Get Blake Lively’s Look

June 25th, 2009 § 1 comment

Blake's Look of the Week is so simple and fresh it's really pretty easy to try and replicate.  Strapless is super popular right now, but make sure to remember this acronym before you decide to leave the straps at home: ABS.  Arms, Boobs, Skin.

Arms-  Bat Wings.  You know what I'm talking about.  Take a look at your wings and see if they need some tone up time.

Boobs- I'm not saying you should or should not have boobs for strapless, just to be aware of them, especially if you're more well endowed in the chest.  Make sure you get the proper underwire support either built into the dress or with an industrial strength strapless bra.

Skin- You don't necessarily have to be super tan, although a healthy (sprayed on) glow would help, but you should also make sure you're not streaky, splotchy or broken out.  So make sure to exfoliate front AND back.

Of course, remember to work the rest of the look like Blake and keep the accessories to a minimum.  Let the bright color be the moment, and everything else should just fade away.  Here's the original and it's available at Saks already.

However, if you don't have $1600 to drop on a dress or aren't BFF with Michael Kors like I'm sure Blake is, I've provided some other options.
