitably end up on myspace, reads Nylon and Paper, and toys with the idea of starting her own clothing line.

Well Little J, looks like someone is on the fast track to Williamsburg and all we can do is sit tight and wait for the next episode.

In Need of Good Gossip

Besides the deliciously dishy plot lines and plethora of eye candy for teenagers and 20's somethings alike, Gossip Girl bleeds gorgeous fashion like it was dying of stab wounds. IT IS the new 'Sex and The City' for your fashion cravings. Patricia Fields watch out---we have a new style guru in town: Eric Daman (whom coincidentally was the assistant designer on S.A.T.C)I love Daman's twist on the school uniform--- although not quite realistic - it is almost fantastical and always stylish. Which brings me to my next point: knee high socks. I love them---but of course it can be tricky to pull off the look in every day life--





These cute grey patterned socks looks great-- and you can find them at places like Forever 21 and the like:


So for now I will be experimenting with knee high socks to figure out what can translate into reality the best. To find out how to dress like the cast go to : The Gossip Girl Website on Style
