She's looking great lately. Love her Blair getups!!

i really love that they are using such bright and vivid colors for her blair outfits. she looks just as amazing in these warm summer colors as she did in all of the deep reds and winter greens throughout gossip girl's last season.

^ I love that as well.. the bright red, orange, and yellow looks so beautiful, albeit costume like, but that is Blair's style.. and I love how it looks against Chuck's bright orange coat..

I also love the checkered vest under her cape in the third picture and the little white polka dots on her tights.. so cute!

^ someone in the g-g thread mentioned how cute it is that blair's headband matches chuck's coat. it really is. and the bright colors always do look stunning on her.

yes, her tights! i love them, too.

^ ditto about those tights!

You know her as Blair Waldorf, but Leighton Meester is also breaking into the movie business, and following in the footsteps of Lauren Conrad and other TV stars by launching a fashion line! Here’s Leighton’s interview with Nylon Magazine …
gossipgirlinsider.com

Nylon: In Remember the Daze, you worked with a director who was your age. How was that?
Leighton Meester: It was awesome! She is young, but very, very smart. Jess made the set a little more casual and fun; it was less like work. Definitely the most fun work I’ve done, ever.
Nylon: It’s about high school kids in 1999 … you were in high school in 1999… any similarities?
Leighton Meester: Not really. I went to Beverly Hills High - yeah, I really did. I guess I was kind of friends with everybody and NOT popular. But in this movie, there are much higher stakes than in normal high school.
Nylon: Were you a model in high school? My friend swears you used to walk on the runways during New York and L.A. Fashion Week.
Leighton Meester: It definitely wasn’t me! No way! No way, no way, and I don’t think I would ever do something like that in the future.
Nylon: What about designing? Do you think you might want to try having your own clothing line?
Leighton Meester: Absolutely. I would love to do my own thing, and see where that could take me. I love fashion, and sometimes I just feel like if I could only do and make whatever I wanted, it would make so much of a statement and really express who I am. So yes, in the future I would love to do a clothing label or work with a clothing label.
Nylon: Any designers you’d want to work with?
Leighton Meester: I love Missoni and DVF, I’ve heard she’s an incredible woman and I’m dying to meet her. And I like Miu Miu, Alberta Ferreti, and you know, I really love Julie Haus.
Nylon: Give us some advice: How should someone start being an actor?
Leighton Meester: There’s no right way of getting into it. I didn’t grow up in a Hollywood family, I mean, I’m from Florida, but I knew that it’s what I wanted to do. I met a manager and he said, come to New York and try auditioning. So that’s how I did it, but you could do anything - do it in college, be in plays. And just experience everything, don’t doubt yourself, and don’t lose sight of what you’re really trying to be an actor for, and hopefully it’s the right reasons - because you’re inspired, and you love it, and you have a good head on your shoulders. Don’t try to be anything but yourself, and find success as yourself, you know? Otherwise, you won’t be happy.
Nylon: Give us some more advice: If someone sees you on the street, what should they do? Say hi?
Leighton Meester: Of course! Go for it! I mean, I’m not gonna like run away or anything!

^ she seems like a sweetie, maybe she still visits her hometown in Fl? My grandmother lives there, maybe I will see her sometime, that would be cool!

[jewelbox]

Yes, a Blair fashion line would be much better than a Leighton line
