14 Things We Learnt From Gossip Girl

If you have to ask yourself if you’re wearing too much makeup, the answer is always yes. “I'm glad you're not wearing that raccoon makeup anymore, because you looked like one of the Incredibles.”– Dan.

Fashion and sports actually do mix sometimes. Blair: “Dan is a huge football fan. He's a Chelsea fanatic.”
Serena: “Oh, me too. I just love the Balenciaga store.”

True friends defriend friend’s exes. “Miss Blair, I de-friend Mr. Chuck on Facebook and in life.” – Dorota.

Make sure you wear lipstick when you leave the house - you never know who you might run into. “Oh darling you look lovely in your mug shot. It was smart of you to turn yourself in, so you could make sure your hair was done.”- Cece.

When a drunken model sets fire to your clothing line, just deal with it. “Sorry, J, but in the real world, you can’t take a note to the principal when the drunken model eats your homework.” – Gossip Girl.

If you’re using Tinder, try to refrain from finding out anything about your date. “Cinderella did not Google Prince Charming.” – Serena.

Forget money and power: fashion is the real centre of the universe. “Fashion is the most powerful art there is. It’s movement, design, and architecture all in one. It shows the world who we are and who we’d like to be. Just like your scarf shows the world you’d like to be a used car salesman.” – Blair.
Dan: “Vanessa gave me this scarf.”

Sometimes, any publicity isn’t always the best publicity. “Mom, you have to call [Page Six] and make them print an apology and a retraction.” – Serena.

If you want to make something happen, you actually have to do something about it. “Destiny is for losers. It’s just a stupid excuse to wait for things to happen rather than making them happen." – Blair.

Apparently, you only count as a powerful person if you wear high heels. “Upper East Side Queens aren't born at the top. They climb their way up in heels, no matter who they have to tread on to do it.” – Blair.

Sometimes, no matter how long you’ve been friends, it’s not always meant to be.
Roman: “Eleanor, we've been friends a long time. Since before Marc Jacobs went into rehab.”
Eleanor: “Friends don't steal other friends' husbands.”

To be a great leader means forfeiting some of life's necessities. “Great leaders only need three hours of sleep a night. Mine just happen to be non-consecutive.” – Blair.

The trick is to run away from your problems, preferably to another country. “If you’re gonna be sad, you may as well be sad in Paris.” – Blair.

When all else fails, go to the bar. “Here's my advice: Have a little faith, and if that doesn't work, have a lot of mimosas.” – Blair.
