When I saw Blake Lively's editorial shoot for her July Glamour cover, I was instantly smitten. High heels, a pale pink pout, and an eery channeling of Brigitte Bardot? Yes please!

So I got to wondering...What does it take to be a glamour girl?

1. Sky-high platform pumps (see above)

2. A tiny pink sweater (preferably short-sleeved)

3. Beehive + perfectly pale nail polish

4. Red stilettos (preferably Louboutin)

5. Sexy tousled hair plus an adorable pooch

6. Mini boho dress (for flaunting your stems, of course)

7. Wide-brimmed hat to peek out kohl-rimmed eyes

...and above all, unfailing self-confidence balanced by a sense of humor.

This editorial has inspired me to pursue the Bardot look more often.

Starting with re-blonding my hair.

3+ inches of roots just doesn't seem all that sensible anymore.

P.S. - I'm the Professional Blogger Spotlight at IFB this week! I'm super thrilled!!
