outfit inspired by blair waldorf's wedding dress

I was very pleased with the series finale of Gossip Girl. In my opinion, it was the perfect ending to my favorite show. (Read a recap of the finale here.) Gossip Girl has been known for its fashion ever since it first aired six years ago, and the finale did not disappoint! Below is an outfit inspired by Blair's Elie Saab wedding dress.

I could see this outfit worn to a fun party! I wanted to bring in Upper East Side shopping by choosing a headband from Bendels and strappy heels from Bergdorfs. Oh, am I going to miss this show now that it's over! Good thing it's on Netflix. :)

summer shows

Like I mentioned yesterday, I love to watch summer shows. There is something about being outside all day and then coming in to a cool house (apartment?) and watching TV. It is the perfect, lazy way to end a day in the summer. What I'll be watching:

Pretty Little Liars

After that intense January season finale, I can't wait for this show to pick up again.

So You Think You Can Dance

One of my favorite shows! Being a dancer, I get (slightly) obsessed with this show. My best friend is the same way, so you can bet we'll be rehashing every step of every dance this summer!

The Bachelorette

Ah, yes. No summer show list would be complete without it. It's something my friends and I get together to watch Monday nights. Also, Emily is adorable and she's from NC (like me!)

Keeping Up With The Kardashians

Yup, you read that right. I don't really watch the spin-offs, but I like the main show. The fashion never disappoints, either, plus Kourtney's baby Mason is oh-so-cute.

Gossip Girl

Gossip Girl is one of my favorite shows. I've been a devoted fan since the season one premiere and still watch every episode to this day. It gives me a nice break on Monday evenings to immerse myself in the drama and the fashion.

Tonight's episode...where do I begin? Georgina bothers me (doesn't she always?), Nate is always stuck in the woes of trying to date someone new (I still love Nate, though), Chuck is off following Blair (though isn't the fact he has a dog adorable?), and Serena is kind of being a little selfish. Oh, and Blair and Dan kissed. What?! That upsets me. I've been rooting for Chuck and Blair since season one! Hopefully things will turn out with Chuck and Blair eventually.

I can't believe I just devoted a whole blog post to ranting about the episode. I could go on, but I'll save you from that. If there are any other GG fans out there, what is your take on the episode? Do you think Chuck and Blair will finally be together without something getting in the way?
