One of my spies in the Hamptons has spotted Serena on the beach every single day of the summer so far.  And every day she is wearing a different bathing suit!  She has not repeated a swimsuit once!  Can you believe that??  Plus Serena’s hair has gotten even lighter and her skin even darker.  She looks better than ever.  We’re hoping she’s breaking some hearts out there.  Girl deserves a fun summer.

Sant Ambroeus
This Upper East Side staple is where Serena van der Woodsen goes for her caffeine fix. She also loves coming here for gab sessions with her bestie, Blair Waldorf.
Bethesda Terrace
Located in Central Park, this is one of the most beautiful landmarks in New York City. Serena comes here whenever she is feeling down.
Chelsea Piers
Since New York City gets pretty cold during the winter, Serena loves coming to this indoors sports complex. She enjoys everything from bowling to rockclimbing to rollerblading. This place has it all!
Barney’s
Wonder where Serena gets all of her amazing clothes? Barney’s is her absolute favorite store in New York and she can be found here a lot.
Paul LaBrecque
Whenever Serena needs a haircut she heads to her favorite Upper East Side salon for a fabulous cut and blow dry. Her hair is to die for!
The Metropolitan Museum of Art
There’s so much beyond the Steps! Serena can spend hours looking at all the amazing art at this NYC institution.
