The Inner Vamp is indulgent and knows how to make herself feel and look beautiful just for herself alone - you just gotta love that!

Just because Gossip Girl ended does not mean we can still have opulence in our lives! If you are like me then you just love the drama that comes with Pomp & Circumstance the Opulent Vamp is the one. Overdressing is the only option for this dame, gowns are a standard as are jewels that will make even the Queen lust after.

How To Spot Her: She is usually in the Society pages in the Newspaper. Her calendar is filled with endless charity events and more then likely Derek Blasberg is a good girlfriend. She loves a dress above all things and is not scared to strut her stuff in a frock that weighs more then her!
Get Vamp'ed: For each and every occasion overdress - it's just that simple. Now mon petites don't go around looking like Miss Havisham but wear a big puffy frock and don't care. Flood yourself with jewels throw on a fur coat (faux or real - we prefer the latter - don't judge us!) and hit the town.
