Style Comparison - Blake Lively

By Natalie Naccarato

Blake Lively has a dream body - it's purely genetics along with a lot of exercise and a healthy diet I'm assuming, so pretty much everything this girl throws on looks amazing. However, she can still be a useful reference when looking for clothing inspiration. She has become a bit of a fashion darling which probably has much to do with the fact that she stars on Gossip Girl, a show known just as much for it's wardrobe as it's plot lines. Currently Ms. Lively is in Paris attending Fall 2010 Couture shows, sitting front row rubbing elbows with Anna Wintour. Here she is at Chanel's Couture show:

We love the light weight fabric of her summer dress and her choice of sky high nude hells (as if her legs need elongating)!

For our LUXaholic spin on Blake's outfit we immediately thought of these two items:















This combination of the Summer Holiday Dress and Trinitie shoes by Steve Madden make for an easy and affordable take on Blake's outfit!


Next up we have Blake Lively at the Christian Dior Couture Show (she's living the life isn't she)?

Her "perfect-for-summer" look brought to mind this from LUXaholic.ca:

















Our take on the outfit is the Flow So Sweet Dress and since she was rocking nude heels again we decided instead of pairing our inspired outfit with the Trinitie shoe (which would work just as nicely) we opted for the Naughty Monkey 'Hitched' Sandals for a change.

Now if we only had a Couture show to attend...

Romp Around!

By Natalie Naccarato

The romper trend has been building for the past few seasons and is picking up steam. It appears as though this will be the summer of the romper! So do you have your romper yet? LUXaholic has just added a super cute and stylish one - the Twist and Shout, named for it's adorable twist tie detail on the back.

This romper is perfectly casual - good to wear to the beach as an updated swimsuit coverup or to stroll along city streets on a hot summer day. Rompers are a great alternative to a summer dress or even shorts and a tank. They make dressing easy and can be styled up or down.
