NEW YORK – Gossip Girl episode 2, “Never Been Marcused,” is out, and we are in a hurry to demystify some of the outfits used on the show. XOXO

Blair Waldorf (played by Leighton Meester) is riding a bicycle in East Hampton. Blair mixed and matched for this joy ride a yellow ruffled blouse and Abigail Lorick orange shorts from Spring 2008 Collection. She also carried a Moschino heart-shaped Love Bag (retails for about $1600). Later Blair heads to New York and plans a party. She is wearing a Marc by Marc Jacobs dress, Rachel Leigh bracelet and Unisa Adeline wedges.

NEW YORK — Actress Penelope Cruz’s smile indicates that she is pleased with her promotional efforts. Penelope visited “Good Morning America” and “Live With Regis & Kelly” TV Shows today to promote her upcoming movies, “Vicky Cristina Barcelona” and “Elegy.”

We particularly liked Penelope’s casual style. Penelope combined a Matthew Williamson blue graphic top with super flared 7 For All Mankind jeans, a brown leather bag and Ray-Ban wayfarers. At some point Penelope put on Christian Louboutin Minibout Zep pumps.

Penelope looked trendy, and there are all ingredients for her movies to do well in the box office given the number of steamy love scenes involving Penelope’s characters.
