Gossip Girl's epic six-season run has come to an end, and while the goodbye to our favorite Upper East Siders and Brooklynites may be bittersweet, we're taking this opportunity to dive right into one of the things this TV show did best: fashion. For the last five years, the cast has become a veritable lookbook for uptown vs. downtown styling, and we're all the luckier for it. Since day one, Blake Lively, as Serena van der Woodsen, has been the boho-chic complement to Leighton Meester's Blair Waldorf luxe rendition of ladylike prep. And, as the Monday night fixture proved seriously addictive, we've become privy to the importance of headband couture, must-have handbags, and some of the most gorgeous heels to ever grace primetime programming. Oh, did we mention the eye candy? Because Ed Westwick, Chace Crawford, and Penn Badgley certainly bring that in spades. Let's not waste another nostalgic moment — click through now for some of this season's best onscreen style.

See You Lather: The Dove® Body Wash Difference

Here’s a little soap “dish”— did you know that some types of lather, created from cleansing ingredients know as surfactants, has historically been seen as damaging to your skin?

by Sponsor

Here’s a little soap “dish”— did you know that some types of lather, created from cleansing ingredients know as surfactants, has historically been seen as damaging to your skin? Look at the evidence: most so-called “mild” cleansers aren’t super-soaper-uppers; some lather-rific favorites can actually be quite drying. Until now. New Dove® Body Washes not only offer your skin the best care with a unique combination of gentle cleansing and NutriumMoisture technology, they also provide you with the best-ever shower experience, including rich lather that won’t strip your skin of essential nutrients. It’s all thanks to the addition of sodium cocoyl glycinate, an ultra-gentle cleanser which delivers rich lather that rinses cleanly and quickly.

So lather up—and check it out for yourself! But first click here to learn more about why Dove® Deep Moisture, Sensitive Skin, and Exfoliating Body Washes are the proven best care, and put them to the test against some of the most popular brands on the market.

J.Crew's Tom Mora on Holiday Dressing, Party Pants, and Playing With Color

When it comes to styling up a polished yet playful party look, nobody does it quite like J.Crew — and with invitations coming in left and right, we thought it necessary to tap into the brand's signature quirky-cool aesthetic for the season ahead.

by Brittney Stephens

When it comes to styling up a polished yet playful party look, nobody does it quite like J.Crew — and with invitations coming in left and right, we thought it necessary to tap into the brand's signature quirky-cool aesthetic for the season ahead. We chatted with Tom Mora, J.Crew's head of women's design, to hear about the latest collection and get his expert tips on holiday party dressing — and boy, did we get a wealth of inspiration. Tom gave us his advice on taking a look from work to play, his favorite cocktail dress alternatives, and even gave us the inside scoop on the gifts that make creative director Jenna Lyons smile. See what he had to say below.

FabSugar: A lot of us end up going to holiday events straight from work — what are your tips for making an office look party-ready?
Tom Mora: There are a couple things that I think are easy fixes: throwing on a statement necklace or pair of earrings does an incredible job of making an outfit feel really special. In the same vein, we have really gorgeous suede pumps in the most exquisite colors, and it's really fun to walk into a party in a more muted black or gray outfit and then have people look down and see a bright shoe! I also think a really great lipstick color — a really red or poppy-colored lip — looks amazing and is an easy switch-up.

There are a million parties to go to all season, and we tend to get into our somber, dark clothes — but there's lots of color out there, and it's a great opportunity to experiment with brighter tones and mix and match them with hues like seafoam green, icy lilac, and citrus. Don't shy away from colors that you think don't work on you — those rules were made to be broken!

For more of Tom's tips, and to see chic style inspiration from J.Crew's Holiday 2012 lookbook, just keep reading.
