Soooo... I have something to admit that might make you lose a little bit of respect for me: I've watched the entire first season of Gossip Girl. Not only am I waaayyy too old to be watching that shit, it's just kind of an embarrassing admission. But I will tell you *why* I watch Gossip Girl, and it's actually a decent reason: I watch it for the costume design.
Laugh if you must, consider it the equivalent of someone reading Playboy for the articles, but it's the truth. I have a background in costume design and there are some shows, however craptacular, that I watch merely for the clothes. Cashmere Mafia is another example; I love Pat Field and I think she's amazing at putting things together, and I stand by that even as I admit that some of her choices are totally insane and no one in her right mind would wear half of that stuff out on the street. Hey, I live in New York and worked in theater, so I know from crazy dressing.
But back to GG... Blair Waldorf's wardrobe is entirely covetable, and I recently had a more-than-slight obsession with finding this robe:
Rumors went around that it was Oscar de la Renta, but I could find it no place (his sleepwear is incredibly hard to find online), so I am still totally lusting after it. If anybody has any tips on where I can find something similar, give a holler. I am particularly enamored of the sleeves.
Girl, whatever! You know you want Dan and Serena to end up together. Don't even try to front! I'll let you know if I see your robe out and about on Lincoln Rd.
