Is it just me, or does Blake Lively look totally lovely in these photos from the set of Gossip Girl? I’m not sure exactly what it is…maybe that her hair finally looks like it’s been brushed recently? Maybe because all of her clothes seem to not only fit her, but cover the parts that she seems perennially intent on showing the world? Maybe because she just looks really pretty in general, and the reasonable hair and wardrobing choices make it easier to notice that? I’m not sure. I’m also not [...]

When I first saw the lion-paw-shaped Christian Louboutin Alex Pumps, I wondered who exactly would wear such a shoe. Admittedly, it’s a fun idea, but there’s a wide gulf between thinking the shoes are interesting and actually purchasing and strutting your stuff in such shoes. But then I remembered that Christian Louboutin has a rabid pack of obsessed fans who will buy anything the man produces in droves, even if they never plan to wear it, and everything made sense. Gossip Girl star Blake Lively might be the queen of [...]

When I saw these pictures of Leighton Meester and Penn Badgley on the set of Gossip Girl, I turned green with envy. Not over Leighton’s perfect skin, or her mustard yellow Fendi Peekaboo that matches her blouse and chapeau just perfectly. Instead, I’m jealous of her cape. You guys, I’ve bought so many capes. I’ve ordered them online with high hopes. I’ve bought them at stores and vowed to find a way to style them perfectly when I got home. All have been failures, and all have gone back from [...]

I’m always excited to write about Gossip Girl because it features what I think is unquestionably the best fashion (and by far the best handbags) on TV, but I’m extra excited to write this post because I actually saw this scene happening in person! I live on the Upper East Side, and I set out down Madison Avenue on Friday to shop for a winter coat in advance of what promised to be nasty weather on Saturday. When I was walking toward 77th Street, a production assistant stopped me and [...]

Bless me father, for I have sinned. Gossip Girl has been on for weeks and I’ve yet to see a single episode of the new season. You see, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is on the same night, and I can’t watch and recap both. I know it’s going to take a lot of Haily Marys and Our Fathers to make up for this sin against god and pop culture. I’ll watch the season in one rainy weekend after it’s ended, probably, but that doesn’t mean I can’t look at [...]

Actually bothering to write paragraphs about Blake Lively carrying a Chanel 2.55 Flap Bag seems kind of silly; we all know that she’s Karl Lagerfeld‘s flavor of the month, and product placement is pretty easy to come by on Gossip Girl. But in this case, the bag is good enough to discuss. In fact, this foil-y cobalt blue version of the 2.55 might be my favorite of all time. It’s vibrant and modern while still being one of Coco’s classic designs, and it feels much more fresh and relevant in [...]

I always get so excited when we start seeing paparazzi photos from the set of Gossip Girl – it means that filming is underway and new episodes of the show are just around the corner! I won’t be recapping this season of the show on PurseBlog, but I will still be following along at home, even though the show frustrates me sometimes. But how can I stay away from a program that gives us outfits as great as this high-waisted trouser ensemble on Leighton Meester? And besides, how utterly gorgeous [...]

Some things are certain in life: The sun will rise, the IRS will find out and the phone will always ring as soon as you’ve put a giant bite of food in your mouth. Also, Gossip Girl star Blake Lively will wear Chanel to events, and if Karl Lagerfeld accompanies her or also attends the event, she will wear Chanel Haute Couture. Please consult these photos from the 2011 Met Gala for proof. Blake’s Fall 2009 Chanel Haute Couture look is a bit different than the deep-V minidresses that she [...]

Usually we have pretty good luck identifying the bags, shoes and clothes worn by the younger Gossip Girl stars because they are so heavily written about and photographed, but when it comes to the show’s adult characters, things get a little more tricky. Kelly Rutherford is undeniably lovely but doesn’t get quite as much blog ink as Blake and Leighton, so when her bags aren’t immediately recognizable, sometimes we’re at a loss. Rutherford is known for her Hermes collection, much of which she uses as Lily Van Der Woodsen Bass [...]

I would imagine that there aren’t many downsides to being Gossip Girl star Blake Lively, but one of them has to be embarrassing on-set paparazzi pictures. And the more embarrassing they are, the more people love to look at them and poke fun; at heart, we’re all just a bunch of haters. So here, take a look at some pictures of Blake in a set of rollers and rejoice over the fact that you’ve never had to be outside in the snow in rollers for work. Or maybe you have? [...]

Forgive me for blaspheming against the costume design gods at Gossip Girl, but I’m just not digging the Ralph Lauren Blue Label patchwork coat that series star Blake Lively is wearing in these photos. It’s so faded and drab that it looks like something you might pick up at the Goodwill, which is fine if you’re a person of modest means who’s simply trying to stay warm, but decidedly not fine if you’re Blake Lively and being dressed by some of the most resourceful costumers in the business. Blake’s accessories [...]

I couldn’t be more pleased that our ragtag gang of Upper East Siders is back on the job and filming new episodes of Gossip Girl. My Monday nights simply aren’t complete without them, and the knowledge that new episodes come back next week is singlehandedly keeping me going. What will happen? Who will hook up? Was all that Dan and Blair innuendo just a joke? Please let the answer to that question be “yes.” Anyway, paparazzi recently caught series star and all-around awesome fashion person Leighton Meester filming with Dorota [...]
