Gossip Girl launches a clothing line!

Warner Bros, the producer of Gossip Girl, has announced that there will soon be a clothing line dedicated to the hit television series, which is actually set to be released in the US this fall to coincide with the launch of the series 5th season.

Go on, admit it! You only watch Gossip Girl so you can swoon over the incredible outfits worn by the programme’s two heroines Blake Lively and Leighton Meester! Their outfits are usually right on trend, and their looks are copied by adoring fans all over the world. However, it’s been a while since their actual antics kept us glued to the screens like it was four series ago.

Well, the good news is that Warner Bros. decided to produce a G.G. clothing line! They have teamed up with the brand "Romeo & Juliet Couture" to produce this new line which will include shirts, blouses, etc that all draw their inspiration from Serena and Blair’s respective styles.

All that remains for us is to buy our tickets to New York, since the clothes will be on sale in major stores in N.Y. such as Neiman Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue!

Welcome to my new followers :D

OMG it’s been soooooo long since my last post! I can’t and I won’t make up any excuses. The truth is that I just didn’t feel like blogging. I didn’t even want to read any blogs so please forgive me if I haven’t stopped by your blog for some time now. It’s nothing personal, I simply needed a big break from it all. I will slowly get back in the game, so bear with me ;)

Btw, I'd also like to say a very BIG WELCOME to all new followers!

I look forward to keeping in touch with you and any feedback or comments are always welcome :)

I'm always happy to see new faces pop up on my followers list and I'd love to return the visit and see your blogs too! So if you have a blog, you can leave a comment here with your blog address so that I'd drop by. It won't be long and I will catch you soon ;)

Editorial - Vogue Magazine July 2011

Peter Lindbergh shoots Lara Stone, Frida Gustavsson and Alexander Skarsgård for Vogue's US July 2011 editorial. This sophisticated editorial, named ‘Spellbound’, is ispired by 1940's film noir elegance. Styled by Grace Coddington, a subtle melodramatic story of a femme fatale is told through the lens of Peter Lindbergh. It features Lara Stone in the leading role and Frida Gustavsson in fall’s latest collections accompanied by the actor Alexander Skarsgard. It is undoubtedly one of the best editorials of the month (of course we wouldn't expect anything less than this from Vogue!)

Enjoy :)

Chanel Cruise 2012 Collection

The beachy background of the Hotel du Cap on the French Riviera's Antibes was the ideal setting for a sea of bright sunny yellow suits, black and white color-blocked maillots (many of which were worn with coordinating top hats) and other light summer separates in classic pinstripes, all courtesy of mastermind Karl Lagerfeld.

Inspired by Rita Hayworth and Aly Khan, the married movie star and royal socialite who once frequented the halls of Hotel du Cap, Chanel Cruise 2012 looks were decked out in real diamonds and pearls and took spectators to just about every high-class jetsetter destination; from the beach to society events.
