15 Reasons Why Gossip Girl is Worthy of All the XO’s in the World

Nothing gathers the girls quite like hearing, “Good morning, Upper East Siders! Gossip Girl here. Your one and only source into the scandalous lives of Manhattan’s elite.” Yes, Gossip Girl is the show we binge watch in order to get a little taste of the ultra fabulous lifestyles of New York’s rich kids. This show has parties with background music as clinking champagne flutes, drama thats of soap opera proportions, romance thats never short of a little spice, and fashion thats all about the drool worthy designer duds.

So here’s all the reasons we love Gossip Girl, and all those glamorous trust fund babies it chronicles. 

1. Well, to get the obvious out of the way, lets just start with fashion. GG has the most drool worthy designer duds that make even Sex and the City feel some competition for best-dressed show.

2. We can vicariously live through the main character’s ultra fab lifestyles of penthouse apartments, money, parties, money, extravagant vacations, money, fashion and did I mention money?
