My colleagues here at TotalBeauty.com can attest to my love of braided hairstyles. I sport one weekly. They are a great way to disguise hair in need of washing and to ease the pain of growing out bangs. So today I'm giving props to our favorite "Gossip Girl" Blake Lively for the romantic braided style she wore to the "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2" premiere. Doesn't she just look lovely?
