Blake Lively x Cartier Classic Feminine Bag

Is it bad that I had to sing the Fergie song to spell that correctly or is it bad that I want to wear this tote with high gloves and a big hat and speak in a British accent? I don’t know why, just go with it. This tote is glorious. I have always, always been a sucker for black and white. My prom dress at age 16 was simple, long black with a white stripe on top. When I’m in doubt, I go for my favorite black and white combo for an interview. This bag is no exception to my obsession. The beaded flower brooch set on the perfect ivory patent leather is so simple and easy and oh, so, glam. I picture myself toting this bag away while wearing this shirt dress and some tights with tall boots while shopping for Christmas gifts and sipping hot chocolate and snacking on Junior Mints that I have stashed in said tote.I love the old school feel to this bag. Back when hair poof’s were glam (Breakfast @ Tiffany’s style) and things were classy.Pick it up at Neiman Marcus for $1,595.00.

Tiffany’s isn’t the only jeweler that’s getting some TV time, courtesy “Gossip Girl.” Blake Lively was recently seen toting around Cartier’s new Classic Feminine handbag. A limited edition version of a new style introduced into the Cartier leathergoods range, Blake’s sporting the large zebra furry calfskin model, with a flap in brown ebony calfskin and elaphe. A quick look and it’s a simplistic style: a top handle with a removable shoulder strap make it versatile, while a flat pocket in the back allows for quick storage. To protect its fa?ade, four square metallic studs serve as feet. Inside, it’s plenty roomy: one large protective flap with two closure magnets, two inside compartments, one central zipped pocket and one large cell phone pocket, natch. Overall, it’s a subtle, classic bag that sits on the fence between boring and eye-catching. Either way, it’s the perfect complement to Serena van der Woodsen.$2,400, available at select Cartier boutiques
