Wonderfully Waldorf

Probably the most blogged about character of the moment (after the Frankenstein that is Perez Hilton era Britney), Gossip Girl's Blair Waldorf is the saving grace of television teen drama.


Blair's wardrobe choices never disappoint. With a closet full of Balenciaga blazers, Marc by Marc Jacob's minidresses, Lanvin ballet flats and Valentino gowns, how could they?

Armored in her preferred choice of preppy yet ladylike chic, she is usually seen to incorporate mismatched pinstripes and plaids, patterned tights and pretty headbands into her daily outfits.


The subtle niceties of her style don't always transcend into her persona. Blair is renowned for her sinister streak and this adds to the mystique of her character. Who doesn't love a mean girl? Especially one whose personal motto is "True friends stab you in the front."

Thanks to the guilty pleasure that is Gossip Girl, when it comes to making an effort in the morning and shopping for new treats, I'm left asking myself "What would Blair wear?"
