- Lace tights (Whitney Port designed a pair for her first collection)
- A fashionable watch
- Sequins, bows & lots of black!

Events: Fashion’s Night Out

nyfnoFor those of you that don’t know, Fashion’s Night Out is happening next week in New York City. The goal of Fashion’s Night Out is to help the economy by promoting both retail and fashion. On Thursday, September 10th, participating retailers all over New York will keep their doors open late.

Different events will be taking place throughout the night at participating retailers. Walk the red carpet at H&M, create your own custom handbag at Chanel or meet up with celebrities at Bergdorf Goodman. Most events will be held between the hours of 6pm and 11pm.

Fashion’s Night Out is not just being held in New York City. Fashion’s Night Out is a global celebration with events being held in Greece, Spain, Italy, France, United Kingdom, Russia, Brazil, Japan, Taiwan, Germany, India, China and Spain.

If you happen to be in New York City next Thursday night, I would highly suggest that you go. And if you happen to purchase a plane ticket for me to go too, I definitely wouldn’t complain.

How To: Dress Like Serena and Blair

gossipgirl1This Monday night on the CW, the Gossip Girl season finale airs. But I am not here to discuss what is to come on the finale, I am here to discuss Gossip Girl fashion. Gossip Girl has served as a fashion icon to young girls since it has first aired.

Every character on Gossip Girl has their own unique style. They even wear their uniforms differently. Standing out in uniforms? Now THAT’S fashion. On school days, Serena is known for her short plaid skirts and a white button up shirt with either pumps for knee high boots. For a more casual look, she will layer with a vest or sweater. Serena’s BFF Blair’s style seems much more put together. She prefers longer skirts, longer shirts and a bow tie. She finishes almost every outfit off with a headband. Her signature style headband has a big bow on one side.

When the girls aren’t in school, they still maintain their own unique fashion identity. Serena’s favorite item of cgossipgirl7lothing lately has been her chic leather jacket featured in many of the newest episodes. Blair loves wearing tights to make a statement. Whether its a solid color under a short skirt or lace tights under a cocktail dress, she always looks fabulous.

So how can you steal their sweet looks?

If you want to dress like Serena… You will want to find nice cut jackets, a plaid skirt, knee high socks, a leather jacket and boots. She loves layering items of clothing in order to get her rocker chic style.

If you want to dress like Blair…You will want to find cute summer dresses, headbands, leggings, stylish bag and a peacoat with a matching hat. She loves her accessories, especially when it comes to her hair. She usually likes to leave her brown locks down. By just adding her signature bow headband or a cute hat, her hair can match the rest of the outfit without much effort.
