Many a catwalker have taken a stab at designing, but nobody works the model-actress-turned-designer game like Molly Sims. The Holiday collection for her jewelry line, Grayce by Molly Sims, is an array of chic, art deco-inspired pieces that celebrate the effortless style of timeless icons like Audrey Hepburn, Brigitte Bardot, and Jackie O. It offers a mix of delicate layering chains, antique drop earrings, and decadent pavé statement necklaces. We got to chat with the statuesque stunner and picked her cool, creative, and superstylish brain. She let us in on some of her personal style secrets and holiday dressing tips, as well as what she'll be gifting her girlfriends this year.
Molly Sims's Holiday Styling Tips — Don't Fear Sequins!
The Look For Less: Gossip Girl's Serena Van Der Woodsen
Last night's episode of Gossip Girl wasn't as juicy as the premiere, but there were enough scrumptious affairs to keep us on our toes until next week. As the Upper East Siders left the Hamptons, Serena and Dan couldn't seem to keep their paws off one another. Seriously, who could resist Serena's temptation and her fabulous frock? Her tie-dye Adam maxi dress looks hippie-chic. To complete the ensemble, a layered Margo Morrison necklace and Sigerson Morrison sandals. Her cute party look inspired me to find a similar, cheaper outfit.

Celebrity Style: Molly Sims
Behold Molly Sims' swirly silk Alberta Ferretti goodness at the an LA photography exhibition hosted by the star. Yes, the pattern and colors of the dress make it unique, but I'm more drawn to her keen accessorizing abilities. Instead of leaving her neck bare, like most people would, Molly chose to layer different gold necklaces on top of one another for a chunky effect. This took the look from normal to snazzy. I also love her cork clutch and the deep-red peep toes because they're unexpected touches.

Double Take: Blake Lively Channels Sarah Jessica Parker
Many fashion followers are inspired by Sarah Jessica Parker, but Gossip Girl Blake Lively took her adoration to a more proactive level. At a recent event, she showed up wearing an outfit almost identical to an Yves Saint Laurent one that SJP wore not too long ago. Call it copying, call it inspiration, tomato, tomato, but the similarities are uncanny — the overly layered Margo Morrison New York necklaces, the champagne colored Dolce & Gabbana sheath dress, the blond pulled back hair. As long as SJP doesn't get perturbed, I don't have a problem with it. Do you?
