Gossip Girl Thanksgiving Fashion Guide

Thanksgiving is the time of the year to spread love and gratitude by getting together with loved ones and pigging out on turkey and potatoes with gravy. With Thanksgiving around the corner, we need to gobble up some thanksgiving fashion with this season's latest looks.

For the hippest and hottest Thanksgiving fashion let's consult the hottest TV Series, Gossip Girl, and review the previous episode (The Magnificent Archibalds. Join me as I check on Gossip Girl's Thanksgiving fashion guide.

Serena and Lily van der Woodsen

Even though she's a mother of two Gossip Girl's characters namely Serena and Eric, Lily van der Woodsen stayed to be a fashion-forward mom. For the Turkey Day, she wore a dress from Hugo Boss with her Brunello Cucinelli trench. Serena sported a top and skirt from Porter Grey and Nine West shoes.


Serena van der Woodsen

Serena stops by the Waldorf household, where Blair's Thanksgiving traditions are not being properly followed. She wears a Mayle coat and carries a Chanel bag.



For her school dressed-up look, Serena accessorizes her French Toast uniform with a leather vest (shop an option from Mike & Chris for Ron Herman) and boots from Ralph Lauren.



Blair Waldorf
For her favorite holiday, Blair opted for intricate, backless, forest green dress designed by Alexandra Vidal. The pleated bib front is just as cute, as are the Jimmy Choos she chooses. In a later scene, Blair wears a Sretsis coat dress over this look.




Jenny Humphrey

Jenny rocked a plaid dress from Dolce and Gabbana and Nine West boots.



Jenny gets ever-so-casual, but ever-so-fashionable, in a cute tee from Kova & T with cameo ring (Tarino Tarantino) and necklace is (Alexis Bittar).



Vanessa Abrams

Vanessa wears a mixture of high and low with a coat from Forever 21 and a silk printed dress from Anna Sui.

Saruel: Você Usaria?

Originária da região norte africana, Marrocos, a saruel (drop-crotch) é uma derivação das calças johdpur e dhoti-pants - modelos com amplo volume entre as pernas, muito utilizadas pelos povos da África e do Oriente Médio (explica José Luis de Andrade, professor de moda do Senac para Revista Manequim).

Ampla e confortável, a calça ou short saruel têm versões em corte alfaiataria, skinny, jeans e em tecidos mais molinhos!!

Sei que a maioria das pessoas torcem o nariz quando se fala de calça dessa modelagem, mas eu não ligo a mínima, pois estou morrendo de amores pela minha!

Só falo uma coisa: deixem o preconceito de lado e experimentem!

Vantagens:
É a calça mais comfortável que já vesti, não deixa o quadril grande coisíssima nenhuma, alonga a silhueta, é uma alternativa fashion e fresquinha para a calça jeans e ainda cria um look despojado que eu, particularmente, adoro!!!

Além disso, ela pode ser usada no dia-a-dia, na praia são ótimas, como também num look mais sofisticado e noturno!!

Ao contrário que muita gente pensa elas ficam mais legais com a parte de cima mais soltinha!

Veja exemplos bacanas!!!
