Gossip Girl fanatics, we are. No denying it. And since the series story line has more or less gone to then dogs, we’re not ashamed to admit that we mostly watch it for the clothes. Blake Lively may not be as needlessly extravagant and stylish off-screen as she is on set, but we still love what she chooses to outfit herself in. This time around, Diesel Grupee Skinny Jeans (part of the “fit your attitude collection”), which ring in at just $59.99.
See the full look below.

Skinny jeans for men are back. Stylist/blogger Justin Livingston (wearing Diesel) shows men how to wear skinny jeans this winter in his blog, Oh, Munrowe. Actually, skinny jeans are his staple jeans fit, as there are pictures of him wearing them throughout the year. His style reminds us of runway trends at Burberry Prorsum, Paul Smith and Raf Simons, when oversized coats were worn over slimmer pant silhouettes. And, it’s no secret that women don’t mind seeing men in skinny jeans, especially when it’s pulled together well with some great wintry staples. Ready to put your old skinny jeans back into rotation? Here are some ideas—à la Oh, Munrowe—on how to style your jeans.
1. If you’re going to go for the skinny jean, why not go for selvage jeans! 1969 Selvage Skinny Fit Jeans in dark resin rinse (on sale for $89.95) – buy it at Gap.
2. Oversized duffle coats are the It Coats of the season. Lauren by Ralph Lauren Overcoat in Navy Toggle (on sale for $229.99) – buy it at Macy’s.
3. We love the neon blue squiggle accents on the pockets. Vivienne Westwood Anglomania by Lee Black Mechanic Squiggle Pocket Skinny Jean ($148.50) – buy it at My Wardrobe.
4. If you’re looking for volume in a scarf, then you’ve found it. ASOS Fishnet Snood (on sale for $24.54) – buy it at ASOS.
5. Red Wing®, known for making boots that’ll take you to Alaska and back, merges rugged with classy—sure to be a winter closet staple. Red Wing® for J.Crew 6″ round-toe boots ($240) – buy it at J. Crew.

First, make sure your boss isn’t reading this, because Diesel Jeans is revolutionizing the art of slacking off. Thanks to Diesel’s Be Stupid at Work campaign, you can now spend countless hours on Facebook while looking like you’re actually working. Yep. Diesel’s “ExcellBook” Facebook App turns Facebook into a spreadsheet. No more worrying about clicking that quick-minimize button!
The official video was viewable as of yesterday, but it seems both the Be Stupid at Work Web site (and access to the app download) and official videos have been shut down (aww). However, we found one player that still works, so you can at least see what could’ve been before it’s discovered (double aww!).

The wheels are constantly spinning over at Diesel Jeans. Not one to rest on their laurels, Diesel launches their new Jogg Jeans: jeans literally as comfortable as your sweatpants, in baggy and skinnier silhouettes. Perhaps it’s all the late nights and weekends banging out new marketing campaigns in their own sweatpants which inspired the latest denim hybrid, but the concept is quite intriguing. With the exception of raw denim, premium denim these days can be quite comfortable. But, Diesel thought it wasn’t good enough, apparently. The Jogg Jeans for men and women are slated to drop exclusively at Selfridges in June, and in stores worldwide in August.

The future Princess, Kate Middleton (nuptials are set to wed Prince William on April 29th, just days away!) is seen around England town in a pair of Diesel Jeans RONHOIR 88OZ. The uber stylish Kate paired her jeans with a simple cap sleeved button down shirt which she neatly tucked in to her flares following the trendy Spring theme (it must warmer across the Atlantic than it is on the East Coast). The blue cotton jeans feature a worn effect and are low waisted showing off her very slim figure. We hope she continues to stay true to her denim wearing days even after she is crowned.

JFK to LAX (or vice versa) is the big denim hub spotter for celebs. Zac Efron is the latest to be caught on the lens in a pair of super cool Diesel jeans. He spent the last two weeks filming “New Years Eve”, and looked a bit tired (though chic!) as he made his way through the terminal. He was wearing a knit cardigan, ripped Diesel Thavar 8ne slim jeans, sunglasses and a black beanie.
