The mother you want to be: Blake Lively

BLAKE LIVELY has revealed that she plans to follow in the footsteps of her mother Elaine and sisters Robyn and Lori when she becomes a mother - adding that her new website has also taught her a thing or two about being a mother.

"If I could pass along anything that my mother or my sisters taught me, I feel like my kids would be very well off," she said as she attended the the L'Oreal Paris 2014 Women of Worth Celebration in New York on Tuesday, alongside women being celebrated for the difference that they have made in several fields. "I am fortunate enough to come across people like that and anything I learn from them - to be able to expose my children and instil any sort of values or motivation in them. That's exciting." "To each their own," she said of being a working mum.

 

David and Victoria Beckham for Vogue Paris

David and Victoria Beckham for Vogue Paris, the December issue.

While Beckham has become a fashion superstar on the New York scene, she’s built a global business empire, never failing to build on her success wherever life has taken her. In London she picked up 2011’s Designer Brand of the Year award at the British Fashion Awards, in Los Angeles she made a home for herself and her family, and, in Paris she didn’t skip a beat, following husband David Beckham as he joined football team Paris Saint Germain.

So, what does a typical day look like for the designer? Vogue Paris reveals all, stepping backstage at Beckham’s Spring/Summer 2014 show and following in the star’s famously high-heeled footsteps to take in her favorite Paris hotspots. Back in London come tea time, readers join Beckham and friends Valentino Garavani, Anish Kapoor and Marc Jacobs, once advised Beckham to “be true to yourself and never scrimp on style,” as they reminisce and talk fashion. And, to look at the pages of the issue which sparkle with holiday inspiration, luxury gift ideas and a little winter warmth courtesy of an exclusive look at La Madrague - Brigitte Bardot's house on the French Riviera, a corner of the country beloved by Bardot and Beckham alike - Victoria has taken Jacobs’ words to heart.
