You all really loved Blake Lively's look at the 2008 Teen Choice Awards, judging by the
poll results. This casual updo showcases her golden highlights and gives her a sassy yet casual vibe. Best of all, it's the polar opposite of structured, every-hair-in-its-place updos — so you don't need to be a Sally Hershberger or Frederic Fekkai to recreate it at home.

- Step one: Start with freshly washed hair, then blow-dry it until it's about 70-80 percent dry.
The "Inner V" of your eye isn't a technical term, it's a makeup-application one that refers to the inner corners of your eyes. By adding a highlighter or brightener to this area (see the white shimmery shadow that creates a v-shape on Blake Lively's eyes), you can really make your eyes stand out.
Learning how to play up your inner v is easy. Simply use a gold, pink, white or cream
highlighter,
eye shadow or
liner pencil and draw a horizontal V along the top to the bottom of the inner corner of your eye.
Last night's finale of
Gossip Girl was everything I had hoped — well, besides Serena and Dan's sad breakup (oops, don't want to spoil too much). Think they'll stay separated all Summer long. I don't, but I'm pretty much a hopeless romantic — kinda like Chuck.
Once again,
Gossip Girl doesn't disappoint. The first half of the show was filled with a cat-and-mouse chase of Dan trying to find Serena, but the last half was where all of the real drama unfolded. I can't wait to see what happens with Nate and V's cute courtship, if there will be more hot kissing from Lily and Rufus, and of course if Sarah (er, Georgina) gets busted by the gang in Queens.
Only on the Upper East Side would a mother be able to watch her daughter's sex tape in the afternoon and by the evening have it all sorted out.
