Gossip Girl Spoiler

Any Gossip Girl fans that are yet to watch the finale, I suggest you look away now as I simply cannot contain my excitement any longer!

When realising this was the last series, I couldn’t help but feel completely gutted having watched every single episode from start to finish. There have been fights, break-ups, romances, marriages, deaths and even sex with a minor up until now, and it’s a huge shame to see it all come to an end.

As expected and long anticipated, Gossip Girl’s identity was revealed in the form of none other than Lonely Boy – Dan Humphrey!! Unfortunately for me, the surprise was ruined as I was a couple of days behind on watching it and the news had already broke on my Twitter feed but I couldn’t help but feel a little more love for Dan when he described why he did it. Sick of admiring Serena from afar, a friend told him that you know you’ve made it when people start talking about you. Setting up the Gossip Girl page and posting about himself subtly was the ideal way to get himself noticed.

As well as Gossip Girl himself being identified, the voice behind the famous ‘XOXO Gossip Girl’ made her debut in the show, playing herself in the making of Dan’s movie, was Kristen Bell.

To guarantee that they ended on the ultimate high, what better than for our two favourite couples to tie the knot. Yes, the final episode sees Chuck and Blair finally, after many will-they, won’t-they moments, exchanging rings just before Chuck is arrested for running from the police – if that doesn’t scream dream wedding then I don’t know what does. As always, Blair looked incredible in a pale blue lace, floor-length gown with Chuck wearing a statement white suit with blue trimmings.


In the last five minutes we zoom ahead to five years later and the on-off couple, Serena and Dan, surrounded by our favourite cast members and new addition – HENRY BASS – Blair and Chuck’s little boy *yay*, also get married. Serena looked equally as gorgeous as her best friend in a gold and white gown; neither your typical wedding attire.



If you’re a hard-core GG fan like myself, then it’s enough to bring a tear to your eye. The perfect ending to the perfect show.

Here is a clip of the last five minutes – a sneak peak for those who haven’t already seen it and a little treat for those who have. It’s not like I’ve already watched it four times :-/

Christmas wish list







Selfridges 'No Noise' room



January 2013 sees the opening of Selfridges ‘No Noise’ shopping area. Doing exactly what it says on the tin, the area will be solely for silent shopping, where shoes and mobile phones are to be left at the door for a tranquil shopping experience.
The idea is inspired by founder Harry Gordon Selfridge and will be situated in the store’s Ultralounge, featuring a Quiet Shop for guests to purchase de-branded products as well as an edit of pieces from Spring collections from designers such as Jil Sander and Maison Martin Margiela.
Guests are also encouraged to take part in meditation sessions and make use of the headspace pods that come as part of the experience.
Selfridges creative director Alannah Weston says: the room “invites customers to find a moment of peace in a world where we are bombarded by a cacophony of information and stimulation” – WWD reports.
To take full advantage of this unique experience, head to Selfridges this January!
