Ray of Inspirology: Blake Lively For Chanel S/S 2011 Mademoiselle Campaign

When I first heard that Blake Lively is the new face of Chanel handbags' ads, I had doubts because I don't see the spark between this brand and the Gossip Girl actress. Well, the promotion photos are finally out to the public and I must say, I am fairly surprised by this combination.

The photos are shot by Karl Lagerfeld and I am loving how he uses the mirror as the backdrop (as you may know, mirror is an iconic item in Chanel history). Since the color tone is very dull in the set,  it makes the red version of the Mademoiselle handbag really stands out (well the other two are not bad too, but they blend in with the background). Of course, Blake's performance is not bad in the photos either which she gives a very intense expression to attract us to see the campaign. What do you think?
