It's
a bit of a late rant, but I've had it on my mind for a looong time now
and I simply must just get it out of my system. Remeber the episode this
season when they went to visit Yale?
Speaking
of which, it reminds me of the second episode of this season (which
aired in September) when Blair was coming back from the Hamptons with
"the lord." She was in THE orange Marc by Marc Jacobs dress of SS08,
which is so completely recognizable I was surprised they chose this
dress at all. I'm sure a LOT of thought was put into their outfits by a
hoard of stylist, so I don't know what they were thinking.
Serena
had on this pink and white striped blazer that is just absolutely
gorgeous. The design is classic and preppy, while the color and stripes
is pretty and flirty. And I REALLY wanted it. Like seriously. I
immediately went online and looked up Gossip Girl websites trying to
figure out where I can get myself one of those (which frankly, is not one
of my fortes). Finally, I found it labelled as a Ralph Lauren blazer.
Doh! I should've known. It is so obvious now, I wonder why I spent so
much time searching for it to begin with.
Of
course, I then hurried onto the Ralph Lauren website, crossing my
fingers that it'll be from the RL label that is within my price range-
and I couldn't find it! Not deterred, I told myself I'll stop by the RL
store next time and ask if the sales person has it. Before I got myself
there though, I showed it to my cousin who is positvely a RL expert and
he told me that it was a blazer from last season. You
have no idea how disapopinted I was (AM!). WHY would they style the
characters of such a hot TV series in last seasons clothes? It doesn't
make sense. Isn't the whole point of such publicity for labels is to
convince viewers to buy these clothes? How did they think we can buy it
when it's not even available?

Because
it has been publicized as such a stylish and trendy hot TV series
(which I LOVE), I expect to see the latest fashions and style. I was
sorely disappointed in these two instances. I am sure there are lots of
other instances I haven't caught yet. Maybe the sponsors are getting
cheap. Or am I expecting too much?
