Gossip Guys: Panic Roommate

This week on Gossip Girl, everyone is back scheming and plotting: Dan, Eric and Damien teamed up against Ben, but in the end, Ben triumphed while Damien waved the white flag; Chuck's plan also backfired but all's not lost when Blair stepped in with some damage control after her own plan (sort of) worked and she got way more than what she bargained for.

Like every other episode, all the dirty work was done in stylish and chic outfits, so without further ado, let's move on to our weekly Gossip Girl menswear fashion recap!

Nate Archibald is back... fashion-wise! After donning one too many plaid shirts and the occasional tuxedoes, Nate was seen wearing this gorgeous peacoat from Gucci's FW2010 collection (see below) on this week's episode. I'm loving everything about this coat, from the color to the collar, and the elbow patches to the cuffs... absolutely everything. I've been on the scout for a nice peacoat for some time and I think I've found thee perfect one. Or at least the perfect one to reference after when looking for a close substitute at Zara or H&M.

Not to be upstaged by his roommate, Chuck Bass spent the entire episode trying to win Raina Thorpe's heart in this preppy combo with a pinkish purple shirt, purple paisley tie and a classic navy peacoat - which mildly reminds me of the one from Lanvin's collaboration with H&M last year (see below). If you're in the mood to go preppy and dandy all the way, this color coordination would do no wrong.

Another peacoat! Seriously, they're trying to make me feel bad about not owning one myself. Now even the least fashionable of the bunch, Dan Humphrey, has one. Dan was sporting this grey one and I think I've seen something quite similar at H&M (see below). Not loving the green x beige scarf but otherwise a nice effort from Dan.

Missing Damien already? And what about Eric? More looks from the guys on Gossip Girl after the jump!

Lanvin SS2011 Campaign

I'm absolutely in love with these latest visuals from Lanvin for their SS2011 collection. They're so vibrant and dynamic but at the same time luxurious - a perfect fit with the dazzling NYC backdrop.

Shopping Intel: Lanvin for H&M

Unless you've been living under a rock in a cave somewhere in the Amazon rainforest, you'd have heard about the Lanvin for H&M collaboration. As every shopaholic would know, strategy is of the utmost importance in major shopping events like this one, so here we have some crucial info regarding the first day of sale so as to help everyone strategize and snatch that much coveted collection right off the racks and into our shopping bags!

Date: November 23, 2010

Time: Starts at 8:00 am sharp

Stores: ONLY available at the H&M stores in Central, TST, Elements, and Langham Place

Ground rules: Each customer can only buy ONE piece of ONE size out of every item available.

Logistics for the Ladies: The first 320 customers will be separated into 16 different groups (20 customers per group) and each customer will be given a wristband (one of the 16 different colors representing 16 groups) which has a specified time on it and each customer will be given 10 minutes each to shop in the Lanvin section. If you're the 321st customer, you will need to wait until all 16 groups have finished shopping before you can get into the Lanvin section and pick up whatever that is left.

Logistics for the Gents: NO time limit for us gentlemen. So no wristbands, no groups.

I hope EVERY shopper will get whatever item their hearts desire! Here's a list of all the items with prices in HKD for some even earlier planning at home:

Lanvin for H&M

As the entire fashion world waits with bated breath for the Lanvin for H&M fashion show to debut on November 2, we have here the latest visuals and teaser trailer for the biggest fashion collaboration of the year! By the way, was that hotel corridor referencing horror classic The Shining?

I'm really curious about what Alber Elbaz has in store for us gentlemen. From the looks of it, I can tell it's definitely going to be something exquisite and sophisticated Lanvin is famous for. My wardrobe has room for some more clean cut suit jackets and funky accessories! Bring it on!
