Gossip Girl Fashion Breakdown: The Ex-Files
This week's episode of Gossip Girl, "The Ex-Files," was tremendous in just about every way - not the least of which was its fashion! What kind of school would allow uniforms like these? An awesome school, that's what. But anyway ...
Our Gossip Girl fashion contributor, the fabulous Liza L., breaks down the episode's couture in her weekly column below ...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In this episode, Blair uses a beautiful selection of accessories to add to her school uniform, one of which is a beautiful Jennifer Behr headband ($525, here), worn with a Chanel cape (presumably). In this picture, she adds the flavour with a gorgeous Chanel scarf.
Serena, on the other hand, dresses it all down – simply sexy: French Toast Plaid Pleated Skirt ($15, here) and French Toast Plaid Full Make Tie ($4, here).
But even if Blair is Queen B, and Serena is the most popular girl in NYC, the other girls are high-fliers as well. Look at Penelope's LAMB multi stirling bag ($495, here).
In case you thought school unis were all we're gonna get now that summer's over, just wait until next week ... when the gang goes to Fashion Week!

Serena's dress is amazing, the one she wears to her date with Dan and Amanda, 100% designer, but which one? And how much?

Does anyone know the make of Blair's read handbag at the end of the episode? Some have said it's Gianfraco Ferre but I searched and searched and it's not sold anywhere? Is it maybe another brand?

Thank you!

actually wrong again.
apparently the headband is made by Susan Daniels but Blair's just had brass wiring.
i dunno...they still kind look different to me. Susan Daniels should start making them with the brass wire cos I think it looks better.
