Hope – Polka Dot Blouse (4.23.12)

Monday’s are always days to make decisive moves, yes? You have the entire weekend to think about things like, ‘I’m never drinking again’, or ‘I’m going to the gym 5x this week’. Hope just so happened to decide she doesn’t want to be friends with Amber anymore. Probably a wise decision. She also woke up and decided to wear a quirky girl/preppy/nautical style outfit. The blouse is by J Crew and if you look closely it actually has a jacquard ivory polka dot as well. Kind of fun. The red long necklace accessorizing totally works. Cute!

The Real Deal

Taylor – Fringe Tie Blouse (4.20.12)

Doc is trying to have another reasonable and logical conversation with Ridge about Steffy and Thomas, and their respective love lives. I mean, she always has good points. As well, her points are always driven home more seriously when she has a great outfit on. Tie front blouses are so in fashion again this year, but this one has that little extra umph with the fringed tie. I understand you can detach the fringe as well from this Real Deal version by Tory Burch. The ivory one does not appear to be available anymore, but here it is in a soft lilac. De-lovely.

Hope – Flutter Sleeve Dress (4.20.12)

And boom, down for the count. Poor Hope. What was supposed to be a fun night at Bikini Bar with Liam, ended up being a pill induced schnoozel on the couch. You could see her pretty sheer cap sleeves flutter and she fell into the pillow. She got all dressed up in her pretty date night dress and everything. Major bummer. So here is a version of this dress if you want it for your own date night. Remember, no pills, and only one glass of wine beforehand.

Steffy – Sheer Blue Top & Studded Boots (4.16.12)

Steffy coming to the rescue…for Hope? We aren’t surprised are we. Yeah she’s fierce but she is far from heartless. Marcus arrived there first to Miss damsel in distress, but not until we were able to catch glimpses of Steffy in her bright blue sheer top as she started making her way there. I like the simple tank underneath and I really like the pocketed wide leg pants she has on with this. And of course the studded boots (version below) is 100% Steffy. Looking good (standard). This looks like another Helmut Lang top, but I cannot find it anywhere yet. I’ll keep looking but here are some similar versions if you must have now:

Dr Barton – Bright Blouse (4.13.12)

Dr Barton is quickly becoming one of my favorite characters on the show. She always has this wtf is the matter with you people kind of look on her face, and a dry and to the point ‘that is not what I said’ kind of attitude. The bright blouse she is wearing mirrors her sunny disposition, I’m just kidding she’s awesome, and the blouse is too with it’s gorgeous color. I think it is a great style for all ages and can be worn with just about anything, and any jacket (like a great leather jacket). Here it is and similar versions.

Hope- Fringe Trim Jacket (4.13.12)

Hope has moved into happier times; out of her sadness therapy clothes and into her happy therapy outfit. Who doesn’t like a Chanel-esque style jacket with fringe piping? I like how the model below is wearing it with jeans, but Hope does a good job with the blue slim pants,white tank, classic pumps, and layers of long silver chains. I think Coco would be ok with this Hope look. Here is her jacket:

Amber – Crochet Dress (4.13.12)

This can’t possibly end well for Amber. She sells a good story, but then dear oh dear her ill intended good deeds always come back to haunt her. Kind of like her outfit, the intention was kind of good but did it work out well? The crochet mini dress by Theory is so interesting and unique, but with the black tights and short boots, and purse? Maybe tights and a higher boot for fall with some great scarf, but for spring…why not just a fun bootie or a colored platform shoe….the jury is out with her combo. I love the dress though, here it is if you want to try it for yourself and a less expensive version

Taylor – Light Grey Blouse (4.11.12)

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:

Dayzee – Tie Dye Top (4.10.12)

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)

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:
