Frozen

Watching Frozen, I instantly thought the Queen of the UES meets the Queen of Arendelle.

The hints of sparkle and shine make Blair looks like an absolute ice princess, reflective of the character's social standing and attitude. But at the same time, there is something tranquil about the colour blue that humanizes her. This Elie Saab ice blue gown was the perfect choice. Always a fan of patterned and translucent sleeves. The gown has a lovely layered pieces pattern on top and falls into a straight silhouette to highlight Leighton's frame, emphasized by the belted middle. A nice touch with the silver leaves headpiece, a royal touch.

S + B, they do besties better than anyone

An upbeat moment on the show that reminds you about the beauty of friendship, and fashion.

The lovely Upper East Siders are wearing Abigail Lorick Barlass, the ghost designer for Eleanor Waldorf. Each character's style pulls through even with the same dress. Serena has on a bright orange and bohemian laid back hair look. Blair had a classy up-do with her tranquil and sophisticated blue. Again, nude pumps go with pretty much everything. The dress is a simple design with the tight fit, knee length, and long sleeves. It is the backless back and bright, vibrant colours that make the design bold, fresh, and desirable.

Shine bright like Serena

Serena's style can be risqué, boho chic, and elegant. Sometimes an outfit encompasses all of those styles.

This Zahair Murad number covers it all. This is one those those fashion moments where you know the outfit could only be for this character and would just not work for the others. The short dress and low neckline adds a flirty risk for the character of Serena and just add to her length. Boho laid back feel comes from the gorgeous long, loose side train. Elegance is all in the intrinsic detail. I love the transparency of the arms and legs for that edge. The shade of metal grey is bold but allows for the eye to fixate on the detail of the dress.

Building blocks

I love blocks of colours. Both are at a similar cool tone and shine. Definitely want to try this. The blouse is Rachel Comey but I am having difficulty finding the skirt designer. I love the tightened ends just below the elbow. Love the jewel tones of teal and plum purple. This outfit is laid back, yet with understated elegance.

Maraschino cherry please

Gossip Girl meets France. And macarons.

While my friend was on an exchange to Paris, she told me that no one leaves the house without looking fresh off the runway. (Not going to lie, I like wearing my sweats for those quick errands.) Fancy schmancy.

Bright and colourful for summer. Love the white top contrasted with the black skirt. They each have - wish I had a better word - a poofed up look. They seem like conflicting pieces but it all works wonderfully. The cherries give a sweet and sultry vibe. The pattern of pinks and teals work with the black. It all comes together with a colourful waist line and platform sandals for a beautiful summer day.

Waldorfing

The character of Blair has always been my favourite on Gossip Girl. Leighton Meester played her perfectly. And her fashion: love it. Serena's is a bit to out there for me at times, but regardless she always rocks it. This blog is fantastic - showcases all the amazing styles of Blair. Of course I don't want to rip off any bloggers' ideas, so like my royal posts, I will pick some of my favourite GG fashion moments. You never know, may throw in other TV fashion moments.
