I’ve made no secret of the fact that one of my major life goals when I first moved to New York a few years back was to find and makeout with Gossip Girl lothario Ed Westwick. Unrealistic? Maybe. But I never knew how close I’d actually come (well… proximity-wise, anyway).

Gossip Girl comes to its sure-to-be-super-dramatic conclusion tonight (*sob*), but we couldn’t let the magic end without paying tribute to the breakout star of the show: Serena van der Woodsen’s cleavage.
It was love at first tights.
In 2007, I was a college sophomore in Boston, still emotionally reeling from my recent transfer to a new school and the cancellation of the O.C. (aka the official ending of the high school me). Gossip Girl filled that void–and before I knew it, I found myself more than willing to trade in my dream of Seth Cohen for another seemingly unattainable infatuation: Blair Waldorf, or rather, Blair Waldorf’s wardrobe.
But after five and a half seasons of incoherent story lines, confusing plot twists, and apparently disappointing Nielsen ratings, Gossip Girl is really over. Like all great love stories/mediocre basic cable dramedies, the romance couldn’t last forever. Things haven’t been so great for a while now–but, to quote what’s sure to be a future Taylor Swift song, I can still remember that very first ‘XOXO’…

Forever 21 is in legal trouble again–though this time it’s not for violating intellectual property rights. The US Department of Labor has served the fast fashion retailer with a subpoena, after they failed to turn over pertinent documents concerning the labor practices of their apparel contractors and manufacturers. The documents were originally requested because investigators found some goods were being manufactured in “sweatshop-like conditions.” {WWD}

Lately it seems like reunions are everywhere: the Beverly Hills gang in Old Navy commercials, Entertainment Weekly‘s Reunions Issue, the upcoming Arrested Development reunion (the only one that truly matters, let’s get real).

We put our thinking caps on to come up with ten fashion reunions we’d like to see here at Fashionista – we will even moderate. It’s guaranteed to be way chicer than your high school reunion.
