Get the Look: Gossip Girl, Blair Waldorf (season 2)

I love this look that Blair is rocking during season 2 of Gossip Girl. It is a bit more casual than the typical outfits that we usually see on Blair. Even though this isn’t standard Blair attire it is still very “put together” in that Waldorf way.

If you want to get the look shop my list below. My favorite combination out of the six choices that I have laid out here is the Anna Sui ombre top, Anlo royal blue shorts, the Cole Haan green tote bag, with the Eugenia Kim headband.

Such a killer look! I might have to borrow this look from Blair really soon. See more of my Gossip Girl Fashion: Blair Waldorf list at ThisNext.

Season 2 Gossip Girl Fashions Spoilers: Blair Waldorf

Here are some Gossip Girl season 2 fashion spoilers for you! Photos courtesy of The TV Addict, check them all out on their awesome site. Don’t forget, season 2 starts September 1st on the CW.

Marc by Marc Jacobs Joelle Dress

This cute little white dress by Marc Jacobs looks absolutely amazing on Blair Waldorf (Leighton Meester). Blair will be wearing this little white dress during season 2 of Gossip Girl. She pulls the look off with killer white heels and her signature Blair headband.

Buy this dress now (hurry its on sale) at ShopBop.com for $329.60

Alice + Olivia Garden Party Dress

Blair will be sporting this awesome spring dress next season on Gossip Girl. I love this dress because it looks like it was plucked straight from the 1950’s when it is actually a dress from Alice + Olivia. The nipped in waist is super-flattering and the short length makes it a little bit sexy … In that naughty housewife kind of way.

Buy this Alice + Olivia dress at ChickDowntown.com (love that site) while its still in stock !

Do you believe in MAGIC?


I sure damn do!

I am going to be at the MAGIC Marketplace convention in Las Vegas August 25-27th. For those of you who don’t know what MAGIC is:

The MAGIC Marketplace is the preeminent trade event in the international fashion industry, hosting global buyers and sellers of men’s, women’s and children’s apparel, footwear, accessories and sourcing resources. As an incubator of fashion, MAGIC is where new trends surface and develop into what will be seen on the consumer. The show’s goal is to connect and inspire the fashion community, fuse diverse trends, while offering unbeatable service to its customers.

Obviously I am beyond excited. I am going to be meeting with great labels, schmoozing with the fabulous and fashionable, heading out to parties, and sitting in on some great seminars. I already have my eye on the following seminars…

  • Influences, style & design for Fall 09/ Winter 10: How it applies & relates to fashion trends
  • Color & surface forecast: Fall 09/ Winter 10
  • What’s Next for spring 2009 and forward- women trend forecast
  • TOBE Next Fall 2009-10 Womens themes, colors, key items
  • Intelligent Futurist: Winter 09/10 fashion trend forecast for Europe
  • Megatrend forecast
  • Youth/ street/ sport global trends

And since I will be in Vegas I am sure I will be able to find some time to go shopping and gamble. Sure, I don’t gamble (I don’t even know how) but I do love the idea of sitting around a craps table, dressed all fabulously in Betsey Johnson, while blowing on the hand (that sounds dirty) of someone who is about to make a fortune and give me half. Can’t a Kitty dream?

If you are going to MAGIC drop me an email so we can meet up.

I lost my mind at the Betsey Johnson party

I know three Betsey posts in a row is a bit much but, whatever, it’s her 30th Anniversary and she is my most favorite designer on the planet so blah! I will promise that this will be the final installment of this fun retail mini-series. Part 1 being the announcement, part 2 being the excitement and part 3 will be the big event …

I just got home from the 30th Anniversary party/ shopping excursion and boy did I have a swell time. As soon as I walked in, there was a huge display front and center with all of the anniversary products. I immediately scooped up 2 tees, 2 pairs of socks, and 2 cupcake thongs (hint, hint I will be giving away some of those products in an upcoming contest). There were also cupcakes, candy, and champagne … my three favorite “C”s. BUT they were off limits to me due to the Fashion Week Diet.

My favorite Betsey-girl was there to help me out. She hid my anniversary goodies behind the counter and started pulling pieces that she knew I would love. I tried on 6 dress, 2 tops, and 1 bad ass skirt. I was also sure to come out in everything to give the whole store a fashion show — my idea of a perfect Thursday afternoon.

I fell in love with the Battenberg Party Dress but didn’t buy it. I tried it on in blue /pink but what I really wanted was the black. Shame they didn’t have my size. I also fell in love (again) with this gingham jersey dress and almost got it until …

I tried on the crinoline (Avril is wearing it, try to ignore her).

Betsey loves putting crinolines under dresses but hasn’t sold them in her boutiques for some time. I snatched one up immediately and tried it on under the gingham dress, which was adorable. I even had some Fashion Kitty followers who tried on the same combination after they saw me. I also tried on the crinoline with a tank and the pink cropped anniversary skull sweater.

Just like my wink Betsey sweater, which fits like a dream, I know this anniversary sweater will be a perfect addition to my wardrobe.

Both pieces were rock solid so I took them to the check out. What did I end up buying?

Skull Intarsia Anniversary Cardigan - Betsey Johnson

– Black crinoline/ skirt
– Pink skull sweater
– Giant star hoop earrings
– Anniversary tee shirt
– Anniversary socks
– Anniversary cupcake thong
– White fishnet socks and white flowered socks
– “Legs” socks (one black pair, one white)

And as a bonus (since I spent a small fortune) I got a leopard print make up bag with a full sized Betsey perfume and a body lotion. An even bigger bonus was meeting one of my readers at the check out! It was totally random and awesome and I hope she enjoys her Tattoo Tube dress and bitchin’ pink sweater dress.

Dear Fashion Kitty, scarf tying how-to

Can you please explain how to ‘wear’ a scarf like this (you know, the way scarves are being worn now). Every time I try to wear it like this I look like I’m trying to strangle myself, or look like I’ve wrapped a bandanna around my neck?


That particular scarf is rectangular, so what I would is this …

1.) Drape is around your neck so the two long ends are hanging behind you
2.) Take the long ends, crisscross in the back then and drape them around the front
3.) Now that you have the form right, just play around with it — make it tighter, looser, etc …

Gees! That was hard to describe. You can also check out this site, which has a lot of scarf tying techniques.

Dear Fashion Kitty, autumn whites?

I totally love this Perlina Bag (link is below), but can you still rock a white bag in fall?

P.S. I think you’re blog is amazing!

Thanks for reading! I always love a question with a little Kitty love infused into it.

.. On to your question, can you wear this bag in the fall?

The answer is yes. Fashion rules are bullshit and I say go for it. I have been seeing a lot of white bags for fall this season, which tells me that it’s fine. If you are worried about looking too summery I would tie a scarf that has fall colors on the handle to bring it into this season. Or if you are funkier stop into a Tarina Tarantino and pick up some bag candy.

Dear Fashion Kitty, I need this skirt!

I need this skirt in my life…you’ve helped me before, so can you help me again?


Can I help? Of course I can! But seriously, I can’t believe how hard it is to find a camo skirt on the internet … there is like NOTHING out there. This one isn’t exactly like the one you are looking for but hopefully this might help you with your camo craving.

It’s a bit shorter but it’s also really cute. Camo skirt from Free People and is only $29.99 (was $78). Quite a deal!
