Yes, I do know that Summer hasn’t arrived yet–but be mindful that the fashion industry is always a season ahead (hmmm…makes the term ‘fashionably late’ sort of ironic, huh?)
Here’s a sneak peak at what Fall 2008 has in store from our friend’s at Harper’s Bazaar:
No longer am I a closet Gossip Girl watcher–now I openly admit to watching the 60 minute weekly drama session on none other than the CW network. In fact, I am even going to admit on a public forum that I also pre-ordered the complete first season on DVD yesterday. Ha!
But what makes this show even more watchable other than the non-stop seemingly-too-much-for-teens drama is the immense cuteness of Leighton Meester and Blake Lively. Check out the cuteness and then scroll down for how to get the look.
Get Leighton’s Look: The key to Leighton’s look is gorgeous skin from head-to-toe. Check out previous posts on skin here and here. Your makeup will look that much more fab when you start with a flawless canvas. Leighton’s dewy glow is also thanks to creme formula makeup. Try:
