She wore a black jacket with white trim from her Winter Kate fall 2010 collection with a pair of Anlo "Brooke" skinny jeans.
You can buy Nicole's silk satin "Juno" jacket here for $286.

Evening Dresses - 1965
What a difference 10 years makes! Today, we continue our look at evening wear through the decades with the 1960s. Gone are the full skirted styles and tiny waists of 1955. In 1965, shapes are more relaxed and elaborate fabrics and trimmings abound. Sequins, beads and bangles. Brocades, embroideries, and heavy laces. Asian influences, pants, and the beginnings of op-art all show up. Oh, and don't forget the big, big hair! Enjoy these evening looks from 1965.

Gossip Girl 'Gaslit' Episode and Fashion Recap
"What do you say we find that bitch and get us a little Frontier justice?"
So long Jenny Humphrey, good riddance to bad rubb--well, you know the rest, and in the case of Little J it really fits. I mean, I know I should be happy that Jenny 'fessed all to Blair, but really the whole deal just makes me hate her more. I can't stand either Juliet or Vanessa but why sell them out? Hopefully we've seen the last of Taylor Momsen's goth moping for a looong while. And, while I don't dare hope for too much, it looks like Vanessa is also headed out of town. I think it's time Vanessa realizes that these UES peeps are just not for her. Why she still chases after Dan when he pretty much treats her like goo you'd find under your shoe is beyond me. She should have seriously decked him at the market.
I thought this episode was pretty great overall. Sure we were treated to our annual Serena trip to the hospital, but I have to say Juliet's plan was pretty ingenious even if Jenny did ultimately torpedo it as only a Humphrey can. What I found hard to swallow is how outraged Ben acted. Like, ruining all of Serena's relationships, her reputation and her academic future are all okay, but what Juliet did was just stepping over the line. Really?! I guess Ben's just another in a long line of men who never really got over Serena. Sorry Juliet. Nate, however, looks like he may finally be cured of his Serena-induced mania. Thank goodness for small mercies. Can't say I care for the storyline with his dad, though.
"Just because we can't be friends doesn't mean we aren't."
~Blair's Note to Chuck
Chuck and Blair break my heart. Can they just stop this pretending and be together? No? Well, I guess we need to settle for pie instead. And as much as I want to poke Dan's eyes out with a stick I am totally psyched for a Juliet takedown. Maybe teaming up with Blair will make Dan slightly bearable, like in some of his cute scenes with Nate (that one where they were discussing Nate's parents' divorce, however, was not one of those scenes.) Blair is totally legit awesome. Loves. Can't wait for the next one!

Starburst Mirrors
It's no secret I'm obsessed with starburst mirrors. I have one in my living room and one over my bed... I still want more! To me, a starburst mirror is the ultimate wall decor for the modern sophisticate.

{style inspiration: pale & pretty neutrals}
. . . not quite december yet, and already things are beginning to move along at an even more dizzying pace than usual, with upcoming soirées, dinner parties and gift exchanges, boxes tied with ribbon and a feeling of magic in the air, and in the midst of all the running around, have been practically living in luxuriously soft cashmere cardigans, belted, and perfectly paired with cozy scarves and festive gold fingernails . . .

{holiday inspiration: silver & gold}
. . . while may not have had a chance to get together holiday decorations this past weekend {perhaps & hopefully this week}, have been dreaming up elegant colour palettes for the season, and while the last may have been inspired by tiffany's blue, this year, quite smitten with the idea of simple and classic silver and gold, perhaps hints of pearl and opalescence, gilded garlands and glittering sequins, and perhaps, just the faintest glimmer of palest lilac . . .
{p.s.} also lovely: one & two; & how was your weekend? dying to know what holiday colour palettes you've been dreaming up?
{also:} a few things you may have missed:
* weekend: a few lovely links
* at the shops: andrea bonelli, san francisco
* for the holidays: advertising
{& one last thing:}
* now that we finally have a winner for the philippe starck louis ghost armchair, it's on to the next glamorous give-away {perfect for the holidays!} a little later today -- check back if you like . . . xo
