The Blake Lively Vogue June 2010 issue has the blond bombshell and actress sporting California beach babe-style beach wear on the cover of the magazine and in a spread called 'The Swell Life.'
For the feature, Vogue editor Hamish Bowles accompanies Lively as she gets surf lessons from legendary surfer Rob Machado. Machado can be seen escorting his lovely student in several of the photos.
The Blake Lively Vogue June spread also features a very retouched image of Lively, who is known for her perky and ample assets. In the photo Lively wears a white bikini and her collarbone and chest area are noticeably smooth and...small.
