It’s no secret that Gossip Girl cast members Blake Lively and Leighton Meester have proved themselves to be stylish on set and off. Now it seems that both ladies will be fronting major fashion campaigns next year. Lively is the new face of Chanel, while Meester is rumored to be Missoni's new model, according to Elle UK. Meester, who currently appears in campaigns for Vera Wang fragrances and Herbal Essences, will be modeling for Missoni in a campaign launching in summer 2011.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past couple of weeks, you know that Prince William is finally tying the knot with his longtime girlfriend and regular gal, Kate Middleton. After dating for seven years, William finally, as Beyoncé would say, “put a ring on it.” It’s set to be the biggest wedding of the year—perhaps decade. So what would you do if you had the endless budget of a princess? I know what I would do—spend that precious royal dough and throw the wedding of my dreams. I mean, marrying a prince is nice and all, but can you imagine the kind of shopping Kate gets to do? I’m jealin’! Here’s what I would buy if I had the budget of a princess. I would start with a couture dress designed by Elie Saab, Caroline Herrera, or Vera Wang. However, I would keep the silhouette on the sleeker side and go for a long train.

Vera Wang (master of pretty much everything now) is adding makeup and skincare to her empire. According to Women's Wear Daily, the brand will launch Spring 2012 at Kohl's, joining her Simply Vera line that has been in stores since 2006.

In a press release she stated: "As part of my incredible partnership with Kohl's, I will now be able to offer women all over America my own personal regimen for skincare and makeup. It is an easy, light, modern, and effortless approach to beauty and creativity."

It's been an awful day for the two-time Olympic medalist Nancy Kerrigan, whose father was found dead yesterday. As terrible as it is to be reminded about a famous person when something tragic happens to them-- it'd be much better to be reminded when something good happens to them-- we're certainly thinking of Kerrigan now. And, seriously, that woman wore a lot of classy outfits on the ice. (Johnny Weir, look her up.) Recently, the designer Vera Wang looked back on some of the sport's best looks, reminiscing in particular on a neon yellow number with pink beading that Kerrigan wore at the 1994 games in Lillehammer, Norway. After the jump, more of Kerrigan's best looks.

One of the best things about modern technology is its immediacy. Last night I knew where I needed to be that second to see Daria and Lily having a dance off for Fashion's Night Out thanks to Twitter (they were cutting a rug at Indochine). Likewise, the instantaneous photo uploads from the runways help me plan ahead, save money, and invest in the right beauty products. To really squeeze my dollar, I usually wait to do any kind of fall shopping until fashion week is over, so I can get a good look at what the spring shows boast, in order have some insight into what trends will last. Though the shows have only recently commenced, I've already made a short list of beauty trends that seem to be transcending seasons. Here's a preview what to buy now, judging from the runway faces that will make the easiest transition from winter to spring.

I'm shocked! Apparently the extravagantly planned mergers & acquisitions deal -- er, I mean wedding -- between Tommy Hilfiger and Dee Ocleppo is off the table. According to Page Six, the pair were planning to marry at Hilfiger's swanky Mustique digs this Friday and follow up with a larger celebration for friends at The Plaza in October. Not anymore!
