"Gossip Girl" Style Then Vs. Now

Who didn't love the Gossip Girl style? The only people I can think of is those who haven't watched the show! If you're anything like me, I always liked to see what was in style and how those ideas can change over time. So here are some of my favorite gossip girl styles with their modern equivalents.

1. Serena's sequin bustier gown. For a similar dress it retails for an obscene amount of money. Nowadays it seems that more formal occasions are actually being dressed down. For example, this gray more boho inspired dress if a good example of sought after evening wear. This dress also retails for less than $1,000, which is way more palatable than the last dress.

2. This dress is feature on Blair. It is a leopard print velvet dress retailing for over $1,000 again. This dress is a little out dated because animal prints have slowly faded out and native american and geometric shaped prints have come in.

This dress is a modern version of a popular velvet dress. It features the shape pattern design and the velvet feel.It is definitely more bold than the previous dress and a lot more affordable at $51 from ASOS.com

3.This black lace dress on Serena is a very popular design. It is simple with the lace (added by the design cast for the show) to a simple black dress. A similar dress sells for $1675 online.

The modern version is very close to this dress. Lace dresses now tend to have longer sleeves verses the no sleeved look Serena is rocking and the dress is also all laced. Personally both look great, so its better to pick the one you like! This dress is priced at $158 on nordstrom.com.

4.This outfit worn by Blair is a bold one. It features a bold jean inspired sleveless top and pick laced pencil skirt. The skirt can be found for $455 online.

Most modern outfits are prepared to be way more casual. It makes wearing outfits like these a lot easier because they are an "everyday outfit" paired with a baseball cap and converse. Similar skirts to this retail for $25-$50 online and the tank top can be bought anywhere.

5. This next Serena look is a classic example of Serena's casual vibe as opposed to Blair. It features a floral print skater skirt and simple sequined tank tucked into the skirt. To find a outfit relevant to this one it is fair affordable with the skirt retailing for $50 and the top for $30 online.

A modern day equivalent is again more bold and less sequins! The top is a simple white paired with a white backgrounded floral print skirt. This outfit gives off a nice peplum vibe making it suitable for any occasion dressed up or dressed down. The pair ranges similarly in price with the Serena outfit above.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

8tracks radio

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.
