It wasn’t so bad as the earlier episodes proved to be. Tripp made congressman due to his grandfather planting the right man in the right waters in front of the wrong camera.

Blair and Serena fell out and made up again. This is getting old. And has Leighton Meester gone Pop? Sighs**

Worth noting, I was impressed by the fab dress that adorned Serena! Here’s what she wore last night. And here are some shiny shoes to match.

A more scripted and powerful statement could have been depicted had Serena wore these shiny blue shoes just before dumping her sad PR project, Patrick! Don’t you think? A lil fashion foreshadowing, yes?!

Should’ve wore some blue shoes on Friday night, but I digress … that mistake has been corrected!

Chinese Laundry Navy/Silver Sequin Heels – “Be gone in a flash, Patrick!”

This picture is from the reunion that aired last Thursday. Kandi expressed grief of late ex-fiance “AJ.”

At Alex Gidewon Foundation annual gala. Love the animal print down the center with the satin fabric. Nice pairing. And the feather earrings accents her look! Nice job here!

I love this pic. Kandi seems to like strappy shoes and stilettos, so here are a few of my favorite new Heels, I think she’d like.

Here’s Siriano. Remember him?

Here are his claw heels.

Here’s a closeup from his website.

And another closeup from a shoeblog.

Well … can you see yourself rockin’ these claw heels? I do! I like a little bit of ‘bad’ to go along with the ‘fit! Tell me: “what do you think?”

Here’s a glimpse of what is offered at Payless, designed by Christian Siriano! Price tag: under $45. Designs inspired by Egyptian hieroglyphics.

The Cut’s take on the new shoe collection.

I’m at Payless this season!

Nonetheless here’s what you are waiting for …

I really like the fold down top and chunky heel. These ought to be really comfortable.

Now here are a few picks from Heels! They’re suede and stylish!

Betsyville Obrian II Boot

Hot evening wear. Mitten-like top will keep you warm.

Chinese Laundry Tripin Thigh Boot

Buttons … nice detail to pair with a hoodie.

Corso Como Tucson

I like to the short chunky heel and two tone beige combination.

“It’s probably the best work I’ve ever done …”

-Tyra Banks

Well did you catch this quote while Serena conversed with Tyra’s character–Ursula? What happened here? The show became guest appearance heavy with one guest appearance too many that made no sense–Hilary Duff. I love Hilary Duff, but where do we have room for the sweet, modest and innocent? Gossip Girl is slow to wrath, lukewarm. And I’m in need of some serious drama. Here’s the couch scene with Serena and Ursula. Furthermore, the red couch makes more of a statement. I’d like to have that couch at my place! Find that couch! STAT!

This leads to my favorite fashionista of the show–Serena. Seems like she interviewed with every fashion house in NY but failed to land something solid. She couldn’t trump the big Q of identity: “Who is Serena?” My poor S! Sure she’ll find herself soon! Love the career outfit!

This was the worst outfit of the bunch, starring Hilary Duff. However, I love the Heels!

Here are some Heels that could’ve taken Hilary Duff’s outfit to another level, perhaps on the fashion level of Serena. S stands for sultry!

Pour la Victoire Ynes Heel- I believe this literally means “for the victory.” Correct me if I’m wrong. Consequently, these heels trump the outfit! I also love that this heel is rose gold. It gives a 14k gleam. Don’t you think? Thumbs up!

“Did I just catch you on a walk of shame?” -Serena

Are we spiraling on this show? Or did we get new writers during the strike last year? I’m sad to say that I don’t feel like I’m watching the classic Gossip Girl. I didn’t hear the narrator speak a whole lot last night. She’s loosing her voice! Hah! And the characters all are doing their own thing!

Serena is all of sudden convinced that Carter is a match for her ‘bad girl’ ways. Not sure how this will turn out, since I thought she dissolved her evil half last season.

Georgina is still in the picture, but she used to serve as a foil character to Serena when Blair was busying herself with trifles. Her character also served as Serena’s scapegoat. I’m not sure what her constant presence will bring this season.

“The so-called “Scott” almost admitted to being Rufus’s son. That’s a dissapointment. I thought we were just heating up … This show is known for the ‘in-your-face-truths’ moment when the wrong thing happens at a pivotal time for any given character. Not enough conflict here!

It seems as if the writers are having a difficulty time controlling the characters’ motifs in various settings. With the characters developing all over New York, under different circumstances, and different rules, it’s hard to determine if we’re still watching the same classic characters that we’ve grown to love.

Having said that, Blair and Chuck are at it again, and this time, the rink is Sotheby’s for historical image. This leads to my favorite fashion scene.

Chuck and Blair at Sotheby’s!

There’s that hint of purple on his tie, Chuck’s fashion motif!

Another Sotheby’s shot!

Found this pic on Gossip Girl Fashion Blog! Love the outfit, S!

Here’s a better shoe suggestion for Serena! Compliments of Heels!

episode-5-meltdown-Amid, Rachel’s breakdown, I couldn’t focus on anything other than the red, suede jacket she wore when she arrived to work that morning. It was biker-esque. If you click the “episode 5-meltdown” hyperlink, flip through the pics, you’ll see it! It’s stunning, but I bet it’s too pricey for my pockets. Like your style, Zoe. Nip the dramatics! We knew you weren’t going to die on Reality TV! hah!

Inspired by the Rachel Zoe Project, a red, suede heel!

Guess Bukala Red Suede Heel

The Hills-Go see.

The City-Go see.

This promotional trailer has MTV reality stars like Whitney Port and Olivia Palermo showing off their sexy heels. I thought the trailer looked more like a fashion show, alluding to the fashion world in which Whitney and Olivia works. How cute.

Seems like all you need is a black dress and pumps to be in this trailer!

MTV just phoned me and said they were doing a re-take. They said they needed me. I think it might have been a diversity call or something! So I’m preparing for the shoot … here is my black heel selection! (hahahaha)

Report Signature Vaughn Sandal-

This sandal is sure to make all those girls so “jelly.” It’s the BEST looking heel of them all . You’ve got to agree!

Paris Hilton Courtney Bootie-

I’d be the IT Drama Queen … with these boots matching my personality.

Me as Drama Queen: “Ok, what is my role? What’s my … What’s my motivation? Get me my snacks! (shaking my head at producers) Why is Whitney Port sitting in my chairrrrr?!”

He had much to say in the November 2009 issue of Marie Claire about handbags, legwear, cover-ups, and apparel. And I had to agree with all of his advice. Here’s what he said and his suggestions. You can find this article on page 58.

Handbags and Evening Wear

Tim: “Why, oh why do people persist in dragging around luggage-size handbags to evening events?”

I agree, Tim. He then suggests a clutch for the evening events!

I think oversized purses/bags should be left for the high-maintenance day agendas! Depending on your schedule, you may need a place to store  an extra pair or shoes or a collar shirt. And where else to put it other than that hobo bag? Great advice.

Jewel Handle Croc Clutch

Legwear

Tim: “There is no simple way to be on-trend than to don a pair of fashion hoisery.”

Not sure if you read it or not. But in the Fall Fashion issue of Elevate, I advised everyone to get on par with this. This issue was out in 2008. Now the trends persists! I absolutely love colored tights. In fact, I was thinking that it makes more sense to shop for accessories this week which will include purchasing a fab pair of marigold hoisery than to do more jean shopping! Gold pairs great with the basic black dress that Tim Gunn refers to in his apparel advice. Find the below at American Apparel.

Apparel

Tim: “It goes without saying that the basic black dress is the core of evening attire.”

Oh, Tim, are we like minds or what?! Ladies, black is slimming and chic. The classic black dress will never fail you! I own more black dresses than any other color because it’s classic! It’ll never be a “fashion no-no.”

Iisli Barraan Dress

Tim, what happened to the heels suggestion??? I got it covered; no worries!

L.A.M.B Jona Pump

See those studs in the front?? I like that! This is a high heel that is sure to make every solid color dress stand out in colored (other than black, brown or neutral) tights. Enjoy, fashionistas!

Looks like Serena is getting herself in a ditch by puckering up to Chuck Bass’s arch nemesis–Carter Baizen. You remember the Carter-Chuck rival when Chuck attempted to assist a getaway for the elitist escort?! LOL. And Serena’s old ruthless friend–Georgina has found a way to room with her arch nemesis-Blair (Serena’s BFF). This is getting crazy! And the stage is being set up for more drama! I just love Mondays! Looks like, Blair and Chuck have been exiled from “cool” as they begin mapping through this transitional stage. No restaurant sponsors for Chuck thanks to “S” and Carter. And everyone at NYU hates Blair. This Queen Bee will find her way … no sweat!

Amid the drama, these characters dress their butts off. One in particular, Chuck Bass. Hello there, Bass! Let me see you sport the color you love the most–purple.

Well ladies, let’s match his swag with some purple heels!

Compliments of Heels!

Report Signature Dante T-Strap Heels- Having thought about it, once more. Doesn’t this look like a Serena shoe? She would definitely pull this off with one of her glittery skirts or alarming short shorts! This is just the girly glam she’d pair with her “not-so-sweet” look. Guess who’s playing Anna Sui now?

Marciano Crysta Heels- I’m certain that this is a continuation of the “Buckle Down Blair” blog. Here the exact buckles I think she needs to get her act together. These pumps would help sparkle with her beau–Chuck Bass. And they’re chic enough to pair with her ruffles. You like? Anna Sui has got nothing on this!

Just for kicks, I thought it would be great to see what fans are saying! I’m such a Gossip Girl Groupie! Enjoy …More Gossip Girl on blog

Oh goodie gum drops, I found more purple on the site! And Bad Ass Georgina is rockin’ a big GOLD CHAIN. Gotta love it! They’re both wearing shades of purp! Betcha didn’t catch this when watching last night’s show.

Color continuity amongst enemies!
