Serena van der Woodsen in Mulberry’s Bayswater Suede Bag

TGIF! I’ve had the longest and most confusing week trying to recuperate from my overseas trip. There was a lot of cooking at my house (by me) to appease a sulking boy (not the 5 year old) for my absence. I’m looking forward to a weekend of fun with friends (4 birthday parties!) and thought i should feature a fun clutch in case you’re in the mood for something different. This Blue Gioia Feather Clutch is like a piece of art, made of pearlized lamb suede– it has a grille inspired by a traditional Japanese screen crafted from 18K gold-plated brass set over bright blue peacock feathers. Fabulous? With a capital F! Has detachable chain, flap closure and is 8″× 4 ?”. Made by by Raven Kauffman for $1,395.00 (not bad for such a unique accessory!) Have a lovely weekend, everyone!

I’m a little upset with Gossip Girl at the moment; not only have the story lines gotten increasingly unrealistic (and this is coming from someone who grew-up going to an Upper East Side private school and graduated from college just a few years ago), but Blake Lively’s character Serena keeps wearing the most RIDICULOUS outfits! Slutty cocktail dresses in the middle of the day!? No. Just NO. Given this you can imagine my surprise when, in character, Lively was photographed on set in the above outfit sporting the Mulberry Bayswater suede bag ($995). Versatile, age-appropriate, and well-priced, my only beef with the bag is the crocodile-stamped suede which I think cheapens it a bit. What do you think about Serena’s Mulberry? Snob or Slob?
