This season of Gossip Girl is being a rollercoaster. I loved last week's episode but 'Memoirs of an invisible Dan' was so dull! I could cope with an uneventful episode if, like they used to, Serena and Blair would change four or five times during the day but it seems this season we're not getting more than a change of clothes.

Serena, who I'm happy to say is still the best dressed, looked amazing in a Yigal Azrouel dress that she wore with amazing snakeskin YSL wedges and a Jody Candrian cuff was the perfect example of a day-to-night look. Once she took off the chunky cardi she was ready for a cocktail. I also loved her 'relaxed' look with the sequinned Haute Hippy skirt and the cozy tank top.

Blair had a hit and a miss this week. The hit was the Louis Vuitton Resort 2012 print dress with the chiffon hemline that she wore with a stunning Prada bag. The miss was her evening look –a Peter Som SS10 dress with a beautiful textured top that was spoiled by the ragged silk skirt that looked really cheap. It was less conservative than normal but I wasn't keen on it.

There's little else to report on the rest of the characters. Liz Hurley keeps looking hot but exactly the same as every week, the boys are looking good but not trying hard enough, not even Chuck. And Lily had two hits but she's got so little screen time we barely have time to enjoy them.

When I started hearing that many fashion houses had decided to call off their bi-annual catwalk shows due to the so-called recession I made a grin of disappointment. But seeing that so far I do not get a sit on the first row anyway it seems like a good way to have the closest thing to a closer look at the clothes. It is almost like staring at clothes mug-shots. Nonetheless, I am quite looking forward to seeing some of my favourite women coming in and out of the tent in Bryant Park. Of all the collections published up until now there have been three that have really caught my eye.

Personally, I am not a big fan of being a colour parade in the winter but Peter Som's collection makes me want to rethink my resolution. The mixture of neon prints seems a little reminiscent of Alexander McQueen's last collection and the shapes make me think of Balenciaga's peplums. However, there is something fresh and new about the outfits and their psychedelic furry companions that simply screams "wear me!".

Jenny Kayne's collection was just stunning. It does not get better than simple and chic and this is both. I can picture Alexa Chung and her sexy voice in most of there ensembles. Geeky and slick, just how I like it.

Although not as impressive as the previous two collections, Rachel Roy's lingerie approach to womenswear seems highly suggestive. The absence of tops and the appearance of bras underneath oversized tailored pieces is something of an elegant sexual nature. I loathe the shoes but I can see in my mind a few of the most stylish celebrities in these.
