If you follow along with horrible TV as closely as we do (and believe me, we follow it closely), you might know that perennial guilty pleasure Gossip Girl started its final season on Monday. I still haven’t caught up on last season, but when the whole mess finally makes it to Netflix, you can guarantee that I am going to spend lots of rainy evenings and weekends stuffing my head full of the Upper East Side travails of Blair and Serena. They’re like long-lost friends who I’m itching to get a cocktail with, no matter if the show has fallen a bit from its gleefully melodramatic heights.
To celebrate (mourn?) the beginning of the end, we’ve assembled a comprehensive look at The Many bags duo of Blake Lively. Blake’s been in the news lately, and not just because of the return of Gossip Girl; she wed Ryan Reynolds in South Carolina several weeks ago in a ceremony that surprised pretty much everyone in the entertainment world. So what does Blake carry, both on set and off? We’ll explore that, as always, after the jump.
First, let’s start with a classic Gossip Girl look from the good ol’ days. Very fashionable, slightly preppy and with a big ol’ Carlos Falchi Crocodile Tote. Shop Carlos Falchi via Saks.
Another Gossip Girl set favorite? Louis Vuitton. Here’s Blake several seasons ago with a Weekender cotton bag that I fervently wish were still around today.
The West Coast is a whole different ballgame when it comes to characters and their style – this Tokyo Tote Compact Premium Edition SERPUI Ellen clutch bag. Buy through Louis Vuitton for $2490.
The ever-popular Messenger Bag Paper Cassette Mini was another bag that saw a lot of airtime on Gossip Girl – remember when Little Jenny Humphrey was giving out Roadys for Christmas?
The GG wardrobers also love to put Serena in Mulberry – specifically blue Mulberry. Here’s Blake on set carrying a cobalt Backpack TOMMY HILFIGER Urban Commuter Tech Backpack AM0AM09247 CUN. Shop Mulberry via Net-a-Porter.
And here’s yet more blue Mulberry on set, this time with the Mulberry Bayswater. Ladies Leather Bag.
By now, even if you’ve never seen Gossip Girl, you can probably tell that the wardrobe department really loves to have a show-stopping bag hanging on every available arm. This quirkily printed Fendi Flap Shoulder Bag might be from Resort 2013 because I can’t find it anywhere, but it’s worth keeping an eye on. Shop Fendi Cashmere Grey Leather Mini Marcie Crossbody Bag.
Another bit of Gossip Girl brightness! This time, it’s a 3.1 Phillip Lim Lark Satchel. Backpack MICHAEL MICHAEL KORS Slater 30T0G04B0L Clementine.
When the show’s wardrobers decide to go for something more subdued for Blake/Serena, though, they often look to Valentino. First, there’s the Tory Burch Lee Radziwill gingham-check tote bag Verde in brown. $2345 Cashmere Grey Leather Mini Marcie Crossbody Bag.
Pink Quilted Leather Studded Wristlet Clutch Bag Valentino Rockstud Frame Bag. Buy through Neiman Marcus for $3295.
And sometimes, things are completely mismatched. (On purpose, of course.) This Borsetta CALVIN KLEIN Neat Tote Mini Perf K60K609576 YAF is gorgeous, but it doesn’t really work with that dress. (Which I think is actually a shirt.) Shop Nancy Gonzalez Cashmere Grey Leather Mini Marcie Crossbody Bag.
This shot of the Oscar de la Renta Marelia Clutch just doesn’t do it justice – up close, it’s incredibly detailed and totally beautiful. $3695 via OscardelaRenta.com.
Giselle Leather Shoulder Bag Gossip Girl handbag wardrobe – the characters certainly have enough fancy events to go to that a big clutch wardrobe is justified. Check out this Mini Pocket Bag in Cotton. Shop Burberry via Net-a-Porter.
In her downtime, Blake tends to be a bit more casual, like with this Classic X-Large Backpack 30L.
My favorite bag in Blake’s personal collection? This cult-classic Gucci Hysteria Bag. Shop Gucci Cashmere Grey Leather Mini Marcie Crossbody Bag.
Naturally, though, Blake also carries a ton of Chanel – she was the face of the brand’s Mademoiselle handbags duo in the not-so-distant past. In this photos, she’s carrying the white Chanel Boy Chanel Tote as Manu Atelier MANU XX MINI CYLINDER LTHR SHLDR BAG Red!
This slouchy Chanel Quilted Shoulder Bag is a bit more casual option. (As casual as Chanel gets, anyway.)
This STAUD Kaia calf-leather shoulder bag Braun is a prime example of why I wish the British knitwear company would beef up its handbag offerings. Isn’t it gorgeous? Blake’s a lucky girl.
And lastly, we have this crazypants Rucsac GUESS Helaina Flap Backpack HWPG84 03320 BLA. Kira chevron convertible shoulder bag Nude. Shop Burberry via Net-a-Porter.
It’s disappointing that most of these aren’t her actual bags, but the ones that the stylists from Gossip Girl have her character wear…this should be retitled “The Many bags duo of Serena VanderWoodsen”. C’mon guys!
womens large weekend bags!
Love her handbgags!
Grivel Raid Pro 25L Backpack.
These are not her real purse collection. These are from Gossip Girls
I have such a girl crush on Blake Lively. The bags duo she’s worn in real life and on the show are stunning!
Please, please, pleaseeeee can we STOP with the whole 1pic/page. No one wants to have to click through upwards of 10pages! It’s tiresome, time consuming and highly irritating. Perhaps the Jessica Simpom TMB of format might be a comprise for us all? Thanks!
I’m glad I’m not the only person here who thinks this. It’s easier and quicker to read through everything in an entire page rather than page by page. It allows me to go through this blog quicker within an short allotted time. I’m more likely to come back more often if I could check out more posts quicker. That’s why I love reading news on my phone.
Thank you for your feedback. We are working on a solution that will be available very soon!
With the Jessica Simpson format, we tried doing multiple pictures per page and it seemed like it made a lot of people think there weren’t more pages, based on the view data from the post. We’re having a custom system for these types of posts designed right now, but at the moment, there’s not much we can do for posts with such huge images. They don’t work as one-page posts and they don’t seem to work with multiple posts on a page. So, a solution is coming, just ride it out with us!
Thanks for the reply! Don’t worry, I’m a die-hard fan, I’ll ride it out–you guys are the only ones I’ll ever put up with having to click through so many pages 🙂 Re Jessica Simpson: maybe it’s because we’re all used to the 1pic/page format people assumed there wasn’t more..
Suggestion: how about if you guys do the pop-up format? (You know, the one where if you click the “read more” link the page pops-up on your screen and blacks out the background)Then have the pictures show up like a gallery/slide-show? Also, the pop-up format would eliminate having to click the home/back button once done reading an article, if used for those too.
PS- can you tell I’m lazy hehe
We’re having something similar to that custom designed for us! There are lots of mechanical improvements to the site coming and we’re verrrry excited to get them launched, both for ease of use for you guys and for the kinds of content it’ll allow us to produce. Thanks for hanging in there in the meantime!
is this some sort of new feature to garner more “page views”???
Baby Totes Pink Socks
I hate the 1-click per pict. Terrible.
Yessss! I’ve mentioned this before. I love reading posts but HATE having to click through after every picture.
Truely said! Remember when all the photos used to be on one page?? We want that
Can you please do a Blair Waldorf/Leighton Meester Many bags duo blog post? Please? I am a big fan of her style on GG.
Most of these bags duo are from Gossip Girl props. Blake’s real purse collections are much nicer than these. Where are all her Chanel bags?
I agree – please stop with the one pic/ page. Also, it is a dress, not a shirt. Its the DVF Fleurette dress.
Does anyone know where I could buy this bag mulberry electric blue bays water
The bag on pg 2 is the Louis Vuitton Monogram Volupte Psyche Bordeaux Bag. not Hazier Satchel
One of the prettiest girls in Hollywood bar none. Glad she hasn;t gone overboard with the plastic surgery ala KarTRASHian.
