My personal favourite Gossip Girl Blake Lively is looking distinctly patriotic this month as she graces the cover of W Magazine. Wearing a red peplum dress with her hair in loose curls Blake looks sultry and more grown up than her on screen character Serena.

Blake's golden patriotism hits newstands as Americans recover from their Thanksgiving celebrations. Americans aren't the only ones showing some love for blue, white and red as British brand start to promote the Union Jack more for Spring too. From Chanel's 2.55 to Warehouse's military style ensemble it seems we all need some national pride.
