Gossip Girl Thanksgiving Fashion Guide

Thanksgiving is the time of the year to spread love and gratitude by getting together with loved ones and pigging out on turkey and potatoes with gravy. With Thanksgiving around the corner, we need to gobble up some thanksgiving fashion with this season's latest looks.

For the hippest and hottest Thanksgiving fashion let's consult the hottest TV Series, Gossip Girl, and review the previous episode (The Magnificent Archibalds. Join me as I check on Gossip Girl's Thanksgiving fashion guide.

Serena and Lily van der Woodsen

Even though she's a mother of two Gossip Girl's characters namely Serena and Eric, Lily van der Woodsen stayed to be a fashion-forward mom. For the Turkey Day, she wore a dress from Hugo Boss with her Brunello Cucinelli trench. Serena sported a top and skirt from Porter Grey and Nine West shoes.

Serena stops by the Waldorf household, where Blair's Thanksgiving traditions are not being properly followed. She wears a Mayle coat and carries a Chanel bag.



For her school dressed-up look, Serena accessorizes her French Toast uniform with a leather vest (shop an option from Mike & Chris for Ron Herman) and boots from Ralph Lauren.



Blair Waldorf
For her favorite holiday, Blair opted for intricate, backless, forest green dress designed by Alexandra Vidal. The pleated bib front is just as cute, as are the Jimmy Choos she chooses. In a later scene, Blair wears a Sretsis coat dress over this look.




Jenny Humphrey

Jenny rocked a plaid dress from Dolce and Gabbana and Nine West boots.

Perhaps one of the greatest things about fall is the wide range of choices in footwear. We can see suedes, leathers, and earthy colors and boots become irresistible during the season.

However, finding that perfect pair of shoes can be difficult and finding that perfect pair of boots can seem nearly impossible. They should fit perfectly on your feet and your legs.

Fashion Cell Phones: The Must-Have Accessory For Every Fashionista

Nothing is constant in the fashion world. What's fashionable now will not be fashionable tomorrow. Fashion trends change from season to season, cell phone trends evolve and change all the time as well. Hence, cell phones can be categorized as fashion accessories nowadays.

Over the years, we've seen cell phones blink, sparkle, light up, and we've even seen them came in different sizes and colors. Some fashionistas and other fashion-forward individuals choose a cell phone without really making a big deal out of ring tones, instant messages or megapixels. Instead they are more concerned with the phone's design and what it looks like.

With all the cell phones sprouting around just like mushrooms, how do we know what's in and what's out? Checkout the following "Fashion Cell Phones" as compiled by 611 Connect site. These fashionable gadgets are not just beautiful to look at but theyalso have the features that you'll probably want and need.

When the flip phones were released, the public went gaga over them. Perhaps, people were fascinated with their slim-clamshell form. Today, slider phones are the new flip phones.

According to 611 connect, even though iPhone are not considered as fashion icon for most people, " iPhone is an elegant and sexy handset in its own right. The combination of high-end features and elegant design makes the iPhone arguably the most popular fashion phone on the market."



Multimedia: Music and Camera

Mobile phones are not just used for making and answering phone calls. Pictures and music are important too.

High Heels: A Disastrous Trend?

When I was a child, I can still remember my Mom would always wear her favorite 3 or 4 inches high heels to gain a little height, have a more appealing silhoutte and improve her posture.

But from my observation on the recent fashion weeks, shoes have become taller with 5 to 6 or even 7-inch heels and platforms. Aside from the height, the shoes have become expensive also. They range from $100 versions sold by Steve Madden to between $600 and $1,500 from designers such as Yves Saint Laurent, Marni, Manolo Blahnik and Christian Louboutin. They come in an various shapes too such as spiky stilettos, tapered cones, sloping wedges and thick wooden posts.

The heels are becoming disastrous to many. During Prada's spring 2009 fashion show, two models fell down on the runway while others stumbled as they walked in high shoes designed by Miuccia Prada.

But instead of rejecting the extreme heels, many women can't seem to get enough of them. Checkout some of the skyscrapers shoes as seen on the runways.
