Hope – Paisley & Chambray (9.4.12)

Look: Hope - Paisley & Chambray (9.4.12)
How does Hope pull off vandalism as adorablz? Well, I do declare, I like this current outfit mix better than before with this J Crew skirt we first saw back here in June. (Remember the neon sweater?). And we saw this classic chambray style shirt here at the end of May with that bright A line mini and the tie. Unfortunately the skirt is sold out. Sorry. If you are looking for a chambray shirt staple, here’s one below

Taylor – Silk T (8.20.12)

Look: Taylor - Silk T (8.20.12)
Simple but elegant don’t you think? I generally like Taylor in a less is more kind of look (and by less I mean not too busy or over accessorized). I like this with the straight leg white pants. It would also look great with a navy pencil skirt and navy ankle strap heels. I am pretty sure that The Real Deal is by 3.1 Philip Lim, but not in this pink tone anymore (in pretty much every other color).

Look: Hope - Striped Tank (7.24.12)
Did you hear Brooke’s comment about ‘Hope is changing her style’? Interested to see what that’s going to be all about. In the meantime, it’s still pretty classic Hope preppy chic in her nautical chill at home outfit. Striped tank and cut off shorts. Cute. There are tons of striped tanks out there, here are a couple to choose from:

Hope – Linen Blouse/ Paisley Shorts (7.3.12)

Part of the charm of linen is that a wrinkle or two or many is expected. And hey give Hope a break, I wish I looked that fresh coming off a long international flight. Liam is heading back to the office, while Hope chills a bit with her Mom. Hope has the best gig of all time at Forrester I think. Model, spokesperson, flexible hours. Anyhow, it is summertime, and nice to see everyone in trendy summer attire. Here’s the Real Deal shorts, but I think the blouse may be a previous J Crew version of the Tessa blouse shown below.

Brooke – Beaded Collar Blouse (6.5.12)

This Mother of the Bride is getting family invited and ready for the big day (maybe?) in Italy, but she is going to flip when she runs into the uninvited Father of the Bride. In the meantime she is looking very cool and very confidant and very beautiful. She is starting to introduce some Mother of the Bride elements into her wardrobe already with this sleeveless, pleated, beaded collar blouse. This is a good look for Brooke. Here are some similar versions:

Hope – Neon & Paisley (6.5.12)

Maybe I am not fashiony enough, but I would play it safer with these pieces. I’m all for mixing patterns and colors, but the paisley skirt with the muted tones in there….wouldn’t this look fresh and on trend with a crisp white blouse? Keep the big necklace, although I might pick a different one. And same with the top. Let’s face it, neon isn’t the easiest to wear unless it’s in the form of a bikini with a rockin’ tan, but Hope really can wear this little neon sweater and manage to look even brighter. I would have just liked to have seen it with some white pants like the ones Steffy was wearing today. But maybe I’m being boring. In any case. here are the Real Deal pieces if you want to copy the look entirely, or break it up. You know where my vote is:
