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:

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):

Steffy – Knit Dress (4.2.12)

Posted on by
Welcome back Steffy! We missed your sass and style. Hey remind me, if I ever want to grow a quick 6 inches of hair to just head out to Aspen for a few days. Must be something in the air. Anyhow, Steffy rolls in to catch Liam reminiscing about the good ‘ole days, and you have to be darn sure to look rockin’ for that first run in. Nice work. The dress itself is a long sleeve, boat neck knit dress, with a tie drop waist. It’s a mini, but the dress isn’t super fitted so it looks classy, and the long sleeves and boat neckline keep the focus on only one exposed body part. The kick-butt booties are the perfect combo. Nice accessorizing with the long necklace and hot pink clutch. Sorry, the dress is by BOSS and isn’t available anymore, but here are some similar looks:

Caroline Spencer – Blue Draped Dress (3.28)

Posted on by
And underneath the python trench Carolyn is wearing a sleeveless bright blue midi dress. To her job interview. It is LA after all, so why not.

I think the dress works on her very lean frame. There’s a lot of draping there in the front so you have to be careful wearing a dress like this. Here’s a fairly close version of the dress if you want to see for yourself:

Amber – Striped top (3.28)

Posted on by
So first of all I think Amber’s new hair is such a good look for her with the bangs. I think she looks fantastic.
Interesting top she was wearing last week. The extra long fitted striped top with the jeans and boots is a good look. Do you like the back of the top with the criss-cross banding? A little sexy, edgy cool, or too much? I love the extra long length of the top and the sleeves. Here it is by Bailey 44:

Caroline Spencer- Python Trench (3.28)

Posted on by
I just can’t help it, I can’t look at Carolyn without thinking she is Allysa Milano’s little sister, they look so much alike.
Must be nice traveling in a private jet to go to a job interview. I would probably be wearing something a little more conservative but hey if the sexy blue dress and python trench gives the right impression then all the power to her. I love how Amber says to Rick that Carolyn is rollin’ in ‘all NYC fashion-like’ and all. Not sure that would be how I would describe it, but hey, it’s been a couple years since I’ve been to the city. Either way Rachel Zoe says python is the ‘it’ print for spring, so I guess it is. Here’s a version of the trench, I can’t be 100% sure it’s the exact one, but it is definitely python print (and it’s on sale):

Dayzee – Floral & Lace (3.26) *25th Anniversary party*

Posted on by
Dayzee just gets prettier and prettier and I approve of her recent engagement to Marcus. So here she is at the party with her fiance wearing an interesting floral dress with a whole lot going on (at the party and the dress). I think she is the only character with the beauty and confidence to pull this party dress off. This by the way satisfies another one of my ‘Spring trends’ predictions, putting Dayzee in floral.

So the dress. I am still looking for the Real Deal, but what struck me most about this kind of bohemian/gypsy/doily dress was that it shares many of the design and pattern elements from the Proenza Schouler Spring 2012 collection. The larger scale floral, the mix of patterns and colors. The tiered skirt and hemline. The piping, trim and detailing. Screams Proenza Schouler like this. Here are some Real World versions if you must have this look:

Available at ShopBop.com: Thayer maxi dress, $385

Available at Kohl’s: Lauren Conrad hi-low maxi, $72, $50.40

Pam – Multi-color dress (3.26) *25th Anniversary Party*

Posted on by
There is an explosion of color at the party and it’s on Pam’s dress! The dress by Milly itself, which is a sleeveless sheath, I think would look stylish and fun without the purple cardi, and the pearls. I know, I know the pearls are in keeping with her character. But she could have lost the cardigan and look feminine and festive instead of dowdy. Here’s the Real Deal, as well as a Real World option:

Hope – Pink Tulip Dress (3.26) *25th Anniversary Party*

Posted on by
In keeping in her ‘Pretty in Pink’ preppy character, Hope is wearing a pretty pink frock to the anniversary party. The fabric looks to be like a cotton tweed look, or a textured satin, making it a little more party vs solid pink prom. The fitted bodice is great design, but I’m not sure I like the full tulip skirt. Props for the bright pink clutch and simple bracelet accessory. Here are some similar versions:

Available at ASOS: Pink Tulip dress, $80.57

Available at Madewell: $168

Available at J Crew: $250, $69.99

*Request* Alison – Navy Wrap Dress (3.23)

Posted on by
Nice navy wrap dress on Alison with kimono style sleeves. She breezes in and out of the office so quickly it seems, that it’s nice to see her wearing outfits with drape and texture that catch a flutter in the wind. This dress is generally a universally flattering style on all body types and a good length and sleeve length for all ages. I actually love the color, and think it is a great year round dress as well as a day to night type dress. This dress is by Diane Von Furstenberg (Aiko dress) and sorry, sold out, but here are some others that are quite similar:
