BLAKE LIVELY BECAME the break-out star of Gossip Girl – a show where fashion and aesthetics were main characters – for her covetable wardrobe.
Not to mention Blake’s inability to have a bad hair day…
OMGGIVEMEYOURHAIR!
She may not have put a Jimmy Choo heeled-foot wrong fashionwise in the show, but she certainly was very mistaken about one thing..
Not everyone wants to be Blair Waldorf.
Fake news.
On reflection, it’s Leighton Meester’s Blair Waldorf who’s dripping with aplomb, sass and rock-solid self-confidence. She’s the woman we should all emulate, so here’s 15 of her best lines to help you navigate your way through life’s tricky situations.
1. When an ex- moves on before you’re fully over the relationship
Once men have tasted caviar, it baffles me how they settle for catfish
Even if their new GF is Ms Universe with a PhD in French Literature, you repeat this mantra to yourself.
2. What you tell youself when your friends want to leave the club at 1am
I don’t need friends. I need more champagne
3. As your newsfeed fills up with engagement pictures
Oh, my life is so bountiful. I don’t need a boyfriend to feel fulfilled
4. When you download Bumble for the first time
Destiny is for losers. It’s just a lame excuse for letting things happen to you instead of making them happen.
Don’t be embarrassed about making the first move in the dating world. If you don’t believe in gender stereotypes and think that women should be paid the same as men then you shouldn’t expect a guy to be the confident one who has to show interest.
5. When you leave the club and your friends try to dissuade you from going straight to the local takeaway
Nothing is holding me back anymore. I know what I want and I’m gonna get it
You don’t need this type of negativity in your life. Eat the 3-in-1. It’ll help your hangover.
6. When you need an excuse to book a post-Christmas/January weekend trip away when you’re absolutely broke
If you’re going to be sad, you might as well be sad in Paris
7. When you disgrace yourself on a night out and need to remind yourself that you’re still a classy bird
[WHISPERING] I am Grace Kelly, Grace Kelly is me
Put Instagram stories of you doing somersaults on the floor of Coppers down to youthful indiscretion ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
8. What to tell yourself when you come out of an exam that went tits up
Well, here’s my advice: have a little faith, and if that dosen’t work, a lot of mimosas.
9. When you’re put in charge of children and don’t know what to do
You can’t make people love you, but you can make them fear you.
10. If you boyfriend says he needs time apart before knowing for sure if you’re the one
I’m not a stop along the way. I’m a destination.
11.When you need to be honest with yourself about something that hurts you
Just because we can’t be together doesn’t mean I won’t love you.
This one might sting but remember that being vulnerable with another person and true to yourself is strength personified.
12. When someone says you’re too old to wear glitter on your face, arm, bodies at a festival
I’ve been waiting all summer to feel sparkly again and I won’t be pulled back into the darkness.
Never too old to wear whatever the hell you want!
13. When someone tells you that fashion is frivolous
Fashion is the most powerful art there is. It’s movement, design and architecture all in one. It shows the world who we are and who we’d like to be.
Don’t feel guilty that you like fashion because it’s a ‘feminine’ interest… but maybe do feel guilty about buying fast fashion in sweatshops.
14. Don’t settle for coming second in relationships
You deserve a guy who would move mountains to be with you if he had to.
15. When someone calls you a ‘good girl’
What I want, is to become a powerful woman.
You are a woman – let them hear you roar!
Because remember…
