Blair Glams Up the Gossip Girl Set in Princess-Worthy Oscar de la Renta

Hannah Weil — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 07:39:40 PST

The latest from the Upper East Side set is Blair's most glamorous since the royal Vera Wang wedding gown. We spotted Blair hitting the Gossip Girl set (and locking lips with Lonely Boy - gasp!) in a dreamy pink-princess confection from Oscar de la Renta's Resort 2012. Since half the fun of the Upper East Side drama is what everyone is wearing, we're delving into season five's best looks. Some, like Blair's latest may be more fantasy than shopping reality, but in every episode there's also a chance to get our hands on something Serena, Blair, or the rest of the show's stylish ensemble has worn. From Mulberry to Marc Jacobs, Rag & Bone, and Louis Vuitton - and thanks to Eric Daman's brilliant styling - every episode unfolds with a cast of enviable designer goodies. Now they might actually be yours - just click through for the amazing Gossip Girl style moments, and if you're tempted, shop away!

Fall 2011 Trend Breakdown: How to Wear '40s-Inspired Style

Hannah Weil — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 04:00:56 PDT

The call to '40s elegance was all over the Fall runways, drawing us in with classic glamour from Louis Vuitton, Marc Jacobs, and Miu Miu. It's that '40s influence we first garnered from greats like Katharine Hepburn and Ava Gardner that's now showing up on the pages of Vogue Australia and celebrity favorites like Diane Kruger and Camilla Belle. There are of course more than a few ways to wear it, from the easy androgynous takes in double-breasted blazers and wide-leg pants to the ultra-feminine iterations in pretty pleats and printed dresses, all with nipped waists. To perfect that '40s-era drama, just keep these tips in mind:

Look for feminine detailing like pleats, cinched waists, and peplum to perfect the decade's ladylike tilt.
Look for key fabrics like tweed and printed silks to lend the vintage stylized quality you're after on skirts, dresses, and trousers.
If you're too shy to go for a full-bodied look, opt for vintage-inspired prints like polka dots to channel the trend with ease - and without high risk.

Now, click through for the full breakdown and our picks for perfecting the look.

Louis Vuitton Expected to Launch New Perfume

Miriam Lacey — Mon, 24 Oct 2011 10:40:00 PDT

Iconic (and often knocked-off) leather goods brand Louis Vuitton has hired perfumer Jacques Cavallier-Belletrud to come up with its first scent in decades, and now the beauty world is abuzz with speculation about what kind of scent Vuitton will come out with. Cavallier-Belletrud is a third-generation scentmaker from Grasse, France, (perhaps the world's most famed perfume region), and he's the nose behind lots of designer fragrances, including perfumes as diverse as Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey, Jean Paul Gaultier Classique, Stella McCartney Stella, and Christian Dior Midnight Poison.

Given Cavallier-Belletrud's varied roster, it might be best to look at Vuitton's head designer, Marc Jacobs, to discern what genre the perfume is likely to fit into. Luckily, Marc already has several fragrances of his own, which tend to skew into the light floral category. Grasse perfumers are also known for their florals (and they're the dominant scent varietal in the current market), so perhaps we'll be looking at something fancy and flowery.

Trendspotting: The Duffle

Hannah Weil — Thu, 06 Oct 2011 04:00:21 PDT

If you're looking to invest in a worthy Fall accessory, look no further than the duffle bag. As this trio of style-setting blondes proves, the arm candy exudes both fashion and function - and we love when those worlds collide in one lust-worthy creation. Kirsten Dunst and Kate Moss each opt for luxe, leather versions from Louis Vuitton, in their own respectively sophisticated hues, while Sienna Miller selects a covetable carryall from Burberry Prorsum's 2012 Resort. Each signals a polished finish for day-to-day basics, and seems particularly perfect in rich leather and deep colors for Fall.
