Katie – Bright Blouse (5.23.12)

Posted on by
Nobody seems too happy about Katie being pregnant. I hate that when you give what you would expect to be good news, only to be met with the stink face. She tried; with a big bright smile, and a big bright blouse to match. But even that didn’t de-ice Brooke’s reaction to the news. I love seeing Katie in bright colors, and this one is about as high on the bright scale as you can get. I am almost positive that this Zara shirt is the Real Deal:

Steffy – Long Sleeve Mini Dress (5.22.12)

Posted on by
This is why the show is called ‘The Bold and the Beautiful’. You literally have to be both to be able to be able to carry this hot little number off. Well you don’t have to be perfect, but you definitely have to be bold. How about that quasi-sheer panel? Here are some versions if you want to go for it. And if you do go for it, girllll, you’ve got my support.

Allison – Mint & Tan Wrap Dress (5.22.12)

Posted on by
Allison is now an official co-conspirator with Bill with their ‘borderline ethics/legal antics’ and she was entertainingly convincing doing so. She looked convincing in her wrap dress. I mentioned in my last post about her how I was happy she was moving into bold colors. Now I am equally happy she is wearing pale colors again including the season’s ‘must have mint’. I guess she can do the color spectrum. Lucky gal.

Hope – Polka Dot Dress (Italy)

Bella! You must admit not only does Hope usually look pretty in polka dots, but this style of dress is perfect for her. I can’t quite tell if her shoes are coral, red or orange, but they work perfect with the dress. Here is the Real Deal and some other versions. I threw a small capped sleeve version in there because I know not everyone likes to wear sleeveless.

Katie – Black & White Dress (5.18.12)

Posted on by
Don’t you just love Fridays? For so many reasons. And in the Soaps world it is like Christmas every Friday, being left with a huge gift to marinate on all weekend long. I don’t want to spoil storyline too much JUST in case you haven’t seen this episode yet. Let’s just say it involves the star of our post today and her delicate dedicated husband Bill.

Let’s get to the dress. What do you think? Here’s what I like about it. I like the draping, the asymmetry, and the very unexpected way the contrast colors work; with the black on back wrapping forward into the bodice. What I don’t like about it. I think it’s about 4 inches too short on Katie on the shortest part of the hem, and the cut is, well, kind of unusual. Unless Katie is pregnant in real life (oops I just blew the story line), then this dress seems too baggy. Maybe it is supposed to be a looser fit, if so, I’m not a huge fan. Which is unusual because I LOVE Helmut Lang, and I also love how Katie looks in just about everything. Or maybe if the fit is intended to be looser then it may work better on someone like Carolyn or Steffy. I find myself wanting to love it, but I can’t. Maybe on Monday it will grow on me. Here’s the Real Deal:

Steffy – Eyelet Top (Italy)

Posted on by
I want to go to Southern Italy! I want to go to Southern Italy! And I want to wear an off the shoulder eyelet top like this. And ride a scooter. And drink wine. And get a great tan and wear this top (but not a cropped one for me) and with a neon belt like Steffy.  Here are a few options to get the look:

*Request* Steffy – Lace Dress (Italy)

Posted on by
What a simple, yet gorgeous look. Here’s the deal though, I am working off of photos released from the filming, so I can’t quite tell exactly what I’m looking for here. At first glance, it looks like an antique lace overlay dress. At second and closer look it looks like a lace overlay maxi skirt, with a white tank and tan belt. It really does. I don’t know if this outfit will be airing so I can get a better look, so the best I can do for now is to give you a couple options for skirts so you can make the look yourself. I found one similar dress.

Caroline – Bright Yellow Dress (5.14.12)

Posted on by
How many people can wear this color and look gorgeous? Well Caroline is one of them. She does a little color blocking with the wide cobalt belt and cuff bracelet, then balances with a nude shoe. Smart. Otherwise 1985 would be staring us in the face.  Instead she has a pulled together and modern look. She may have the tiniest waist in LA too. Here are some versions if you are feeling brave:

Steffy – Chiffon Halter (5.11.12)

Posted on by
I shouldn’t ever harsh on Caroline for office appropriate garb because this one has Friday night cocktail-ing written all over it. Chiffon halter with leather pants, I mean c’mon…Steffy looks glam, sexy and cool. I’ll be honest the only criticism I could possibly make is that makeup just got too excited with the eyes here. I cannot find the Real Deal (and I would like to say ‘yet’), and trust me I looked, because I want this halter. The back black sheer paneling makes it. So if you by any chance find it before I do, let me know and I’ll be sure to give you credit. In the meantime, here are some similar Real World versions.

Allison – Cobalt Blouse (5.11.12)

Posted on by
Allison is a hoot, she gives it right back to Bill. Her character is certainly developing some great sarcasm chops. I’m also happy to see wardrobe putting her in some bright colors. Looks how in-sane this color looks with her blond hair. This looks great with her black pants, or try a pencil skirt, or color block with some colored skinny jeans. Nice.
