When I spotted this image of actress Blake Lively yesterday I was reminded how much I like her style. She looks gorgeous in the bias cut Marchesa slip dress above and in fact, in most things she wears.

Incredibly, the statuesque beauty who came to fame playing Serena van der Woodsen on the television show Gossip Girl, is at 26, her own personal stylist. I really love that about her and that she so often makes choices that exude Old Hollywood glamour. The clothes, the hair, the make-up—this girl has a fabulous fashion aesthetic, one that I truly admire.
