The Phenomenon of Gossip Girl – Then and Now
Gossip Girl here, your one and only source into the scandalous lives of Manhattan's elite... And who am I? That's one secret I'll never tell. You know you love me. XOXO, GG” In honour of the New Gossip girl reboot on HBO Max and Crave (if you’re Canadian like me), I wanted to bring awareness to the cultural reset that was and is Gossip Girl. In this blog I will not be sharing the fashion in Gossip Girl due to the fact I will soon be doing a whole separate blog dedicated to that. I am currently writing this blog while listening to the GG soundtrack to get some inspo about the 2007 major hit that is/was “Gossip Girl.”

3 Holiday Gift INSPO Guides

Christmas and the Holiday Season is fast approaching, and I have been seeing many gift guides floating around social media. I have put together 3 different gift guides to help you figure out what to give, or what to ask for yourself!  There’s one for a person who is very chic, one for someone who loves the Y2K and 2000s aesthetic, and one for the person who is Gossip Girl obsessed. 

I’ve included pictures for reference and linked the products where possible (where to get these products will depend on where you live.)  If you don’t celebrate the holidays you can keep these things in mind for your birthday, or whatever else you celebrate! 

Chic Gift INSPO Guide

  1. Lauren Conrad Beauty Book (such a pretty book for display and it has many great beauty tips from a 2000s icon) 
  2. Lauren Conrad Style Book (similar to the above but focuses more on style) 
  3. Lessons from Madame Chic (essential for anyone who loves Paris and the chic Parisian lifestyle)
  4. Fuzzy Pillows (cozy and cute room decor)
  5. Gold and marble tray (can be found on Amazon or at Target). This is a perfect way to display your perfumes, cosmetics or jewelry. I have this beside my bed and it gives gold contrast to my white cabinets.
  6. YSL Gift Set (the perfect way to explore a YSL perfume and lipstick)
  7.  Too Faced Born This Way eyeshadow palette (every chic person needs a GO-TO eyeshadow makeup palette)
  8. Initial Sleek Phone Case (a phone Case that can go with every outfit)
  9. GUESS Black Tote Bag (everybody needs a big tote bag)
  10. Little Book of Dior (great room decor; cheaper than big coffee table books)
  11. White Knit Lounge set (look cute in lounge wear while watching a Christmas movie!)
  12. Sakura Christian Dior Perfume (a nice light rose scent that comes in a really nice Dior Box, perfect for decor and storing makeup. A win win!) (*Can’t link this*)
  13. Chanel Lip Gloss and Chanel Makeup. (Chanel makeup doesn’t necessarily have to break the bank but can feel very luxurious… perfect gift. Plus the Chanel shopping bags can be perfect room decor.) 
  14. Rare Beauty Highlighter (sparkle this Christmas!)
  15. Little Book Of Chanel (see 10.)
  16. A Light up Mirror 
  17. Gold Hoops (You can get these anywhere jewelry is sold. An essential.)

Y2K/2000s INSPO Gift Guide

  1. Jessica Simpson Book (She spills all the 2000s tea. Perfect for a 2000s pop culture lover.) 
  2. Lancome Juicy Tubes Lip Gloss (The 2000s MUST HAVE.)* Can be bought at most high end makeup retailers)
  3. Mini Baguette Bags (major Mean Girls energy)
  4. Toggle Jewelry 
  5. 2000s TV Shows and Movies on DVD (I recommend The OC, Laguna Beach and One Tree Hill)
  6. Velour Tracksuits (I have seen some great options at Forever 21, Fashion Nova, PLT, and SKIMS
  7. Vintage 2000s Sunglasses (Etsy, Depop, The REAL REAL have great choices)
  8. Victoria’s Secret Perfumes
  9. CD Player (picture is from Amazon)
  10. (and 14.) 2000s Magazines! (You can get these in thrift stores and eBay. Find a magazine with your favourite 2000s celeb on the cover.)
  11. Mean Girls Makeup Palette from StoryBook Cosmetics. (IDEAL FOR A ‘MEAN GIRLS’ FAN)
  12. MAC single eyeshadow (such a throwback)
  13. Halter Top (a 2000s essential that can be found at many different stores)
  14. (See 10.)

GOSSIP GIRL FAN INSPO GIFT GUIDE

  2. Giving major Blair Vibes with this Audrey Heburn poster (can be found on Etsy)
  3. Cake tray with cover– for all your Gossip Girl inspired brunches and breakfasts (Amazon)
  4. Bow Blouses (A Blair wardrobe essential. Can be found at Zara or Amazon. The blouse pictured is from Amazon.)

  6. Chanel Makeup. (Gives the gift of luxury and makes you feel like you live on the Upper East side with the rest of the group.)
  7. See 6.
  8. Ever since they took GG off Netflix, GG fans have been needing it. Give the gift of Chuck and Blair, Serena, Nate, and Dan on DVD. (Found on Amazon or your local DVD store.)
  9. Gossip Girl Magazines (The cast did many photoshoots and it would be a great idea for a fan to send them a bunch of GG cast magazines. Can be found on eBay.)
  10. The Gossip Girl Series Books. (A different storyline and plot gives you a whole new experience. I bought mine at a local used bookstore. Can also be found on eBay, Amazon and other bookstores.)
  11. Prada Sign (just like the one Lily van der Woodsen has (Etsy)

12. Silk Sheets for your beauty rest
