It’s summertime in the city! And whatever games you play (basketball like Chuck Bass or field hockey like Blair Waldorf and Serena van der Woodsen), it’s time to get down and dirty with your favorite summer sport.

#TheList is all about helping you look and feel great even when you’re working out and being competitive. Check out Facebook.com/CreateYourList for everything you need to do this summer.

Singer/songwriter Julia Sheer used to dance competitively for five years and met up with Amanda Russell, a fitness and beauty expert, to find out how to perform at her peak and look good doing it. Amanda even gives a fun hotel workout you can do if you find yourself traveling around the world like an Upper East Sider all summer!

So, grab your BFF and Lift Your Game. Just like Manhattan’s elite, the stronger you are, the more confidence you’ll have, and everyone knows that’s the secret to being the best you can be.

You know You Love It. XOXO

AnnaSophia Robb to Play Carrie Bradshaw

Sorry, SJP. Time to pass those Manolo Blahniks to the younger generation once and for all. I hear that Soul Surfer starlet AnnaSophia Robb is set to play Carrie Bradshaw in the Sex and the City prequel TV pilot, The Carrie Diaries. Take a look at ASR and SJP side by side and tell me if Anna has enough style–and need for rhinoplasty–as Sarah Jessica Parker.

Let’s talk about the latest celeb gossip on the message boards.

It’s Over: Sebastian Stan & Dianna Agron

Looks like Dianna Agron will be putting “boyfriend” atop her list for Santa this year. I hear that the Glee babe split up with Sebastian Stan after their cross-country romance became too much to bear. But, my sources also tell me that for Christmas, Di will jet to NYC — the city Sebastian oh-so-coincidentally calls home. Could Di already be scheming to win Seb back?

Copy Blair’s Princess Style

Conservative is making a comeback, and Blair’s not the only lady tapping a Grace Kelly-esque style. Glam it up like Princess Beatrice and Sophie with Nina Ricci and Moschino–the experts in timeless sophistication. These retrospective looks will exude the perfect amount of class and refined elegance needed for any formal event or cocktail party this fall. Pair with a simple updo or loose waves and you’re good to go.

On the less fancy side of the scale, festive frocks from Opening Ceremony, Nina Ricci, and Peter Soronen are a perfect way to do retro at any birthday party, shower, or date. Match with some fun jewelry and a statement clutch to glam up the complete look.

And did we mention you can rent all of these designers for hundreds — even thousands! — less than their ritzy price tags?

Creepy Twins of the Day: Patrick Stump & Robyn

Since splitting from Fall Out Boy, Patrick Stump wasn’t going to sob about his single status. Instead, he wrote a solo album, dropped a ton of weight and made friends with a bottle of peroxide. But remember darlings, there is sometimes too much of a good thing. I spotted PS on set of his upcoming video for “This City” where he seemed to have gone makeover-board and morphed into Swedish electro-pop singer Robyn. Take a look at this terrifying comparison and tell me if you can tell the two apart…

Fashion Do: Giuliana Rancic Nails the Neutrals

My my, darlings, it seems we may have a new NYC Queen Bee contender. I spied Giuliana Rancic on her recent trip to the city and, well, can we say, “tres sucess?” The reality TV starlet and E! news hostess looked effortlessly chic in her all-white top (please, Giuls, tell us where you got the blazer), and black skinnies, paired with a camel-colored Hermes Birkin. Darlings, does this look make you swoon? Tell me your thoughts.

Treat Yourself to a “Gleekend”

Going through Glee withdrawl? Not to worry darlings. Simply gas up the G4 and head to Manhattan! A new vacay package is being offered at the Intercontinental Hotel in Times Square, where the Glee kids filmed their New York season finale. The package includes a Glee-inspired map of the city, a gourmet slushie from A-list chef Todd English‘s restaurant, and a framed pic of your fave show choir. Suddenly a mint on the pillow doesn’t seem so luxe, now does it?

Is Blake Lively the New Carrie Bradshaw?

Rumor has it that rather than hanging up her Sex and the City Manolos, Sarah Jessica Parker may be passing her pumps on to Blake Lively. Producers have their eye on B for the movie adaptation of the SATC prequel novel, The Carrie Diaries—and she obviously has the style to pull it off. So if Blake plays Carrie Bradshaw back in the day, who would you cast as Miranda, Charlotte and Samantha?
