Leighton Meester Named New Face of Herbal Essences
Newly single Leighton Meester has landed herself a brand new gig! The Gossip Girl star has been named the face of Herbal Essences. Leighton will be the haircare company’s global ambassador!

She tells WWD, “My first memory is those iconic [Herbal Essences] commercials back in the day. My mom used it, too.”

Leighton Meester Splits from Boyfriend

We wonder if Leighton will be featured in one of those hysterical shower scene commercials! “I try different looks and I’m happy that I can achieve them and not look like a clown. I like to have fun with hair and makeup,” Meester says.

Leighton thinks it’s important not to stress about your looks all the time. She says, “I’m lucky because expressing my personal style is fun and I have fun with it. Everyone should love their own look. Don’t copy; do your own thing.”

We can’t help but copy her—she’s always so stylish!
Gossip Girls Love Hammitt Bags
We always keep one eye on whatever Blake Lively and Leighton Meester are wearing on Gossip Girl. They always seem to be ahead of the curve on fashion, whether it be their boots, adorable winter coats, and accessories.

And the latest GG-inspired accessory has to be their Hammitt handbags! We spotted Jessica Szohr walking through Manhattan shooting a scene for the show, carrying the Westwood Leopard bag. The style is perfect for the fall season, which has reintroduced us back into animal prints.

All of Hammitt’s leathers and suede are imported from Italy and each hide is hand-dyed in an organic vegetable dye, which allows the rich color to run all the way through each piece. The bags are finished with Swiss-made zippers and 24-karat gold plated hardware. Prices range from $250 to $875 and average $675.

Gossip Girl Clothing Line Dropped By Target
We were this close to being able to dress like the characters on Gossip Girl, and now we’re back to square one! Target has decided to scrap plans for a GG-inspired clothing line.

Anna Sui, who is also a featured designer on the show, was slated to create the line. But Target execs decided they didn’t want to be associated with the racy show anymore.

A source close to the deal tells The New York Daily News, “One of Target’s top executives got nervous about being that closely associated with the show, given the (debauchery) its characters get into.”

A launch party had already been planned as well, and Gossip Girl producers are now furious that it’s been canceled. The source goes on to say, “There was going to be signage as well as Target symbols in purple and black - Anna’s signature colors. And it was rumored that Anna herself was going to be making a cameo appearance. The crew was thrown into a frenzy because they had to scrap everything they had planned. They can’t believe Target would bail on them, especially after publicly announcing the collaboration.”

At least we’ll always have Forever 21 for our back-to-school looks!

These Gossip Girls and their sneaker campaigns! We could have anticipated Leighton Meester landing a campaign as spokesperson for Tory Burch shoes, but never would we have thought she’d strike a deal with Reebok! Would Blair Waldorf approve?

Leighton just shot an ad yesterday in NYC for Reebok as their new spokesmodel.

This must have been a long time in the works, since Leighton was photographed all the way back in February at Reebok’s Freestyle World Tour event in the city.

Get The Gossip Girl Look For Less
 Image by wenn.com
Let’s admit it, once of the reasons we're addicted to the CW hit TV show “Gossip Girl” is because of the wardrobe. The show has literally created a fashion cult that is going preppy instead of Boho.

To be honest, it’s hard finding the items the girls wear on the show. Most of the clothes or accessories are designer brands that will cost you an arm and a leg.

Good news, we've got the scoop on how to look like your favorite "Gossip Girl" for less.

If you are into Leighton Meester’s character Blair Waldorf’s style than sophistication is key. Blair loves to wear big headpieces and beautiful dresses even if she’s going to the movies. Check out the Rose garden dress ($24.80) and satin headband with a bow (4.80) below.

If you’re into Serena van der Woodsen’s style than preppy is key. Check out the Sullivan Sweater Cardigan ($22.80) below with the large tote (26.81) that is something typical you can find in her closet.

Remember the idea is not to copy the look, but making it to work with your budget. Times are tough and there is no need to stress over an outfit.
