Steffy – Contrast Collar Blazer (3.12)

Steffy is looking very trendy in her Black & White contrast collar blazer, printed top and drop tusk earrings. The fitted black pants look great, but I am a bit surprised by the over-sized white shoulder bag. The more I think about it, the more I think I like it vs an expected over-sized contrast clutch. I wouldn’t hate seeing a gold tone clutch or pop of color. Anyhow, Steffy rarely looks bad with any combo of clothing and accessories and this look is no exception and definitely right up her alley. The blazer is the centerpiece and I absolutely love it. The Real Deal looks like a 2011 Zara blazer, (only color options available on ebay), or Ann Harvey from last year (sold out sorry). Stella McCartney really jump started this style of blazer last year, and now this spring we have seen Gucci, Helmut Lang, Balmain, who all came out with their own OMG versions. Here are some Real World versions for this year that we could consider. Zara has another version for this year that is reasonably priced.

Steffy – Arc necklace (3.2)

This silver arc necklace is just enough to work with the off the shoulder asymmetry of Steffy’s top. The solid arc is a little broader than most arc necklaces you see with a pretty chain covering the other two-thirds of this necklace, complete with Tiffany’s style toggle clasp. Where is the ‘Real Deal’??? Still working on finding the original, here are some options in the meantime:

Update 3.9. The necklace is by Helmut Lang and available through their LA store. Click for Helmut Lang Store listing

Steffy – Off Shoulder Top (3.6)

 

Steffy wore this top 2 of 3 ways that we saw these past few episodes. She wore one shoulder off, full sleeves down, then both shoulders down and sleeves scrunched up. It is tunic length so almost mistaken as a dress given she was wearing black on black. I love the simple black on black though, it was a great sleek look. The chunky shoes and simple but edgy jewelry perfect the look (The third way of wearing this top is not wearing it off the shoulder at all, obviously)

*Request* Steffy – Long Blazer (2.9)

Early in February Steffy was wearing this long tuxedo jacket over a coral jean, and wearing her bullet necklace. The distinguishing features of the blazer include a long, single breasted slim fit.The length of blazer is past hip length. The fabric is brushed to sheen. The lapel is long and slim. There is a slightly curved hemline. (pardon the second image but I wanted to show length). There are a number of long black blazers on the market, here are a few that resemble this look:

Steffy – FEATHER Necklace (Feb 15)

Update 3.2: Thanks to one of our lovely readers for pointing me in the right direction, that this leaf necklace is actually a feather! And it is by Chan-Luu. Thank you, one mystery solved! And hey since we waited long enough it is on sale now.

What a pretty long beaded leaf necklace. This pulls the plaid shorts suit with black tank together nicely. The necklace would look just as pretty on a white tank and long skirt, or jeans. It’s a little less harsh than the bullet dangler no?

Steffy- Fringe Sweater (Feb 6)

(Update 3.8) While researching some other outfits I came across the original of this sweater by french designer Isabel Marant
http://www.isabelmarant.tm.fr/collections-fw1112.php

The sweater is no longer available, but the spring line looks actually very interesting so hopefully we will see Steffy in some of her designs.

I can’t make this blog all about me and what I like, because if I did this ‘hideous sweater award recipient’ would never make the cut. It is unusual though and I’m sure people would like to know where to buy it. Steffy looks very sad here, some say it’s because of her breakup with Liam, I think it’s because of her sweater.

Speaking of sad, I am sad to report I searched for hours, literally hours trying to find this beauty, with no luck. Maybe it’s a sample that never made it to production. However…I do like the nordic or native large scale print over the bulk knit. I’ll be honest though, I hate the fringe. It may work for some though, so maybe you can embellish it yourself with a Sunday craft project on one of these real world options. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
