2012 Met Gala: FAVES!

8 May

Last night was the 2012 Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute Gala – better known to the masses as the Met Gala - and if you didn’t already know this, it is considered the “East Coast Oscars”. Every year the Met Gala is the mecca of fashion on the red carpet. If you pay any attention at all to Fashion Week then you can pretty much predict who will be wearing who, but watching the red carpet will still take your breathe away no matter how much you think you’ve prepared yourself for it.

While I watched the red carpet happening live in person by standing across 5th Avenue with a clear view of the red carpet drop-off depot, there were a number of gowns that literally had me gasping with my jaw on the floor.

Who was my favorite, you ask? Emma Stone. Emma Stone shut it down in her gown which was a multitude of things such as adorable, fun, and sexy! Coming in a very, very close second (Seriously. I debated this internally for far too long.) is Carey Mulligan in a sequined Prada gown that matched the debut of her wedding bling perfectly.

Honorable mentions: Beyonce, Amber Heard, Chanel Iman, Christina Ricci, Jessica Stam, Nina Dobrev, and – GASP – Rooney Mara. Flawless choices, ladies!

Below is a slideshow of my FAVES from last night’s Met Gala - aka the “Best Dressed” in my opinion! Who was YOUR top pick of the night?

I spent three days on the Gossip Girl set last week. THREE!

23 Dec

Last week my roommate’s friend Tonya was visiting her from Florida, and it turned out we all shared a common bond over Gossip Girl, which lead us to checking out the set not once, not twice, but three times last week. Here they are broken down into chronological order, including some filming spoilers – you’ve been warned!:

DAY 1: Ed Westwick filmed a scene outside of the Empire Hotel (with Monkey on a leash!) where he is having a heated phone conversation while watching a couple throw their arms around each other and kiss. The kiss sends him off in a tirade, but when he turns to head back into the hotel he bumps into another guy on the street. Words are exchanged, but then Ed disappears into the hotel lobby. For the rest of the day they shot interior scenes and the only other cast member on set filming with Ed was (WARNING: SPOILER!) Michelle Trachtenberg aka Georgina Sparks. Why is she back?! And why is she with Chuck?! (Sildeshow has pictures of Ed filming and Michelle heading to set.)

DAY 2: They were filming in a building down off of Essex and Delancey. When we got there Blake Lively, Leighton Meester, Penn Badgley, and Chace Crawford were on set. I have no idea what was going on in the scene since we couldn’t see inside the building, but I do know that Blake Lively left the set shortly after we got there (apparently to go to the airport), and that when we left Leighton Meester and Penn Badgley were the only ones on set. DAIR. FOR. LIFE. Are all of my hopes and dreams coming true?! Thankfully, Penn stopped to take a picture with Tonya and I before heading to film.

DAY 3: They were still filming in the same building they had been the day before, but this time the only two on set were Penn and Blair. Again. I don’t know what was going on, but I was in Dair Heaven. (Leighton candids in the slideshow!)

Throwback Thursday: 2009′s Compilation Video!

22 Dec

It’s been a while since I’ve done a Throwback Thursday, I know… please forgive my slacking! As the year comes to a close and I am putting together my top moments of 2011 (coming the week after Christmas!!) I decided to share this video I made at the end of 2009. It’s a compilation of video I took throughout the year on sets, at events, concerts, and just goofing off with my homie:

In order of appearance:

Penn Badgley, Taylor Swift, Britney Spears, Leighton Meester & Blake Lively, Jackson Rathbone, Pete Wentz, Kobe Bryant, Hanson, The Edge (U2!), Bobby Long, Charlie Bewley & Daniel Cudmore, Peter Facinelli, Robert Downey Jr., Donnie Wahlberg, Kenan Thompson, Robert Pattinson, Taylor Hanson, Kristen Stewart, Mark Wahlberg & Will Ferrell, Taylor Lautner (x2), Mark Wahlberg, Rachel McAdams, Edi Gathegi, Shia LaBeouf, Jason Schwartzman, Jude Law, Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner, Kellan Lutz, & Kristen Stewart.

PHEW. That was a mouthful. And yes, all footage in this video was taken by yours truly. I also chopped it all up and edited it into this amateur YouTube masterpiece. However I can’t take credit for the soundtrack, that’s all Lady Gaga’s doing. Thanks Mother Monster for creating the #1 fan girl anthem!

NYFW: Ed Westwick @ Tommy Hilfiger!

10 Sep

Last night was Tommy Hilfiger’s Men’s Collection show at High Line and it had some real hotties! Ed Westwick, who sat front row and rightfully so, came to the show with his dad and seemed really excited about the collection after the show. I have to say that Chuck Bass is my absolute favorite on ‘Gossip Girl’ and I’ve attempted some set stalks to meet him and came out unsuccessful every time. It was really exciting when I saw him arrive because I had no idea he was coming!

And a fun little tidbit: I also ran into Leighton Meester while I was down there. It was totally random, and she wasn’t going to the show, she was just walking down the street. I may have creepy-stared at her. I didn’t bother her for a picture or anything though. Just a creepy stare. Sorry Leighton!
