Here are some photos of Blake Lively over the weekend – photographers caught her out and about in NYC (the blue outfit) and then she made an appearance at the 2014 American Made Summit, where she did a one-on-one with Martha Stewart in front of an audience. The American Made Summit appearance was the white Michael Kors ensemble – it’s a separate skirt and sweater, just FYI. It’s cute standing up, but it looks uncomfortable sitting down. I kind of think Blake is just coming into that really uncomfortable stage of pregnancy anyway, and she’s still trying to work it with those really high heels. But she’s glowing, obviously. Very pretty. I think the turquoise is a bit much, but it’s fine.

Blake and Martha have been friendly for a few years now, although Blake got side-swiped by Martha’s CEO back in September, during the same interview where Martha went Full Shade on Gwyneth Paltrow. It doesn’t seem like Blake and Martha’s relationship was affected though – or maybe their relationship is built on Blake kissing Martha’s ass and recognizing her as Alpha Dog.

Preserving their friendship! Pregnant Blake Lively and Martha Stewart reunited at Stewart’s American Made event in NYC on Saturday, Nov. 8. Despite Stewart’s past subtle jabs at the mom-to-be’s new lifestyle site Preserve, the women hit it off during their panel, with Stewart introducing Lively as her “friend and neighbor.” Mrs. Ryan Reynolds, 27, looked relaxed as she took the stage, wearing a long-sleeve flowing white dress and turquoise-colored statement necklace. “You looked very different when I last saw you,” Stewart teased of her baby bump. During their exchange, the Gossip Girl alum opened up about both her professional and personal life. Check out 5 cute tidbits:

1. How They Met
It’s known that Lively and Stewart, 73, are real-life neighbors, but the women also revealed that they first met through their mutual realtor. When Stewart asked about Reynolds, Lively quipped: “When we met, Martha was like, ‘I know how to ride a motorcycle!’ That’s the only woman who can creep up on my man and I’d be okay with it.”

2. Home Life
Lively and Reynolds, who are waiting to find out the sex of their baby, are enjoying their country home in upstate Bedford, N.Y. “I just love it. I’m just a glutton for punishment,” Lively said of decorating the space. The actress also would like to learn how to knit.

3. Family Traditions
Lively and Reynolds’ little one better get ready! Lively and her loved ones have always celebrated the holidays in a unique way. “My family has this horrible tradition — we love wrapping presents,” she said during the panel. “My family doesn’t buy presents until after Christmas because they’re on sale.” Besides traditions, Lively also has bonded with her family through Preserve. Her older brother Eric often takes photos for the site. “My brother — he’s amazing,” she said. “It just shows how important family is to me.”

4. Preserve Isn’t About Her
Lively is having fun sharing some of her favorite things to buy, wear, and eat, but admits she doesn’t know “what the heck” she’s doing when it comes to how much she will incorporate motherhood on Preserve. “I’ve always been hungry for knowledge and experience. I don’t have that amount of expertise but I have an incredible amount of passion…I want to create my own career and I want to create my own world. That’s part of the reason I created Preserve: I needed a world that is my own and I am in charge of that success or failure at the end of the day.”

5. Ryan’s Involvement
Lively’s hubby is hands on with Preserve — whether he likes it or not! “He is probably more than he wants to be,” she joked. “Poor thing, he’s got a nice day job too!” Lively first launched her lifestyle website in July. Last month, she used the platform to announce that the couple are expecting their first child together.

Of course she wants to take up knitting. And I guess it’s a good thing that she says straight-out that she’s not a lifestyle expert or anything like that. You know who’s a lifestyle expert? Martha Stewart. Martha knows about the artisan craftsmen living in the wilderness of rural Georgia. Martha knows about the old-fashioned woodworker in Wyoming. Martha knows about the grandmother making rugs on an old-school loom in Taos, New Mexico. Martha has probably featured all of those people on her show or magazine at one point. So Blake better recognize.
