Buy the LookSilver Long Fringe Earrings India Bangle Set Wedge Tank Pencil Skirt

Blake Lively seen on Feb 25 2010 in New York, NY. Blake Lively made an appearance at the launch of Barlow at the Los Feliz taqueria in NYC's Lower East Side on February 25, along with boyfriend Penn Badgley, Ed Westwick, "White Collar" star Matt Bomer, Melissa George, and Barlow designer Molly Girard Coonan. For her evening ensemble, Blake paired a high-waisted stitched skirt (check out 7 for All Mankind's Pencil Skirt in Indigo for a denim option) with a tucked in silk tank (try Gold Hawk's Wedge Tank in Emerald) and bordeaux pumps. Jewelry wise, Blake's right wrist was adorned with a massive selection of silver bangles (get the look for less with Amrita Singh's India Metal Set in Gunmetal) and long chain earrings (similar to Circadian Studios' Silver Long Fringe Earrings). I think BL looks great here, although I must assume she was a bit cold in NYC, no? With Blake starring in the upcoming Ben Affleck-directed flick The Town, Ben took the opportunity to gush how much he adores the blonde actress. Says Affleck, "I have never seen 'Gossip Girl,' I have to say. I saw 'The Private Lives of Pippa Lee,' which she's really, really great in and she's great in my movie. This girl came in, and no one had said to me beforehand, 'Hey, look for this person.' And obviously she was really attractive, and so I thought, Oh, here comes some blonde girl. She came in, did one reading, and just crushed it. Like, Boston accent—really good. I was sort of stunned. I said, 'Jeez, you know, that was really f*cking good. Who are you?'" Uh oh, I wonder if Jen should be nervous? ;)

Buy the LookKimberly Bangle Double Faced Classic Shirt Long Sleeve Ruched Front Top Flap Oversized Blazer

Blake Lively seen on Jan 12 2010 in New York, NY. Blake Lively was the center of attention at "Gossip Girl" costume designer Eric Daman's launch party for his new book "You Know You Want It: Style-Inspiration-Confidence," which was held at Henri Bendel in NYC on January 12. Donning Stella McCartney's swoon-worthy thigh-high perforated boots from the Fall 2009 collection, Blake kept the rest of the look classic by pairing an oversized Nonoo Lyons Fall 2009 blazer (try Isabel Lu's Flap Oversized Blazer in Navy Black) with a white button-down shirt (check out Zoa's Double Faced Classic Shirt in White or Philosophy by Alberta Ferretti's Long Sleeve Ruched Front Top in White) and the slightest peek of her black bra. From there, Blake chose delicate stud earrings and a few stacked silver bangles (get the look with Amrita Singh's Kimberly Bangle in Silver), along with a glowing complexion and natural makeup. Another winning look for Blake, I'd say. Do you agree or disagree, readers? Word spread this week that BL has been cast as Carol Ferris in the highly anticipated film "The Green Lantern," and (of course) she couldn't be more thrilled. She says, "Oh my gosh, it means the world! It’s such an exciting film to be a part of, wonderful cast, wonderful studio and it’s an amazing role so I’m really thrilled." Congrats, B! Doesn't Blake just seem like such a sweetheart?

Buy the LookNinotchka Ring in Sea Surprise Dress Little Black Dress Jet Beaded Bubble Dress

Blake Lively seen on Dec 17 2009 in New York, NY. The beautiful Blake Lively was spotted vamping it up on the red carpet of the NYC premiere of "Sherlock Holmes" at the Alice Tully Hall, Lincoln Center on December 17 (and pretty much stealing the spotlight from the film's star, Rachel McAdams - and B's not even in the movie!) while braving the freezing New York temps for her sexy moment in time. Blake proudly displayed her enviable physique and killer gams in a Dolce & Gabbana Spring 2010 sheer lace strapless dress that she paired with gold glitter Christian Louboutin pigalle stilettos. While the runway version of this dress was lined so as to avoid any wardrobe malfunctions, Blake chose to rock the unlined version, flashing her panties for the world to see. What do you think, is this look too much for Blake, or did she knock it out of the park on this one? I think she looks radiant and really fantastic. I really still can't get over the fact that Blake posed in such a skimpy garment though with NYC's positively freezing temperatures! As Michael K. on Dlisted.com oh-so-hilariously put it, "Blake Lively is my hero. My space heater is on blast, I've got two pairs of socks on my feet and I'm still cold. So I have to bow down to Blake Lively for not letting something called "weather" mess with her tramping it up on the red carpet. Cameras are flashing and Blake has a show to put on! Don't let some stupid Snow Miser get in the way of you showcasing those chichis!" Hilarious, but I can't wait to hear what you think of Blake's look here everyone! For a way to replicate B's look with a little more coverage, try either Isabel Lu's Little Black Dress in Black or Eva Franco's Surprise Dress in Black, or if you are into the lace look, Sue Wong's Jet Beaded Bubble Dress in Black/Nude. Finish your look off with a striking turquoise ring like Blake's - try Megan Greene's Ninotchka Ring in Sea - and you'll be set!

Buy the LookRachel Legging Jean Cami Dropin Jacquard Scarf Wesley Motorcycle Jacket

Blake Lively seen on Dec 05 2009 in New York, NY. Blake Lively joined fellow partygoers Whitney Port and Rihanna (along with her beau Penn Badgley, of course) at a SNL after party held at Abe and Arthur's Restaurant in the Meatpacking District of NYC last night, December 5, looking chic as always. For her ensemble, Blake was the perfect mix of casual yet stylish, starting with a basic pair of black leggings (check out Tt Collection's tuxedo-like Rachel Legging in Black) and pairing them with a rich tank (try Woo's Jean Cami in Emerald Bay) and a cozy grey scarf (similar to Diesel's Dropin Jacquard Scarf). She topped off her look with a black leather jacket (I love Mike & Chris' Wesley Motorcycle Jacket in Black) and a gorgeous pair of mesh Christian Louboutin heels. What do you think of Blake's look - lively or lame? Let me know, readers! While I'm sure most of you know Blake from her character Serena Van Der Woodsen on the hit CW show "Gossip Girl," what you may not know is what B had to do to guarantee that she would get a part in her upcoming film The Private Lives of Pippa Lee. She recently told Fox News: "It was an odd thing to do but really funny. There was a point when I was crawling on all fours and Julianne was like ‘purr for me’ and I thought ‘what am I doing with my life? I’ve finally got the most respectable job of my career yet I’m being leashed up and asked to purr. But Julianne is such a wonderful, kind and happy person so that made it easy to feel safe crawling around leashed up." Ummm... interesting?

Buy the LookRose Clip Earrings Satin Belt Loop Short in Black Shruken Coat in Cream Ribbon Coat

Blake Lively seen on Nov 15 2009 in New York, NY. Blake Lively was spotted looking extra, ahem, perky as she was photographed on the red carpet of a screening for her new film, The Private Lives of Pippa Lee, at AMC Loews 19th Street Theatre in NYC on November 15. But seriously, Blake is putting her puppies on full display! I've never really noticed before, but her boobs are fake, right? There's no way that they could be that full and round without a bra. Get it, B! For her premiere look, she paired a stunning embroidered Marchesa Spring 2010 blazer with oversized bow detailing (for two similarly stylish options that offer a bit more coverage, try either Sue Wong's Ribbon Coat in Ivory or Juicy Couture's Shrunken Coat in Cream) with a pair of black short shorts (try Johnson's Satin Belt Loop Short in Black) and a pair of white heels with black lining. I am absolutely in awe of how beautiful Blake looks in this ensemble, but I have to say, I'm not feeling the shoes. They seem kind of MOB (Mother of the Bride) to me. She finished off her look with a chic black clutch and a pair of sparkling stud earrings (make a statement with Michele Michel Jewelry's unexpected Rose Clip Earrings in Silver). What is your impression of Blake's outfit here everyone? Do you think she looks hot or not? While it seems that every decade has its staple hairstyle that every woman strives to achieve (from the Farrah to the Rachel), Blake's do on "GG" is currently the most in demand. The New York Times is dubbing Blake's blonde, long and messy locks as the new Rachel, as Manhattan women have been flocking to the Toka Salon requesting the cut and style. The NYT reports that "Nuri Yurt of Toka Salon on Madison Avenue says the look only works on tall, skinny women, but that doesn't seem to dissuade any cult-cut followers." Blake has spoken out about how she was taken aback by how many followers there are of her hair and how Vogue staffers routinely approach her at event and bring up her hair, saying, "I didn't really realize the extent of it. It's always kind of odd, but unbelievably flattering." What do you think - do you lust over Lively's locks?

Buy the LookEva Turquoise Ring Ostrich Feather Short Dress in Black

Blake Lively seen on Oct 13 2009 in New York, NY. The beautiful Blake Lively was spotted glamming up the red carpet of the NYC premiere of Where The Wild Things Are, held at Alice Tully Hall on October 13. For her stunning red carpet look, BL chose a Marchesa Spring 2010 feather-adorned mini dress (for a very similar, all black look try Sue Wong's Ostrich Feather Short Dress in Black, which features a delicately ruched bust, an intricately beaded trim and an ostrich feather skirt) with simple nude patent leather pumps and a silver cocktail ring (I love the turquoise accent of Femme Metale Jewelry's Eva Turquoise Ring). Lively completed her look with glamorous waves and a shimmering peach lip. What are your thoughts of Blake's look, readers - do you think she knocked this Marchesa frock out of the park? I think she owned this look, as the silhouette of the dress perfectly complimented Blake's svelte figure. And as if her legs don't already seem to go on for miles, those nude heels only enhance the illusion! For those readers who are a fan of Blake's show "Gossip Girl," are you enjoying this new season thus far? I'm sure you've heard the news that Lady GaGa will have a cameo in an upcoming episode, but unlike recent guest stars Hilary Duff and Tyra Banks, GaGa will be playing herself - and possibly even sing! Who out there will tune in for this? I know I will!

Buy the LookIvah Tote Linked Necklace in Gold Plated 48" Patchwork Necklace in Gold and Silver Nicolet Trench Coat Cowl Halter Dress in Peacock

Blake Lively seen on Oct 05 2009 in New York, NY. Blake Lively was spotted in Central Park on set of her hit show "Gossip Girl" in NYC earlier today, October 5, looking extra leggy as the show's costume designer slipped a pair of patterned tights in a deep wine hue on Blake, completely elongating her gams. In addition to the tights, Blake's look consisted of a fitted olive green dress with a loose cowl neck (for a similar silhouette in a more vibrant shade, try Lotta Stensson's Cowl Halter Dress in Peacock) under a long black coat with chunky silver buttons (check out Suzabelle's Nicolet Trench Coat in Black) and a hairstyle that was very similar to what Blake rocked at the Emmy Awards back on September 20 - a slicked back in the front with a messy, loose high pony. Blake finished her look with a heavy metal chain necklace (I would suggest playfully mixing Kimberly Faith's 48" Patchwork Necklace in Gold and Silver with Marcia Moran's Linked Necklace in Gold Plated for a funky, punky pairing) and a burnished bronze bag (get the look with Donald J Pliner's Ivah Tote in Bronze - love the little peace sign charm that's attached BTW). What are your thoughts on Blake's - well, actually, "GG"'s costume designer's - look overall? Are you diggin' the look as a whole? Lively recently sat down with Esquire Magazine to discuss, among other things, her love of cooking, Louboutins, and cute aprons. Says B, "I love to cook. Everything. Homemade ice cream, soups. I just bought ingredients to make a key-lime mascarpone tart with a pistachio crust." If you're mouth isn't already watering, she continues: "I cook in Louboutins. I just think it's very attractive when people cook. So I don't wear sweatpants. When you dress sexy to cook, too, it's like, damn, I got a girl who can cook and look like that? And I always have really cute aprons." Talk about every man's fantasy!

Buy the LookGullsway Earings Eva Turquoise Ring Sequin Blazer Serengeti Tunic in Black Zebra Sequined Rolly Dress in Black

Blake Lively seen on Sep 20 2009 in West Hollywood, CA. It seems that Balmainia shows no sign of slowing down! Blake Lively showed up to HBO's 2009 Emmy Awards After Party held at the Pacific Design Center in West Hollywood last night, September 20, rocking this Balmain stunner, the Paillette Mini Dress, with to-die-for Jimmy Choo Private Patent Strappy Stilettos. It may just be me, but Blake (and her bodacious bod!) are knocking this look out of the park. If you, like so many of Hollywood's fashionistas, are feeling the sequin trend for fall, I would suggest looking into one of LaROK's glittery frocks, like the Serengeti Tunic in Black Zebra or the Sequined Rolly Dress in Black, or as the perfect topper to any chic outfit, 7 for All Mankind's Sequin Blazer in Ash. Blake finished off her dazzling look with huge emerald earrings (check out Amy DiGregorio's stunning Gullsway Earrings in Gold), an oversized cocktail ring (try Femme Metale Jewelry's Eva Turquoise Ring), and a slicked back updo with a majorly futuristic high braid very similar to what the models were rockin' on Alexander Wang's runway just last week! What are your thoughts on BL's look - are you as smitten as I am? While this was her look for the after-parties, Blake donned a striking red Versace number that commanded attention for the actual award show arrivals. It seems that one of Esquire Magazine's writers, Matt Sullivan, was so taken with Ms. Lively's appearance that he posted a blog devoted to her today on the mag's website. Matt says, "Lively shimmied her way toward womanhood down the red carpet in this backless (and, more jarringly, nearly frontless) gown last night. It was the type of perfectly cut, crazy-expensive dress that makes a man realize why women ogle their own kind for glamorous fashion tips during these interminably terrible award shows. But it was that moment I caught, with Lively so thoroughly demanding the on-stage ogle — so much more so than Leighton Meester, an eyebrow-raiser in her own right — that made me reconsider this woman, no longer a Gossip Girl so much as a twenty-two-year-old temptress." Wow - Matt's definitely diggin' B!

Buy the LookSet of 7 Signature Expandable Wire Bangles Dutchess Satin Dress in Cream Pamela Dress in White Garden Dress Grace Dress in Gray and White

Blake Lively seen on Sep 09 2009 in New York, NY. The luscious Blake Lively was spotted workin' it at the Anna Sui for Target Collection Launch Party (all looks are inspired by the distinct looks of “Gossip Girl” characters Serena van der Woodsen, Blair Waldorf, Jenny Humphrey and Vanessa Abrams) held at 54 Crosby Street in NYC on September 9, opting for her trademark hand-on-hip and over-the-shoulder poses. Side note - I love it when she does the pouty frown! Blake started her outfit off with a simple tiered dress in shades of ivory, cream and dove grey with black strap accents (take your pick of four dresses featured on CoutureCandy that use Blake's frock as inspiration - Rail's Pamela Dress in White, Ella Moss' Grace Dress in Grey and White, Alice + Olivia's Dutchess Satin Dress in Cream, or Prairie New York's Garden Dress in Creme) with Christian Louboutin's to die for Studded Pigalle Pumps and an armful of glittery stacked bangles (peep Alex and Ani's Set of 7 Signature Expandable Wire Bangles in Silver). Blake kept her tresses polished yet messy and her makeup pretty and fresh-faced. I like this look for B - simple yet sophisticated. What are your thoughts? Blake was one of the numerous fashion-inclined celebs who hit up the monumental Fashion's Night Out event on September 10, as BL was spotted at the Ralph Lauren store on Bleeker Street. In addition to Blake, Mary-Kate and Ashley were spotted playing bartender at Bergdorf Goodman, and the likes of Victoria Beckham, Gwen Stefani, Rihanna, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Alexa Chung were spotted having fun and supporting the fashion community. Models Daria Werbowy, Lily Donaldson, Sasha Pivovarova, Natasha Poly and Chanel Iman were also spotted. What I wouldn't give to have been in NYC for this!

Buy the LookEmbroidered Loop Hole Dress Mona Dress Ice Cream Cone Charm

Blake Lively seen on Jun 25 2009 in New York, NY. Blonde and beautiful Blake Lively was spotted turning heads at the Swarovski Crystallized Concept Grand Opening Event held in NYC on June 25, rocking a sexy, backless Cavalli dress with sheer black accents. For a more casual version of Blake's look, check out Raw 7's Embroidered Loop Hole Dress in Pure White, which also has backless detailing, or Rails' looser and shorter Mona Dress in White. Blake accessorized her sexy white frock with a sparkly silver necklace (try out Femme Metale Jewelry's adorable Ice Cream Cone Charm Necklace in Silver) and silver and black studded strappy stilettos. What are your thoughts on Blake's look here, readers - is she trying too hard to be sexy, or does she pull off this seductive style effortlessly? At the event, Blake dished to reporters about her high hopes for her acting career. She mentioned a few different actresses whose career she would like to emulate, saying, "Women I look up to are Annette Bening, Kate Winslet and Cate Blanchett. Also, I think Reese Witherspoon has had a really great mixture, some great movies as well as some fun ones." I could definitely see Blake as the next Reese Witherspoon, both are blonde and bubbly and easy to love. However, do you think Lively would be able to tackle the more dramatic roles, a la Annette Bening or Kate Winslet?

Buy the LookSnake Shell Ring Shirred Mini Tube Dress Racerback Pocket Dress in Bright Rose

Blake Lively seen on Jun 15 2009 in New York, NY. Blake Lively was in full Malibu Barbie goddess mode at the 2009 CFDA Fashion Awards which were held at Alice Tully Hall in Lincoln Center in NYC on June 15, playfully rocking a hot pink pocketed Michael Kors mini. For more affordable versions in a similar, electric hue, check out Splendid's Lotus Dress in Hot Pink or Qi's Racerback Pocket Dress in Bright Rose, or for a dress with a similar silhouette in a fiery shade, try Lotta Stensson's Shirred Mini Tube Dress in Poppy. Letting the dress be the star of her outfit, Blake kept her accessories minimal, pairing nude peeptoe heels with a few large jeweled rings (Femme Metale Jewelry's Snake Shell Ring is super cool) and sporting her signature beachy, blonde waves. What do you think of Blake's look here - did she knock it out of the park, or is this outfit a tad too basic for the CFDA's? While I personally think B looks luminous (although she might have gone a tad overboard with the sunless tanner), she has recently revealed that she feels like a tranny a lot of the time. Say what? Blake tells Allure, "I feel like a tranny a lot of the time. I don’t know, I’m... large? They put me in six-inch heels, and I tower over every man. I’ve got this long hair and lots of clothes and makeup on." Lively continues, "I just feel really big a lot of the time, and I’m surrounded by a lot of tiny people. I feel like a man sometimes." Well she definitely makes one foxy man!

Blake Lively seen on May 21 2009 in New York, NY. Serena van der Woodsen herself, Blake Lively, was spotted making her entrance into a party at the Gramercy Park Hotel last night in NYC, May 21. The rest of the cast of "GG" was also present, sending the paparazzi into a flashing frenzy. For her nighttime look, BL started with a shimmering pair of silver capris (check out Zoa's more casual Logo Long Leggings in Charcoal) and paired them with an oversized white button-up (try Da-Nang's Gauze Tunic in White, or for a longer shirt dress, try Cake Couture's Gardenia Shirt Dress in Ivory). Blake then finished off her 'fit with a nude, almost rose, pair of patent leather Louboutins, a matching clutch (like Julie K Handbags' Cosmo Bag in Toffee), and a loose, low ponytail. What are your thought's of B's outfit - I personally think she is definitely making it work for her! While "Gossip Girl" is currently on hiatus, Blake chatted with JustJared.com about what she has been up to in her downtime. She dishes, "I’ve traveled all over Asia. I went to Thailand, India and Maldives. I stayed at the most incredible place in the Maldives called Soneva Gili and you have to take a boat to get to your glass-bottom hut in the middle of the water. It’s gorgeous!" Wow, that sounds absolutely amazing. She continues, "I’m half-way to getting my scuba license and I went to cooking school in Thailand. I never get time to do things like cook and travel, so now I have two months off and I’m trying to take advantage of it as much as I can." Sounds exactly what I would do if I was in her shoes!

Blake Lively seen on Apr 02 2009 in New York, NY. Blake Lively was spotted at the Topshop / Topman Grand Opening after-party at Box nightclub in NYC on April 2, cozying up to her co-star beau Penn Badgley for the majority of the evening. For her after-party ensemble, B started with a fitted, light grey mini dress (check out similar options from Ecoganik, like their Vested Empire Dress in Storm, or Black Halo, like their Strapless Bustier Dress in White) under an oversized boyfriend blazer (Paul Smith's 2 Button Black Jacket is a classic) and a pair of black studded heels. Accessory wise, Lively kept her jewelry to a minimum, opting only for one beautiful ring (try Femme Metale's Gemstone Ring in Sterling Silver) as well as a metallic silver manicure and berry kissed lips. What are your thoughts on Blake's outfit - do you approve? I think she rocked it - plus I love the shades of grey that she (or her stylist) chose. While Blake and her loverboy Penn have been inseparable lately, it seems that the dynamic duo are set to spend even more time together, as they were seen boarding a flight to Thailand out of LAX yesterday, April 5. What's more, the couple decided to fly coach to their destination, instead of first class. Wow, I would have liked to be the third person in their row! Imagine the conversation you could have with them on a however-many-hours-it-is flight! Last week, the cast of "Gossip Girl" held their wrap party at the Bowery Hotel, and sources say that Penn was totally engrossed in a game of beer pong, so much so that Blake couldn't drag him away! The source says, "Blake kept trying to get him to leave, but he was so focused on the game that he begged her to stay." If I were Blake, I would've been like "see ya!"

Blake Lively seen on Mar 24 2009 in New York, NY. Blake Lively was seen making an appearance on the Late Show With David Letterman in NYC on March 24, looking pretty in pink as her luscious blonde locks glowed in the flashbulbs. Dressed in a silky one-shoulder number (check out similar options like Walter's Dutchess Satin One Sleeve Dress in Purple, Karina Grimaldi's Ruffle Silk Mini Dress in Purple, or Cleo Brands' One Shoulder Dress in Purple) with metallic gold heels and one simple, blue stone ring (like the very similar Castaway Jewelry's Chalcedony Ring in Brass). What are your thoughts on Blake's outfit - did her stylist do her right? Weigh in, readers! For those of you who have seen Terry Richardson's steamy Rolling Stone cover with Blake and "Gossip Girl" co-star Leighton Meester, the two girls seductively share one ice cream cone in a shot that is sure to send teenage boys all over into a flurry. Speaking to Letterman, Blake joked, "The recession is affecting everyone. They couldn't even afford two ice cream cones for us. We had to share." Oh Blake, what a jokester! She also continued that since Dave is a married man now (he wed his longtime sweetie just recently), that she and Julia Roberts would tempt him into having a threeway. To that, Dave joked, "I'll tell you something off the record: We're not getting along. There's talk of a legal separation, so I'll be outside on the curb." These two are super funny together!

Blake Lively seen on Feb 09 2009 in Berlin, Germany. Blake Lively was spotted posing for a wall of photographers at the 59th Berlin International Film Festival in Berlin, Germany a little earlier today, February 9, looking gorgeous as usual. Blake made an appearance at the film festival to promote her upcoming film, The Private Lives of Pippa Lee, and I must say, from boarding a flight to Germany right after filming scenes of "Gossip Girl," Blake is looking pretty good! Her outfit, on the other hand, I'm not so sure about. I don't have a problem with Blake's black mini (for similar options, check out Lotta Stensson's Ruffle Mini Dress in Black or Smitten's Empire Pleated Dress in Black) over a blue tank (like Signorelli's Love Tree Rhinestone Tank in Pear) and black tights, it's just the shoes that I'm kind of iffy on. What do you think, CoutureCandy readers? I just don't think they work with Blake's waist belt (check out Linea Pelle's Laced Waist Belt with Grommets in Scotch). Thoughts? Blake finished up her ensemble with a single, standout ring, like Castaway Jewelry's Chalcedony Ring in Brass. In other "GG" news, Blake is speaking out about the spinoff that is in the works. Blake says, "I think it’s a great idea!," adding, "Our second-to-last episode is going to double as their pilot. So a lot of our show will be flashbacks of the young Lily and the young Rufus, which you’ll be seeing in the new series. If that episode gets a good response, then the new series will happen next year." What do you think, will you be tuning into the new series featuring a young Lily and Rufus?

Blake Lively seen on Jan 08 2009 in New York, NY. Blake Lively was spotted on the streets of New York AKA the set of "Gossip Girl" on January 8, looking chic and completely put together (thank you, "GG" stylist!). To steal B's look, start with a chic military-inspired coat (if you're in a warmer climate than Blake, check out LaROK's cropped French Army Jacket in Wood) and pair with a cozy, chunky sweater (like Gold Hawk's Short Chunky Cable Jacket in Mushroom) and white crew neck tee (check out Qi's Crew Underslip in Antique White). Blake then grabbed a black leather tote, black leggings, and lace-up flat boots (if you're in the mood for chocolate, check out Matiko Footwear's Scallop Boot in Brown). What do you think of Blake's 'fit - I feel like it's very typical, but very cute as well. In other BL news, it seems that Blake's character, Serena, will not be too pleased to find out that the evil Georgina Sparks, portrayed by Michelle Trachtenberg, will be returning for a few eps this season. G's last scene on the show was when Blair gave her her comeuppance and her parents shipped her off to boarding school; if she wasn't filled with spite before, she sure will be now! What do you think, did you miss Georgie, or is the show better off without her?

Blake Lively seen on Dec 09 2008 in New York, NY. Blake Lively made an appearance at the Ray-Ban Remaster Event in NYC on December 9, sporting a newly textured, edgy haircut and what looks like color as well. Working the red carpet in a matching red leather jacket (check out Gold Hawk's similar version in black, the Ribbed Motorcycle Jacket) over a midnight blue tee (P.G.D. Style's Longsleeve V-Neck Tee in Midnight is longer, and can be worn with either denim or leggings) and black skinnies (like Hudson Jeans' Alex 5 Pocket Skinny Jean in Black). To finish off her look, Blake chose a pair of tall black boots (similar to Matiko Footwear's Sienna Boot in Black) with a snakeskin clutch (check out Julie K Handbags' Natalie Sleek Clutch in Yellow Python) and a sparkling bracelet (I'm loving CC Skye's Pave Stud Bracelet in Silver). What do you think of Blake's look here- did she get it right? In other Lively news, it seems that while Blake's star is definitely shining brighter these days, it's actually her dog that is starting to get all the attention! She says, "A lot of people come up to me and they’re like, ‘Oh, my gosh, are you...’ and I think they’re going to ask if I’m from ‘Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants,' and they say, ‘with that really cute dog?’ But it all works out in the long run. Anytime anybody comes up to me, I always get a little shy. But I have my cute dog now. She gets all the attention." Sounds like a perfect pair!

Blake Lively seen on Nov 24 2008 in New York, NY. Blake Lively was spotted on the red carpet of the premiere for the film Australia in NYC on November 24, without off-screen beau Penn Badgley. It's funny, because I feel like Blake can either knock it out of the park with her outfit choices, or she is just slightly off, either dressing too old for her age and just not getting it right. This is definitely one of those times. I would have completely done without the tights, and possible opted for a more youthful skirt. Blake started with an ivory cardigan tucked into her black lace skirt (check out Gold Hawk's Embroidered Skirt in Raven Black), and accessorized with a high waist belt (take a look at Linea Pelle Collection's edgier Waist Belt with Leather Covered Studs in Steel Grey), a statement gold ring (like Rachel Leigh's Nicoli Ring in Gold), and black t-strap heels. What are your thoughts on Blake's look- love it or leave it? In other Lively news, Blake is talking about how she is definitely not one of Young Hollywood's typical "partier" set. She says, "I grew up with the mind set that, after work, you go to dinner and watch a movie. I don't want to go to a club and not wear panties. New York City is a magical place to film and live. It's actually a character in the show. Our show wouldn't work if it wasn't in New York. I can't even describe what I love about the city, because it's so many things - the people, the streets, the stores. It just makes me warm and fuzzy." What are your thoughts, do you agree with Blake's sentiments of NYC?

Blake Lively seen on Oct 21 2008 in New York, NY. Blake Lively was spotted at Us Weekly's Hot in Hollywood Issue Celebration Event last night, October 21, in NYC, workin' the casual thumb-in-pocket pose for photographers. To get Blake's casual yet polished look, start with a striped button-up (like 3J Workshop's Jackson Shirt in As Shown) under a black menswear vest (similar to Gold Hawk's Men's Vest in Solid Black) and with black skinnies (Desert Blue's Bullhorn Jean in Black are similar). Accessory wise, Blake wasn't seen holding a handbag, and instead opted for a clover necklace (similar to Jessica Elliot's Wrought Iron Clover Necklace in Silver) with multiple bangles, and maroon-hued Christian Louboutin booties. J'adore her tousled, wavy hairstyle, too! While word spread fairly quickly that Blake's father was involved in a car accident on October 13, it seems that Mr. Lively is on his way to recovery. When Blake first heard the news, she hopped on a plane home to be with him, seeing as thought the two are so close. A source said, "They are as close as any father and daughter could be— she was beside herself when she got this horrible news. Her dad taught her everything." The source continues, though, "He’s doing much better. His wife Elaine just called to say they’ve moved him to a regular room." Let's all wish him a fast recovery!

Blake Lively seen on Aug 25 2008 in New York, NY. A peppy Blake Lively was spotted on the set of "Gossip Girl" in NYC yesterday, August 25, which also happened to be her birthday! Happy 21st bday, B! Wearing a bright multicolored top (like LaROK's Adriel T Back Top in Multi) with dark Rich & Skinny jeans (check out Desert Blue's Bullhorn Jean in Smoke), Christian Louboutin heels and a long beaded necklace (like Marnie Rocks' Lapis Necklace with Blue Agate), Blake looked fresh and flirty as always. In other Lively news, it seems that there is a fake publicist in NYC claiming to be Lively's (and Lindsay Lohan's) rep! A man claiming to be Roy Cohen has set up private shopping dates and confirmed invitations to various events for the two starlets, although he is a complete phony and has no affiliation with either of the girls. Lohan's actual representative said, "He doesn't rep Lindsay or Blake and no one knows who this creep is." 10 points for the use of the word creep! How funny how people really have no lives and delude themselves into thinking they know celebrities. Sad, sad, sad!

Blake Lively seen on Aug 16 2008 in Sag Harbor, NY. "GG" hotties Blake Lively and Leighton Meester attended the End-of-Summer Hamptons Bash for the Season 2 Launch of the CW Network's "Gossip Girl" hosted by Vitamin Water on August 16, both looking radiant as always. To steal Blake's look, start with a ruffled blouse, like Zoa's Polka Dot Ruffle Sleeveless Blouse in Silver, and pair with crisp white denim, like James Jeans' Tom 5 Pocket Straight Leg Jean in Aspen White, and peeptoe heels. Finish the look off with small gold hoops and tousled hair, and you'll be set. For Leighton's look, pick a pale yellow dress (similar to Gold Hawk's Straight Across Dress in Pale Yellow) and pair with black pumps and dangle earrings (I'm digging Michele Michel Jewelry's Rose Swarovski Earrings in Silver). XOXO! For those of you who saw the on-set catfight pictures of Leighton and Blake going at it, Leighton dished to E! Online, saying, "Blake was coming at me and I was scared!" Blake took the take a little less seriously, and said, "We were laughing so hard... it was 1a.m. and it was rainy out. We were ad-libbing the entire time." Can't wait to see how the scene turns out on air!

Blake Lively seen on Aug 04 2008 in New York, NY. Blake Lively has been busy promoting her new film, Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2, lately, and August 4 was no exception; Blake appeared on "Good Morning America" with co-stars America Ferrera, Amber Tamblyn, and Alexis Bledel looking lovely as always. Wearing a white halter top (like Ella Moss' Cataline V-Strap Top in Coconut White) with dark wide-leg trouser jeans (similar to Pierce Jeans' Ekostaden Amelia Trouser in Natural Midnight) and nude peeptoe wedges, Blake accessorized with a large black bowler bag (check out Jenny Yuen Handbags' Sherlock Satchel in Black), a long turquoise necklace (like Robyn Rhodes' Rumi Necklace) and, of course, a Starbucks. A while back, randomly funny rumors spread on the internet that while Blake was carrying her puppy Penny, Penny had a little "accident" on Blake. No way, no day! Blake says, "I spilled something on my dress. I didn't want it to stain, so I stuck my dress under the sink and was running out the door. I'm holding Penny, and every magazine prints that Penny peed on me. It wasn't Penny!" Her pooch is potty trained, thank you very much!

Blake Lively seen on Jul 30 2008 in New York, NY. Blake Lively and boyfriend Penn Badgely were spotted strolling through New York City's Meatpacking District yesterday, July 30, smiling for the cameras and stopping to grab a bite to eat. Blake went super casual for her day-out outfit, starting with a basic tee (similar to Ecoganik's Long Sleeve Nailhead Top in Moss and P.G.D. Style's Signature Tee in Clay) and pairing with dark blue shorts (like Johnson's Millicent Short in Downtown) and studded sandals. To carry around all of her goodies, Blake threw a large shoulder bag over her shoulder, and for a similar bag, check out Linea Pelle's Large Shoulder Bag in Espresso. Blake's new film, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2, hit theaters this Wednesay, and Reuters is describing the film as "finding its four protagonists somewhat older and wiser (and undoubtedly poorer after several years of FedEx-ing those magic pants back and forth. The sequel takes each character several steps further along the road to adulthood." What do you think- will you go check out this flick?

Blake Lively seen on May 26 2008 in New York, NY. Blake Lively was spotted trying to hail a cab in NYC on Memorial Day, May 26, and is finally going public with her romance with "GG" co-star Penn Badgley. The two were spotted holding hands as they strolled down the street! Ok, now everyone collectively say "Awwwww!" For her Memorial Day outfit, Blake chose a light and airy ruffled mini dress, and for similar options check out Gold Hawk's Mini Ball Dress in White Essence, Karina Grimaldi's New Michael Mini Dress in White, and LaROK's dressier Coco Sequin Dress in White. Accessory wise, Blake toted around a ruched bag (as well as an iced beverage) and slipped her tootsies into slouchy brown flat boots. Maybe it's just me but I'm not feeling those boots with that dress, thoughts? While Blake and Penn are posed to be Rachel Bilson and Adam Brody 2.0, I hope that their relationship will not be affected by their work, because it is tricky working with someone you are romantic with. I do hope that they work out though, but it is tricky... I'm just saying!

Blake Lively seen on Apr 28 2008 in New York, NY. Besides MKO, Blake Lively was also spotted workin' it on the red carpet of the 3rd Annual Chanel Dinner Party Honoring the Tribeca Film Festival Artist Program on April 28, looking lovely as always. Blake wore a silky lace Chanel number, but for a more affordable and wearable look (but one that is still classy), feast your peepers on Betsey Johnson's Sheath Dress in Black, and paired it with nude satin stilletos. In GG news, if you caught Monday night's ep, you are well aware that Blake's character's (Serena van der Woodsen) world was rocked with the return of bad girl bad influence ex-BFF Georgina Sparks (played by "Buffy" alum Michelle Trachtenberg). Georgina returned to NYC from an alleged stay in Switzerland. At the end of the juicy ep, Georgina was seen sneakily seducing S' boyfriend, Dan, and next week's little preview showed S finally confronting G about their dirty, dark secret. What do you think that these former bad girls got themselves into? I know one thing, I will definitely be tuning in next week to find out. And one last thing... if you don't watch the show, you definitely need to start!

Blake Lively seen on Apr 21 2008 in New York, NY. Blake Lively was spotted looking pretty lively on the set of "Gossip Girl" in New York on April 21, stopping to pose for the cameras while in character. Wearing a chic coat over a basic cream tank (like Sydney Los Angeles' Sydney Tank in Dawn White), Blake finished off her look with a pair of black denim (check out James Jeans' Hector 5 Pocket High Rise Jean in Black Flex), tall boots, and a chain necklace (Kuo Ting Jewelry's Resin Disc and Black Chain Necklace in Silver is a similar option). While onscreen, Blake and Leighton Meester's characters have a love-hate relationship, OK! Weekly is reporting that things aren't too pleasant off set either. A source says, "Leighton is jealous of everyone. She doesn't like her character's wardrobe. She thinks it's conservative and she's more fashionable and sexy in real life. She once said, 'I look like a dork in my outfits.'" Leighton's rep denies these claims, although she didn't respond to the rumors that Blake and Leighton are making the other cast members "choose sides." Here we go!

Blake Lively seen on Apr 07 2008 in New York, NY. And I thought Paris was bad! Blake Lively was spotted in New York leaving the set of her hit show "Gossip Girl" on April 7 with her furry friend in tow, and it seems like she's been bringing her pup with her everywhere lately! Talk about woman's best friend. But with a doggy as adorable as this one, I can see why Blake would never want to leave its side! Sporting a warm leather jacket over a violet colored top (Paper Denim & Cloth's Leather Trim Top in Peacock is an inspired choice), Blake tucked her straight leg jeans (check out James Jeans' Tom 5 Pocket Straight Leg Jean in Neo Tulsa) into a pair of black leather motorcycle boots. How Rihanna of her! The finishing touch: a leather Chanel handbag. Love the bag, but not feeling the hefty price tag? Fear not. Carla Mancini's Medium Top Zip Cross Stitch Bag in Black is similar and oh-so-desirable. While fans of Blake love her talent and gorgeous looks, some might be surprised to know that she has quite the sense of humor, too! At a recent press event, Blake was asked about her love life, and responded that she "is having Brad Pitt's baby!" Uh-oh... I wonder if Angie knows! And to think, Blake doesn't even look pregnant! Ok, I know she's kidding- that Blake, what a trickster!

Blake Lively seen on Feb 29 2008 in New York, NY. Blake Lively was spotted hitting up the Armani Exchange store in NYC on February 29, carrying around her teeny tiny pup with her for her shopping excursion. Making sure to keep warm in a trenchcoat (check out Walter's shorter cropped version, the Cadet Twill Trench Jacket in Grey) paired with a cozy looking sweater (like Signorelli's Open Back Long Sleeve Sweater in Charcoal), Blake slipped into a pair of tapered dark wash denim (like Joe's Jeans' Cigarette Super Slim Jean in Kennedy) and tall black suede boots. Don't forget the scarf to keep the puppy warm in! Blake is back in NYC to resume filming her hit show "Gossip Girl", which was on hiatus due to (obviously) the writer's strike. But fans of the show can expect new episodes starting as soon as April 21. Hooray, now my weekly dose of dirt-dishing can resume!

Blake Lively seen on Feb 05 2008 in New York, NY. Blake Lively was spotted making her grand entrance to "The Late Show with David Letterman" in NYC on February 5, and I just have to wonder... did she change her outfit before she filmed the show? I didn't catch the episode, did anyone see if Blake did a little outfit switcheroo? Don't get me wrong, her outfit is basic and cute, but it's not really Letterman appropriate, right? She started with a light brown bomber jacket and paired with a basic scoop neck tee (like Rails' Kenna Long Sleeve Tee in Cream) and dark jeans (similar to James Jeans' Hunter High Rise Straight Leg Jean in Blue C), then slipped on a pair of suede boots and she was entrance ready. For those of you who can't get enough "Gossip Girl", it seems that there are some behind-the-scenes rumors that are causing a lot of, ahem, gossip. Allegedly, right before (and during) the writer's strike, the tension on set was skyrocketing between Blake and co-star Leighton Meester, as a source said, "Leighton Meester and Blake Lively avoid each other like the plague while castmates choose sides. Chace Crawford tends to stick close to Leighton, while Penn Badgley hangs on and offscreen with Blake. The crew will snag Blake for a scene just moments before it is shot so they can avoid any awkwardness with Leighton." Hmm, I wonder why the girls are potentially sparring? Maybe they're both fighting for the spotlight? XOXO, gossip girl.

Blake Lively seen on Jan 30 2008 in New York, NY. Blake Lively was spotted working the carpet at the New Year, New Old Navy Re-Launch Party in NYC on January 30, but let's be honest, it's probably going to be the Same Old Navy! Looking confident and stylish, Blake chose a detailed black top, which could have definitely benefitted from a steam or an ironing, (like Yoana Baraschi's Bold Jewels Silk Twill Top in Black or Lotta Stensson's Love Drawstring Top in Black) with straight leg grey denim (choose Pierce Jeans' Miami Tyler Straight Leg Jen in Dolphin Grey for a sexy, similar pair) and black pumps for her night out. In other recent Blake news, OK! Magazine is reporting that Blake has been cozying up to none other than notorious celebrity-dater, Arizona Cardinals quarterback Matt Leinart. Allegedly, at DIRECTV’s 2nd Annual Celebrity Beach Bowl in Scottsdale, Arizona over the weekend, Matt (who has been linked to Paris Hilton and Kristin Cavallari, among others) was seen getting pretty flirtatious with Blake. Says a source, "There was definitely some kind of chemistry between them. They seemed to really be enjoying each other’s company." Now, whether this was innocent or not, only the two of them know, but... this will definitely squash the rumors that Blake has the hots for "Gossip Girl" co-star Penn Badgley!

Blake Lively seen on Jan 22 2008 in Paris, France. In Paris, France for Paris Fashion Week, "Gossip Girl" star Blake Lively was photographed with iconic Chanel designer and living legend Karl Lagerfeld at the Chanel Haute Couture Fashion Show on January 22. Dressed in (what else) head to toe Chanel, Blake stunned in a simple yet chic LBD with a silvery long cardigan, opaque black tights, pearls and of course the requisite Chanel bag. To get Blake's haute couture look for less, start with Gold Hawk's similar Accordian Dress in Dark Slate and pair with a classic string of pearls, like Brian Nagourney Jewelry's Tang Dynasty Loops Necklace. Top your look off with an elegant long sweater, like Elizabeth Gillett's Brenda Sweater in Ivory, and you're practically runway ready. Going to the Chanel runway show and meeting Uncle Karl must have been a dream come true for Blake, who has recently confessed of her undying love for the classic designer. Blake says, "I love Chanel so much. It’s everything. It’s the epitome of what a lady should be. It’s class. I have the shoes, the jewelry, it’s really a problem. They say it’s an addiction. Some people take drugs; I do stuff with Chanel. The bags are a problem. I just got one right before I came here. I just got this big, beautiful, leather clutch that says Chanel on it. It’s black. It’s actually written out Chanel.. instead of the CC, which you don’t see very often. That was really exciting." How about the rest of you ladies, do you feel the same about Chanel? Is it really, to quote Blake, "everything"?

Blake Lively seen on Dec 13 2007 in New York, NY. "Gossip Girl" breakout star Blake Lively was spotted looking gorgeous as ever at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Young Collectors Council Artist's Ball on December 13 in New York. Rocking a classic black and white look with a mega-watt smile and voluminous hair, Blake chose a chic one-shoulder white dress (similar to LaROK's Cleo Dress in Papaya or Ella Moss' Beatrice Bow Tie Dress in Vanilla) with black tights, patent leather black pumps and an oh-so-classic gold cocktail ring (check out Rachel Leigh's Domed Ring in Gold). Before rising to the top of everyone's hot list by starring on the hit show "Gossip Girl", Lively was a little known actress most known for her role in the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. Now, she is being lauded as an up-and-coming fashionista in her own right, but might her confident new look have had something to do with a little plastic surgery? The internet is ablaze with rumors that Blake had a nose job prior to being cast as Serene van der Woodsen on "Gossip Girl", and there are numerous photos to back up this claim. Whether she did or didn't, no one can argue with the fact that this face is truly one to watch out for in the future!

Blake Lively seen on Dec 03 2007 in New York, NY. "Gossip Girl" star Blake Lively worked the red carpet of The Help Group's Teddy Bear Ball back on December 03, 2007, proving she has what it takes to be a breakout style star. Wearing an adorable and unique LBD (check out Karen Zambos' Ashley Dress in Black and Ella Moss' Jacinda Crew Neck Dress in Black for a few other Blake-inspired LBD's) with black tights and metallic heels, Blake was also rockin' her trademark ear to ear grin, showing off those pearly whites of hers. The internet has been abuzz lately with gossip about whether or not Blake and her GG co-star Penn Badgley are a real life couple or not. How very Seth and Summer (or Adam and Rachel, take your pick!). It seems that this was merely a rumor, however, as Blake has spoken out on the rumors, saying, "Everybody always tries to dig into your personal life or create things that aren't there. It's silly. Any male friend is obviously a 'romance alert,' but I've always been friends with boys my whole life. People just want to talk. They want to create negative things about you and your life and make up things. You can't let them affect you." Way to be strong, B! What do you think, is it ever a good idea for co-stars to date, or does it always lead to disaster (keep in mind that Brad and Ange met on the set of Mr. and Mrs. Smith, and they're still going strong). Hmm... thoughts?
