Holy sex kitten, Miss Lively!  We shall not comment on the artfully-shaded and insanely perky cleavage at left (oops, we just did), but there’s no denying that Blake Lively is as gorgeous, sexy and cute as it gets.

On the cover of December’s Marie Claire, Blake’s chest takes center stage (let’s be real) but her shiny, wavy, flowing locks are also to die for.  Personally, I don’t like the Homeless Hippie Hair the stylists on Gossip Girl usually give Serena–she always looks like she’s one roll in the sack away from dreads–so I am firmly on board with the clean, non-fuzzy hair shown here.

For waves like this, use a flat iron with rounded edges (mine is the FHI Ceramic 1″) and quickly run it down the length of hair, twisting the flat iron away from the face once (for shorter hair) or twice (for long hair) as you slide the iron through strands.  It will give a less perfect coil than a curling iron, and creates very slight waves.  Finish with a spritz of shine spray.  And then rock a black bustier and unbuttoned pink cardigan, cause why not?
