Brooke – Flower Bracelet (4.13.12)

Posted on by
I think Brooke’s agent in real life should get her a gig as muse/model for Hermes or Ralph Lauren. Tell me she doesn’t own this outfit with classic Ralph Lauren elements, combined with the look of a little Escada and then some Marc Jacobs whimsy with her bracelet. I couldn’t help but keep following the bracelet like a cat watching a moving toy. I think it’s just a clever bracelet to put on with an outfit where you would expect to see a large gold link or rope style bracelet to match her necklace (boring). I’m so glad the stylists went with this lovely instead. Here is the bracelet if you want to try it with your own wardrobe:

Donna – Flower Necklace (4.13.12)

Hello Donna! Welcome back we missed you. Although you might of bummed out a few people with your ‘I have millions of dollars, I’m bored, can I have a job?’ And…done. Anyhow, since we are on the flower accessory kick this episode, why not acknowledge Donna’s delicate bloom necklace today. It’s a pretty one. I don’t know who the Real Deal is by, but here are some similar options:

Available at Kohl’s: $128

Taylor – Light Grey Blouse (4.11.12)

Posted on by
You would expect to see this style of blouse on Hope, but Taylor wears it beautifully. This ultra feminine blouse is a refreshing look on Taylor who has been weighed down by heavy fabrics and colors the last few times we have seen her. The gathering at the shoulder and hem of the short sleeves adds such a pretty detail, and the tie collar is perfect. I am so happy there isn’t any necklace with this, there is enough detail in the blouse. A simple stud earring is all this blouse needs. She is wearing it as a day look with a dark slim line skirt (perfect), but this could also work with that DVF bright blue skirt we saw on Hope not too long ago. I could also see this untucked with a skinny jean or pant on one of the other characters. Bottom line Taylor looks lovely! I believe the Real Deal is by Joie and sold out, but here are some similar versions:

Available at Shopbop.com: Joie top, $198

Available at Yoox.com: THEORY $55

Dayzee – Tie Dye Top (4.10.12)

Posted on by
Dayzee owns the bohemian chic look, actually I think she could own any look. But name another character that could wear a tie dye shirt and look amazing. Steffy would be a close second. I know Dayzee’s character is a super grounded, ultra cool without trying to be cool kind of gal, and her clothes represent that however…I wouldn’t be upset seeing her in some Zara and J Brand. Here’s her top if you want to copy her look:

Amber – Panel Tank Dress (4.9.12)

Posted on by
Amber continues to deceive Hope, and she’s also wearing a deceiving dress. This side panel contrast style dress was first designed by last year. We all said ‘omg’ when we saw stars wearing it on the red carpet thinking they became too skinny because that side paneling is a serious optical slimmer (thanks to getty images). Amber is wearing the same look in a black mini tank dress with grey side paneling. Here are a few similar versions:

Available at Shopbop.com: Alexander Wang tank dress, $475

Available at Bluefly.com: Marc New York $79.99

Available at Forever 21: mesh curve dress, $24.80

Steffy – Tassel Necklace (4.10.12)

Posted on by
Steffy seems so drama free and pulled together in general these days, especially compared to Hope. This outfit is the same. Pinstripe blazer… nice, sheer white tank…same, but put them together with an over-sized tassel necklace and you have this totally pulled together look. This looks great with her fitted black pants, but she would also look great in those corral pants she wore a few weeks back. Either way, looks great. Oh I almost forgot to mention the peek of a solid black bra under the sheer white is very Steffy cool. Here is the necklace and a Real World inexpensive version:

Hope – Grey Dress (4.5.12)

Posted on by
Hope is looking very innocent as she thanks her therapist for her fix of her drugs. Little does she know that Dr. Barton is not her pusher. However she is wearing a pretty A line dress in solid grey, mixed with large statement necklace and pearls. Her dress is by J. Crew and sold out, but here are a couple of versions if you must have:

Available at Farfetch.com: Hache A-line dress, $429

Available at J Crew: Lydia dress, $250,$69.99

Caroline – Tux Blazer and Sequin Mini Dress (4.4.12)

Posted on by
“Oh thank goodness I just happened to pack my sequin dress just in case there is a party”. I just made that quote up of course. Even with the blazer the dress is risque no? Deep decolletage and mini-mini? Ok, ok she looks great, and her youth and innocent and ethereal character de-sleaze the dress. The blazer is quite classic and something Steffy would definitely wear. Still trying to figure out Carolyn’s hodge-podge of style, but the blazer is thumbs up, here it is (and a version of the dress if you want to have available if a last minute party pops up for you):
The Real Deal

Available at Bergdorf Goodman: Elizabeth & James tux blazer, $595,$357

Available at Revolve Clothing: Sequin Dress, $134

Brooke – Clover Necklace (4.3.12)

Posted on by
There have been quite a few fab long necklaces of late, and this one is no exception. Brooke means business trying to assert her opinion onto Rick and Amber, but it doesn’t appear to be working. What does work though is this metallic bronze sheath dress, with the long clover design necklace by Tory Burch. The Real World necklace version is pretty close. Maybe the necklace will bring Brooke better luck next time. Here it is:
