| 1. | Ignore malicious rumors spread by your cruel classmates. Serena wasn't fazed by the constant gossip and controversy over her alleged drug usage and promiscuous ways. Simply turn a deaf ear to your classmates when they decide to spotlight your negatives (because secretly, you know you're flawless!). After all, all this trash they talk about you is just making you famous! Granted, Serena has a rep among the Upper East Side as Blair's slutty other half, but hey! We all know her name now, don't we? didn't think so. |
| 2. | You do not need to spend a fortune on clothes! Yes, Serena is blessed with great financial wealth and therefore can afford Fifth Avenue name-brands, but remember, it's not what label you wear but how you wear it and in general how it looks! Get creative! Serena is famous for her style of "new clothes looking perfectly worn and thoughtless." Sift through vintage shops or scour the city for obscure hole-in-the-wall designers that sell avant garde outfits for bargain prices! |
| 3. | The less make up, the better! You don't hear about Serena caking on face powder, eyeliner and concealers! Serena wears the bare minimal of make up, just a touch of sparkly lip gloss (Urban Decay lip gloss in Gash, Chapsticks in Cherry and pale pink Vincent Longo gloss have all been mentioned). If you have problem skin, DO NOT FRET! Visit the dermatologist stat to clear up any issues. Always moisturize with non-scented creams (i.e Nivea) and don't go overboard on the face washing! |
| 4. | The first thing you need to do to become more like Serena is improve your appearance. Serena is breathtakingly beautiful. A goddess. Wanna be a goddess? You gotta look ah-mazing! Let's start with your skin. Serena has perfect skin. To achieve this, you will need to do the following every day! |
| 5. | Wash face with a good facial cleanser that fits your type of skin. |
| 6. | Apply Proactiv or another creme if you have acne issues |
| 7. | Apply mosturizer if you have dry skin |
| 8. | Apply lotion all over after shower/bath |
| 9. | Shave legs and armpits every day |
| 10. | Work on your hair. Serena's hair is blonde. If you have blonde hair, great! Otherwise, your hair color is not a major issue. Serena is not a fake so do not dye it completely blonde if you can't take exeptional care of it to keep it looking natural. |
| 11. | Wash hair daily with shampoo and conditioner (such as Bumble and Bumble, Tresemme, or whatever works with your hair). |
| 12. | Wash with lotion on the weekends |

| 14. | Straighten in the morning! |
| 15. | Apply natural makeup. Apply makeup that is your skin color and that will only enhance your features. |
| 16. | Dress yourself in designer clothes such as Gucci and Prada. If you cant afford those buy Calvin Klein, Kenneth Cole, Juicy Couture. These will be even less expensive if you go to an outlet mall. You can find 20 shirts (Calvin Klein) and many more good deals that cost less than the Abercrombie&Fitch price. |
| 17. | Get designer shoes. Some like Jimmy Choo, Miu Miu, and Prada are expensive but brands like Steve Madden, Nine West and Coach are usually under $100. If your feet are a size 7 1/2-8 or below YOU CAN STILL FIT INTO KIDS SHOES! Places like Nordstroms have very clasy 'big kid's shoes' like satin platforms, Ugg clogs and Steve Madden flats for as little as 50-60 dollars. They also have Ugg boots, & Juicy Couture shoes for $100. Check online, you'll be surprised at how mature the shoes are. |
| 18. | Develop an attitude that is nice. |
| 19. | Have fun! If there's one thing Serena rocks at, it's partying! Totally enjoy yourself, dance on tabletops , flirt with guys and dance your kilograms off. |
| 20. | Try to develop Serena's personality. Serena is super sweet to everybody. She never brushes people away, even if they are annoying. With this character all you need to do is smile dazzlingly at every guy, and they will all fall in love with you, guaranteed. |
| 21. | Create trademark features for yourself. Serena has her own trademark perfume, and a personal quote that goes with her signature: 'You know you love me.' |
| 22. | You do not have to be slender to look like Serena. |
| 23. | Make yourself seen in classy boutiques and shopping complexes, and don't be afraid to go by yourself, although having friends with you might help. |
| 24. | Find a best friend who is like Blair Waldorf: glamourous, smart, and pretty. |
| 25. | Don't get a fixed boyfriend. Serena mingles with everybody,so don't commit yourself to only one person! |
| 26. | Be bold, be daring and sometimes be BAD. We all know Serena isn't the best-behaved girl in the Upper East Side. She has a mysterious history, so create your own. |
| 27. | READ THE GOSSIP GIRL BOOKS. That's the only way to know the characters! Also, don't forget to watch Gossip Girl on the CW (and adore Chuck, Dan, and Nate!) |
| 28. | People are going to spread the most ridiculous rumours about you, but just pretend you don't know about them. |
| 29. | Random creeps are going to perve on you, or possibly stalk you. Don't do anything about it, but avoid all trouble if possible. |
