Gossip Girl Season 3 premieres TONIGHT!

I love Gossip Girl, its one of my favourite “western” tv shows (I’m more of a Taiwanese tv show person…). Even though some can argue there is no real plot, I still love watching it to relieve myself of schooltime stress.

Anyways, season 3 premieres tonight on the CW and CTV (in Canada), but since I do not have cable, I will have to wait until tomorrow when the episode is uploaded on the CTV website.

However, to celebrate the start of a new season, I present to you the frugal imitation of Blake Lively’s wardrobe!

Remember this look? Personally, I LOVE it. Its one of my favourite looks on the entire show. Here, Blake Lively (aka Serena Vanderwoodsen) is wearing a Ralph Lauren Collection blazer, Rich & Skinny jeans and Michael Kors knee high boots. Just the Ralph Lauren blazer must have been thousands of dollars, money I definitely don’t have.

But here I’m going to show you how you can re-create this look at a fraction of the original cost! Here is how…

Abercrombie & Fitch pinstriped blazer – $79.90 CAD

Abercrombie & Fitch top $15.90

Aldo boots – $100 (or any tall black boots you can find around the house)

And remember that Deux Lux handbag I bought yesterday? Well now is the time it comes in handy.

Then grab any pair of blue jeans that you have lying around in your closet.

Add some long wavy hair and a touch of gloss and mascara and you’re all set!

New tote purchase!

I bought a new Deux Lux bag today from Urban Outfitters! I saw this when I went downtown a few days ago, but I didn’t end up buying it because I felt it was kind of expensive. But I kept thinking about it for the past few days and today I finally went and bought it.

It is the perfect school bag because it is made of a very soft material, comfortable to carry, does not soil easily and most importantly, its HUGE. I would not recommend this bag to anyone under 5’5 because its that big. It also has the option to be used as a crossover bag in case my arms get tired from carry all the textbooks.

It comes in brown, mustard, black and teal. I was trying to decide between the black and the teal, but I ended up with the black because it matches everything.

At the Kingston Urban Outfitters location, there are no more black ones left, but there is one mustard one as well as 2 teal ones. Grab them while they last!
