Doing a Blair Waldorf: The Red Cross Charity Ball

At  almost 27, I am pretty much gaga, still on Gossip Girl.

This morning, I spent my hours devouring the latest episode from Season 6, a series my former boss {yes, that's you G!} called rubbish, something we laugh about nowadays. That never stopped me from taking in the feminine details of Blair's dresses. More importantly, I kept in mind all the formal details that were being tacked on to Leighton Meester's character, Blair Waldorf.

Secretly, my favorite has always been the ball gowns. It's because I almost always don't wear ball gowns as much she did.

But I do like dressing up every now and then and especially if for a cause. While I wasn't any Upper East Sider, I had fun feeling very Blair Waldorf at the recent Red Cross Charity Ball hosted by Tessa Prieto-Valdes and Kaye Tinga:

1) I opted for my green Aranaz clutch {thanks, FCC!} for a pop of color 2) Johnson's and Johnson's baby wipes 3) Clean and Clear Oil Control Film 4) Calvin Klein Eternity Aqua sample {aren't samples the best for night outs?} 5) Swish Breath Freshener 6) iPad 2 {a digital girl is never without hers} 7) Chanel compact powder 8) shu uemura BG 931 9) iPhone {of course}

And now, some snaps from the party itself, which I realized, dressing up for a good cause, was such a Blair Waldorf {among many others} thing to do. :D
