Gossip Girl: Serena’s Style
If you haven’t noticed the overtaking of GossipGirl’s iSL(tm), you may just be living under a virtual rock. The CW took it’s hit TV show, “GossipGirl,” created a SIM iSL(tm), and hundreds of avatars were born in New York’s Upper East Side. In the six months since I was born there, I have watched avatars with the last name “GossipGirl” enter the modeling world, swarm parties, and buy-out stores. Currently, two “GossipGirl’s” are competing in Instyle’s Next Fashion Icon (EllieShea and Channen) and two have modeling contracts with SLFaces (myself and JennyH). CW’s GossipGirl even inspired a line of jewelry at Caroline’s Jewelry. In the SIM itself, major brands have opened-up stores, such as Calla and Tuli.
Anyway, now that I’ve filled you in on the whole GossipGirl thing (which, by the way, was inspired by a popular series of books) let me get to the fashion! With new episodes of the show beginning to air on April 21st, I felt the need to try a take of my favorite character’s, Serena, style. After looking at some images of her on http://www.seenon.com/celebrities/photo/gossip-girl-on-the-set/, I got busy!
The first look is inspired by the Upper East Side prep-school uniform. Serena has a unique sense of style, and usually pairs her uniform with short jackets and boots, to help her stand out from the rest. I paired my uniform with the “Oxido Waistcoat” from Emery and the “Buckled Mid-Calf” boots from Paper Couture.
To take on the streets of New York, Serena usually goes for the stylish, yet comfy approach. I paired the same boots from Paper Couture with some skinny-leg jeans from Relika, and was set to take on the city.
Whew! While New York is the city that never sleeps, this GossipGirl is tired! For more info on the clothes pictured, check out below!
Xoxo,

The Gossipgirls are shaping up to be some of the most influential members in SL and I can’t help but feel a wee bit of pride about it all. CJ Carnot and myself actually created the avatars that have been used for in world appearances and the various signage throughout the sim and the website. I personally adore the style of all the characters and think you did a great job with this post. Look forward to seeing what all the GG’s have to offer SL in the future.

ohh yay! thanx gogolita! i didn’t even know about that site
well, it’s so easy to understand the reason why Gossipgirl’s outfits are so popular among teens and not only teens, but adults even: they are very well designed, the combination of colours, fabrics, high fashion, it all seduces most people.
About the series I wouldn’t know, sorry, I don’t watch it. I just absolutely love the outfits.
