Outrageously and mistakenly, I delayed watching this week's episode of Gossip Girl in favour of football, choosing to watch the Manchester derby. I spend the whole 90 minutes bored out my head as neither team showed a glimmer of hope or displayed any exciting play. After the match, I just thought - "I wish I'd just watched Gossip Girl".
"Sex in a limo.... we've literally gone full circle."
In contrast to that lacklustre match, were the games occurring on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. The declaration that Blair and Chuck were 'enemies with benefits' was hilarious. I don't think it will be too long before we see a whole hearted reconciliation between the two.
Even though the idea that Chuck was hiding underneath the covers up to no good while Serena was sat on the same bed talking to Blair makes me feel icky, I want them to get back together more than anything. And Blair just looks amazing as she sleeps - obviously I know she doesn't really sleep like this! But she has amazing nightwear, lingerie and blindfolds to sleep in. Meanwhile I'm sleeping in flannel pyjamas! However, sleeping in a blindfold does give you such a good night's sleep. Recently it's been a struggle to wake up between wearing an eye mask, having black out curtains that are awesome and also investing in an aromatherapy sleep spray for my pillow!

(PS: I worked with this model, Karina on a shoot for work - she was amazing and absolutely lovely)!
*Mary Green at Fig Leaves, Dream Embroidered Eye Mask, £20
I think this week's fashion highlight was definitely the sleepwear, especially Chuck Bass in Blair's nightgown - the way it was just far too small and the way the shoulder detailing stood up was hilarious!
Apart from that (hehe), this week's fashion didn't thrill me. I wasn't a fan of Blair's oriental style Ralph Lauren halter neck gown she wore for the ballet. Serena's Zuhair Murad was just overly lacy - the top half I loved and the colour really suited her, however the sheer lace bottom half of the gown was just a no no and looked more like something Taylor Momsen 'trying too hard to be the new Courtney Love' would wear in this weird, vile overkill Gothic stage she's going through at the moment. I think my favourite gown was actually Juliet's J.Mendel dress - the mix of nudes and blue was really lovely. If I could get away spending over £1000 on dresses and taking them back all the time, I can't promise I wouldn't!
Just when Juliet seemed to be changing her mind about taking down Serena when there was a hint of Nate giving her a second chance, vile Vanessa reared her ugly head and ruined everything. How she's bagged the real life Chuck Bass I've no idea! Hopefully she's not as annoying as her character off screen then it's semi justifiable! I'm not impressed with the alliance of Vanessa, Juliet and Little J - I know I adore Blair, but really if someone 'banishes you' and you dare not obey it, then what chance do you really have of taking someone down?! I'd still like to properly know the background story of Juliet so I can stop cooking up stories and scenarios in my head!
Some more style inspiration this week on the interior decor side of things. In the final scenes where Blair and Chuck sat on the bench drinking champagne and edging towards a rekindling of their romance, again they sipped from the gorgeous square shaped champagne flutes. I remember seeing these back in last season at a Thanksgiving episode and they were used in last week's War at the Roses episode also for Blair's birthday party.
When I was younger, I used to work in a gorgeous gift shop in the small village I live in. I basically wanted pretty much everything that came in to the store on the costume jewellery side of things and mentally decorated my house to be with all the interior goods. I could've bought so many cushions, throws and vases. The glassware we stocked was the amazing LSA polish glass, long before the likes of Selfridges and John Lewis got their hands on the brand.

I've scoured the web and found the LSA Olya range, which is still available online - it's definitely the closest I can find to the Waldorf's glassware.
