Revenge “Ashes” Recap

October 22, 2014 by DetroitDuchess 6 Comments

Jack (Nick Wechsler) saves the day and rescues Emily (Emily VanCamp) from the fire. I wasn’t that excited about the fashion this week, but there was a lot of drama packed into this episode!

Victoria (Madeline Stowe) emerges from the abyss and tries to find a way to get some money. On her journey, she runs into Daniel (Josh Bowman) who tells her off and then Louise (Elena Satine) from Clairmont hunts her down for a very odd reunion. Louise wears a sexy green dress that looks like it could be Gucci. I found a few alternatives to recreate the look. The first is Tart’s infinity stretch-modal convertible dress ($114.40) and the second is this Amanda Uprichard Malibu Dress ($86.99):

Jack decides to confront Emily about what really caused the fire and is desperate to find out why Charlotte (Christa B. Allen) is involved. Emily still wants to defend Charlotte, but Jack wants to turn her in. Emily wore a Vince blouse ($98) that you can find here or here and Arte Designs Green Amethyst Earrings ($85). This Vince Camuto Center Pleat Sleeveless Blouse ($69) is similar:

Victoria finds Charlotte and reveals that David (James Tupper) is alive and brings her to meet him. They have a touching reunion until Victoria starts twisting it into part of her Emily revenge scheme. Emily pays them a visit, but Victoria greets her with a shotgun. She is terrified that Emily will see that David is alive. Emily knows that Victoria is up to something, but she can’t put her finger on it yet.

Jack visits Emily and reminds her of their former friendship. This is the only time you see a touch of the real Emily/Amanda. Emily wore her Vince Thermal Zip Front Hoodie ($395) again. This Paperwhite Open Knit Cardigan Sweater ($39.95) is similar:

Jack decides that he is not going to reconstruct the stowaway and spend more time with his family. It was at that moment I thought maybe he could reach Emily.

Victoria reaches out to Margaux (Karine Vanasse) who gives her a “loan” which will help get her back on her feet.

David pays Emily a visit in the middle of the night to presumably kill her, but Nolan (Gabriel Mann) interrupts him before he can make a big mistake.

What did you think of the this week’s episode? When is Emily going to figure out that her father is alive?!

Posh Picks: Jenna Kator South Haven

October 22, 2014 by DetroitDuchess 9 Comments

Disclosure: I received my own Jenna Kator South Haven Wristlet for the purposes of this review. All opinions are 100% mine.

I mentioned back in May that new blog series were coming and this is my next reveal! One of my friends, Melissa Malesky, has a fabulous local boutique called Posh. Melissa and I went to college together and were both in sororities, her husband is in my husband’s fraternity and she has the cutest little family. We both studied communications and who would have thought she would end up owning and operating her own boutique!

Melissa has taken Posh online, so now everyone can shop there! In honor of Posh’s website launch Melissa and I put our heads together and wanted to start a new series we are calling Posh Picks.

Every month, I am going to go shopping at Posh and pick out something fabulous to share with you. Then Melissa will offer a special discount for Detroit Duchess readers on the item. Sounds easy, right?

My first Posh Pick is an item from the Jenna Kator collection. If you aren’t familiar with Jenna, she is a local Michigan designer who started her own handbag line in 2008. Her goal was to allow women to be fashionable at affordable price points. All of her handbags have fun Michigan names and are made from animal friendly vegan leather. PETA has even named the Jenna Kator Collection as an approved vegan company.

I chose the South Haven Wristlet because I had a ton of fun outdoor events coming up like tailgating, apple orchard visits and beer festivals where I didn’t want to lug around a big bag. I have also found myself bringing this wristlet to my yoga class every night as its perfect to grab and go.

This wristlet is named after a harbor town off the coast of Lake Michigan. It is known as a one-of-a-kind beachtown with endless stretches of white sand beaches.

I chose the plum color because it is hot for fall, but the South Haven comes in rust, black, olive, plum, rustic tan, and dark aqua.

You can normally purchase the South Haven for $26, but Detroit Duchess readers are getting 10% off until November 3! You can purchase the South Haven here and at check out you can use the code: Duchess10.

I would love to hear what you think about this new series and what items you would like to see me showcase next.

The Good Wife “Oppo Research” Recap

October 17, 2014 by DetroitDuchess Leave a Comment

This episode begins with Alicia (Julianna Marguilles) getting ready for guests, specifically Eli (Alan Cumming) and her new campaign manager, Johnny Elfman (Steven Pasquale). They are sitting down to talk about oppo research, specifically all of the dirty little secrets in Alicia’s closet. She wore a Jason Wu Tie Bar Blouse ($995). This Ann Taylor Legacy Blouse ($119) is similar:

These scenes are hilarious, especially with Grace’s (Mackenzie Vega) choir group in the background. Diane (Christine Baranski) and Cary (Matt Czuchry) call her with more Lemond Bishop drama. Diane’s dress in this scene is incredible. It is a white dress with a lace applique. I found this Ali Ro White And Black Stretch Cotton Lace Detail Dress ($168.99) to recreate her look:

Next, Eli reveals that Zack got an abortion with his girlfriend last year, which was a horrible way to tell her. They also reveal pretty awful things about her mother and brother. There were a lot of bombs dropped in this episode! Alicia takes it all in stride, but first she has to fire Lemond Bishop (Mike Colter) as a client. He doesn’t take it very well. Alicia wears an Escada Checkerboard Jacquard Jacket ($1295). This Isaac Mizrahi Live! Jacquard Floral Knit Blazer ($62.48) is similar:

In order to run for State’s Attorney, a few things need to be fixed. First, Peter (Chris Noth) has to fire his sexy young intern, second, Alicia has to confront her family members and in the case of her mother blackmail a woman and thirdly, dispute her new alcohol problem. Never a dull moment…

At the end of the episode, we find out that Lemond Bishop started a PAC for Alicia and is using his drug money to fund it…I don’t see that being a problem, do you? Note the sarcasm…It should be an interesting few weeks waiting to see how this will end.

What did you think about this episode?

Scandal “Inside the Bubble” Recap

October 16, 2014 by DetroitDuchess 6 Comments

This week’s episode of Scandal kicks off with a breaking news story of the “Killer Cliff Bride.” It’s interesting how this story gets woven throughout the whole episode. The White House staff first watches the story, including Abby (Darby Stanchfield) who wears an L.K. Bennett Lander Fitted Seamed Dress (sold out). I loved this Studio Tahari-Levine Co. Pleated Sheath Dress ($79.99) as a great alternative look:

Mellie (Bellamy Young) takes a personal interest in the story – she can relate. She wore a Theory Trincy Cardigan in Evian Space ($345). This H&M Wool Blend Cardigan ($34.95) is similar:

Olivia (Kerry Washington) is trying to build a new relationship with her father and starts by dropping by his house. She wears her Armani Collezioni Roll-Neck Boucle Coat (sold out) and carries her marble Prada Saffiano Cuir Tote (sold out). To get this look for less, try this BB Dakota Dillane Coat ($85) and the Michael Kors Jet Set Travel Saffiano Leather Tote ($268):

Pope & Associates takes on a new case for an old law school friend, Catherine Winslow (Sonya Walger). Her stepdaughter goes missing and Olivia is on the case. She looks softer in an Armani blouse and a Donna Karan Collection Drape Front Cashmere Cozy (sold out). This is a great opportunity to look to The Limited’s Scandal Collection with this Ruffle Front Blouse ($49.95) and Shawl Collar Lounge Cardigan ($59.95):

As with most clients, they don’t always tell the whole truth. Huck (Guillermo Diaz) finds a sex tape featuring Catherine and her step-daughter’s boyfriend. Huck wakes Olivia up in the middle of the night so we get a good look at her La Perla pajamas (Top $420, Pants $310). These Victoria’s Secret Afterhours Satin Pajamas ($69.50) are similar:

Things get nuclear when the step-daughter is murdered and Olivia thinks that Catherine did it. Abby comes to see her and find out what’s going on, but Olivia won’t tell her anything. Olivia wears a Giorgio Armani Zipped Knit Jacket ($1990.07). This Tahari Quilted Zip Front Jacket ($90.29) is a great look for less:

Mellie has gone overboard with the killer cliff bride story and has assembled her own meeting with the top experts in Washington, much to Abby’s chagrin. Nobody will listen to her objections about how Mellie may have gotten a little carried away. Abby wears a Sportmax Chantal fitted dress ($690.41). I liked this Land’s End Women’s Sleeveless Pattern Woven Wear To Work Sheath Dress ($99) for a similar look for less:

A few highlights from this episode included, Jake (Scott Foley) and Olivia’s awkward dinner with Command, Abby coming into her own and finally making Fitz (Tony Goldwyn) learn her name, Cyrus (Jeff Perry) comprimising his integrity to get some action, Quinn (Katie Lowes) finally calling out OPA for not caring about what happens to her, and Catherine getting arrested for killing her stepdaughter.

Fashion in Detroit Recap

October 16, 2014 by DetroitDuchess Leave a Comment

Disclosure: I received complimentary tickets to Fashion in Detroit. All opinions expressed are my own.

I recently attended Fashion in Detroit and had a blast! I feel like the Detroit fashion scene is staging a comeback and I am so excited to be experiencing it as a blogger.

I arrived at the event just in time for the Somerset Collection runway show, which had awesome clothing from Kate Spade, LK Bennett, Anne Fontaine, Eileen Fisher, Intermix, Max Mara, St. John, Halston Heritage, and Neiman Marcus. Unfortunately, I wasn’t located in a place where I could get runway pictures, the white stage was making all the photos too bright, so I have to use the talented Scott Legato’s photos which you can get here. Here are some of my favorites from the first collection:

Next up we had the House Ikhonic, Galore Groupe, Fotoula Lambros, 4 Men, Cheryl Zemke, Bricker Tunis Furs, Lyudviga Couture, Kevin Christiana for Adam Levine Collection, Trybe, Peter Soronen, Dodge by Joe Faris, and Joe Faris Detroit.

I had no idea how much I would love Peter Soronen. I wasn’t very familiar with Soronen prior to this, but you may have seen some of his glamorous evening wear on the first lady, Michelle Obama. He is known for his corset style dresses, which are gorgeous!

I also got to spend some time catching up with Shannon Lazovski from Glamorous Moms:

When I got home, I was able to check out the gift bag, which was great!

Which looks were your favorites?

Revenge “Disclosure” Recap

October 10, 2014 by DetroitDuchess Leave a Comment

Victoria (Madeline Stowe) and David Clarke (James Tupper) had a touching reunion, that is until he strangled her and transported her to an unknown location. So far, David remains a mystery.

Emily (Emily VanCamp) is in her element again, erasing an trace of Victoria’s stay at the mental institution and convincing Nolan (Gabriel Mann) to help track her down. She wears a Stella McCartney Long Blazer (sold out), the Isaac Silk Tank Top by Theory ($235), Arte Designs Infinity Labradorite Earrings ($68), Ippolita Quartz-Station Necklace ($795) and the Manolo Blahnik BB Patent Nude Pump ($595):

To recreate this look I found this Mural Slouchy Boyfriend Blazer ($74), Soft Chiffon Tank from Forever 21 ($7.80), Kate Spade Opening Night Station Necklace ($128) and this Steve Madden Insaniti Half d’Orsay Pump ($99.95):

After Nolan’s tip to Margaux (Karine Vanasse), she and Daniel (Josh Bowman) have been scheming to get Gideon (Daniel Zovatto) away from Charlotte (Christa B. Allen). Margaux wore a Rag & Bone Franklin Cutout-Yoke Crepe Top ($96) with a green skirt. This T. Tahari Lila Blouse ($37.80) is similar:

They may not need to worry after Charlotte discovers that Gideon is just using her and laughing at her behind her back. She wore a Haute Hippie Ruffle Front Crossover Dress ($386). This Felicity & Coco Ruffled Faux Wrap Maxi Dress ($46.80) is similar:

This was the last straw for Charlotte, who decides she is going to jump off a building until Jack’s (Nick Wechsler) new partner saves her. You get a good glimpse of her Gianvito Rossi Suede Lace Up Sandals ($1,100). These Aldo Cezarine pumps ($79.98) are similar:

Jack takes Charlotte to Emily’s house so she can finally reveal her true identity. Charlotte’s cardigan is the Layla Pointelle Wrap from BCBGMaxAzria ($93.80). This Textured Stripe Open Knit Cocoon Duster Cardigan from Charlotte Russe ($25.99) is similar:

This doesn’t seem to make a difference to Charlotte – it just angers her further. Emily wore a Vince Thermal Zip Front Hoodie ($395). This Paperwhite Open Knit Cardigan Sweater ($39.95) is similar:

She decides to kill Emily by hitting her in the head with a fire extinguisher and setting the stowaway on fire. Be careful what you wish for Emily…

Margaux and Daniel successfully remove Gideon from the business which I didn’t feel too bad about because he was a drug addict and a jerk.

What did you think of the this week’s episode? Will Emily make it out alive?

The Good Wife “Dear God” Recap

October 6, 2014 by DetroitDuchess 2 Comments

The scenes with Cary’s (Matt Czuchry) pre-trial services officer were hilarious. It is sort of funny to see all the lawyers on the other side of the table. One of the conditions of his bond was to inform all of his clients of the current situation. A few clients left, but one stayed. Alicia (Julianna Marguilles) and their new associate, Dean (Taye Diggs) will argue in court on Cary’s behalf.

Alicia wore a Wool Stretch Tweed Jacket by Akris ($3,590) on the first day of court. This Ann Taylor Tweed One Button Jacket ($144.99) is similar:

Alicia and Cary’s client doesn’t like the bickering and fighting in court, so he decides to take his case to a Christian mediation. Who knew there was such a thing? But first Alicia has to take a spin with Cary’s pre-trial services officer. She is oddly hostile towards Alicia, so I’m not sure what was going on there. Alicia wore the Essa Tweed Zip Jacket by Lafayette 148 (sold out). This Kasper Sparkle Tweed Jacket ($47.60) is a great match:

The Matthew Process (aka Christian mediation) is not what the team expected and Alicia has to brainstorm with Grace (MacKenzie Vega) to figure out her next move. At home Alicia lounges in a Vince Thermal Zip Front Hoodie ($395). This Paperwhite Open Knit Cardigan Sweater ($39.95) is similar:

In Cary’s case, the State’s Attorney’s confidential informant was killed and the ASA reveals that Kalinda (Archie Panjabi) may have played a role in letting Lemond Bishop know who he was. Diane (Christine Baranski) wore a blue dress and one of her signature chain link necklaces. To get her look I found this Ann Taylor Side Zip Long Sleeve Dress ($129.99) and this Kenneth Jay Lane Oversize Silver Curb Chain Necklace ($155):

As Alicia rides the elevator with Dean, you get a peak at the top of her Muska Lizard Large Vanna Bag by Muska Milano ($450). This Nine West Modern Proportions Tote Large Shoulder Handbag ($30.58) is similar:

Alicia’s “campaign” is getting out of control and she isn’t even running…until she meets Gloria Steinem at an event for Peter. That was such an amazing moment and you can see that is the moment where she seriously starts to consider it. She looks stunning in an Akris Shimmery Jacquard Short Jacket and Pleat-Detail Dress ($6,580). That is obviously out of my price range so I found this Jacquard Suit from Midnight Velvet ($119.95) that has the same shimmer to it:

Diane is up next with the pre-trial services officer and wears an Armani Collection Tweed Blazer ($576) with her vintage dragonfly pin. To recreate the look I used this Women’s Fringe Textured Jacket ($129) from Land’s End. I had fun searching eBay for vintage dragonfly pins and I liked this one for $22.50 for Diane’s look, but there are a ton!

In the end, Cary’s pre-trial services officer came through for him and he was able to stay out of jail on bail. What was interesting to see was how Alicia has been moving the business forward without him. We get the sense that he isn’t really on board with all of the changes.

Alicia’s final conversation with Castro (Michael Cerveris) was chilling. I think this is what really pushed her over the edge to run. This guy is a real piece of work. I love how Alicia is so calm in these situations. She lets her anger fuel her to success.

I cannot wait to see what happens next, this season is sure shaping up to be a good one!

Scandal “The State of the Union” Recap

October 6, 2014 by DetroitDuchess Leave a Comment

This episode kicks off with Jake (Scott Foley) and Olivia (Kerry Washington) discussing booty calls, but before they can finish the conversation, she gets a political booty call from Cyrus (Jeff Perry). Cyrus blackmails Olivia into taking on a new case. Her running attire is classic with a Criss-Cross Hope Jacket from Athleta ($118) and Run: Inspire Crop II from Lululemon ($86).

This week, Olivia is trying to bring together a couple who hates each other. Unfortunately, they are the face of gun control that the president needs at his State of the Union address. She is dressed to handle a challenge in a white Double Breasted Jacket by Giorgio Armani (not available online) with a white Prada Saffiano Cuir Tote ($2,950). The Limited’s Scandal Collection has given us this Double Breasted Jacket ($168) to recreate this look. I liked this Michael Kors Jet Set Travel Saffiano Leather Tote ($298) to replicate her handbag:

The couple’s fighting escalates and Olivia finally convinces them to get a divorce and make this appearance at the State of the Union their last one. She looks powerful in The Limited Tweed Peplum Jacket ($168) and her marble Prada Saffiano Cuir Tote ($2,950). The Michael Kors Jet Set Travel Saffiano Leather Tote ($298) comes in grey which is another perfect look for less:

I loved Mellie’s (Bellamy Young) dynamic with everyone this week. With Fitz (Tony Goldwyn) and the fried chicken and then Abby (Darby Stanchfield) giving her a pep talk. Fitz’s speech was chilling and amazing and him and Mellie were great. I wonder if they will ever get back together…Her dress was red and powerful for the State of the Union. I found this ASOS Wrap Pencil Dress In Crepe ($66.33) to recreate it:

Olivia finally gives in to a booty call with Jake and wears some very sexy boots which are the Valentino RockStud Boots (sold out). I found these Charlotte Russe Over-the-Knee Belted Chunky Heel Riding Boots ($46.99) if you want to get some sexy boots of your own:

Cyrus is heading down a slippery slope with his new “friend.” He made the right decision for now, but we will see where he ends up.

The Limited Collection Inspired by Scandal

October 6, 2014 by DetroitDuchess 1 Comment

As far as special collections go, The Limited’s partnership with Scandal and costume designer, Lyn Paolo was at the top of my list. I started covering Scandal on the blog last year and have spent countless hours trying to find Olivia’s looks for less and here The Limited has gone and made my job easier.

Revenge “Renaissance” Recap

October 5, 2014 by DetroitDuchess Leave a Comment

I couldn’t wait for Revenge to start this season. I love how dramatic everything is down to the last detail. Especially the costumes, it really just ups the drama. As the episode opens we see Emily (Emily VanCamp) take her place as queen of the Hamptons, while Victoria (Madeline Stowe) is relegated to a psychiatric hospital. Emily’s sweeping white dress is the Jaelyn Crossover-Top Cutout Gown by Alice + Olivia ($193.60) or here for $485. This ASOS Pleated Cross Front Maxi ($85.28) is a perfect match:

Nolan (Gabriel Mann) and Emily are gearing up for a Memorial Day weekend party, their first at the manor. Nolan is asking the same question the rest of us are…what will Emily do next? Emily looks Hamptons chic with a Rag & Bone The Simple Tank (sold-out), Vince Rolled Boyfriend Pants ($195), Manolo Blahnik BB Pointy Toe Pump ($595) and Stella & Dot Aria Pendant Necklace ($98).

To recreate this look, I decided on this DKNYC Lightweight Jersey Sleeveless Top w/ Diagonal Chiffon Overlay ($26.99), Jones New York Signature Cropped Capri Pants ($36.99), and these Badgley Mischka Women’s Kat Dress Pumps ($78.82):

Later on in the city, Emily gets in a little fender bender with someone in town, who we will eventually come to know as Nancy (Alicia Lagano). In town, Emily throws on a Boy by Band of Outsiders Blazer (sold out). This Banana Republic Navy Lightweight Wool Two-Button Suit Blazer ($198) is similar:

At the Memorial Day party, Emily and Nolan are christening a new boat for one of the Hampton’s elite couples. As they discuss the event, Emily wears a Parker Cosmopolitan Strapless Bustier Maxi Dress (sold out). This Amanda Uprichard Mimosa Strapless Pleated Maxi Dress ($92) is a great match:

You can get a good look in this shot of Emily’s Vince Multi-Bar Hinge Bracelet ($68):

Jack (Nick Wechsler) visits Emily after Charlotte (Christa B. Allen) scares him by picking little Carl up from daycare. Emily reassures him that the reason she stayed in the Hamptons was to make amends with Charlotte. Emily stays casual at home with this Joie Nasa B Tee ($55.20). Since that is almost sold out, this Lucky Brand Women’s Embroidered Tee ($14.85) is similar:

With that lead in, we check in on Charlotte and Daniel (Josh Bowman) and learn that they think Victoria has abandoned them. Emily must be sending them postcards from random places. They have no idea she’s been locked away in an institution. Charlotte wears a Muscle Dress from Haute Hippie ($325). I liked this LAmade Tie Dye Maxi Dress ($44.99) for a look for less:

Emily is taking in the view in Victoria’s old spot, when she sees something moving in her old beach house. It doesn’t seem like she’s been back there since Aiden was murdered. She wears an awesome Dip Dye wool-cashmere sweater by Vince ($328). This Victoria’s Secret Ombre Sweater ($39.99) is similar:

Emily’s party kicks off and is full of drama. Jack brings his new partner with him to the partner and they immediately stumble upon Charlotte doing coke. Jack’s partner wants to arrest her, but Jack convinces him to give her a pass because she’s in a bad place. Charlotte wore a Valentino Strapless Floral Lace Dress (sold out). The color is a little different, but I think this Gabriella Rocha Lorene Dress ($69) is a similar style:

Meanwhile, back at the looney bin, Victoria launches an elaborate escape. It seemed a little far fetched, I mean how far was she going to get on foot? In true Victoria form, she has found a way to look fabulous while doing it in an Escada Crossover Bodice Dress ($1050) and Carolee 40th Anniversary Legacy Collection Earrings ($32). I thought this NY Collection B-Slim Faux-Wrap Dress ($34.99) was a great match:

Back at the party, we learn what Emily is really up to. She can’t let go of revenge, even if its not for herself. At the party she wears a beautiful Carolina Herrera Floral Jacquard Full-Skirt Dress (sold out) and Tamara Mellon Heaven patent-leather pumps (sold out). This dress is such a show stopper that it took me a while to find a suitable alternative, but I found one with this ASOS Vintage Midi Bardot Dress ($161.08) and these Nine West Caress Round Toe High Heels ($79):

Nolan gives Margaux LeMarchal (Karine Vanasse) a tip about why Daniel left the magazine and she finds out that her brother Gideon (Daniel Zovatto) is blackmailing him for control of the company. She looks powerful in her new role as CEO in a yellow and black triangle print dress. I thought this Tiana B. Cap-Sleeve Two-Tone Belted Dress ($39.99) was a great match:

Instead of planning her next move, Victoria goes straight to the manor to confront Emily. As she is leaving, David Clarke (James Tupper) chloroforms her!!!

What did you think of the premiere? Will all of Emily’s carefully laid revenge plans go up in smoke?

If you missed the premiere of Revenge, you can still watch it here.
