Blake Lively On July Marie Claire

It is true, Blake Lively has brought her own style to Marie Claire for their July issue that will hit newsstands on June 19th. As a preview, the "Fifty Shades Of Blake Lively" interview covers: career, fashion, her next movie 'Savage', Baxter - Ryan Reynolds dog?, and much more. Based on the stunning photos, it's clear that the summer has already started off on a stylish note for this talented actress. What follows is a glimpse of the actress and a few more reasons to like her.

Whose Style Is She Currently Obsessing Over?

"I love Florence Welch. She's pure magic. I always admire people who make really strong choices. When you do something bold, it's usually because you feel really good in it."

Five More Reasons To Like Blake Lively

No. 1 – She dresses herself.
When asked why she doesn't have professional help - "Because I love fashion. It's such an expression of self. I often see people and they look great, but I can identify who styled them. Every stylist has a signature.

No. 2 – She does her own hair and make-up.
Blake is a young, authentic beauty.

No. 3 – She is an animal lover.
Evidently Blake's entourage at the Marie Claire photo shoot consisted of her dog and Ryan's dog.

No. 4 – She understands the public's perception
"People like to draw parallels between my life and the scandalous stories on Gossip Girl. I dress the same as my character, so they think, She lives this life on and off set. I recently shared how many boyfriends I've had [four], and people were like, 'That's impossible!' But it's true. I've been with very few people. If I'm not with somebody who really excites or inspires me, then I'd rather be by myself."

No. 5 – She loves chocolate
Blake eats chocolate too!
