Serena van der Woodsen probably wouldn't be caught dead without her signature sky-high pumps, but Blake Lively ditched her glam persona in exchange for a downtown-cool ensemble while on the set of Gossip Girl in NYC. She kicked off her laid-back look with funky Christian Louboutin sneakers, then bundled up in a multitexture Dolce & Gabbana coat. Unfortunately, Blake's jacket isn't available online, but this look is easy to re-create at home by layering a purple coat over a gray ribbed cardigan, throwing on some distressed jeans, then finishing off with a pair of high-top kicks — here's a Coach pair we love.
Gossip Style: Blair Waldorf
Blair Waldorf was picture-perfect getting cozy with her fiancé, Louis, in this week's episode of Gossip Girl. Blair looked like a princess-in-training in her floral D&G blouse, high-waist Tracy Reese trousers, and Valentino bracelet. We added platform loafers, oversize onyx earrings, and pink lipstick to finish off Miss Waldorf's adorable ensemble. Shop now to copy this ladylike look.

D&G Spring 2012
Opulent, silky prints ruled D&G's final runway show — and if you've ever wondered how to wear a scarf more than 10 different ways, this is it. For Spring 2012, Dolce & Gabbana's younger line showed us endless ways to adorn ourselves in silky, luxe prints — halter-tied flowing dresses, mini shorts, tunics, button-downs, wrap skirts, and even silk scarf-wrapped platforms and bags. Hardly any solids appeared at all — save for a denim-on-denim suit and a white button-down adding stark contrast to a pair of tailored silky, turquoise trousers and printed miniskirt. Whimsical and luxurious, we probably wouldn't feel right if we weren't wearing these pieces on a yacht somewhere off the Amalfi Coast.
- Trends: Prints, denim, scarves.
- Colors: Pink, green, blue, orange, multihued prints, polka dots.
- Key Look: The silky, mixed prints looked amazing, but we're particularly obsessed with the silky print tunic over the floral print silk shorts.
- Accessories: Scarf-wrapped platforms, major gold coin drop earrings and necklaces, small printed box clutches, larger, fringe-adorned printed clutches, and straw-trimmed floppy hats.
- Who Would Wear It: Glamorous vacationers and die-hard D&G fans.

Summer on the Farm: How to Get Country Chic
