I have had a crush on Kate Spade for quite some time now. There's no one who gets whimsicality and color quite like Kate. For fall, Kate took two of the things I love -Paris and Brad Goreski- and created a fabulous presentation full of Left Bank chic and classic Kate sass. Who said anything about boys? This Valentine's Day, I'll be pining over this presentation.

| Carven cotton blend canvas jacket |
Normally I am hesitant with yellow clothes, as I fear they may make me look too much like a yellow cupcake, but I love the cut of this Carven jacket. I love a good swingy box jacket. Plus, the camel piping and the curved lines really makes this jacket unique.

Because I've been in love with everything 20s for the past year, I nearly died when I laid eyes upon this fabulous Juicy drop-waist tennis dress last week at Nordstrom. It was love at first sight, and so I went all out in a flapper-inspired getup and channeled my inner Zelda Fitzgerald.
The 20s have forever been known as a decade-long party, so it is hard not to be wishing to travel back to that era a la Gil from Midnight in Paris. But I guess he learns that it is better to enjoy the present, so I will have to settle for a good Hemingway book -or, for that matter, a book about Hemingway and his first wife that I happen to be reading right now, called The Paris Wife. I still plan to keep the 20s tradition alive and become an American expat in Paris, of course, because no matter what decade we live in there is no place like that city. But my, in the 20s with Chanel at her height and a mecca of literary geniuses!?
One can only dream.
As previous posts suggest, I am a devoted Gossip Girl fan and have followed the past five seasons religiously. In honor of the show's recent 100th episode (my, how the years have flown) I've looked back at the show that I started watching in middle school and have picked my favorite looks from the show.

|
| Blair and Serena as best friends and lovely models in "Eleanor Waldorf" designs (actually Lorick) |
 |
| What uniforms? Jenny, Blair, and posse meet on the Steps of the Met before school in perfectly posh ensembles |
 |
| For season two the show went to the Hamptons, the summer playground of the Upper East Side, and both Blair and Serena look absolutely summer-ready |
 |
| Gossip Girl made me desperate for many prep school staples, including argyle, trench coats, and of course, headbands |
 |
| Blair and Serena- best friends in Ralph Lauren on Lily's third wedding day |
 |
| Jenny Humphrey was my favorite character in season one; I loved her Brooklyn cool-meets- UES prep style |
 |
| Gossip Girl in Paris allowed the show to tackle uncharted fashion territory |
 |
| I loved Serena's bad-girl-gone-good image in season one, including this vintage frock |
 |
| We gotta give it to the boys: They made girls everywhere wish their boyfriends wore more purple |
 |
| Gossip Girl's 80s flashback showed us a country club-filled side of the decade we rarely see |
 | |
| I was always a fan of Kati and Isobel's over-the-top matching get ups |
 |
| The Masked Ball has left me dreaming for a rockin' masquerade of my own |
 |
| Serena's first outfit on the show has stuck with us throughout the years as the epitome of style |
 |
| Perhaps my favorite outfit, this look features headbands, stripes, and a devious smirk - what more could you ask for on an episode of GG |
 |
| Blair in Chuck's scarf is like the UES equivalent to wearing your boyfriend's varsity jacket |
 |
| I like how Chuck and Blair match, even when they aren't together |
 |
| Elizabeth Hurley proved to be just as hot as the twenty-somethings on the show as the delightfully devious Diana Payne |
 |
| Serena as a fashion model made my day. Just look at her work the runway! |
 |
| Clemence Poesy as the sweet French girl who saved Chuck made me wish I had a French accent and a Chanel blazer |
 |
| Your prom dress will never be as good as Blair's |
 |
| Through all the wacky styles, through all the boyfriends and backstabbing and bitchiness, the best part of Gossip Girl is not the clothes but rather the lasting friendship between these two best friends. Here's to five more seasons of Blair and Serena, no matter what they wear! |
