Gossip Girl Style

Along with the 3 million other teenagers who tune in to Gossip Girl once a week, I for one am one of them. Watching Serena, Blair and Jenny run around in stilettos and Anna Sui warms my heart like chocolate does for the hungry. Its not just the storylines, but their style which attracts me to watch it.

Serena is the typically blonde bombshell who throws anything and everything(Chanel to Ralph Lauren)on and looks amazing. Based in Kate Moss, she fits the profile with every guy stopping to stare.

Blair Wardorf is the personification of sophisticated with tweed jackets and fitted blazers, she works the mature look without looking too much. I love her pumps and random tight combos, which only Blair could pull off.

Lastly there is Jenny Humphrey, fabulously chic in her little get ups, she works Marc Jacobs and bejewelled numbers with bows to match all with a touch of edge.

So, which Gossip Girl are you? xoxo V

Mimi Loves The Lipstick Jungle

I was so elated to hear about the TV debut of one of my favorite reads, The Lipstick Jungle. I love this show, now this is coming from a girl who seriously never watches T.V. I only sit down for Project Runway to be honest and catch Ugly Betty online (www.ABC.com) and now The Lipstick Jungle (www.NBC.com) . I have to say it's not as witty as Sex & The City but it's still fabulous. Love the clothes, love the make-up and love the issues they touch from infidelity to running your own fashion line.Victory (played to the T by Lindsay Price) steals my heart! Maybe it's because we're exactly alike. Who's your fave? -Mimi

The Haute Insider: What We're Talking About-PROJECT RUNWAY SEASON 4

Rami knows the female form, and I can sense that he has the ability to dress any woman. He pays attention to detail and really focuses on each challenge, from what I have seen so far. I'm so happy for him, and proud, that he is doing what he loves. I'm sure it is a lot of work, but in the long run, he will feel so accomplished. I can't wait to see more of his work on PR season 4.

I actually really love Elisa's outlook on life. It seems as if she has gone through a lot and is really trying to love and enjoy life. I have also loved her color choices so far on the show. Elisa seems like she would be a really great friend.

Steve makes me feel at ease for some reason. I love his sense of classicism and elegance. On the show, I would wear everything I've seen so far. Lovely and amazing work! Any woman would look fabulous and would be respected if he was dressing them. I really want to see more of his fashion designs as well as his interior decorating.

Thank God for Tim Gunn! Finally someone voices what I always try to tell people. We have become a nation of slobs and I hate it. It's great to hear that he shops or has shopped at Banana Republic, because I do as well. The clothes from that store always fit me very well. Every pair of pant fits well from BR, and that is a lot to say for a woman with a larger lower body, in proportion to my upper body. Tim Gunn is amazing! He gives great advice and adds a certain edge to Project Runway.

I encourage everyone to watch this personal video starring Mr. Gunn.

Lagerfeld Confidential: a movie that will document the life of KARL LAGERFELD, by Rodolphe Marconi, is said to be magnificent! We get a peek inside the "Chrome Hearts" lover and his glamorous life.
The Lipstick Jungle Candace Bushnell's bestseller, after Sex and The City, is going to become a TV show. This is by far one of my favorite chick lit novels, portraying NYC's most powerful women trying to make it in "The Lipstick Jungle." I'm excited about watching Victory, Nico and Wendy come alive on TV.
The Little Black Book of Style is on the shelves. Nina Garcia is one of my favorite judges on Project Runway (I love how she just makes everyone feel bad for their own good) I love, love, love her new book! This tiny wonder is filled with editor's secrets and helpful hints on how to develop your own personal style. Remember what Gwen says, "Style is Style, Fashion is Fashion, Girl you've got style." Look out for our complete review on the Little Black Book of Style coming soon. xM

Must-See TV

Reality television is taking over our lives; we must submit to this simple fact. And fashion is getting in on the "real" action with a host of series featuring high-profile fashionistas and wannabe style stars.

• The new SoapNet series, The Fashionista Diaries, will feature 6 fashion assistants at Flirt! Cosmetics, CosmoGirl! magazine (replacing Jane Magazine; the first 6 episodes will feature Jane, with the assistants moving to CosmoGirl!. The closure will be featured on the show) and fashion PR house Seventh House PR. It will chronicle the ups and downs and hectic schedule of fashion assistants as they plan a fashion show and afterparty for Charlotte Ronson during New York Fashion Week. It premieres August 1 on SoapNet.

• Kimora Lee Simmons is no stranger to the camera and premiering August 5 on the Style Network, you will get a close-up look at the supermodel and mogul as she works at her multi-billion dollar company, Baby Phat, takes care of her two young daughters and lives the fab life. Kimora: Life in the Fab Lane, should be a riotous showing of overtop glitz and glam, much of what Simmons is known for.
