I. can't. wait.

     My boyfriend recently told me that after his birthday (next week!) he wants to re-do his wardrobe. This was music to my ears. As much as I love women's fashion, I die for men's. In my opinion it's what makes women's fashion incredibly diverse, not to mention the androgynous trend that has become so popular. Since we chatted about his wardrobe, I've been circling cashmere sweaters in J. Crew catalogs and scouring my favorite blogs inspiration. We'll be enlisting the help of my fellow fashion-loving roommate over Christmas break so this gives me even more of an excuse to spend all of my time at the mall (hey, I'm not complaining). 

     But while researching I came across a Chuck Bass-inspired men's line for Urban Outfitters. For all of my Gossip Girls fans (any way that I can incorporate the show into my blog, I will), I'm sure you are well aware of Chuck's transformation from trying way too hard to be cool - and also very creepy - to being quite dapper and winning us over while awkwardly trying to hide his British accent. Chuck's style is a little too businessman for my boyfriend, but J. Press (the brand that Chuck wears most on the show) has made a more affordable line of preppy men's clothes sold exclusively at Urban Outfitters. Here is the entire line, but my favorites are below. I wouldn't say I love the line, but there are a few pieces that would look great incorporated into a little less ivy-league look. 

Shetland Wool Crew-Neck Sweater, $78

Drill Pant, $78

Bonjour, Blair & Serena

     This weekend was great - I spent a lot of time eating, jet-skiing and being out on the lake. The tall cakes I made with my mom Friday night definitely were less than post-worthy so I'm just going to skip those and hopefully I'll have better luck with the next recipe! Here's a few pictures from my weekend:

     Now onto a real post: here's a few shots of Leighton Meester & Blake Lively shooting Gossip Girl in Paris this morning! Their clothes are to die for, literally...But what's up with Blair's patterns? Thankfully, the fourth season starts September 13!

XOXO, Gossip Girl

    

     This is the BEST website I've found in a longgg time. Gossip Girl is one of my favorite shows (I can't resist a scandalous plot line and attractive boys) and the wardrobe on this show is impeccable. You can shop looks by character and find either exact or similar matches to clothes from each episode on the website below. Now we can all pretend like we live on New York's Upper East Side (even though in my head I already do).
