Steffy – Leather Wrap Bracelet (4.23.12)

Posted on by
If you’ve been following the Soaps Style Facebook page, you know how much I love wrap bracelets, and I LOVE this brown leather wrap bracelet with the hardware clasp (you can’t see that in this pic). I love this even more with the choice of brown leather with the black leather top on Steffy. I found a bracelet that it very similar from Barney’s New York, and it has diamonds in the clasp…and it’s over $10,000. Gasp. Here are a few Real World versions that accomplish the same thing:

Available at Linea Pelle: $65

Hope – Polka Dot Blouse (4.23.12)

Posted on by
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!

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.

Caroline – Graphic Print Skirt (4.17.12)

Sorry. I couldn’t help myself cheesing it up a little and putting the Caroline/Rick impromptu photo-shoot pic up from today’s episode. Cute though no? We are starting to see common elements in Caroline’s style, and I like it. It is not as edgy as Steffy, and not as preppy as Hope, and not as provocative as Amber…but throw them all in a blender and Caroline’s style is what might emerge. It will be fun to watch her character develop, and of course to see what she wears.

Fun outfit with the high-low hemmed skirt with the modern graphic print. I’ll call this the ‘screensaver waterfall print’. The simple tank, the gold bar necklace, long earrings, and strappy shoes work fab. I wouldn’t mind seeing a short jacket with it, but anyhow. Her blow out works with this look too with the sharper lines of the outfit. Here is her skirt:

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:

Available at Nordstrom: T by Alexander Wang sheer jersey, $115

Available at Forever 21: $9.99

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

Brooke – Flower Bracelet (4.13.12)

I think Brooke’s agent in real life should get her a gig as muse/model for Hermes or Ralph Lauren. Tell me she doesn’t own this outfit with classic Ralph Lauren elements, combined with the look of a little Escada and then some Marc Jacobs whimsy with her bracelet. I couldn’t help but keep following the bracelet like a cat watching a moving toy. I think it’s just a clever bracelet to put on with an outfit where you would expect to see a large gold link or rope style bracelet to match her necklace (boring). I’m so glad the stylists went with this lovely instead. Here is the bracelet if you want to try it with your own wardrobe:
