Did not much like the other answer so here's an alternative for you. Basic logic: Display year/month only if it "new":

{% assign var currentYear = 0 %}
{% assign var currentMonth = 0 %}
{% for post in site.posts  %}
{% capture year %}{{ post.date | date: "%Y" }}{% endcapture %}
{% capture month %}{{ post.date | date: "%B" }}{% endcapture %}

{% if currentYear != year %}

  
{{ year }}

{% assign var currentYear = year %}
{% endif %}
{% if currentMonth != month %}

  
{{ month }}

{% assign var currentMonth = month %}
{% endif %}
{{ post.title }}
{% endfor %}
