Gossip Girl Headbands
I Want This Wardrobe: Gossip Girl, Blair Waldorf
The season premiere of Gossip Girl lived up to our expectations, debuting another round of drama and sin in the Hamptons. While there were lots of juicy details, I'll focus on the fashions of Blair Waldorf.
While most of the boys were off frolicking with new ladies, Blair was busy making Chuck jealous.
How-To: Make a Gossip Girl-Inspired Headband
In these tough economic times, my new favorite saying is "why buy when you can DIY?" As much as I adore fancy hair adornments, I can't always justify the cost of the pricey barrettes and bands I covet. (Sorry, Blair.) So, I headed to my local craft store and picked up enough goodies for several different projects.
Head of the Class: How Was Your College Transition?
One day you're in, and the next day you're below New York's 14th Street where, as Blair puts it on last night's Gossip Girl, "there's no class system." Is anything going right for poor Blair on her first day of college? Her gift bags and maid fail to impress her dormmates; her archenemy is her roommate; and that sushi/sake party is an epic fail.
Which Trend Would You Like to See Go?
Black nail polish, headbands, and braids — three trends that have been going full force for at least the last two years. What would The Hills be without the braids or Gossip Girl without the embellished headbands, after all?
Each look has its merits, no doubt, but have they worn out their welcomes?
How-To: Emma Watson's Rainy Day Updo
Rainy weather didn't stop Emma Watson from looking fresh-faced and chic at the London premiere of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. In fact, the loose updo style, complemented with braids and a red hair accent, is perfect for beating warm-weather humidity.
Now, I realize many of you might be sick of hearing about braids and headbands, two trends that have been popular for some time thanks to the ladies of The Hills and Gossip Girl, but you've got to appreciate how Emma turned the look into something fresh.
I Want This Wardrobe: '80s Flashback, Lily and Carol Rhodes
It's a blast from the past! Check out Lily and sister Carol in Gossip Girl's throwback episode. Aren't they adorable?
I Want This Wardrobe: Gossip Girl, Georgina Sparks
Reformed bad girl Georgina Sparks reappears on tonight's episode of Gossip Girl, sporting a devilishly prim-girl getup. Since it can still be cold in NYC, Georgina layers on a maroon coat by Nanette Lepore, black tights, dusty pink scarf, and matching pink headband. Ferocious Christian Louboutin pumps, leather gloves, and textured tote complete her agenda.
Gossip Girl Beauty Quiz: Episode 25, "The Goodbye Gossip Girl"
Well, high school's over and, much like Dan, I'm already feeling nostalgic about the exploits and adventures of our favorite Upper East Side seniors this year. With the mystery of Gossip Girl still up in the air and hints at even more drama to come (Georgina! Serena's dad?), I must say I nearly teared up at the reunion of Chuck and Blair (4 EVA).
Who Wears the Metallic Headband Best?
While we're still seeing everything from satiny flowers to wispy feathers (hello, Gossip Girl), metallic headbands are also ruling the fashion scene. Although we haven't seen Mischa Barton wearing her signature style as of late, she does carry a line of headbands in collaboration with accessories designer Stacey Lapidus. As for the hair accessories business, Mischa's not alone.
Best of Bella
