leighton-meester-chanel.jpgLeighton Meester may have been named as the new face of Missoni, but she's not going to give up her eclectic (and extensive) handbag collection yet, and as our recent investigation into iconic bags and their owners we know that it comprises pretty much every designer name out there! And today's Leighton Meester handbag of choice is brought to you by the brand that co-star Blake Lively is currently promoting: Chanel!

Questions of loyalty aside, the pillar-box red quilted handbag just shows how a cute accessory can make and outfit, and it provides the centrepiece of this winter outerwear look. We love the way she's teamed it with a matching red hat and plaid skirt.
