Spotted: VBH Handbag on Serena Van Der Woodsen

Here’s Blake Lively looking grunge chic and fabulous while filming a scene for Gossip Girl. I have to hand it to this girl, she looks good in anything. I think she can even pull off a garbage bag if she wants to. Oh well, the rewards of being tall, blond, sexy, and beautiful…

Ok, enough about Blake. She’s actually here because of that lovely blue bag she’s carrying. What a lovely nice color to match with an earthy toned outfit, yah? Well, save for the purple pants I mean. Blake’s blue bag is the VBH Top Handle. It’s another classic and perhaps plain looking piece, but the blue color does wonders to its appeal. It also comes in a warm pinkish red color:

Like it?

If you want one, you can visit the VBH boutique in New York (Madison Avenue). You can also try checking BrownsFashion and Net-A-Porter, though the last time I checked, they didn’t have the top handle in stock. The VBH website (vbh-luxury.com) will not give you anything either. Simply put, this brand is quite exclusive and hard to find (well, not unless you’re in New York, of course). VBH bags are quite pricey too. A clutch for instance, will cost you about US$1000, so be prepared to splurge.

If spending thousands of dollars on a bag is not your kind of thing, but you like the classy and classic appeal, I have a very good suggestion for you. Try the the new ostrich embossed Melinda bags from Kate Spade. I guarantee, you won’t be disappointed:
