Season 3 of Gossip Girl started off a little rocky. With all the characters off in college, I felt the concept of the show becoming a bit blurry and the OMG factor just wasn’t there anymore. But before the holidays, the season just got good for me…and now, we’re being kept on our toes till March!

One of my top reasons for still keeping up with all the drama on the Upper East Side is Serena van der Woodsen’s style. Having put off Brown for one year, Serena is spending her time “finding” herself and trying out a new career in public relations. Her wardrobe this season says exactly that.

Case in point:

Tight fitting clothes and longer hemlines with a dash of accessories

Serena’s unique look, which is probably the reason why we all fell in love with her in the first place, still consumes her character but it’s just gone up a notch. Gone are the days when she paraded down the streets of New York in cute vintage dresses and over the top uniforms. Now we see her in more sophisticated Upper East Side attire, ready to take the corporate world head on.

Here are some of my favourite Serena looks of the season.

I went to lunch the other day and got rave reviews on the way I looked so I thought I would share my little secret. I was wearing something very similar to this in black. This past Fall, we saw a huge come back of headbands and other head accessories, thanks to characters like Blair Waldorf. It’s such a great accessory to make your outfit pop.

Here are some great ones…

For a more elegant look, try…

For a more dramatic look, I Love Factory is definitely the way to go. The brand pays homage to the lost art of millinery and has some great pieces in their collections. They’re also the masterminds behind this look that Little J rocked on this season’s Gossip Girl.

For a more subtle look, try smaller pieces like these…

To gear up for the Spring, try a more bohemian look with some of these…

Glittering, Glamourous Gossip Girls

It’s been a year since the mischievous scenes of Gossip Girl have started appearing on our TVs. While many tune in to indulge in the glamourous lives of the Upper East Siders, follow the wild parties and applaud the wicked plots, there are some that watch it more so for the fashion. From the established, high-end names of Gucci and Chanel to the neo-contemporary ones such as Alice+Olivia, Alexander Wang and Tory Burch, designer names pop up in almost every scene!

In the Season two premiere, Blair is spotted at the “White Party” in the Hamptons wearing a Marc by Marc Jacobs Spring/Summer 2008 Dress while Serena graces audiences with a white Oscar de la Renta Spring/Summer 2008 gown. Of course, both dresses are sold out at every major retailer!

Episode after episode, fans of the show race to find out what the cast was wearing from CW’s official site and if that doesn’t provide them with the answers they are looking for, they turn to the hundreds of blogs out there dedicated to the show. This trend, most probably started by Sex and the City’s GOD, Patricia Field, is being followed by many shows in hopes to capture a wider, more loyal audience. The fashion on these shows become just as big a part of the show as the characters do. Looks like the tents aren’t the only place for designers to showcase their talents!
