the new girl in the UES

Did anyone else watch Gossip Girl Monday night? No? Think it's strange that a 30 year old woman (wow i feel old calling myself a woman) would want to watch a bunch of teenagers running around NYC? Totally normal! Right. Well, the new girl on the show this season is Clemence Poesy. If she looks familiar, she also played the character of Fleur Delacour in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Alright, so maybe I have slightly...immature taste when it comes to movies and television. But seriously, how can you not love Harry Potter? The books are entertaining, you really learn to love the characters and I think its wonderful how it's gotten kids so excited to read. It's something kids AND their parents can enjoy. Thats hard to find.

Okay, back to Clemence. She's a French actress and model. I'm not familiar with any of her other work and she had such a minor part in Harry Potter - and has had only had a few lines so far in GG - that I can't really speak for her acting abilities. But, I think she has great style. Of course she looks amazing on GG (who doesn't?), but I'm talking about her street style. She has that very casual, French cool look about her. Everything about her looks effortless - hair looks perfectly messy, makeup is minimal, clothes look chic but comfy. I love it. See for yourself:

I love this outfit! The combination of black and olive green look so good. And that coat! Sigh.

Her hair looks so cute like this! Why does my hair never turn out like this when I put it up in a bun?

Who would've though patchwork pants would look so good? I want those shoes.

I'm pretty sure she was also in the movie "In Bruges."

I am a complete GG fan... and I'm 30... so I feel your pain when it comes to openly admiting this.

GG is like a younger version of sex and the city. it's filled the void SATC left behind!
