January's Style Icon

In addition to a monthly Blonde Wannabe's Addictions column, I have decided to add a monthly Style Icon article. These icons will represent strong, beautiful, and (most importantly) successful women, all of whom have a unique & signature style. Creating and defining one's own sense of style can be difficult, as fashion is constantly evolving and changing. The women to be featured in this column not only understand this evolution; they embrace it.

January's Style Icon is Blake Lively, most famous for playing NYC socialite Serena Van Der Woodsen on the CW hit "Gossip Girl". In addition to her role on the series, Lively has starred in movies including "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants", "The Town", and "Savages".

What I admire most about the starlet is her seemingly effortless beauty and sense of style. With her signature long blonde locks and model body, the actress can truly wear anything. Some of my favorites are shown below:

The starlet truly looks like a summer goddess, in this daring orange dress! 

This gold dress, accessorized with a pile of necklaces is perfect for a night on the town. 

This simple pink gown looks flawless with Blake's coloring! 

As for Blake's street style? Super cute, and look at those shoes! Oh la la.
