Katie Cassidy was shooting a new episode for Season 4 of Gossip Girl with co-star Chace Crawford at Columbia University last Wednesday. Her outfit consisted of a light gray ruched dress topped with a navy blue pinstriped blazer. Her look was accented with a multi-strand pearl necklace. Classy! But what is that pop of color I see dangling from Katie’s hand? It’s the CC Skye Turner Hobo in a delicious shade of red! Yummy!

The CC Skye Turner Hobo is the perfect everyday bag. I love the classic hobo shape and the gentle pleating detail. The leather is super soft, but lightweight as well. The gold tone hardware and studs are understated, drawing the eye in and holding your interest without taking away from the overall look of the bag. It isn’t classic, but it isn’t trendy either. What a great way to update your look! Katie did a great job picking this beauty out! Or was that the handy work of the Gossip Girl wardrobe staff?

Jessica Alba was spotted shopping in Soho last Monday. The actress was wearing a really cute outfit for her little outing. I love how she paired a casual, high-waist skirt with a simple tank. She accessorized her look with a long cameo pendant and a spiked leather bracelet. But what really caught my attention was her handbag. It is so gorgeous! Despite this instant attraction, however, the handbag’s identity seemed to elude me. Who makes this bag? It turns out that it is the Ralph Lauren Collection Suede Slouchy Hobo, which is new for Fall 2010. This hobo features a wider than normal silhouette that gently slouches when worn on the shoulder. I love the unique look of the double shoulder straps with their buckle detail. I also love the concealed zipper pockets on the front. The diagonal lines they create give this bag a feeling of grace and elegance, despite its large size. Nice choice, Jessica!

Jessica Szohr was out and about in New York City on Wednesday. The Gossip Girl had just finished paying a visit to Regis and Kelly! For the occasion, Jessica was dressed from head to toe in crisp white attire. She accented her look with some very dramatic earrings (Wow, just look at those things!) and a navy blue handbag. But wait, isn’t that the Rebecca Minkoff Heavy Metal Flame Satchel? Well… not exactly. It is actually the Linear Stud Flame from last year. But this year’s version (the Heavy Metal Flame) is just as gorgeous! I just love that stud-encrusted look! And Rebecca Minkoff does it so well, not too chunky and a little bit feminine. I also love the delicate tassels and Speedy-like shape. It looks simply stunning showcased with Jessica’s otherwise monochromatic outfit, but you could wear this bag with just about anything! This would make a great everyday handbag for this upcoming Fall!
