ttF Fashion Diary: Blair Waldorf War

ttF Fashion Staples Series Diary: Blair Waldorf War
Sometimes I feel like a big meeting is similar to going to war. You have to be fully prepared with notes and a plan of attack. And you have to dress the part. For me, that usually means a fitted sheath dress, classic pumps and one powerful piece of statement jewelry, very similar to Blair Waldorf’s outfits on Gossip Girl when she declared war on Chuck. So it only seemed fitting to pose with two of America’s great presidents, JFK and Ronald Reagan, at the The Wall Project before my meeting today.

One Pair of Charley 5.0 Denim Leggings, 6 Different Looks

One Pair of Charley 5.0 Denim Leggings Worn 6 Different Ways

I used to be anti denim leggings. I’m not a legging person to begin with so I couldn’t imagine they could look better than a pair of skinny jeans. But when I slipped-or rather tugged-on Charley 5.0′s Denim Leggings ($165) it all made sense. Since there are no zippers, you can wear tight shirts without showing a bulge. And somehow, the material sucks you in like shapewear (these are not a garment that you want to buy big).

Granted, I’d never, ever, ever wear my denim leggings as pants, but as long as the majority of my butt is covered up, the super skinny style is the perfect contrast for all the lonely tunics hanging in my closet. If you can’t afford Charley 5.0′s, try these from Forever 21 for pretty much the exact same look at only 12 bucks!

ttF Daily Fave: Gossip Girl‘s Eric Daman

Eric Daman is the man behind Blair, Serena & Co.’s spectacular wardrobe. I would kill to work with him for just one day. I just found this clip where the costume designer discusses Serena’s looks in Gossip Girl‘s upcoming third season, which airs during New York Fashion Week. Even though I’m Blair-biased it’s always fun to see what shocking outfit Serena will wear next.

Earth Month Day 13: Nugaard Designs

nugaard-jewelryWalt Whitman may have had Leaves of Grass, but Vanessa Abrams has leaves of gold. Since the CW is making us wait two weeks for a new episode of Gossip Girl—I know, major tears—I decided to take a look back at this season. I was enamored with the gold earrings Jessica Szhor’s character wore in “Pret-a-Poor-J.” The Spider Web earrings are a twist on the classic hoop, featuring a delicate gold-dipped fern caught in a web ($140). The green company, Nugaard Designs, has an array of grass and leaves dipped in precious metals, as well as jewelry with gorgeous gemstones. If you buy one of their leaf items, the Nugaard girls (Brazilian BFFs Alessandra Feio and Erica Pacey) promise to plant a tree through Trees for Future. I wonder if Vanessa requested hers to be planted in Brooklyn.
