We’ve all had our down-in-the-dumps moment, and actress Minka Kelly experienced hers when she received less than stellar reviews for her acting chops in the TV series Charlie’s Angels.
It was a lesson learned for the American actress, but she tried to do what she does best, and that’s to move forward, acting-wise and fashion-wise.
Just months after the television series Charlie’s Angels was canceled, she was busy promoting her new film The Roommate, which also stars fellow fashionista, Leighton Meester.

In the psychological thriller film, Minka portrays fashion design student Sara Matthews, and her style is absolutely covetable (props to the stylist!).
The movie was released on February 4, 2011, when Minka Kelly was 30-years-old. Born on June 24, 1980, in Los Angeles, she turned 31 on June 24, 2011.
Leighton Meester was born on April 9, 1986, and turned 25 on April 9, 2011. She was still 24 when The Roommate was released. It’s considered one of the worst movies released in that year.

Right now, we’d like to put the spotlight on Minka Kelly as we unveil her handbag collection through her “out and about” appearances.
Also, we like to think that she’s a jeans-kind-of-person, judging from her candid photos — nothing glamorous, just pure sassiness!
