Company Cover Girl - Taylor Momsen




To further prove my point on the Gossip Girl craze I picked up Company magazine to find Taylor Momsen (who plays Jenny in the show). Reading the article I felt that she came across arrogant and cocky and definetaly not like GG Season 1's Little J, sugary and sweet.
"Have your fellow cast memebers, Blake and Leighton, given you any advice about handling the fame?"

"No they haven't. Honestly, I've been doing this since I was three so I've been doing it longer than a lot of them. It's a work enviroment, and we all get along fine, but I don't really hang out with them outside of set. There's no tension or anything, but it's a job so they're not my best friends."

"Do you fancy any of the boys?"
"No, and I'm not even looking at guys right now. I've got so much other stuff going on that it's not really important."


"But surely it's fun getting to kiss Chace [Crawford]?"
"I don't answer that. I always get that question."

Is it just me or does Taylor sound even more bitchy than Blair. It sounds like she has total disrespect for her castmates. In the interview she also revealed when she was nine she auditioned for Hannah Montana and said that she couldn't have stuck to the role if she got it anyway (sure we've heard that lame excuse before).

Fact - Taylor starred in the grinch as CindyLouWho she's come a long way since then but looks ike she still like the long hair (which I detest).








Or












There is now many blogs of Taylor haters and lovers as you can probably tell by my tone I'm a hater. Earlier this year Perez Hilton tracked down pictures of her smoking on set. It is feared that she is doing this to lose weight which she has also been chastised for. Recently she said she "doesn't care what people think of her" but when your in the public eye you have to care because you are meant to be setting an example. In the interview, this was another point hightlighted about how many girls are copying her style let's just hope for their sake their not copying her lifestyle!

Watch this Space! Gossip Girl Fashion Craze!

Is it just me or has Gossip Girl changed the whole fashion world?

As Miss Selfridges' gets set to launch their new Gossip Girl collection and Taylor Momsen puts pen to paper and signs a deal with New Look for the 'Taylor Loves' collection.  And recently designer Matthew Williamson got in on the act and let them fil part of the show in his shop and it featured one of his dresses. He also put the promotional tagline 'What did Chuck do?' in his front shop display. Not to mention the hairband craze Blair Waldorf started. I myself am a huge fan of the show. In the UK, it is on ITV2 on a Wednesday at 8pm. In the States, it is on the Monday and time zones vary.

The quirky style of Mathattan's elite has struck a chord with the young people across the globe.

To see the New Look collection go to:

http://www.newlook.co.uk/
http://www.youtube.com/user/NewLookTV

The Miss Selfridge's collection focuses more on the characters with 2 dresses designed around the 4 lead female characters, Blair Wal, Serena, Jenny and Vanessa. I think you can tell which character suits each dress by their personaility.
Blair - Chic, Consertative
Vanessa- Wild, Tribal
Serena - Laidback, Effortless
Jenny - Rocker, Sophisticated
A little birdie also tells me Chace Crawford, who plays Nate Archibald turned up at the event to help the promotion. I even have photographic proof. Scroll down to see for yourself.

Visit to see full-length high quality photos of the dresses.

The Many Hairbands of Blair Waldorf.


The shop display in Mathew Williamson's New York store.


The two logos of fashion institutions combine to one. Yay! Twice the happy fashion!


If you were lucky enough to recieve an invitation to Gossip Girl Miss Selfridges Launch (mine must have been lost in the mail) you would see that it was stated that a 'special guest' would be appearing. This happened to be Gossip Girl star, Chace Crawford. He looked at home with the Miss Selfridges buying team.

Look at the gorgeous giftbags. I just wonder what GG goodies are inside? Oh!

These dresses scream WALDORF!WALDORF!WALDORF!



I'm so upset I can't find any full-length pictures of this Maxi dress. You will have to go on to Fabsugar (the link above) to see the dress in all its glory.


A reflection of Jenny's Rocker Chic look. Grey + Lace = Hot!
I'm not sure If I'm sold on the black one yet.


These dresses would defo fit in with Serena's em.. eh... let's say revealing wardrobe with the low necklines and short hemlines. Well, as Serena heself may say, if you've got it flaunt it.

Watch This Space! Satchel Bags Make Comeback

As I was discussing my love of satchel bags with my mother the other day when she told me she had one at school and then two in the 90's that she gave away. at first i was angry because I was looking for a cheap one and you can't get cheaper than free then I began to think are satchels making a comeback. My Eureka moment! They are and I expect to see more creep into our shops as we reach into the summer months

Versace has Sparked a Debate!

A Debate has broken out across the fashion world started by Versace. Not about a sheer fabric. Not about a non-exisitint dress. Not about a designer drug scandal. About boots.




So are they Hideous of High Fashion?

I vote half and half. i think it the shoe was cut into a stilleto shape. They would look very classy. But this screams overkill and totally unpractical. Is it just me or to you see flatter versions hitting the high street anytime soon??? :-P
