Blake Lively appears on the September cover of Lucky, where she talks about building a home with her husband Ryan Reynolds in upstate New York.

She said of her style, which has changed throughout the years, that rumors that he dictates what she wears are absurd.

"I was recently asked how my style has changed since I got married, as if I was living under some sort of dictatorship," she told Lucky. "I should hope I dress differently at 25 than I did when I graduated high school. I hope I never stop changing."

She also said of fashion, "I never think about how other people will respond to the way I dress. Dressing up is all about reflecting how I feel."

Us Weekly notes that Lively also talked about home décor, saying Reynolds has “better taste” than she does.

"I'm very lucky to be with someone who has better taste than me," she said. "We influence each other in different ways."

She also likes the quick results, saying "With film and TV, you don't see the results for months. Building a home, you get immediate gratification."

After secretly marrying Reynolds in Sept. 2012, she’s settling nicely into being a wife. "Work is important, but my greatest passion is my personal life,” she gushed.
