Steffy – Eyelet Top (Italy)

Posted on by
I want to go to Southern Italy! I want to go to Southern Italy! And I want to wear an off the shoulder eyelet top like this. And ride a scooter. And drink wine. And get a great tan and wear this top (but not a cropped one for me) and with a neon belt like Steffy.  Here are a few options to get the look:

*Request* Steffy – Lace Dress (Italy)

Posted on by
What a simple, yet gorgeous look. Here’s the deal though, I am working off of photos released from the filming, so I can’t quite tell exactly what I’m looking for here. At first glance, it looks like an antique lace overlay dress. At second and closer look it looks like a lace overlay maxi skirt, with a white tank and tan belt. It really does. I don’t know if this outfit will be airing so I can get a better look, so the best I can do for now is to give you a couple options for skirts so you can make the look yourself. I found one similar dress.

Caroline – Bright Yellow Dress (5.14.12)

Posted on by
How many people can wear this color and look gorgeous? Well Caroline is one of them. She does a little color blocking with the wide cobalt belt and cuff bracelet, then balances with a nude shoe. Smart. Otherwise 1985 would be staring us in the face.  Instead she has a pulled together and modern look. She may have the tiniest waist in LA too. Here are some versions if you are feeling brave:

Steffy – Chiffon Halter (5.11.12)

Posted on by
I shouldn’t ever harsh on Caroline for office appropriate garb because this one has Friday night cocktail-ing written all over it. Chiffon halter with leather pants, I mean c’mon…Steffy looks glam, sexy and cool. I’ll be honest the only criticism I could possibly make is that makeup just got too excited with the eyes here. I cannot find the Real Deal (and I would like to say ‘yet’), and trust me I looked, because I want this halter. The back black sheer paneling makes it. So if you by any chance find it before I do, let me know and I’ll be sure to give you credit. In the meantime, here are some similar Real World versions.

Allison – Cobalt Blouse (5.11.12)

Posted on by
Allison is a hoot, she gives it right back to Bill. Her character is certainly developing some great sarcasm chops. I’m also happy to see wardrobe putting her in some bright colors. Looks how in-sane this color looks with her blond hair. This looks great with her black pants, or try a pencil skirt, or color block with some colored skinny jeans. Nice. Real Deal and Real World versions:

Brooke – Tweed Suit (5.11.12)

Posted on by
Elegant up top, party down below. This is what I would call an oxymoron of a dress suit, and I think it rocks. What I love about it is that young gals can wear it and still look young and sassy yet sophisticated, and more seasoned gals can still look sophisticated but still show their sass. Make sense? The dress with the jacket is anywhere appropriate, then get a happy hour cocktail or 5 and take that jacket off and show off your fringe party dress. And perfectly appropriate for Brooke I might add. The Real Deal by Theyskens’ Theory (sold separately).

Hope – Polka Dot Skirt (5.11.12)

Posted on by
Again, I nearly fell our of my chair when I saw Hope wearing black, and for a second day in a row. But then I realized the color was navy. But I laughed when the camera panned down to her polka dot skirt. I’m not laughing at the outfit ( it’s cute), I was laughing because of the last post I just made commenting on her wearing of polka dots. I hope you aren’t in love with the skirt because it is sold out. May be worth checking back or on ebay. Some similar versions out there though to get the look. I thought the simple fitted T worked, and so did the orange purse (not shown obv):

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:

Available at Pixie Market: $209
