Taylor Momsen: Glam Goddess to Goth Rocker

Anybody remember this little girl?

Better known now as Gossip Girl's scheming and stylish Jenny Humphrey, Taylor Momsen has come a long way from her days as Cindy Lou Who.

Over the years, her look has evolved from innocent and sweet to a sultry siren in a statement that is more and more a reflection of her own edgier personality.

This goth-rocker personality has been evolving right along with her career: in addition to acting, Momsen is also lead singer for her band The Pretty Reckless.

While I'm not sure how I feel about her raccoon eyes and dark lipstick, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the songs she's putting out. For such a tiny girl, she has an incredibly rich voice that just blew me away. Think a soulful, blonde Evanescence-style group. Did I mention she's only 17?

Here's my favorite song so far: "Just Tonight"

Here is the video she did as the face of John Galliano's new perfume Parlez-Moi d'Amour. The video is set to her own song "You."

So what do you think? Does she have a chance in the music world or should she stick with acting?

Trend Alert: How To Wear Knee High Socks

No longer just a uniform accessory for school girls, knee high socks are making a big comeback this season for women of all ages. Spied constantly on the stars and repeatedly on the set of Gossip Girl, these socks are truly strutting their stuff!

The look is so easy, simple and cute. These socks especially make a great transition piece for fall, allowing you to transform shorts or a skirt into a colorful, weather appropriate outfit.

I love them paired with a sophisticated oxford heel or cute bootie, as seen on Blake Lively below. They also make a perfect couple with the growing trend of tall boots as seen on Victoria Beckham and Jessica Alba (below).

Available in many different colors and prints, these stylin' socks are taking the center stage when it comes to fall wardrobes everywhere. If you want in on the trend, check out our new collection of knee highs.

My favorites? The Argyle Addict Knee High Socks in Brown and the Kawaii Crocheted Knee High Socks in Teal.
