Getting into character for her latest role, Blake Lively looked like she?d stepped out of a time machine from the 1970s as she prepared to shoot scenes for ?The Age of Adaline? on Thursday (April 3).
Joined by costar Ellen Burstyn, the ?Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants? hottie smiled as she ran lines in the Gastown District of Downtown Vancouver, Canada.
And given that her career takes her all over the world, Blake likes to surround herself with familiar scents to make her feel close to her loved ones.
Ms. Lively shared, "Fragrance is a superpower. Because if you smell the fragrance of someone you love, whether it?s your mom or your husband, the smell of your niece and nephew?s hair - that is one of the most powerful emotional experiences you can have.?
?When I first moved to New York I bought this baby shampoo that my nieces and nephews wore and their baby lotion. And I used to wear it because I missed them so much that having my hair smell like them made me somehow feel more connected with them."

Showing dedication to her craft, Blake Lively filmed late night scenes for her new movie ?Age of Adaline? in Vancouver, Canada on Wednesday (March 19).
Joined by ?Nashville? hunk Michiel Huisman, the ?Gossip Girl? starlet looked snazzy in an olive green overcoat as she gazed off into the night.
Blake told the April issue of Elle magazine that she was thrilled to take a break from the industry after her CW show came to a close.
"Having a personal life has been really nice. I'd been on Gossip Girl 10 months a year for six years, shooting 15-hour days, so I hadn't had time to just be since I graduated from high school. It's been nice to kind of settle into my own skin and work on things I really love."

I would never have chosen Blake Lively for a period film, but I have to say? she doesn?t look too bad in mid-20th-century costume. These are photos of Blake on the Vancouver set of Age of Adaline, her new starring role in a feature film. Blake hasn?t been on a film set since 2011, when she did Oliver Stone?s Savages. And she wrapped on Gossip Girl in 2012. So, it?s been about a year and a half since she?s worked as an actress, and about two-and-half years since she?s been on a film set. Did she do that on purpose? That?s the debate. While I don?t doubt that Blake could have hustled up some film work before now, I do wonder if she?s being offered the kind of roles she thinks she deserves. It?s the Biel Syndrome.
But, Blake got a lead and she?s filming it in her husband?s home country. Ryan Reynolds has been in Vancouver too, and he stopped by to see Blake yesterday. I guess they had lunch together. This too is one of the reasons that Blake didn?t work for a while: she was loved up and she hung up her Hustlin? Boots. She was focused on her marriage and that?s her choice. Bless her.
As for this film, which is either going to be called Adaline or Age of Adaline, it is period? sort of. Blake plays a woman who stops aging at the age of 29 after a near-fatal accident. She gets to be Forever 29 throughout the 20th century, until she meets a man and something happens. I can?t wait to see 1970s Blake.

Blake Lively is exhausting. Which is weird, because it?s not even like we talk about her that much these days. She barely works, she?s more model than actress nowadays and she doesn?t show up to the opening of an envelope. She?s been hunkered down (I guess) with Ryan Reynolds, taking modeling gigs and switching up her management team (because that was the problem, I suppose). But when I glanced through Blake?s new interview with The Cut, I just felt? exhaustion. It?s four pages of Blake taking endlessly about food and her special ?lifestyle? project which she still hasn?t launched. No one but Benedict Cumberbatch should be THIS chatty. You can read the full piece here (grab a cup of coffee to stay awake) and here are some highlights:
Does she use scent to get into character? ?Hm, I never thought about that. I think I do the other version. My scent is who I am, it?s very distinct. When I?m playing a character, I don?t wear perfume. I don?t want to feel like me, I want to disappear into it. I think that?s a big tell, so I don?t pick scents for characters. But I also play a lot of dark characters, so it would make me dislike a lot of scents. Maybe one day, when I play a lovely, enjoyable character who isn?t being tortured.?
What she smells like every day: ?I think I smell like ? cookies. [Laughs.] Chocolate chip, with a lot of pecans. No, but I really do wear Gucci Premiere every day. I love that it has feminine and masculine [notes]. I?m very particular with fragrance, and used to wear a different fragrance in the summer and winter, or for different events. But because Gucci Premiere is so nicely balanced, I don’t have to do that anymore.? [Editor?s note: ah, great infomercial.]
The scent of her first date: ?Hmm. I don?t know if I have ever been on a date. Maybe the Cheesecake Factory? Yeah ? that would work. [Laughs.] I guess? I don?t know. My first date must have been my first boyfriend, when I was a senior in high school. And you don?t really go on dates then. You know what I mean? I?ve always dated people I?ve been friends with for a long time. So maybe Cheesecake Factory. That?s where I would go now.?
Haircare: ?Something my mom does that is kind of cool: She puts coconut oil on the ends of her hair. When you shampoo your hair, you?re trying to get the oil out of your roots, but you really want the rest of your hair to maintain its moisture. When you put coconut oil on the ends, the shampoo gets oil out of the roots, but also protects the ends.?
Whether she would ever do a pixie cut: ?Hmm, I don?t know. For me, my hair is like a shield. I?m actually a pretty shy person by nature. With long hair, you can put your hair down and cover your face. I think a pixie cut is so cute. I just think that everyone that has one is the most courageous person. It?s so daring to do that! I get geeked out by people when they do that. They?re awesome. Would I do it? Maybe. But it?s totally ballsy. You see someone do that and you think, I want to be friends with them. They?re really brave.?
Her lifestyle site isn?t really about lifestyle: ?I don?t know if it?s a lifestyle site. I was very vague about it. And because of that, everyone was filling in the blanks about what other sites it could be like. It?s not accurate. I?m creating a brand that I felt the need for. I was on my show [Gossip Girl] for so long that I really wanted to break from acting, because it lost its excitement for me in a way, because it was such a job. I never lost my appreciation for [acting], though. I just felt like I didn?t have as much to offer because I got used to it. I wanted to explore other passions. At first, I didn?t know what I wanted to do. The company came from something separate when I had that free time. It’s a space I wanted that I couldn?t find anywhere else. I?m still being very vague, intentionally. But I?m really, really excited. By the time it launches, we will have developed it for two years. So it?s a lot of time, energy, efforts, resources, working with amazing people. No [it will not be about lifestyle.] Yes, it will be a site. But not necessarily lifestyle.?
On Gwyneth?s GOOP: ?Oh my gosh, I?m such a huge fan. I think Goop is amazing. Pinterest I?m obsessed with. Etsy is not a lifestyle site, but it?s pretty amazing what they?ve done. But I think it?s also neat, all the blogs. They don?t need a huge company behind them. You can just be a fan of fashion, art, or a fan of all things. There are so many Tumblrs I like to follow.?
She has a Pinterest: ?I have a Pinterest account. I don?t have any friends on it. It?s not under my name. It?s not like, top secret. It?s just a way that I can store the boards. If I?m looking [at] hair things, I see, oh, that?s me! That?s so weird! But I do re-pin pictures of Ryan. [Laughs.]
Does use Gwyneth Paltrow?s cookbooks? ?No, I haven’t. I don?t really cook from a cookbook. But I have her cookbooks. I have so many: Thomas Keller?s whole collection, Joel Rubochon, and Nigella Lawson. To me, they?re more like coffee-table books. I think her cookbook is beautiful. I geek out with Thomas Keller. He?s my number one. He?s like my superhero. Chefs are like my rock stars. I could meet the biggest movie star and feel so honored, but if I see a chef, I just want to hide under a table.
[From The Cut]
Blake does confirm that her site will be about food and ?a little bit of everything? (which means that it IS lifestyle) and that she will launch it in 2014. I do enjoy how Blake is walking the fine line with Gwyneth Paltrow ? Blake wants to acknowledge that Gwyneth?s GOOP is the standard-bearer of pretentious celebrity side-project lifestyle sites, but Blake also wants people to think that she?s going to do it differently.
Also ? ?I really wanted to break from acting, because it lost its excitement for me in a way, because it was such a job.? Yes, Blake. It was your choice, of course. I mean, I think she did want to take some time off and stuff, but if she had been offered some good scripts, she would have jumped at it. There?s a good dose of Jessica Biel-ism in here, I think.

Getting a fresh start with a new agency as she builds her film career, Blake Lively left CAA for WME recently.
The "Gossip Girl" star is in good company as her handsome hubby Ryan Reynolds is also repped by the same company.
On deck for the 26-year-old actress is the romantic drama, "Adaline," costarring Ellen Burstyn and directed by Lee Toland Krieger..
In the movie, a young woman, born at the turn of 20th century, is rendered ageless after an accident. After years of a solitary life, she meets a man who might be worth losing her immortality.

Here is one the new photos of Blake Lively released by her new employer, L?Oreal. Blake became the newest ?face? for L?Oreal last week, and I do have to admit, this is a lovely photo. I wouldn?t have gone with black-and-white though ? it seems like a makeup/beauty company should always do color images. Still, this photo makes it seem like this campaign will be much better than Blake?s sad Gucci campaign.
Anyway, Blake Lively has always claimed that she doesn?t do much to maintain her figure. For years, she?s given interviews about how she?s so young and active, she doesn?t need to exercise or plan her workouts or anything like that. Well, she?s at it again:
Blake Lively has the A-list husband and Hollywood film career, and just in case you didn’t have enough reasons to dislike her – she credits her amazing figure to chocolate. The ‘Gossip Girl’ actress never deprives herself of anything and thinks her penchant for sweet treats – which she consumes for breakfast and as an evening snack – helps her stay slim and confident.
Asked if she follows a strict regime, Blake said: ‘I do nothing! I’m lucky to have a very active lifestyle. I’m always running around everywhere… So I don’t need to hire a coach or watch what I eat. I can’t start my day off without a mug of hot chocolate or finishing off the day with a few squares of dark chocolate… It keeps me feeling happy.’
Blake – who has just been unveiled at the new face of L’Oreal Paris – says her glowing complexion is down to wearing high factor sunscreen every single day.
She explained: ‘I follow a very simple regime which is broken down into three steps: make-up removal, skincare and UV protection – I’m absolutely obsessed with it. My beauty must have is L’Oreal’s BB Cream with SPF 30 – I never ever wear anything less than that factor.’
When she’s feeling down, Blake admits her perfect pick-me-up is a spa session as she always emerges feeling more relaxed.
The 26-year-old blonde revealed in an interview with French Vogue magazine: ‘Getting a massage, if possible at the Mandarin Oriental spa in New York, which I love. I always feel much more beautiful afterwards…’
[From The Mail]
First of all? do you believe her about the working out thing? I do, kind of. I think she has great genes when it comes to her metabolism, but here?s something funny: that?s going to change for Blake in a few years. Once she hits her early 30s, she won?t be able to start and end the day with chocolate and still maintain her figure. Your early 30s are brutal, at least if you?re someone like Blake. On the plus side, if you?re like me and you?ve always had a fuller, rounder face, your 30s are when you finally ?get? cheekbones.

She?s accustomed to the finer things in life, and last night (October 29) Blake Lively showed up at Hotel Balzac in Paris, France for some delicious French cuisine.
The ?Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants? starlet was all smiles as she sauntered inside sporting a white top and blue and white printed trousers.
Ms. Lively was likely celebrating the announcement that she?s the new face of L?Oreal Paris, with a multimillion dollar partnership slated to begin next year.
Meanwhile, Blake?s acting career is also heating up following the demise of ?Gossip Girl?? she?s replaced Katherine Heigl in the forthcoming film ?The Age of Adaline.?

I think Blake Lively is pretty. That?s a controversial opinion, I guess. But I really do think she?s got a great, accessible prettiness. I always thought the haute-couture criticisms of Blake from Team Chanel people were actually dead-on: she shouldn?t be ?the face? of a label like Chanel because her prettiness is so down-market. Which is to say, she?s got a girl-next-door freshness, a happy sunniness that doesn?t always translate so well to stuffy luxury labels. Blake belongs on the cover of Cosmo, not Vogue. Blake should represent H&M, not Chanel. Her work for Gucci is a joke too, just another attempt to make her seem ?deeper? or more enigmatic than she could ever be. But Blake has a new endorsement deal, and I actually think this one might fit her look the best: she?s the newest face of L?Oreal!
Shiny hair. Hot husband. Burgeoning lifestyle empire. You wouldn?t have thought anything was missing from Blake Lively?s life, but it turns out there was one last thing absent from her rsum: A major makeup campaign.
Well, you can stop feeling sorry for her, because that all changed today. According to the L?Oral Paris Instagram account, Lively will be the brand?s newest face. Or as they put it, ?Annonce exclusive: Nous souhaitons la bienvenue la somptueuse et talentueuse Blake Lively, nouvelle ambassadrice L?Oral Paris ! Dfinitivement elle le vaut bien!? (Rough translation thanks to three years of high school French: ?Exclusive announcement! We?re excited to welcome the gorgeous and talented Blake Lively, our new lady ambassador! She?s definitely worth it!?)
[From People Mag]
Blake as the face of a makeup company that is in every CVS and grocery store in America? Yes. This is perfect. Plus, the message is absolutely dead-on ? you too can look like Blake Lively with L?Oreal makeup. Which is true ? she?s pretty, for sure, but she gets a lot of help from makeup and clothes. Which makes her accessible. I dislike when makeup/beauty companies hire really young starlets to represent their brand (I?m still side-eyeing Lancome?s work with Emma Watson and now Lily Collins), but on this collaboration, I?m all for it. This makes perfect sense.
[Whispers] Plus, it?s not like Blake has much else going on. She just signed on to her first movie role in more than two years. She?s going to launch a budget Goop site. And it?s not like she?s getting pregnant any time soon, I guess. These days, she does more modeling than acting.

A few weeks ago, Blake Lively announced that she would be launching her own lifestyle/homemaking/whatever website, which just sounded like a budget version of Gwyneth Paltrow?s GOOP. According to Blake, however, her project was ?without a genre,? something so new and unique that we would eat our peasanty words. At the time, I kind of thought this choice made sense. Blake finds herself in a weird position ? she?s the queen of ?uptrading? but her actual film/TV career is going nowhere.
We can debate whether that?s a conscious choice Blake has made ? to spend more time on her side projects and to focus on being a newlywed wife and homemaker ? but can we agree that her acting career is in the dumps? I personally think Hollywood could easily find a place for Blake if she only downgraded her expectations. If Jessica Biel, Jessica Alba and Megan Fox can have acting careers, so can Blake. But Blake thinks she?s better. Blake thinks she?s got enough hustle to be a major actress. She does have that hustle. But she doesn?t really have the talent. And that disparity is a factor in why she hasn?t worked on a film since 2011 (Savages) and why she?s probably been saying ?no? to the films she has been offered.
But now she?s scored a new movie. So does she still have to pretend to care about lifestyle blogging?
The romantic drama The Age Of Adaline has been through a couple of incarnations, but it is now set to go into production in March as a co-production between Sidney Kimmel Entertainment and Lakeshore Entertainment. The Town?s Blake Lively is set to star with Ellen Burstyn, with Lee Toland Krieger directing. Lionsgate is set to release the film domestically.
Scripted by J. Mills Goodloe and Salvador Paskowitz, with revisions by Allison Burnett, The Age Of Adaline follows the miraculous life of the 29-year old title character, who stops aging after recovering from a near-fatal accident. Over the 20th century she embarks on an epic but isolated worldwide journey, keeping her secret, until she meets a man who forever alters her life.
?They?re extraordinarily talented and perfect for telling the beautiful and timeless tale of The Age Of Adaline,? Lakeshore CEO Rosenberg said of Lively and Burstyn. Added Lakeshore prexy Lucchesi: ?Lee Toland Krieger is one of the most stylish young filmmakers working in Hollywood today. He is visually imaginative and possesses a strong narrative sense.?
Noting that the project took awhile to come together (Katherine Heigl once was attached), Lionsgate Motion Picture Group Co-Chairs Rob Friedman and Patrick Wachsberger said: ?We searched for the ideal director and stars. We believe that we have found them with Lee Toland Krieger, Blake Lively and Ellen Burstyn, and together they will tell the story of Adaline in a way that audiences won?t forget.?
[From Deadline]
It sounds like an incredibly boring movie. I bet it will LOOK good, but it sounds sort of a like a budget version (with some tweaking) of Orlando (with Tilda!). Still, it?s a starring role and she gets to work with Oscar-winner Ellen Burstyn. That?s exciting. I guess babies will have to wait a while longer, Ryan Reynolds.

Blake Lively doesn?t have a lot going on. I sometimes debate whether this is by design or whether the rest of Hollywood is a little bit smarter than Ben Affleck and Anna Wintour. Blake is a ?Fashion Girl? who tried to be a movie star for a little while? until she got the Pink diamond from Ryan Reynolds. Now she?s all home renovations, WASP-y vacations and cupcake-baking. I kept thinking that she would get knocked up right away just to firm up her new Suzy Homemaker image, but that hasn?t happened. Which surprises me ? and I bet it surprises Ryan Reynolds too. Anyway, since no one is sending Blake any scripts, she?s decided to do the same thing Gwyneth Paltrow decided to do when she stopped getting good scripts: launch a ?lifestyle? brand. Yes, Blake Lively is going Full Goop.
Blake Lively is launching her own company, and this time it has nothing to do with acting.
“It’s something that will be launching in a few months and that I’m really, really thrilled about. The main element of it is that it’s about storytelling and it’s about living a very one-of-a-kind, curated life, and how to achieve that. There’s nothing like it out there – it’s without a genre,” Lively told us. “I have so many passions outside of acting and things that I grew up being good at and that I don’t utilize when acting. Acting was something that my family did so I just kind of got into it by default, but there was so much that I cultivated, thinking that I wouldn’t be an actor.”
Lively says that she has had the opportunity to branch out into new projects since she finished filming Gossip Girl just under a year ago, and took part in Gucci’s “amazing” Chime for Change concert this year as well as continuing as the face of the fashion house’s Premiere fragrance. But fans of her work needn’t worry, it certainly isn’t the end of her acting career.
“A lot has changed for me in the last year! I got married, I finished Gossip Girl after six years, I had my first break in a while and I’ve been working on this company? it has been nice to have a separation from my show. The first film I did coming out of Gossip Girl, I wanted it to be different from anything I’ve ever done but also representative of where I want to go, because now I’m in a different place,” she told us.
“When I was doing Gossip Girl, I had these short breaks where I could play a character on weekends, but there’s a movie I’m really excited about that I’ll be doing this winter and one of the most enticing parts of it is that it spans from the 1900s until now. The fashion is amazing, and my character gets to experience all of the different time periods and tell the story through fashion. It’s not a movie about fashion, but it’s an integral part of who she is and the whole story.”

WTF? No seriously? WTF is she talking about? ?The main element of it is that it’s about storytelling and it’s about living a very one-of-a-kind, curated life, and how to achieve that. There’s nothing like it out there – it’s without a genre.? So, basically, she?s launching some kind of squishy lifestyle brand that will teach people how to live like Blake Lively? Sure, that?s ?one of a kind,? but let?s not pretend that ?it?s without a genre.? The ?genre? of lifestyle branding/aspirational living stuff has been around for a LONG time, chica. At best, this will be a knockoff of Martha Stewart. At worst, it will be a really budget version of Goop.
