Who can ID the long grey blazer Blake is wearing in this episode of Gossip Girl?

I assume it will be an expensive piece... Where to find something similar that a student can afford?

From Gossip Girl to Lagerfeld's 'dream girl': Blake Lively named as new face of Chanel handbags

Either that or she is genuinely overwhelmed with joy to be the new face of Chanel’s Mademoiselle handbag line.

Speaking about her appointment, the Gossip Girl star bafflingly gushed: ‘How did Cinderella feel when she slipped on the glass slipper? How did Snow White feel when she met her Prince Charming?

‘A dream come true is an understatement. I can say that I feel like the happiest, luckiest girl around’.

The 23-year-old - who was clearly struggling to play it cool - continued: ‘Though I am the face of it [the Mademoiselle handbag], I will carry it like every girl.

‘I will always feel it’s more than just a purse. It’s a quilted case full of lipstick, love letters and the dreams and possibilities that I have always felt every time I see that beautiful CC.’

Unlike many celebrity endorsements though. Lively does seem to genuinely like the product.

The actress has regularly been seen carrying Chanel's iconic chain-strap handbags both in Gossip Girl and walking around New York.

So it must be a bonus to now be paid to carry the Mademoiselles.

Many fashion bloggers have been speculating for months that Lively would be following in the footsteps of Lily Allen and Vanessa Paradis as Chanel’s latest fresh-faced handbag Ambassador.

The Gossip Girl has been pictured with Karl Lagerfeld many times since he unveiled the range of bags at Chanel’s cruise show last May.

Lively and Lagerfeld were first properly introduced by their mutual friend Anna Wintour at Chanel’s couture show last July.

The Chanel designer has described the actress as ‘a kind of American dream girl.’

Lagerfeld told reporters that the shoot for the handbag’s advertising campaign, which took place at Chanel’s Rue Cambon HQ, ‘was an easy job because everyone fell in love with her’.

Lively was also spotted modelling alongside Lagerfeld at the Paris Ritz Hotel for a US Vogue photo shoot.

The budding friendship has even sparked cyber-rumours that the German designer might be tempted into making a Gossip Girl cameo - following in the footsteps of Lady Gaga, Tyra Banks, Rachel Zoe and Ivanka Trump.

Lively’s campaign should be hitting the magazine shelves in March. But some of the quilted Mademoiselle bags are already on sale retailing at between £1,250 and £19,000.

BLAKE LIVELY, CHANEL'S AMBASSADRESS FOR THE MADEMOISELLE HANDBAG LINE

Karl Lagerfeld has chosen Blake Lively, a rising star on the American movie scene, as the official face of the "MADEMOISELLE" handbag line. Her spontaneity and fresh, youthful image have convinced CHANEL that she is the right person to represent the house and this range of bags.
The launch of the "MADEMOISELLE" campaign, photographed by Karl Lagerfeld, is scheduled for mid-March 2011 and a dedicated "MADEMOISELLE" page will open at the same time with more content.

Please don't quote photos

Thanks a lot!

(I don't know if this is the place to ask my question, hope it's not a problem) This jacket is made in sizes 0, 2 and 4, but only 4 is still available online. However I don't know what European size that is. My size for jackets is usually small (36), sometimes XS (34).
Would a size 4 fit me or is this a bad idea?

 

[Label Basher]

^ American 4 is a UK 8, Italian 40, French 36 and usually classed as a small.

Buying a jacket over the internet can be a bit of a risk but if you get a bigger size you can get it tailored to fit you. Does that help?

 

[Katrien]

Yes, it does, thank you! And good remark about the tailoring.
A 2 may be too tight if I want to wear something underneath it, but a 4 won't and even if it does I could get it tailored.
I still think it's quiet a high price for a relatively basic blazer but then I can't seem to find a similar one anywhere else...

(Sorry to talk off topic)

I don't get people questioning her being chosen for a campaign....Chanel has a very long history of choosing beautiful, young, 'happening' actresses for it's ads- I think she will look wonderful!!

 

[Manuva]

^Me neither. I love the idea of having someone so vibrant for Chanel. She's not cool and aloof like alot of the other Chanel girls. I can't wait to see the pictures.
