I Like Your Style…

Louise Roe!

You may have seen her on this season’s The City, but Louise is no reality television star. Louise is known for being a fashion reporter from London, but has since relocated to Los Angeles to host her new fashion makeover show Plain Jane. I have somehow managed to wrap Itsyowyow into a London Invasion theme this year, but this was just a coincidence. Louise is one classy lady who possesses a charismatic personality and tops it all off with a dynamic sense of style.

Teen Vogue Reader’s Choice Beauty Awards

Every year Teen Vogue asks their readers to choose the best products out of a number of categories ranging from best lip gloss to best foundation, to best lotion. I’m always interested in this list because I’m curious to see if the product I use made the cut. This year, one of them did and that is Dove’s Go Fresh body wash. Last year, I worked with Dove and The CW to promote their “Gossip Girl: Real NYC Stories Revealed” during Gossip Girl episodes and as a reward, they sent me their newly released Go Fresh body wash and soap, which I still have. It’s a big bottle alright? Anyways, I’m no longer working with them since the segment is over, but the product is really that great. It makes me smell like nectarines and white ginger all day. My words not theirs. Teen Vogue usually saves some room in their advertisey magazine for these results, but look! I have them already so here ya go:

XOXO

Blair: Why aren’t you in Europe?

Chuck: I was in Paris only to get your favorite macaroons from Pierre Herme.

Blair: And Germany?

Chuck: To pick up your favorite fall stockings. You know how I adore them.

Blair: What are you doing here then?

Chuck: You were right. I was a coward running away again. Everywhere I went, you caught up with me. I had to come back.

Blair: I want to believe you, but I can’t. You’ve hurt me too many times.

Chuck: You can believe me this time.

Blair: Oh…that’s it?

Chuck: I love you too.

Blair: But, can you say it twice? No, I’m serious… say it twice.

Chuck: I love you, I love you, that’s three. Four. I love you.

(End Scene!)

SWOOON!!! I’m four months too late watching the previous season finale of Gossip Girl, but I made up this whole to do list on the airport today and I figured, this needed to be checked off tonight. I never really liked the idea of Blair and Chuck together, but I kid you not when he finally said I love you, I literally punched the air with my fist. [super hero style]

PS: The new season starts Monday, September 14th

PPS: …I’m BAAAAAAACK
