you know you love me

One of the interesting things about Gossip Girl paparazzi shots is that you can buy the characters’ outfits months before they’ll wear them on TV.

Today, Leighton Meister was shot lugging a giant Robert Clergerie tote and matching shoes in between scenes.

It’s funny because presumably, the new episodes will take place during the Spring, so what’s Blair doing in a winter coat?

Also, have you ever noticed how matchy-matchy she is?

It never occurred to me until I saw her shoes and handbag by the same designer.

Is this the return of totally matching accessories?  Or will Serena and Jenny counteract the Queen B with Converse and Chanel bags?
