The New New York: The New Kids on the Block Part 1

Sex and the City may have dominated the New York streets and style stakes for 6 years but now there's some new kids on the block.

Drum roll please!

In part 1 we have the effortlessley stylish Serena Van Der Woodsen, gorgeous but bitchy Blair Waldorf and the girl from the wrong side of the tracks, Brooklyn to be exact, Jenny Humphrey. Check out their style here:

Rich and Skinny Jeans from starbrand.tv shop: $315.00

Serena has the ability to mix expensive and inexpensive pieces. She may wash her hair with $90 shampoo but she knows how to shop and spot a bargain! She has the effortless look of always looking great. She even got picked as a model for Waldorf designs over Blair from the designer herself, who just so happens to be Blair's mother. Her eclectic fashion sense gives her a laid back feel amongst a sea of headbands and sets her apart from the rest, along with her trademark giggle.

Blair

Anne Klein Skimmers from starbrand.tv shop: $82.95

 

Anchor Necklace from starbrand.tv shop: $100

 

Nine West Peep Toe Pumps from starbrand.tv shop: $92.00

 

Calvin Klein Sleevless Dress from starbrand.tv shop: $148.00

Theory Black Shorts from Shopbop: $170.00

 

Silk Headband from starbrand.tv shop: $90.00

Catherine Malandrino Blouse from starbrand.tv shop: $295.00

 

Beandd Black Tote from starbrand.tv shop: $1390

 

Norma Kamali Swimsuit from starbrand.tv shop: $275.00

 

Blair favours headbands, the bigger the better. She's often seen in her mother's designs and she wears them perfectly. Her hair is always immaculate and her style resembles Audrey Hepburn from 'Breakfast at Tiffany's', which is her favourite film.

 

Jenny

Marc by Marc Jacobs Jeans from Shopbop: $188.00

 

Petit Batau Tank from starbrand.tv shop: $30.00

 

Freddy and Ma Clutch from starbrand.tv shop: $225.00

 

Kimberley Baker Flower Ring from starbrand.tv shop: $135.00

 

Goldenbleu Purse from starbrand.tv shop: $725.00

 

 Jenny may be poor (which makes me wonder why, exactly, she has clothes and bags over $100. She's a budding fashion designer, loves her sewing machine and often makes her own clothes. Her style is somewhat quirky but she longs to fit in, even if it means stealing a friends mother's one of a kind Valentino dress.

 

So what do you think of Serena, Blair and Jenny's style? Love it or loath it?

Of all three I'd have to vote Serena.. but they all have such polished looks which Im generally not such a lover of. Of course there is a time and place for polished and I know that these girls come from cash, but I think it'd be good to see them wearing more age appropriate or street type styles... or am I missing the point? I thing perhaps

and on another note $160 for a pair of socks?? talk about disposable incomes!
