The Proenza Schouler set is still all over Hollywood, and Gossip Girl's Leighton Meester was seen posing with this Proenza Schouler PS1 bag in Columbian Mochilla print at the Marchesa after show dinner at Mercedes-Benz fashion week.

I was curious to see how well this range of bags would actually work in situ, and the real-life Blair Waldorf is certainly the perfect model for demonstrating how it's done. Worn with a preppy patterned skirt that clashes just a little, a hot pair of ankle boots and matching deep-red lipstick, it all comes together just right.
