2) Begin blow drying hair by sections using the Angelo David Round Brush, bringing hair all the way to the back.
3) Gather hair and begin your fish braid. Divide hair into two sections. Take a small portion of hair from one side then bring it to the other, repeating this process back and forth. We want a clean, yet effortless feel, so it is ok if strands of hair starts sticking out.

Blake Lively, who last year fronted a handbag campaign for Chanel, is the face of Gucci’s new fragrance, Gucci Premiere. Named after the brand’s couture line of the same name, the scent is meant to evoke Old Hollywood charm, glitz, and glamour, WWD reports. “Celebrities and red-carpet glamour have always been a part of the Gucci heritage,” Gucci creative director Frida Giannini explained.

This is Lively’s first fragrance campaign. “Gucci is a staple. It is a brand I have always looked up to, because to me it represents strength,” the actress told WWD. “In their designs, in their images, in what they stand for philanthropically, and especially in their fragrance.…I couldn’t be more proud to be working with Gucci and its heart, Frida.”

Blake Lively opens up about her likes and dislikes about men in this month’s Marie Claire.

The 24-year-old ‘Gossip Girl’ actress is currently dating Ryan Reynolds, and it sounds like everything’s going great!

The beautiful blonde starlet, who also poses on the front cover in a very low-cut red satin tuxedo-jacket style dress, says she finds a fashionable man very attractive, especially ones who are well-groomed and have a timeless sense of style.

She said: ‘It’s definitely attractive when a man can dress well.

‘What I love most is when someone, guy or girl, is effortless and has this old-timey sort of feel [that] you could take a snapshot of them and they could exist in any time period.’

The Gossip Girl star also admitted she likes guys who love food because she enjoys cooking so much.

She added to America’s Marie Claire magazine: ‘To be around me, you must love food or I’m the most obnoxious person you’ve ever met.

‘I’m in a big cooking phase. That’s all I’ll talk about.’

And though Blake has no plans to marry in the near future, she admits her love of fashion has spilled over into her thoughts about a dream wedding.

She explained: ‘What I planned before I got into the business has changed.

‘Now I’m like, “Hmm, I wonder what shoes Christian [Louboutin] is going to make me. And which couture house should I go to?”‘

Ryan and Blake’s relationship is getting more and more serious by the minute and the couple just recently purchased a new house in upstate New York for more than $2 million.

After a search for the perfect love-nest, the couple reportedly bought the pricey pad in Bedford, in the Westchester area of the state of New York.

The beautiful Blake Lively sat down to dish with Elle magazine’s Mickey Rapkin.

On the men in her life: “I’ve had four boyfriends in my whole life. I’ve never been with anyone that’s not a boyfriend. If I spend time with a man, it’s because there’s somebody that I know well who has been a friend for a while.“

On not having a stylist: “When I’m going to an event, I’ll send Christian (Louboutin) a picture of my outfit and say, ‘What shoes do you think I should wear with this?’”

On kids: “I hope to have a few girls one day. If not girls, they better be trannies. Because I have some amazing shoes and bags and stories that need to be appreciated.”

On a report that she and Ryan Reynolds are looking for an apartment on Fifth Avenue: “Newspapers say a lot of stuff, don’t they? Though I wish I could afford half the places that I hear I’m looking at. Sign me up!”

Check out the full March issue on newsstands on February 14th!

This just in! WB’s smash hit ‘Gossip Girl’ is becoming a clothing line!

Women’s Wear Daily reports that Warner Bros. Consumer Products and Warner Bros. Television Group, the producers of the TV show, are partnering up with Romeo & Juliet Couture to create a Blair and Serena-inspired line.

Although Anna Sui already channeled all four of “GG”‘s female leads with her Target collaboration in 2009, WWD writes that it’s the first time “Gossip Girl” has officially branded itself as a fashion line on such a large scale.

The collection, which will debut by the show’s season five premiere on September 26, will be sold at upscale retailers like Neiman Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue with prices ranging from $80 to $200.

The best part of the news, of course, is that the clothes are inspired by Leighton Meester and Blake Lively’s characters and not Taylor Momsen’s.

Little J’s clothes were getting a little scary there towards the end and we all know what Momsen looks like these days. Those clothes (and, God forbid, a makeup line) would be none too appealing.

I love how they threw in there that the clothing line would NOT be inspired by Taylor Momsen’s look. Haha! I think I love the clothes on the show more than I actually like the show itself. I just like looking at pictures of what they’re wearing.

One celeb you’re not going to find on Twitter these days is Blake Lively. “People ask me why I don’t tweet,” the July cover girl told Glamour magazine. “Honestly, I’m so sick of myself.”

She does seem to be everywhere these days, doesn’t she? Aside from dating one of Hollywood’s hottest bachelors, Leonardo DiCaprio, she’s also the new face of Chanel’s perfume and Karl Lagerfeld’s muse. She’s also still on ‘Gossip Girl’ and this summer will star in the blockbuster ‘Green Lantern’ opposite Ryan Reynolds.

Blake talks to Florence Welch about becoming the new face of Chanel’s Mademoiselle handbag:
“It’s such an honor. When I found out I got [the job], you and I went to dinner and concocted this plan, like two little girls at a tea party, saying, ‘Oh, it would be the best if we had a party. And you’ll perform, and we’ll do it in Paris.’ Like you and I were in charge of Chanel!”

Blake Lively on being her own stylist:
“I think I became my own stylist by not knowing any better. And once I was told it was time to get one, I thought: This is one of my favorite hobbies! And I’m going to pay someone to steal my hobby from me? That’s a terrible idea!”

Blake on getting ready for an event:
“I like it to be easy. I don’t feel like I have to do so much with hair and makeup, because I’m the mannequin for these beautiful clothes, so I never want to do anything too distracting. Most of the time, I put my hair in a ballerina bun, and I take it down and it’s wavy, and then I leave. I feel shy when people are fussing on me. And my diet of choice before events is a chicken potpie from Tea & Sympathy, because they never have enough food at these things.”

Blake on breakups:
“Every relationship you have, you’re learning and growing and taking something from that. So for me, it’s never been too dramatic of a thing when something ends.”

Blake Lively says she has a better wardrobe since living in New York.

The 23-year-old American actress has become an international star thanks to her role in the hit US teen drama Gossip Girl.

Blake enjoys the perks of starring in the popular TV show, which follows the lives of a group of stylish youngsters living in New York. The star says her wardrobe is far more impressive since appearing on the glamorous series.

“None of it is mine. It’s nice to play dress-up, it’s like being a little girl and putting on make-up and outfits. I grew up in Burbank [California] and I love living in New York City so much [because of the shopping] and I now have a way better wardrobe,” she said in an interview with British newspaper The Independent.

The beauty plays Serena van der Woodsen in the popular show, and is often compared to her charismatic character. Blake says although she wears the same kind of clothes and lives in the same city, she is rather unlike her fictional character Serena.

“I wear pretty clothes and live in New York so people think I’m very similar to her; they see her talk and interact in their homes once a week and they probably assume that is who I am, but it’s not me,” she explained.
