I've never really considered myself a girlie-girl, but something about this season's ruffles have really been floatin' my boat. Of course, ruffles can tread a fine line between sweet and... well, a little too frou-frou. So if you're not about to go the overly-cutesie route, consider wearing your ruffles not on your sleeve or your neckline, but your handbag! What's great about ruffled bags is that they let you go as frilly as you want without making you look costume-y, or just plain ridiculous. Go for something over-sized in a neutral shade like this romantic Be & D Ruffled Tote, or if you prefer something a little more subtle, this BCBG Ruffled Clutch has tiered ruffles that aren't quite so voluminous.

From laidback boho-chic to high-fashion glamazon, Gossip Girl star Leighton Meester loves to play around with fashion and has a knack for pulling off just about any style. At the Longchamp 60th Anniversary Celebration, Leighton radiated confidence and sex-appeal wearing a body-con BCBG Max Azria black dress paired with ultra funky black and white mary-jane pumps. To keep from looking too over the top, Leighton went easy on the accessories with black-stoned drop earrings and an oversized flower cocktail ring, resulting in a stunning look that was both super sexy and classically chic. Check out my SLIDESHOW to get this luscious LBD look!
