Today is the 10th Anniversary of arguably the most fashionable series to ever hit our screens – We break down how and where you shop like a Gossip Girl in 2017
This week marks a decade since Blair Waldorf and Serena Vanderwoodson came into our lives, increased our shopping addiction and changed our wardrobes forever!
Gossip Girl broke every fashion boundary mixing patterns and textures and even managed to turn red cotton tights in to a status symbol.
The Gossip Girl leading lady’s modernised prints of the 60s, 70s, and 80s from tartan, to polka dot and hounds tooth whilst carrying the most delicious arm candy from Chanel, Dior and Hermes whose designs were front and centre in every episode.
Open for Vintage, the luxury vintage and preloved designer site provides us with endless Gossip Girl inspiration from tailored jackets, silk scarves, Birkin bags and show-stopping dresses so we can keep dressing our upper east side alter egos.
Founded just over a year ago, the vintage emporium showcases a mouth-watering display of over 10,000 unique pieces sourced from finest designer boutiques around the world. The handbag collection is enough to make even Miss Waldorf weak at the knees.
Stepping into autumn, we are ready to make a beeline for our trophy winter coat which will become an extra layer of skin for us the next five months. Unfortunately purchasing your trusty winter coat on the high street often results in seeing multiple versions of yourself everywhere you go, and so sites like Open for Vintage help in setting you apart from the crowd, with only one of every style. Would Blair and Serena ever turn up in the same coat?… Never! Our favourite blonde and brunette duo encouraged us to be bold with our colour choices and showed us how to perfectly nail military chic.
Gossip Girl immaculately fused classic with contemporary style so much so if filmed black and white you would believe it was from another era. Incorporating vintage elements into your 2017 wardrobe helps to keep your look effortless and timeless like your favourite NYC glitterati.
