Ah, Gossip Girl. We miss it. Luckily, the CW hit makes it return with a bunch of new episodes on September 1st.

Just in case you want your little GG fix now, head on over to Henri Bendel's next Sunday, when the luxe store will debut its new window displays, which were created by the costume designer of the teen drama, Eric Daman. The preppy looks that will be placed on the mannequins were inspired by Blair, Serena, and Jenny.

Meanwhile, check out America Ferrera's reaction upon hearing some of the new hook-ups on the Gossip Girl lot. Priceless.

When you tune into Gossip Girl, what are you most interested in? How Little J will come up with the cash for new designer duds? What kind of twisted scheme B will come up with? Whether S will be able to stay out of trouble? Or, are you more interested in what everyone will be wearing?

Maria promised to change up her Wimbledon outfit, and and she came through. Her "menswear-inspired" Nike outfit is a decidedly sexy, sheer top with a tudexo "dickie" embellishing the front. With the matching white jacket and white shorts, she could as easily be on her way to lunch as to a championship match.

Players frequently blend in at Wimbledon, where everyone is required to wear white from head to toe. A few, like Sharapova, manage to stand out despite this restriction.

Five-time champion Roger Federer, also sponsored by Nike, does it with a surprise look each year. Others, like Rafa Nadal and his manpris, have their own unique and consistent look that they bring to every match. Not to mention regular fashion notables Serena and Venus Williams, who are almost as well known for their fashion off the court as they are for winning on the court.

Everyone wants the Gossip Girl look but let's face it, the looks from the show can get expensive. The girls on the show are rich prep school students who have never uttered the word "budget." I will help you get Serena's schoolgirl look for less than the price of her designer handbag.

• Camel colored coat from Victoria's Secret, $99.00
  
• Merona plaid tie from Target, $9.99
• Mossimo white top from Target, $6.29
• Plaid school uniform skirt from Hot Topic, $15.98
• Camel handbag with pocket detail from Rampage, $19.99
• Gold gloves from Totally Costumes, $6.95 (you will need to cut these shorter)
• Xhiliration black tights from Target, $5.99

Grand total- $164.19

Remember you can also find this look by hitting your local school uniform supply store, vintage shops, and you can even borrow your dad's necktie to achieve this look for less.

Serena from Gossip Girl knows how to make a school uniform look cool. In this picture she is wearing her favorite Nanette Lepore sequined sweater over top of her school uniform. The problem is the sweater alone will cost you around $300, a little too much for a girl on a budget.

This look takes a bit of creativity, as the cardigan is pretty much one a a kind. I took an over-sized gray cardigan and draped a sequin scarf around the collar to achieve the look. Of course you could also go nuts at the fabric store and attempt to create your own version of this hip sweater as well.

• Gray cardigan from Simply Vera, $38.40
• Gold sequin scarf from Torrid, $5.98
• Plaid skirt from Hot Topic, $15.98
• Plaid tie (under the sweater) from French Toast, $3.98
• Over the knee socks, $5.99
• T-strap shoes by Anne Taylor, $24.99
• White top from Target, $6.49

Grand total- $101.81
