Bright Tight

Because this seems to be the endless winter and we are already mid September (meaning Spring) I am thinking of donning a pair of red tights to brighten up my day and my outfit, Blair Waldorf style.

College Edition

So excited for the 14th September when the 3rd season of Gossip Girl airs in the US!! This is an upcoming feature in Elle on Gossip Girl, oh Ed! I'm hoping the series doen't fail in the transition to college like so may before them.

Bow-itful

How friggin' cute is this hat/bow creation made from an old vintage felt hat?! The always-clever Emmerson Merrick from An Apple a Day made it herself.

I admit I'm kinda over bows, I mean I still think they are super cute but I personally feel a little twee when I try to wear one and never quite make it out the door with one on. I guess it just reminds me of my school days (blazers, straw hats, emblems, green bows, and nurse-like uniforms!) and I'm afraid it was quite some years ago...

I think if I was 17 again at this very point of time a bow would be a staple in my daily styling with the likes of Blair Waldorf and Lauren Conrad sporting the never-dying trend weekly on their respective shows- the 17-year-old me would be a diehard fan. I was reading some interview with Leighton Meester and she said that wearing a bow (when she is playing Blair) is essential as it's like wearing a crown. Interesting.

I think this mainstream trend is perhaps on the way out (maybe its already passed) but I think it may always be there for us vintage lovers but not necessarily on our heads I think more comfortably tied at our necks, waists, cuffs or feet! But if I was going to don a bow on my head it would be this one!
