Actress Leighton Meester

Fashion designer Prabal Gurung’s star is on the rise. He has just been named as one of the 2010 winners of the Ecco Domani Fashion Foundation Awards. Gurung is among the seven lucky designers who will receive $25,000 to go toward their Fall 2010 shows in February. 

Since the launch of his collection in February 2009, fashionistas have fallen in love with the beautiful styles from the former Design Director for Bill Bass. Hollywood has taken notice of his unqiue take with floral designs too, including  actress Demi Moore, who recently wore two of his dresses. However, it was the fashion-forward Gossip Girl Leighton Meester who helped put Gurung on our fashion radar. The lavender brush-painted frock she wore to a benefit at the New York Public Library last November made us stop in our tracks. We love the feminine touches, especially the floral corsage neck, which highlights the dress. So lovely! 

We’re sure that we will be seeing much more from the Nepal designer, especially during New York Fashion Week. Hopefully the young designer will create a capsule line, so that the rest of us can enjoy his dresses. That would be awesome and would make my new year’s! Congratulations to the talented designers!

Nautical-themed necklaces are showing up on fashionistas everywhere this spring. Isla Fisher was one of the first to show off the charming anchor pendant necklace during a memorable dance sequence in her film, Confessions of a Shopaholic. Then our favorite city gal, Leighton Meester’s Blair Waldorf wore a gorgeous anchor necklace with a strand of pearls to add some drama to an afternoon brunch with her fabulous Gossip Girl crowd. The anchor necklace makes a bold statement, so it is best worn with a neutral color, such as white or beige. To emulate the fashion trend, I have found affordable options of the fab pendant. Anchors away!

Leighton Meester for new Reebok line

Our fashion gals from Gossip Girl finally return to TV tonight. Over a month has passed since we have last seen our beloved Blair, Serena, Chuck or Dan. Even though there haven’t been any new episodes, the Upper Eastsiders have been keeping busy working on their other projects. Blake Lively has been promoting her new film, The Private Lives of Pippa Lee, where she plays the title character in her teen years. My other fashionista to watch, Leighton Meester has traded her Christian Louboutins for Reebok high-tops, as seen in the ad above. The actress partnered with Reebok for their new footwear collection, Fly Generation, which features fashion forward styles in bold colors and a sporty silhouette for the urban girl. The city gal shows off the new retro Top Down sneaker, which is priced at $60, and available at Lady Foot Locker Locations this spring. I love the casual and sassy look of high-tops with a cute skirt, don’t you?
