"Gossip Girl" debuted last week and though I was skeptical at first, it has done a fabulous job of nurturing my "The O.C." withdrawals.

In the second episode last night, Serena van der Woodsen's current frenemy Blair Waldorf had an exceptional wardrobe, one of them being a delicate white eyelet dress she wore to to a fundraiser brunch at a posh hotel. Like a true rich girl, she donned pearl bracelets, a girlie headband and just to spice things up, a pair of sexy patterned tights. Sticking with the innocent-but-sexy motif, she wore black patent Mary Janes on her feet.

Do you love her ensemble as much as I do? Get the look below...and don't forget to watch the show next week then check back here for more fabulous outfits!

Aren't these metallic headbands amazing? I can't believe that the bra strap style is making another comeback after its heyday almost 10 years ago. We already know that metallics are big this spring, and this is great and practical way to accessorize any look. Here are two different brands that have created some marvelous double-stranded metallic headbands.

This Metallic Crisscross Headband by Cara Couture ($60) is made from two half-inch straps that crisscross on the side, plus an elasticized cord so that it slides over your head easily and will stretch to fit all sizes. The headband is made of leather and is available in gold and silver.

These thick, modern versions of the old style chain belts are a sexy accessory that would complement any mod style long shift dress or tunic. Just wrap it around, clip it together and go with no fuss - they really make cinching a cinch! They also add a Grecian flare. Here are a few new chain belts:

This Woven Link Belt by Cara Couture, $165, is a stunning woven iron gold link belt that has a mesh effect. It is two inches wide and thirty one inches long with a gold drop at the end of the lobster claw clasp to create some weight so it stays put.
