Leighton Meester is doing for blush what Blair Waldorf did for the headband; the perfectly pink cheek is becoming her signature. At last night’s Swarovski-hosted book launch for Gossip Girl costume designer Eric Daman’s You Know You Want It: Style-Inspiration-Confidence, the show’s star placed the happy hue on her apples and dragged it outward toward [...]

From the woman who brought you “bangs over Botox” comes another money-saving beauty trick to keep you on trend and out of the red: hair bands. Suki Duggan of Donsuki Townhouse Salon has recently advocated using a strip of your own hair to get the look popularized by Gossip Girl’s Blair Waldorf, without the unlimited [...]

Gossip Girl’s Vanessa, and her set of ultra outrageous (and natural looking!) hair extensions.
