Maybe it was just me, but this week's Gossip Girl episode, Pret-A-Poor-Jenny, felt like a total roller coaster ride. From the high of the amazing Chuck and Blair story line, to the low of the totally awkward and strangely premature Nate and Jenny kiss, it was all a little much. Seriously, I know it's all acting, but watching a 23-year-old actor make out with a 15-year-old actress on prime time freaked me out a little. Moving on.
Let's concentrate on the good stuff. The Chuck and Blair story line was so perfect and Leighton Meester as Blair looked beautiful throughout the episode, even in her moments of despair. Plus, as always, the fashion rocked. My pick for Blair's best fashion ensemble of the evening? The ladylike lace-accent dress she wore to the gallery opening [picture top left] to confront Chuck with those "three little words."

Want to steal Leighton Meester as Blair's Gossip Girl dress style? She was sporting the Zola Mini Dress from Temperley London [right]. This silk and cotton lace confection is full of the girly-girl details we expect from Blair. Lace, bows and pleats, oh my! I'm actually amazed how this combination of several very girly details still manages to look incredibly chic. I firmly disagree with those people who claim that the only difference between a $120 dress and a $1,200 dress is the label. Take away the impeccable construction, luxe fabrics and well thought out design and this dress would be a mess. And definitely not Blair-worthy.
