Fashion Muse

Blake Lively

Many of us are clearly obsessed with celebrities, guilty here and there is nothing to be ashamed of. When it comes to acting, you have a favorite actress. It is also the same in beauty and fashion, you like Angelina's dress, Charlize's make up, Nicole S. (PCD) curves and so on.

I have never watch a Gossip Girl episode, I am not a fan of Blake Lively until I saw her on TV, she is so hot these days that her pictures are on every glossy fashion magazines. I love her fashion style: Classic, chic and sophisticated.

I always had a hard time thinking and creating, mixing and matching clothes. To spare me with the headache, I look at magazines and find celebrities that has the same style and look that I want to pull through, there came Blake Lively. Call me a copycat but hey, these celebrities have seasonal stylist that makes them carpet worthy. Why not snag their look. :)
















I love this white Grecian gown that she wore in her show Gossip Girl, it is an opulent white and she looks like a nymph especially with that bracelet, very glamorous and I want to own one.









In the premier of The Sisterhood of Traveling Pants, she wore the same Grecian cut gown but this time, it is in orange which I think suits her complexion and the length is perfect for her towering height.










She loves wearing jeans or pants with a classic jacket and simple undershirt or embellished top, very comfortable yet chic. Something that you can wear from shopping in the morning to a fun night with your girl friends. A lot of Hollywood young stars or girls should take something from her, you don't have to wear skimpy shorts or skirt and a very low-cleavage cut blouse to be sexy.

Scent-sational



Your walking in a park, suddenly someone walk behind you and unconsciously you turn around. Why? Is it her wavy hair, floral skirt, cute smile or wait...that smells good. Smell is probably the most powerful sense that we have. We use it in almost everything. But did you know that our sense of smell is connected to our memory? This is the very idea behind the power of perfume scent. There are seven primar
y odors: camphor, musky, roses, peppermint, ethereal, pungent and putrid. Each primary odor (or even their combination's) can conjure images associated with our memory. For example, the smell of a favorite dish can bring back images of home cooked meals by Mom. The scent of roses can turn back time and bring one to that momentous prom night. The perfume scent of musk brings back images of Dad.

Perfume scent has that power. It can influence one's mood simply by triggering memories that are most likely associated with the perfume scent. They say anything that has vanilla and cinnamon scents makes guys attracted to it. While women on the other hand prefer musk, woodsy or a little bit of ocean breeze for their guys.


Here are some perfumes that
makes men turn around!


Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue

This baby is the most favored scent of young girls too. It has a a casual and breezy, sparkling fruity-floral scent that evokes the spirit of the Sicilian summer.
