Leighton Meester on set of Gossip Girl S5.

Fresh look for the fresh season.
Spotted: Leighton Meester looking bright in a gorgeous outfit typical of her Upper East Side it-girl alter ego, Blair Waldorf. Looking polished and well put together as ever, every inch of her look screams "city girl". 

"Blair" is wearing a yellow blouse by Peter Som and a Stella McCartney skirt. Her pumps are by Brian Atwood and the cute orange tote bag is by Riki Rosetta:

Katie Cassidy on the set of Gossip Girl

Daytime on the Upper East Side

Say hello to one of the newest additions to the Gossip Girl cast. Katie Cassidy will be joining the show in season 4 as Juliet Sharp, Nate's new girlfriend and a Columbia University student. Juliet has already made her mark in Manhattan with this lovely high-end, high-fashion outfit.

Juliet is wearing a dress by Yigal Azrouel. This dress is so typical Upper East Side. I can see Blair wearing something just like it. What I love about it is the nude colour, the bodycon shape, and the cute ruffled detail on the side.

As well as the dress, Juliet is wearing a Carlos Falchi handbag and a great pair of Dolce & Gabbana leopard print heels.

Hanna Marin's homecoming look

Queen Bee glamour on Pretty Little Liars

Ever since I saw promo pictures before it aired, I've been in love with Hanna Marin's look from the Homecoming episode of Pretty Little Liars (1.6 There's No Place Like Homecoming).

Hanna (played by Ashley Benson)'s outfit was by far my favourite of the four girls. She looked fabulous from head to toe, matching a stunning one-of-a-kind dress with the perfect accessories. The dress, which is by Sue Wong, consisted of "a ruched, daring V-neckline. Tonal beads and sequins sparkle at the shoulders and contoured Empire waist" with "wispy ostrich feathers [gracing] the tiered skirt". Have you ever seen anything like it?

The look was made even more glamourous with Hanna's choice of bold statement accessories. Such a loud, extravagant dress would usually call for a subtler choice, but Hanna rejected that idea completely, opting for a look more worthy of a Homecoming queen.

The layered necklace is eye-catching and adds more style to the outfit, matching perfectly with the colour of her dress. I especially love the earrings, a diamond-shaped dropping pair, which finish of the look perfectly. Here are some high street alternatives I found (which match the purple version of the dress, the only one available):

Miss Selfridge's Jenny Humphrey inspired dresses

Fashion for the Upper East Side rebel

Jenny Humphrey is known for her bold, daring and ever-changing style on Gossip Girl and she has certainly evolved the most over the three seasons. Recently, UK high street store Miss Selfridge teamed up with the show to create an 8-piece Gossip Girl inspired fashion line, and I think the "Jenny" dresses are definitely worth blogging about.

Personally, I don't think the other dresses (inspired by Serena van der Woodsen, Blair Waldorf and Vanessa Abrams) reflect the characters' fashion sense at all, but as soon as I saw the "Jenny" dresses (pictured below) they reminded me of her, and that was before I even knew about the line! The two dresses are a great example of how varied Jenny's style is. Her choices can never be predicted, but always reflect her personality and state of mind at the time.

To the left we have a cute little floral number (the perfect alternative to an LBD) which represents the girly side to Jenny and to the right, a casual but dark and grungy look to represent her more laid-back and artistic nature.

Blair Waldorf's standout brocade dress

Evening dress fit for day

It's been a while since I've done a Gossip Girl related post. The fashion on the show is incredible, and Season 3 wasn't an exception. Pictured above is Blair Waldorf (played by Leighton Meester) wearing a beautiful Burberry brocade dress.

The funny thing about this dress is that most people (including me) would consider it to be an evening dress for special occasions only. However, on Blair it doesn't look out of place at all. It is something she would typically wear for a day out in Manhattan with Serena van der Woodsen.

Here are two (wallet-friendly) dresses I found, one of a similar design pattern and the other of a similar shape:

NB: Blair's brooch is by Alexis Bittar.

Hanna Marin (Pretty Little Liars) makeup tutorial

Makeup of a Queen Bee

I was watching Pretty Little Liars this morning and found myself really liking Hanna's makeup. So I played around with some of my own to try and recreate the look and here is a tutorial on how to do it!

1. First prepare your face using your own personal facial routine. That can be using moisturiser, primer, foundation etc - whatever you usually wear.

2. For the eyes, take any light brown/nude eyeshadow (preferably a cream eyeshadow or one with a matte finish) and apply/blend it just on the lid.

3. Then take a black eyeliner (I used No7 Amazing Eyes Pencil in colour 05 Black) and apply a thick layer on the upper lash line. For the lower lash line, apply a thin but intense line. For mascara, I used Covergirl's Lashblast in Very Black.

4. For the face, apply an orange-brown blush or bronzer all the way across the cheeks. I used the Delice de Poudre Bronzing Powder by Bourjois in the colour 52. Make sure to pack on the bronzer, and then buff it in afterwards.

5. For the lips take any bright pink lipgloss and for this I used the No7 Liplicious in the colour Cherry Kiss.

There you have it! I'd say this look is more for special occasions or events, but makeup is a question of preference, so use it as you like. I hope it helped, and thanks for reading.

Fashion preview: Pretty Little Liars

New show, new fashions!

Tonight is the series premiere of ABC Family's new TV series Pretty Little Liars. To celebrate the release of the show, I decided to do a fashion post dedicated to it! To find out what it's all about click here.

Now, I don't know about you guys, but to me, Pretty Little Liars just screams FASHION at the top of its lungs. I am very excited for this show, as not only does it sound very interesting, but I think it'll be rocking some killer clothes! To get the fashion 411 from the show, visit abcfamily.com now!

For a little teaser of what's to come on the show fashion-wise, here are some quotes* from the four main actors talking about the different styles of their characters:

"She's sort of all over the place, she's the quirkiest one and puts mismatched pieces together. She mixes vintage with modern...she wants people to think 'how did she put that together?' She's very creative."

- Lucy Hale, who plays Aria Montgomery.

"[For homecoming, she wears] a really pretty low-cut dress. A lot of beads, tonnes of jewellery, hair up, a lot of really pretty earrings. It's great, very Hanna."

- Ashley Benson, who plays Hanna Marin.

"Spencer is very classic but with a sexy edge. She's very Ralph Lauren, Hamptons...glamour, old-hollywood."

- Troian Bellisario, who plays Spencer Hastings.

"Emily's style is a little bit more sporty, athletic, functional and [can be] flirty...we have some denim skirts in her wardrobe...she keeps it a little more simple."

- Shay Mitchell, who plays Emily Fields.

So there you have it! My Pretty Little Liars fashion preview, in anticipation for the series premiere. Remember to watch the show tonight at 8/7c and let me know what you guys think!

*Quotes were taken from interviews conducted by the wonderful ClevverTV.

Serena van der Woodsen's statement boots

Miss van der Woodsen is back!
Blake Lively must love playing Upper East Side It Girl Serena van der Woodsen. Serena always makes a fashion statement whether it's at school, walking down the street, or at a high society event.

Blake is photographed on the set of Gossip Girl wearing a pair of Dolce Vita Marilyn boots. These boots are absolutely (as Perez Hilton would say) ferosh! What I love about Serena is that she is never afraid of taking risks when it comes to fashion, and pretty much all the time, that risk pays off.

So, if you're inspired by her confidence, then check out the boots here. You can choose from three different colours, and they're even on sale!

Elena Gilbert's famous leather jacket

KRMA Clothing
Anyone who watches The CW's "The Vampire Diaries" must have noticed Elena Gilbert's (played by Nina Dobrev) obsession with leather. The gorgeous leather jacket that can be seen worn by her at any given point in time and is definitely one of the biggest fashion trends right now. If that's not enough, the KRMA leather jackets have also been worn by other celebrities such as Pink, Alicia Keys & Audrina Patridge.

I personally think these jackets are super cute. They can be worn on casual outfits to create a rock-star look, or can even be paired with a flashy dress to add a fashion forward feel. Whatever your style, take your pick!

To check out these jackets and to buy one of your own, check out KRMA Clothing online. The jackets retail at around $600 (depending on the style).

Ricamo Shining Flower Tote as seen on Gossip Girl

A Valentino fit for a Queen

Do you remember the "Valentino 360" bag that Blair was drooling over in episode 8 of Gossip Girl season 3? Well, it is now available for all you fashion lovers to buy!

The Shining Flower Tux Tote by Valentino is absolutely gorgeous (my current personal favourite) but, comes with a hefty price tag. $4,495 from Neiman Marcus, and £2,825 from NET-A-PORTER.

I personally am in love with this handbag. It's absolutely stunning. Like a piece of artwork. My favourite girl things are handbags and so this to me is like the perfect item. Therefore, I consider it an investment:
