Leighton Meester on set of Gossip Girl S5.

Fresh look for the fresh season.

Spotted: Leighton Meester looking bright in a gorgeous outfit typical of her Upper East Side it-girl alter ego, Blair Waldorf. Looking polished and well put together as ever, every inch of her look screams "city girl". 

"Blair" is wearing a yellow blouse by Peter Som and a Stella McCartney skirt. Her pumps are by Brian Atwood and the cute orange tote bag is by Riki Rosetta:

Nikki Reed's "Morning After Bag"

Arm candy
 

Doesn't Nikki Reed look fabulous? Not only is her outfit cute, but it doesn't try too hard and is extremely age appropriate. Nikki tops off her look with a gorgeous handbag by Rebecca Minkoff called the "Morning After Bag".

I don't even know where to start with this handbag except for the fact that it's absolutely beautiful! It's also simple and universal with a wide range of styles. Other celebrity fans of the M.A.B include Britney Spears and Hayden Panettiere. Here are two of my favourites:

Vanessa Hudgen's stunning Alexander Wang bag

A true work of art

As my favourite thing when it comes to fashion is handbags, you won't be surprised to hear that my jaw quite literally dropped at the sight of this beauty on Vanessa Anne Hudgens' arm (in the picture above). This bag is definitely going on my wishlist.

Alexander Wang is a celebrity favourite, and with handbags like this, I can see why. The "Diego" bucket bag is black leather, with studded detailing, some pockets and a choice of two straps. I just love everything about it!

Additionally, I can't talk about this bag while ignoring the other fabulous accessories. She has on a cute pair of Betsey Johnson sunglasses, and a Barneys New York woven belt.

Hilary Duff's YSL platform sandals

Hilary's jaw-dropping YSLs

Have you ever seen such a magnificant work of art - I sure haven't! Hilary Duff is pictured above wearing an incredibly stylish outfit, looking perfect from head to toe, but what stands out are her shoes.

Hilary is wearing a pair of Yves Saint Laurent "Hamptons" Platform Sandals, which reflect the signature style of the YSL shoe. What I love about the shoes are the rope detail and the beautiful creamy brown colour of the leather.

The shoes are the perfect choice to glam up any casual outfit, which is exactly what Hilary Duff has done. It's been a while since I wrote this post, and the shoes are no longer available but for a similar style (in black) click here and click here to visit the official site to find out more about YSL and to shop the collection.

Side note: Hilary Duff is wearing a Louis Vuitton Neverfull GM – Timeless tote.

Designer Feature: J.J. Winters

During a little fashion research, I came across J.J. Winters and her amazing collection of handbags. J.J. Winters is a celebrity handbag designer that is hugely popular in Hollywood.

The collection is for handbag lovers (me) who are looking for something stylish but totally original. What I love about the collection is that every bag is different and there is something for everyone. Sophisticated, eccentric, conservative, childish, boho, laid-back - whoever you are, you are guaranteed to find something to suit your style. The line includes out-there styles which use tassles and snakeskin, as well as more classic designs.

J.J. Winters' bags have been worn by a countless number of celebrities. Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Selena Gomez, Miley Cyrus, Sienna Miller, Tori Spelling, Khloe Kardashian, Nicky Hilton, Hilary Duff, Brenda Song, Haylie Duff, Ashley Greene, Sandra Bullock, Megan Fox, Vanessa Anne Hudgens, Amanda Bynes, Halle Berry, Blake Lively, Ashley Tisdale, AnnaLynne McCord and many more - phew!

J.J. Winters also has a small collection of cute belts. Visit www.jjwinters.com now to see the collection!

Selena Gomez's fashion forward handbag

Casual & chic

I am a huge fan of Selena Gomez and this outfit just makes me love her even more! Selena is a huge fashion icon for me. She wears cute clothes, has amazing style and just knows how to put an outfit together in an age appropriate way. Not to mention she's totally stunning. Anyway, enough of my adoration...

This post is focusing on that cute little green bag she is wearing. I love the way it adds a sophisticated feel to her outfit. Although the bag is perfect for a day of shopping, it can certainly double for an evening clutch as well.

I did a little research and found out that the bag is by JJ Winters (will probably do a seperate post on her sometime soon). Click here to buy the bag in either green or black.

Side note: Selena's top and jeans are from Topshop and Urban Outfitters respectively.

Ricamo Shining Flower Tote as seen on Gossip Girl

A Valentino fit for a Queen

Do you remember the "Valentino 360" bag that Blair was drooling over in episode 8 of Gossip Girl season 3? Well, it is now available for all you fashion lovers to buy!

The Shining Flower Tux Tote by Valentino is absolutely gorgeous (my current personal favourite) but, comes with a hefty price tag. $4,495 from Neiman Marcus, and £2,825 from NET-A-PORTER.

I personally am in love with this handbag. It's absolutely stunning. Like a piece of artwork. My favourite girl things are handbags and so this to me is like the perfect item. Therefore, I consider it an investment:
