Blake Lively’s Fishtail Plait : How to cheat your way to this look!

Blake Lively is one of my big girl crushes (look, I LOVE Gossip Girl OK?) and I think she has an amazing style. OK, an amazing stylist. Sure, it’s easy to dress well when you’re young, thin and rich, but she really seems involved in choosing her colours and clothing, and she generally seems to get it right. I got sent this lovely picture of Blake Lively at the premiere for Savage in New York, and think her fishtail plait is stunning. I like seeing celebs with hairstyles we can replicate at home, and though a fishtail IS fiddly, it’s so much easier than ring curls or a French Plait, that I’m happy she’s bringing it back.

The peeps who sent me this stunning snap suggested you could recreate this at home with a clip in hair extension piece- which you would need if you were going to achieve Blake’s length (unless you already gave extensions). The  A-List Clip-In Hair Extension Wrap Around Pony Tail by Feleny Georghiou was an option (fishtail to be recreated by yourself once length is added) and this can be yours for £19.99 from Tesco (check in store as it’s hard to find online).

I’ve searched around and found ANOTHER good clip in option- a ready made fishtail from Wonderland Wigs for £14.99. so you’ll have to choose if you want versatility or ease when you buy these.

Which route will you opt for?
