Mad Men - Season 2
Wonderful wonderful wonderful. Spring 2009 - I modelled myself on Joan Holloway: with a high-waisted body-con wool skirt and mid-heel scalloped courts; I even cut the fringe. This is how curvy girls like myself should dress! Hurrah hurrah Hurrah!

Gossip Girl - Season 2 - Volume 1
Ah the preppiness of Blair. And the slightly boho if incredibly well-cut ease of Serena (no Sienna Miller nastiness here.) Poor Blair was over-made-up in the pilot, and often great in season one, though she truly came into a confident and original preppiness in Season 2. Serena's bohemianess was at times a little tame and dull in season one, but dazzled in Season 2.
