Don't Miss:

Rachel Zoe is making her debut on Gossip Girl this Monday, and as you can see in this image we’ve just obtained from next week’s show, Rachel’s star turn is, shall we say, bittersweet? In the episode, which centers around Blair’s birthday party and is ominously titled “War at the Roses,” Zoe gets down and dirty, literally. Wearing a floor-length Pucci dress and Alexis Bittar jewelry, she seems to have caught the wrong end of a melted chocolate pot. We spoke exclusively to the stylist to hear what she had to say about filming: “I identify the most with Serena’s style—her wardrobe is everything—sexy, glamorous and adventurous! I have been a huge fan of Gossip Girl since the beginning and watch it every Monday with my girls, so it was beyond exciting to do an episode of the show and meet all of the brilliant people both behind and on camera. And obviously my favorite part of the experience was the costumes—so major!“ Cynthia Rowley is also rumored to appear in the episode. If wearing chocolate becomes the next big trend now, we’re in full support!

If you’re like us, it’s all too easy to skip the gym and let your beauty routine slide when the temperature drops. Then again, Brooklyn Decker‘s not quite like us. The swimsuit model, who is currently promoting Gillette’s new disposable Venus Embrace razors, is committed to working out (and staying hot) all year-round. How does she stay motivated? “I think about how exercising makes me feel afterwards. It’s also great for alleviating stress during the holidays,” she told us. She also explained why it’s important to keep primping all winter long: “A lot of women tend to stop shaving as much when they don’t show bare skin, but it’s actually necessary to keep up! Shaving with a five blade razor exfoliates your skin, so you’re getting rid of all that flakiness every time you shave.” She does admit, however, to indulging a bit from time to time: “I have a major sweet tooth, which Halloween takes care of! One of my favorite indulgences is Sour Patch Kids.” Maybe we’re not so different from Brooklyn after all!
