Oh Little J

I have posted before about the school uniforms on Gossip Girl. I let it slide before because I loved the outfits but I am NOT a fan of Jenny's new style. How is this allowed at a private school??



I understand one has to suspend reality when watching TV but could they make the uniform a bit more believable?

Greek and Gossip Girl: Good Girls Go Bad

If you watched Greek last night you saw ZBZ dancing to their version of Cobra Starship's Good Girls Go Bad:


This was actually the day I saw them filming so the ZBZ version has been stuck in my head for weeks!

Well just in case you didn't know, Gossip Girl's Leighton Meester is featured in the song and video:


They even played the song on Gossip Girl during the scene where Dan tells Blair there are no headbands in college

** I did not watch last night's episode of Gossip Girl yet so you'll probably get another GG post this week

PB Teen

Sweet Treat Storage Holders:

LOVE the cupcakes. Not so crazy about the other ones.

I Heart Earrings Holder:

Right now I keep my earrings in a clear box (looks like a big pill box) but this would be so much cuter!

Pretty Parlor Stool Slipcover (on sale AND can be monogrammed):

The pink and brown combo is my fav!

The Monogram Swap

I just saw this website over at Miss Monogram's blog and thought I would share. There is a new website called The Monogram Swap. I think it is a great idea, especially for children's items that are outgrown! Here's the info:

The Monogram Swap is a website that allows shoppers to list gently used monogrammed items for sale. Until December 1st you can list your items for FREE!! The best part is you set the price for your item! If it sells you keep all the money (minus a tiny 10% transaction fee). As The Monogram Swap was launched earlier this month, there isn't a ton of inventory on the site, but hopefully as the word spreads, the site will fill with more and more monogrammed items! So rack your brain and your closet and see if you have anything to put on the site or have anyone you can recommend it to.

Nautical outfit of the week

Sent in by Natalie at Carolina Prep.

Natalie writes, "University of South Carolina's homecoming theme this year was 'Anchor's Away.' I knew we were in for some cute tshirts! As soon as I saw my sorority's tee I immediately thought of you!!"

The first picture is the front of both shirts, with the navy being her sorority's shirt and the white being USC's overall homecoming tee:


The next 2 are the backs of the shirts:
