On the Set of Gossip Girl Season 4


Here are a few new looks from the upcoming season of Gossip Girl:

Leighton Meester & Blake Lively filming in Paris. I love the shoes and denim blazer that Blake is wearing. So chic and well put together! Don't know if I can say the same about Leighton's outfit though...


Blake Lively filming in New York City. Blake's character, Serena, is bang on trend in another denim blazer and striped top.


Leighton Meester filming in Paris. The purple dress is gorgeous and so is the matching clutch.


Blake Lively filming in New York City. The colors of this ensemble are so pretty and I love the bag!


Katie Cassidy, who is to guest star, filming with Chace Crawford in New York City. Katie is wearing a strapless gown from the Bibhu Mohapatra Fall 2009 Collection. This chiffon dress is quite elegant and although I like the matching purple clutch and pumps, I'm not crazy about the necklace she has on.

Flower Power

This summer, floral dresses have been all the rage! They were a popular spring trend, and although we are nearing the end of summer, there's still time to indulge your girly side with floral prints.


In floral dresses, I prefer a subtle print and loose fitting (see below left). I don't really fancy Melanie Slade's dress (below right) because the print is too bold and the contrast between the colors is too harsh. My advice is to avoid prints that resemble curtains or tablecloths.



Taylor Swift's mini dress is very flirty and summery. It's a perfect day look. However, to "toughen up" a young and fresh appearance, pair your floral dress with a boyfriend blazer (below right).


This navy dress (below left) is one of my favorites! I love how it is very versatile and I can wear it to go shopping or to a summer party! A way to "toughen up" this floral frock is to pair it with a leather jacket (below right). This gives it an edgy day-to-night look which I love.



This floral ensemble is another one of my faves because I like how the print is very busy and vibrant but the simplicity of the grey skirt balances it out.

Celebrity Fashion - Top 5 Favorite New Looks


5) I love every element of this glam Grecian ensemble. I adore the emerald green color of the gown as well as the way Shenae Grimes belted it. Finishing off with nude peep-toe Christian Louboutin's, she looks super stylish.

4) Spotted: Blake Lively flaunting her toned stomach in a blue Chanel dress with a transparent panel. I like how the shape of the dress is very simple but there are many details which make it stunning. Blake also wears a pair of nude platforms, and her legs look like they go on forever!

3) This dress is similar to pieces that I like to design. My favorite element of it is the ballet skirt as well as the detail and lace at the shoulder. Jessica Alba made a good choice of wearing red lipstick to match the belt. The red in the outfit and the lacy shoes make this elegant dress also very sexy.

2) Wearing a maxi dress with prints and flat gladiator sandals, Cat Deeley is precisely on trend. The neckline of the dress is very pretty and Cat's metallic accessories complemented the rest of her outfit very well.

1) The minute I saw this dress, I became obsessed with it. Jessica Alba looks remarkable in this summery Dior frock. The pink print is gorgeous and I love how the dress is both flirty and elegant. The braided metallic belt and white peep-toe Mary Janes add sophistication. I would like to design a dress similar to this so I am using it as inspiration!
