Liam – Black Cardigan (3.8)

Posted on by
No matter what your feelings are about Liam (I’m a fan), he totally deserves points today with how he handled ‘it’s not the end game’ conversation with Hope. He also deserves points for the simple crisp white shirt with the black cardigan he wore over it. He looks very handsome, and I like the departure from the leather jacket/ shirt look. Apart from button front, fitted structure and deep V it’s a bit tough to distinguish style details to be certain of the Real Deal, so here are some versions to consider. I think the All Saints one is the most stylish, but they are all nice styles:

Brooke – White Silk V Neck Tunic (3.8)

Posted on by

This is a great look for Brooke, she looks gorgeous. She has it tucked into some fitted pants, but it would also work un-tucked with the nice rounded hem. The dolman sleeves and loose fit are flattering for all body types, but the V neck adds a pretty touch of extra femininity. Beautifully made with the horizontal stitching on the back. You could wear any statement necklace, delicate necklace or a long necklace like Brooke is wearing here. Here is the Real Deal and some Real World versions:

Steffy – Arc necklace (3.2)

Posted on by

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)

Posted on by

 

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)

Posted on by

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:

Jackie – Pink Silk Blouse (2.29)

Posted on by

I think it’s only right that we post Jackie’s final outfit. From what I have ‘heard’ this was her last episode? Love her or hate her she brought a little sass to the screen, and always with some colorful attire, and very British mod. Here she is in a lollipop pink band collar blouse by Diane Von Furstenberg. At least she’s going out in style. Here it is and a less expensive version:

Hope – Plaid blouse (2.29)

Posted on by

 

Ok I have to say this is one of my fave Hope outfits. Yes it’s in keeping with her preppy chic image, but I absolutely adore how the stylists mixed in a casual plaid blouse, with a plaid business suit. They pulled in the faint red plaid of the suit and tied into the obvious red plaid of the blouse. Throw on her trademark long necklace and it is such a fashion forward outfit. Yeah, so many of the uber fashionistas keep talking about ‘be bold, mix patterns’ right? Well I like how this is actually kind of the same principle but pattern on pattern, and I think that it totally works. Now I’m not crazy about the high waist of the pants on Hope, but I love the pattern choices. I was so over the plaid blouses when they first came out again not too long ago, but this has inspired me to maybe reconsider and try some creative ways to take a grunge casual look and make very fashion chic. Some options, and there are tons out there, but here are some affordable ones:

Brooke – Brown satin dress (2.29)

Posted on by

Brown silk satin, by DVF. Elegant. It is tough to wear silk satin unless you have on spanx for a good half of your body, but the draping of the dress is perfect to hide imperfections, and enhance the areas we gals usually want to enhance. Easy to wear day, night, cocktail, whatever. I wish Brookes up-do wasn’t a messy up-do, it’s distracting. I think a MadMen sleeker up-do would be a better fit with this look. In my opinion. She looks great no matter what.
