Katie – Sheer Python Print Blouse (5.10.24)

Posted on by
I’m not used to seeing Katie flouncing around. She did, she kind of flitted and flounced around this episode, it was unusually awkward to watch, and quite out of character. She could have done cartwheels in Liam’s house for all I care, because she was owning her sheer python print blouse. Totally on trend this season, and it’s just kind of easy, breezy chic. Flit and flounce, easy, breezy, not exactly stellar writing on my part, but oh whatever, you get where I’m going. Here is the Real Deal and some less expensive versions.

Caroline – Striped Skirt (5.8.12)

Posted on by
Caroline is back at work and getting another eye-full from Rick and his feminine ways. Speaking of eye-fulls. Tight. Skirt. Yes I am a a fan of Herve Leger style bandage dresses, but I dunno. And Caroline has a rockin’ zero fat body. How about I compromise and say too tight for the office then? At least she is wearing with a loose blouse to offset, nice styling. The varying depth stripes is pretty cool too. Here it is and some less expensive versions:

Hope – Contrast Tunic Dress (5.7.12)

Posted on by
I can’t believe my eyes. Hope is wearing black. Not a floral on black, not a black polka dot…but a straight up black dress (ok with the ‘makes the dress’ white contrasting). No long necklaces or bangles, just a cool, simple tunic dress, with an undone feel to it, especially with the cuffs unbuttoned. I’m telling you Steffy fans will hate this dress, but Steffy could just as easily be wearing this and rock it. Mind you, Steffy would style with a wedge bootie vs a pump, but either way… here you go:

Steffy – Coral Skinny Jeans (5.7.12)

Posted on by
Didn’t I say last time if you want 6 more inches of hair, just go to Aspen? Well I kinda proved that theory correct again. Just kidding, I’m not knockin’ Steffy, she looks great with the long ombre hair. And I love this picture because I never make any Stephanie the matriarch posts, and she is probably my favorite character. I love it when she has scenes with her namesake granddaughter.

Actually I wanted to point out the pants. Steffy wore these back in February with the long black blazer. The point is they are a great on trend color, and versatile. You can also buy them just about anywhere and at various price points. I bought a cheapo pair this color and love them.

Brooke – Striped Tunic (5.7.12)

Posted on by
Brooke looks great in Vince, period. This striped tunic has a standup collar, and hidden buttons down the front, and I like how she takes this fairly basic piece and makes it much more office chic with the plum pencil skirt. Also a easy weekend piece like on the model below with skinny jeans, or cargos. Great blouse but I still have my eye on this white Vince tunic blouse she was wearing a few weeks ago.

Steffy – Apres Ski Boots (5.4.12)

Posted on by
Things are heating up in Aspen for Liam and Steffy! And I’m guessing her tootsies are toasty in these ready for the tundra boots. Stylish and functional. I’m serious, they are the Real Deal, Real Deal as far as winter boots go, by Sorel. I know it’s spring time, but you might want to snatch up a pair for next year. Oh yeah, and I remember reading this article on the The Zoe Report about these very same boots, not long ago. Rachel Zoe stamp of approval.

Available at Bloomingdales: Sorel Cate the Great boots, $200,$140

Allison – Tie Neck Blouse (5.1.12)

Posted on by
This real life Princess in character is one tough cookie, not putting up with Bill’s antics, while assertively expressing her own opinion. I like it. Allison also seems to gravitate towards the feminine blouse/ skirt ensembles, which I guess fits with her Exec Admin role. This is a unique yellow/gold color that looks amazing with her blond hair. I prefer this blouse to the more pale tones we have seen her in. Great on trend style like we saw on Taylor a few episodes ago. Here are some very similar versions by Rachel Zoe and a not much less expensive, but non-charmeuse version:

Available at Bergdorf Goodman: Rachel Zoe tie-neck blouse, $295

Bill – Purple Contrast Shirt (4.27.12)

Posted on by
Bill the power meddler. He likes things his way and he gets things his way. He’s stirring up an Aspen doozy right now with Hope/Liam/Steffy. But he’s looking mighty fine while he’s doing it! Bill definitely has a style you can count of. There’s a 99% chance you will see him wearing a shirt by the Tardieu brother’s design team of Boggose, based in Miami, FL. Bogosse means handsome; we agree. Bill’s shirt in this episode reflects the unique detailing you will find in all Bogosse designs: magenta contrast stitching, buttoned back collar, patterned inset collar…and the uber cool leather tabs at the cuffs. Bill’s purple shirt does not still appear to be available, but you can shop on the Bogosse site direct for the same style (below) and another similar version from Nordstrom.

Available at Bogosse: ‘Aramis’ shirt, $205

Available at Nordstrom: Bogosse ‘Aramis’ shirt, $198

Brooke – Color Blocked Dress (4.24.12)

Posted on by
Brooke must be tiny, do you see how short this is on the model below? It’s still short but not as short. The color blocking on the dress is a unique ‘shades of blue’ combo with the lighter shade on the bottom of the dress, and the bright blue on the top. The top with the v neck and dolman sleeves billow down to a sash belt  worn as a slight drop waist. It’s another pretty DVF number. I think this bright blue would look great on brunettes, but it looks gorgeous with Brooke’s blond hair.

Did you happen to notice the cool black cuff bracelet? Nice to see Brooke wearing something non-bling or metal for a change. Love the look.

Steffy – Black Leather Tee (4.23.12)

Posted on by
Steffy takes edgy urban chic the distance and always pulls it off. This black leather tee is just so super cool I can’t even talk about it. I think the simplicity is what makes it so special. Balanced with her ombre hair and the brown wrap leather bracelet (which I also just made an earlier post about here), it  is such a pulled together look. I know it isn’t a look for everyone, but if you want a fun, fashion forward piece that will last for seasons…maybe for years, this could be an option. Pretty sure I might melt in it though.. We’ve also got a faux leather version for the animal lovers and “diamond” hoop earrings to finish the look.
