Gossip Girl




Here are pictures of the two new bracelets I added to my Etsy boutique this past weekend. When designing these pieces I was strongly inspired by... dare I say it... Gossip Girl. Yes, the books that have been turned into a TV show about beautiful rich teens who attend a private school in New Yorks Upper East side and have better hair and wardrobes than most working adults. I am not a teenager and I have already seen my generations television teen saga Beverly Hills 90210 (or as all the cool kids refer to it, 90210). However, I can not help but be infatuated with this show because of the beautiful clothes and accessories that these kids wear in every episode. Even when they are wearing their private school uniforms it is done in such a way to let every characters personality shine through all of the navy and plaid. Realistic? Not likely, but that is what keeps most people watching shows like Gossip Girl. The fantasy, beautiful people, fabulous clothes and the most important ingredient in a show about rich teens, the DRAMA. The two lead female characters Serena and Blair create or are dragged into more emotional chaos than a 45 year old on their 4th marriage with 7 stepchildren. And they do it all while looking fabulous, which is why Serena and Blair were the inspiration for my newest bracelets.
Ahhh, youth.
