Alexis Bledel Style: Name that Bag!

I admit it, I was and still am a Gilmore Girls watcher. It was not something that I sat to watch weekly, but when those re-runs come on, I find myself drawn to the mother-daughter bond show, where everything is so peachy keen. The only way I can relate is because my mother’s and my relationship is strong, but other than that, it is just another show to watch when winding down the day. Even if you did not watch the show, you must admit that Alexis Bledel is a stunning young woman. The dark hair, crystal blue eyes, and light complexion makes her resemble a fragile porcelain doll. Apparently, the paparazzi even follows her around town, and caught Alexis Bledel out for lunch at 4th Cafe in West Hollywood. She sported a casual look, with a flowing sun dress, little sandals, and a small white handbag. Her sun dress unfortunately reminds me of a dreaded dress I wore in 7th grade that I loved at the time but looked like a piece of cheap fabric when I think about it now. Yet her white handbag is cute, small, compact, and cute. Can you Name that Bag!
