Henri Bendel's windows get a little help from our favorite frenemies...

The new season of Gossip Girl starts on September 1, but if you can't hold out for two more weeks, there's a little relief in sight:

Next Sunday, Henri Bendel reveals their latest Manhattan windows, designed by GG costume designer Eric Daman.  The clothes in the windows are inspired by Blair, Serena, and Jenny, ensuring that even if you can't join the girls and their evil (but oh so fun) plots at prep school, you can still do a take on their wardrobe.

You can also just run to CVS and buy a few headbands and some lip gloss, which suits the show's signature pearls-and-Converse look just fine...
