Bonjour Gossip Girl

Spotted: Serena van der Woodsen commandeering the boho Left Bank, while Blair Waldorf rules the Right Bank on last night's season premiere of Gossip Girl. With brush in hand and a sexy male model languishing on the bed, Serena paints when she isn't hanging out at the arty Cafe de Flore. Meanwhile, Blair stares at Manet paintings and reads Colette in the park. Bien sûr, these belles de jours - which is the episode's title - hit the department stores on Boulevard Haussmann and stay awhile at Tally Weijl. Romance and drama swirl at Baccarat, a trendy gourmet restaurant in the heart of Paris. But, ooh la la, things aren't always what they seem.

Color me happy with all the lush images of Rue du Faubourg St. Honoré, Notre Dame, and the Eiffel Tower. If only les jeunes filles lived here all the time! And speaking of color, select the lucky color of the day at Sherwin-Williams, and you could win the $4,500 Grand Prize, which ought to cover a few fabulous days in the City of Light. You know you love it! Bisou, bisou.

Paris: In The Thicke of Things

Robin Thicke muses, "In Paris, I can just walk all day long, from the Arc de Triomphe to the Louvre and over the bridge to the Left Bank." Chase is giving away an ultimate reward getaway for two to Paris, inspired by Robin, plus a signed, original treatment of his music video, "Lost Without U." Along with two tickets to paradise, I mean, Paris, the prize includes three nights at the Renaissance Paris Vendome and $200 for dinner at Le Train Bleu. (If the restaurant looks familiar, you may have seen it in Luc Besson's film, La Femme Nikita. Coco Chanel, Brigitte Bardot, Jean Cocteau, and Salvador Dali used to be regulars.) Now that's an ultimate reward! Chase this down and enter.
