12 Days of Christmas with SERENA VAN DER WOODSEN



Oh, Serena. She seems so confused these days about life. But a couple of things always remain: 1) she loves being the sexiest girl in the room and; 2) the lust for adventure.

Serena just has to make a dramatic entrance at any event. Even though her life lately has been in shambles, for New Years Eve she is hoping to go scandal free.

1) a sexy lace dress for New Year's Eve

Scandal free it may be but she still needs a hot outfit and a sexy lace dress is exactly what she is hoping for.


ALEXANDER McQUEEN dress

2) sexy sky high heels

And, of course, with a sexy dress come sexy shoes!


BRIAN ATWOOD Dante leather platform pumps

3) sexy but ladylike earrings

No outfit is complete without corresponding jewellery. Now that Serena is getting older, she prefers the type of jewellery that her mother wears: sexy but classy.


BOUNKIT "Sunburst" earrings (AED 1650, $450 CAD)

4) something that spells out "danger"

But Serena wouldn't be Serena without a little danger and a little rock 'n roll.


VITA FEDE "DO" Ring (AED 760, $207 CAD)

5) Dan

She has already decided: she wants Dan.



6) Nate

Or maybe Nate? We're confused.



7) some glamorous bubbly

Whatever boy ends up with her, they'll be sipping some delicious bubbly.



Moet The Moët & Chandon "Midnight Gold" edition bottle

8) Eat Pray Love

Serena is still in the process of "finding herself." We thing "Eat Pray Love" might help her. She probably saw the movie but hadn't had a chance to read the book yet (too busy being Serena!).



9) a yoga retreat (preferably in Bali)


She has been dying to go on a yoga retreat for the longest time but Blair made her go to Paris instead... And that's where "Eat Pray Love" takes place! Plus, Lily really owes her big!



10) a glamorous but boho caftan

Sure, she'll rock her yoga get up but there is always some time for cocktaols at the beach bar. Serena has always loved boho maxis.


ROBERTO CAVALLI printed silk-georgette kaftan

11) chandelier earrings

She has been borrowing these from her mother Lily who wore them on her wedding day to Rufus. Of course, she won't give them up so Serena is hoping for a pair of her own.


SIMAN TU aqua glass chandelier earrings (AED 1700, $463 CAD)

12) JAVIER BARDEM

We are sure there are some things even Serena can't have. Hmmm, Javier Bardem in "Eat Pray Love." Well, she (and we) can dream, right?

12 Days of Christmas with BLAIR WALDORF



We know Blair's favourite holiday is Thanksgiving: she just can't resist that pie! But she also loves Christmas because any excuse to dress up and receive gifts is sure to make Blair one happy Upper East Sider. We love to fantasize of what it would be like to be Miss Waldorf: a girl that has everything! Well, even though she appears to have everything, there must be something she is coveting. So we made a list: 12 Days of Christmas with Blair Waldorf! We realize this is very geeky indeed, but it sure was fun... Chuck, you better be reading this!

1) Audrey Hepburn's tub sofa as seen in Blair's favourite film Breakfast at Tiffany's



Everyone knows this is Blair's favourite film and even though Dorota is a very talented decorator, she missed out on one important detail.

2) a cat


Blair's beloved cat "Cat" (also named after Breakfast at Tiffany's) now lives in France with her father and she needs someone to hang out with when her and Serena are fighting.

3) large pearl earrings




CHANEL Vintage Gold Tone Round Pearl Earrings (AED 1450)

To be just like her idol Audrey Hepburn, Blair needs large pearl earrings. She also loves Chanel!

4) a fur hat

She will also need a fur topper to complete the Audrey look! She can also use it to play "Anna Karenina" with Chuck...


MUHLBAUER Fur Hat

5) a glamorous hair piece




JENNIFER BEHR "Flora" CombJennifer Behr (AED 950)

Just because she didn't end up dating a Prince, it doesn't mean that she doesn't want to be a Princess. Taking inspiration again from Audrey Hepburn, Blair would love to have a pretty tiara-like hair piece for those dreamy days.

6) a pretty sequin dress for New Years Eve


PHILLIP LIM Dress

Blair needs a pretty party dress for her New Year's Eve party, preferably one that also has a bow!

7) pretty pumps


VALENTINO Pumps

Of course she also needs pretty shoes to go with the dress. These Valentino ones are so Blair: they have both a bow and lace!

8) a new headband


JENNIFER BEHR Velvet Bow Headband (AED 590)

Now that she is in Ivy League school, she is allowed to wear headbands again. Blair is ecstatic! This velvet bow headband matches that Phillip Lim dress so perfectly.

9) a pearl necklace from Eleanor


JOOMI LIM "Save the Queen" Pearl Necklace (AED 1800)

Blair can't get enough of pearls and she is wishing for more. Nothing says "mother/daughter love" like some pretty baubles!

10) a Audrey Hepburn book from Dorota



Blair knows Dorota also shares her fondness for Audrey Hepburn and even though she loves expensive gifts, she would love nothing more from Dorota than to bond over this book.

11) a friendship bracelet from Serena


CHAN LUU bracelet (AED 390)

Blair wishes for the days when her and Serena would finally stop being frenemies. There friendship has grown over the years and she really hopes that they can solidify their relationship and exchange friendship bracelets.

12) a antique brooch from Chuck


VINTAGE Gold Bow Brooch (AED 590)

Well, to be honest, what she really wants from Chuck is that engagement ring that he lost in Prague. But now that they are "friends," it would be highly inappropriate. However, she still hopes for a meaningful gift: hopefully something antique, one-of-a-kind and with a bow!

Next week: Serena!
