Blair Warldorf is my favourite character in Gossip Girl. I love her style. The recent picture of Leighton Meester wearing a millefeuille of red taffeta got me just a little excited for season four. The Oscar de la Renta dress is so glamourous, I can't wait to know Blair's occasion.
Layering and ruffles always make for a feminine style. You do run the risk of spilling into meringue territory, but done well, a bouffant dress can make you feel and look a million dollars. Marchesa in particular are famous for such creations. Their dresses epitomises girly layering. And you simply cannot think of a layered dress without thinking of Carrie Bradshaw's Versace dress of a thousand layers in Paris featured in the last episode of Sex and the City.
For a more affordable option, H&M's Garden Collection this past summer featured a fabulous ruffle style dress made from recycled materials. Who'd have thought old trash could turn into something so elegant? The dress came in red and cream, (I snapped up the cream one), and although it's sold out in store, you could probably get you hands on one on Ebay.
