Designer Spotlight-Bensoni

Living in Malaysia one of the things I really miss about home is the television shows.  The stations aren’t the same here and unfortunately, I am now tragically behind on some of my favorites.  Now, before I left I was not following nor had I ever watched “Gossip Girl”, the television series.  Yes, I had heard of it, but just never followed…probably because I was already addicted to so many other shows during prime time.  But while out here in KL, I was gifted the first season of the show and now, I AM HOOKED!  Not only because I love the characters, but mostly because of the fashion.  Each episode I sit closely admiring both Serena’s and Blair’s style and wondering what designer they were dressed in this week.  I’ve even come so far to begin stalking down some of their outfits on the internet…one site I love is Gossip Girl Fashion.  The writers of this site do a pretty good job of tracking down the designers of each piece and if they can’t, they at least show you a similar style you can try to hunt down.  Now, one such blouse worn by Oscar de la Renta was worn by Blair and I just fell in love with it.  Now long gone and unable to find, I started searching for a yellow silk blouse that looked the same, which led me back to the fashion sites and that led to me to Bensoni.

Here I paired a Bensoni blouse with the same designer’s studded pencil skirt and a black blazer for a chic professional work outfit.
