Liquid Leggings: Celeb Trend

For this year it seems that liquid leggings are a trend of celebrities. From the girls of Gossip Girl to Miley Cyrus, it seems that many are taking a liking to these leggings. They are shiny and to me look like they don't breathe very well. Every celebrity has their own way of rocking them; from wearing them with heels to wearing them with sneakers.

Do you really think they will take off in the real world?

Gossip Girl Tributes to Audrey Hepburn

The character Blair Waldorf on Gossip Girl loves Audrey Hepburn. In the first season of Gossip Girl, Blair had two dreams that were her versions of two scenes from Breakfast At Tiffany's.

The above is from the episode Bad News Blair

The above is from the episode The Blair Bitch Project

Blair's bedroom also has this picture of Audrey framed.

The Christmas episode was called Roman Holiday. Blair's father and his boyfriend (Roman) come for Christmas. While they were they her father told her that they got a cat and named it Cat for for (the cat in Breafast at Tiffany's was named Cat)

This season coming up (second), there will be a bit on yet another Audrey film; My Fair Lady. Pictures of Leighton Meester (Blair) and Blake Lively (Serena) are from http://justjared.buzznet.com/.

I'm sure there will be mentions of Audrey and maybe even more bits that tribute to the great Audrey Hepburn.

Colourful Tights

The first season of Gossip Girl (dvd set comes out August 19) inspired me to talk about one of the main fashion staples that kept on showing up in many episodes; lots of bright colour tights. It first started with Blair early on in the season but then branched out to Jenny and then to everyone- including females who watch the show and beyond! This fall colourful tights can be bought at many stores near you and in a massive variety of colours.
