Hope – Ruffle Blouse (10.10.12)

I should teach this girl to play poker because she sure can keep a poker face. She held her own just fine confronting and bantering with Steffy, and her tough sarcasm was actually quite fun to watch. I’m also enjoying her fall wardrobe; her oxblood pants with this blood orange ruffle blouse. Why am I using so many blood descriptions? I don’t know maybe I’m foreshadowing things to come. Here are some similar options.

Hope – One Shoulder Ruffle Dress (9.13.12)

Look: Hope - One Shoulder Ruffle Dress (9.13.12)
She’s trying. The girl is really trying to look happy, while standing up at her mom’s wedding. She changed into her wedding frock, which is a very feminine dress with the front & back ruffles, and the one shoulder ruffle detail. Ruffles strategically placed like these one can be a girls best friend…giving cover to any trouble spots in a pretty way, especially if you partake in a few glasses of bubbly and hors d’oeuvres at a wedding you are attending. Or…if you have a perfect Hope-like body then the ruffles just look pretty. Here is The Real Deal (albeit in what looks like a different shade of blue), and another version with even more ruffle.

Brooke – Blue Pocketed Blouse (8.30.12)

Look: Brooke - Blue Pocketed Blouse (8.30.12)
At least someone got to change on this 3rd wedding attempt day. Did Brooke have time to get her hair done too, because this color looks stunning on her with her blond hair. What a great blouse. This is great transition piece to take you into fall. It has some totally fall on-trend elements; the bright cobalt blue, the military details (the shoulder epaulettes). And when it gets colder, thrown on a blazer, a leather jacket, or a long sweater with some lace up boots. Oh and raven haired gals will look just as amazing in this color. Thumbs up. Did I mention those grey tone pants still make this look summer appropriate? They do.

Steffy – Cut Out One Piece (8.14.12)

Look: Steffy - Cut Out One Piece (8.14.12)
Steffy kind of has that vampy Bardot look doesn’t she? I personally respect an adventurous gal who dresses and prepares for just about anything. Layer upon layer, from the club to the hotel to the pool. Good planning sista. I just wish my next day hangover look was anywhere close to being this sexy. I read a tweet from JMW today (8.15) that the suit is from Intermix, but it doesn’t seem to be available anymore. Here are a couple of suits to get the look:

Caroline – Ruched Dress (7.20.12)

Look: Caroline - Ruched Dress (7.20.12)
By request, you wanted to know where to buy the ruched dress Caroline wore to Dayzee’s wedding. The dress is by Etoile Isabel Marant and sorry to say it is no longer available. I found one new with tags on eBay though. I also found a kind of similar one with ruching and in a similar color family:

Linsey Godfrey (Caroline) – Cutout Dress 39th Daytime Emmys

We knew this girl could rock a bright yellow dress on B&B back in mid May. Remember this yellow & cobalt outfit? She’s taking it a step further at the Emmys with this sexy cut out gown by BCBG Max Azria. This picture came from a tweet from Linsey, I think that’s her man. She (and they) look great. I like the neutral accessories.
