Walking around the set of Gossip Girl, Blake Lively (aka Serena Van Der
Woodsen) is a mixture of high-glamour and casual-chic in a bright red maxi and

romp around

What's better then an adult onesie? This summer, make your romper/jumper/
jumpsuit/whatever-you-want-to-call-it, your go-to item for the season. It's stylish
and easy (in other words, subtract the stress of having to put together an outfit).
Focus on what your next sun soaked activity will be instead of what you'll be
wearing while doing it.

Long or short, the romper is super sexy and comfortable. Here are some jumpsuits
