MY:VIEW Look of The Week - Blake Lively

Ever since Blake Lively burst onto our screens as Serena Van Der Woodsen in Gossip Girl, I’ve had a total style crush on her (or Serena, can’t really decide who!).  From someone who has thin, flat lifeless hair, she gives me total hair envy too, no matter how much product or salt spray I put in, beachy hair just does not work on me!

I was interested to see what her 1^st Gucci look would be after being named the new face of Gucci, and I love the simplicity of this yellow dress, and the contrast with the turquoise jewellery.  She doesn’t look too “premiere” which I think suits a more indie film, and her hair and make up compliment that.  I just saw an interview with her saying the wore this as an ode to Oliver Stone, the director of Savages, who had said that her character needed to be more “yellow”, which I thought was cute. 

I also love this Michael Kors red suit which she wore to Good Morning America.  Again she makes the outfit look more casual than work, with the rolled up sleeves, vest and simple hair and make up.  I love this suit!  I’d never wear it in a month of Sundays, but it has made me think about trying to find a tomato red blazer.

Had a pretty quiet week so far.  Had my 1^st personal training session yesterday.  Never thought I’d ever actually say I loved the gym, but I did, as I did an hour of toning and boxing.  Just hope it works, I’m back home in Manchester in 7 weeks for 2 weddings, and need to fit into my bridesmaids dresses.  No pain, no gain!!
