5 on Friday: His Christmas Wish List

December 20, 2013 by Leave a Comment

It’s time for another edition of Five on Friday with A Liz Adventures, The Good Life Blog, Hello Happiness and Carolina Charm.

THE GOOD LIFE BLOG

Since I did my Christmas Wish List a few weeks back, I figured it was only fair that I did one for him. Most of these items would be great for those of you that haven’t shopped for your significant other yet.

1. Shinola Watch

If you aren’t from Michigan, you may not have heard about Shinola yet. Shinola decided to reignite watch manufacturing in the United States and they chose Detroit to launch their business. My husband and I think it is so cool to have such amazing watches made right here in Detroit. For those of you not in Detroit, you can buy Shinola watches at Nordstrom.  My husband really wants the 47mm one below:

2. Dollar Shave Club

So my husband recently joined the Dollar Shave Club. He heard about it from a friend and it is a cool concept. Dollar Shave Club is a subscription service that delivers high quality razors every month. You can get different packages for $1, $6 or $9 depending on your preference. You get 4-5 cartridges each month depending on the plan you choose. You can see the plans here. What a great deal! This basically means that you can use a new razor every week. Ladies you can even get this for yourself, they allow you to add on another person to your account if you would like to. Check out the video for more details:

3. Detroit Tigers Cuff Links

We actually got these for the groomsmen in our wedding party and I love to see the guys wearing them. John wore his to work today and they look really sharp. You can buy them here at Kohl’s. If you aren’t a Detroit fan, don’t worry, they have all of the other teams available too.

4. Personalized Watch Box

My husband loves watches as much as I love shoes. He has a nice collection going now, but could really use a place to keep everything. He’s mentioned getting a box like this for a while and I thought this one would look really nice on his nightstand.

5. Purifying Light Sanitizing Cutting Board System

My husband is a great chef and loves to cook. It’s sort of funny because whenever I try to make something, he is always poking around to see what I’m doing, he can’t help it, he just loves it. The big difference between us is that I have to follow a recipe and he can just make up his own as he goes. He loves gadgets like this and is really big into sanitizing all of the tools in the kitchen (I’m glad he is, because without him I would probably poison us all, lol). These cutting boards are awesome, they have different ones for each type of food and then they are sanitized by 20 minutes of exposure to a UV-C light.

What are you getting for your special guy?

White Collar “Ice Breaker” Recap

December 19, 2013 by Leave a Comment

This week on White Collar, the writers faked us out by arresting Neal (Matt Bomer). Turns out it was really an undercover FBI mission looking into forged passports. What’s clear is that Peter (Tim DeKay) is suspicious of Neal. He knows Neal is up to something but he can’t figure out what it is.

The forgery investigation leads them to Little Odessa, where they encounter Katya (Annet Mahendru), a very talented ice skater. In order to protect themselves, Neal tells her boyfriend that they are figure skating coaches and are interested in training with Katya. The charade works and they are able to get themselves close to the operation.

506_gallery_7Back at the office, Rebecca (Bridget Regan) , from the museum heist visits the FBI office hoping to get a letter from Peter stating her innocence. Apparently, she is having trouble getting a job and blames Neal. He diverts her from Peter and says he will meet with her at their other office with the real agent in charge.

In order to be a believable coach, Peter looks to Elizabeth (Tiffani Thiessen) for her help in getting him up to speed. Apparently, she is a closet ice skating fan, but has never skated before. Peter was supposed to teach her but never did. Elizabeth wears a teal blouse. I found this Spense Trimmed Woven Collar Top ($14.49) to recreate the look:

Screen Shot 2013-12-19 at 7.50.18 PM

Neal and Mozzie (Willie Garson) are up to something. They are creating a fake FBI office to meet with Rebecca in. The trick is that Neal will have to sneak out during the mission with Peter. He ends up convinces him to remove the anklet and sets up a drunk guy that Neal has to get out of the way. This allows him to sneak out while Peter is stuck on the mission for a while.

Neal and Mozzie meet with Rebecca and Mozzie posing as FBI agents. They recruit her into helping them decipher Chapter 13 of the Moscone Codex. Peter knows that Neal took off because he had Jones (Sharif Atkins) watching him. He tells Jones to look into what Neal was up to.

The next day, Elizabeth expresses her concern that Peter hasn’t gotten out of the field like he promised when he took the promotion. She is still pretty shook up about Agent Siegel’s murder. She wears a tan shift dress with a gold embellishment. I found a similar Tahari Studded Sheath Dress ($76.80) that gives you that same hint of gold embellishment:

Screen Shot 2013-12-19 at 8.15.43 PMMeanwhile the original forgery suspect was murdered, so Peter and Neal come up with an idea to bring all of the Russians together. They encourage Katya to accept Sergei’s proposal so they have a reason to celebrate. Things get tense when Sergei puts a knife to Katya’s throat to try to escape.

Peter ends up finding an FBI pen at the office building Neal and Mozzie used to meet Rebecca. He doesn’t know what is happening yet, but he knows it isn’t good. And in other news, Neal seems to really like Rebecca which could be a liability for both him and Mozzie.

At the end of the episode Peter finally takes Elizabeth ice skating. She wears a wine colored sweater. I found a White + Warren Cashmere Sweater ($164.98):

Screen Shot 2013-12-19 at 8.30.53 PM

This was a really sweet moment between the two of them.

What did you think about this week’s episode? Do you think Peter will catch Neal in the act?

The Perfect New Year’s Eve Party Outfit

December 19, 2013 by 10 Comments

Today I’m linking up with Samantha from The Ledford Life and Khala from The Birdie Bowl to create the perfect New Year’s Eve party outfit.

I am extra excited today, because I went to the podiatrist yesterday and he said that my foot is almost healed and that I can wear heels again on New Year’s! HOORAY!

I bought a dress earlier in the year for a Vegas trip that I didn’t end up wearing. Since then, I have been waiting for the perfect opportunity to wear it. I think New Year’s Eve is it! My NYE dress pick is Ralph Lauren’s One Shoulder Sequin Dress. I actually got this dress brand new on eBay (I love shopping there) and they get more in all the time, you can search here.

1286505_fpx

I found a similar Gianni Bini Gibson Dress ($139):

gianni bini

In an episode of Smash last season, Jennifer Hudson wore a similar dress and paired it with sparkly red heels which I never would have thought of. So I wanted to do that for this look.

I found these Badgley Mischka Divine Peep Toes in Wine Glitter ($157.99) which are perfect! My wedding shoes were also Badgley Mischka and they were super awesome and comfortable.

2424371-p-MULTIVIEW

I have these Nadri Chandelier Earrings ($120) that would go perfectly with this outfit.

I also have this Nadri Micro Pave Bracelet ($150) that I usually wear with these earrings:

2e2797745d5134beaf65ec88075b5a38For my clutch, this Kate Spade Pop Fizz Clink bag ($328) is perfect! I wonder if they will do another 50% off sale before the New Year (I hope so!):

Scandal “Vermont is for Lovers” Recap

December 19, 2013 by Leave a Comment

Last week on Scandal we learned that Olivia’s (Kerry Washington) mother is still alive. This week we learned that Eli (Joe Morton) has been keeping her prisoner for years. Now that Olivia has started asking questions, he has decided to move her out of the country so Olivia will never figure out that she is alive.

Quinn (Katie Lowes) is freaking out about killing a man…and guess what…the team is trying to figure out who killed him, so that makes things even worse for her. In the meantime, Josephine Marcus (Lisa Kudrow) needs the team for a project and Olivia runs off to meet with her. Olivia wears a white blazer and grey cowl neck shell. To recreate the look I found a Vince Camuto Blazer ($150) and a Calvin Klein Cowl Neck Blouse ($39):

white blazerI think she was wearing the Long Oval Sterling Silver Necklace from Arte Designs ($93):

Sterling-Silver-Necklaces29

Turns out that files and a laptop were stolen from the Marcus campaign and Josephine’s sister wants to point the finger at Governor Reston. Olivia disagrees and says that they should stay quiet and let the cops point the finger.

In the most disgusting scene in television history, Olivia’s mother tries to commit suicide to get out of her cell (So Gross!!!!!). This causes Eli to move her so they can provide her with medical care.

Mellie (Bellamy Young) and Cyrus (Jeff Perry) have a plan to catch Sally Langston’s (Kate Burton) husband with his pants down. They have maneuvered James (Dan Bucatinsky) into doing an interview with Daniel Douglas (Jack Coleman) in the hopes that Daniel will hit on him and James will turn him down, thus giving him something to write about. Mellie plants the seed by telling Daniel that James and Cyrus have an open marriage.

Turns out Josephine’s sister didn’t take Olivia’s advice. She went ahead and did a press conference suggesting the the Reston campaign stole the campaign materials. Olivia is trying to keep her cool and sends Harrison (Columbus Short) to deal with the situation. Olivia wears a Chloe Contrast Mock Neck Sleeveless Top ($539) and her  Ippolita necklace ($695). To recreate the look for less I used a BCBGeneration Contrast Collar Top ($34) and  black onyx necklace ($95):

white blouse

Fitz (Tony Goldwyn) won’t leave Olivia alone and helicopters her into a cozy house in Vermont. Olivia wears a Dior houndstooth coat, Bajra scarf and Dorothy Gaspar gloves. To recreate this outfit, I found a pleat-back houndstooth coat from Chadwick’s ($99.99) and David & Young scarf ($19.50):

coat

She also carries her trusty Prada bag, of which I found the look for less in the Michael Kors Selma Bag ($358):

pradaWe learn that Fitz built the house for Olivia, so they could live in it together one day. This seems to make her happy because she sleeps with Fitz again and rekindles their relationship. She tells him not to sell the house, so it sounds like she is still holding out hope that they will end up together.

Abby (Darby Stanchfield) discovers that Candice faked the break-in and asks Harrison to go talk to her. Little did we know that Harrison was sleeping with her (wow…). Olivia tells Josephine that she needs to fire Candice in order to move on with the campaign. Olivia wears a collarless MaxMara jacket. This Cotton Flannel Collarless Blazer ($98) is similar:

grey blazer

James finally realizes what Cyrus and Mellie were up to with the Daniel Douglas interview. He doesn’t take kindly to being their pawn and decides to go through with it by sleeping with Daniel (I DID NOT see that one coming!).

Then instead of firing Candice, Josephine takes the blame for stealing the computer and drops out of the election instead. This could free Olivia up to possibly work on another campaign…

The episode ends with Olivia’s mother escaping from Eli’s secure facility and confronting Olivia on her way home. Huck (Guillermo Diaz) confronts Quinn about who she is working for. This sure sets up the next episode for some big explosions! How do you think Olivia will react to seeing her mother again? What will Huck do to Quinn?

The Crazy Ones “Sixteen-Inch Softball” Recap

December 18, 2013 by Leave a Comment

This week on The Crazy Ones, it’s time for the annual Accounts vs. Creatives Sixteen-Inch Softball game. This year the stakes are high because the firm had to let a client go. This means that someone from the Creative or Account teams will need to be let go. Gordon (Brad Garrett) and Simon (Robin Williams) make a bet that the team who loses will have to make the cut.

Sydney (Sarah Michelle Gellar) wears a perforated leather top by Rebecca Taylor ($158), sold-out teal Kaleidoscope pumps by Charlotte Olympia and sold-out Arte Designs Turquoise Gemstone Earrings ($45):

Screen Shot 2013-12-17 at 2.18.50 PMI found the Stella & Dot Serenity Stone Drop Earrings ($49) and these Shi by Journey’s teal pump ($29.99) to complete the look:

Screen Shot 2013-12-17 at 2.28.55 PM

This puts a lot of pressure on the Creative team and nobody wants to sign up for the game. The only thing that will inspire hope in the team is if Simon decides to come out of retirement and play this year. Ten years ago, in the annual firm game, Simon played the game of his life when he hit five homeruns and won the game for the Creatives.

104002_fox_0259b

Simon confesses to Zach (James Wolk) that they only reason he played so well is because he was on an acid trip and he is terrible at sports. Zach convinces him that the other team just needs to think he is playing and that will be enough to psych them out. This works for a while as Gordon walks Simon every time he is up to bat and then Simon throws his back out in the end. Unfortunately, Simon takes some muscle relaxers and suddenly thinks he can play again. He ends up hallucinating a wondrous victory, but in reality, he doesn’t even hit the ball and ends up running the bases backwards.

This was a cute episode, I love the dynamic between Simon and Gordon.

The Good Wife “The Next Month” Recap

December 16, 2013 by Leave a Comment

This week on The Good Wife Lockhart Gardner becomes “LG.” Will (Josh Charles) is fired up about expanding and rebranding the firm. Diane (Christine Baranski) wears a red paisley brocade jacket by Stella McCartney. I found a similar scroll blazer at Dress Barn ($46):

red blazerLG is so busy with the expansion, they don’t have time to talk to Natalie Flores (America Ferrara), who is bringing them an important case with the State Department. They pawn her off to Howard Lyman (Jerry Adler) who is racist and completely unprofessional with her. Natalie instead takes her business to Alicia (Julianna Marguilles).

In the meantime, Florrick Agos finally gets office space in a factory style building. They are trying to bill it as a hip startup. They decide to take Natalie’s case because it has the potential to send them lots of extra business. Alicia wears a floral embroidered Rena Lange jacket. I think the best match is the same scroll blazer at Dress Barn ($46), but the grey version:

grey blazer

Marilyn (Melissa George) and Eli (Alan Cumming) visit Alicia because Peter (Chris Noth) wants to come to the office and congratulate his wife. They wanted to come first and make sure there weren’t any ethical violations. Marilyn wears a Saint Laurent Black Leather Ruffle Cady Dress. This was pretty unique, so I just tried to find a professional leather trim dress that you could wear to office. This dress from Venus ($34) does the trick:

leather dress

Eli runs into Natalie at Alicia’s office and is visibly moved by seeing her again. He invites her out to dinner. Will finally realizes that they messed up with Natalie by letting her talk to Howard and desperately try to get her back.

Unfortunately, Florrick Agos needs to make cuts to keep moving forward. Robin (Jess Weixler) was the last person hired and they decide to let her go but she overhears them talking and decides to approach Kalinda (Archie Panjabi) to get her old job back. Kalinda tells her to make herself indispensable so they won’t fire her. I thought this was great advice to give any young professional.

Robin decides to help Alicia and Natalie out in there case, and boy is she determined. She ends up hunting down their missing person in less than two hours.

During Eli’s dinner with Natalie, he tells her that Peter won’t be giving his minority talk anymore. She was disappointed and this eventually leads Eli to reschedule the talk. This change ends up embarrassing Marilyn in front of Peter, so she starts looking into why Eli might have changed his mind about the speech.

Alicia and Cary (Matt Czuchry) end up running all over town to different courts in order to appeal their case. Alicia wears a gold zip front L’Agence suit jacket ($299) with an Alexander McQueen pencil skirt. I found a similar Dana Buchman blazer for $24:

zip front

On the other side, Will is busy drowning his sorrows in his college-aged girlfriend. She is the complete opposite of Alicia, which makes it interesting to watch Will with her. He does end up getting Natalie to reconsider taking her business to LG since its not going very well with Alicia and Cary.

Poor Diane gets stuck with trying to wrangle Howard into apologizing to Natalie. He is a piece of work! Diane looks great in a wine colored dress with lots of pearls. I found a similar Anne Klein ribbed dress ($129):

wine dress

 Eli almost cancels his dinner with Natalie, but then he mans up and decides to meet with her. It is so funny to see him be so off balance with her.

Peter finally visits Alicia’s office with no ethical violation, whew, I was worried about that one (insert sarcasm here).

Nothing too crazy this week, most of the fun was watching Eli be nervous.

White Collar “Master Plan” Recap

December 15, 2013 by Leave a Comment

This week’s White Collar was focused on Elizabeth (Tiffani Thiessen) and what better way to kick it off then a hot steamy scene with her and Peter (Tim DeKay). The only problem is that Peter is getting sick.

This week, Elizabeth is reunited with a wealthy Manhattan family that she used to tutor for in her younger days. Their son, Patrick, mysteriously disappeared and suddenly returned to the family. After seeing the son, Elizabeth is concerned that he is an imposter trying to inherit the family’s fortune and Neal (Matt Bomer) goes undercover as a butler to try and expose him.

Elizabeth wears a two-tone black and white dress, white blazer and an orange belt and matching slingback heels. To recreate this look, I found a Jax Two-Tone Ruched Jersey Dress ($148), Eliza J Ruched Sleeve Blazer ($78), orange belt ($8.99) and orange slingback pumps from Nordstrom for $59.98: orange outfitElizabeth recommends Neal for the butler job and stays close to the family by helping them with their art collection. She wears a black skirt suit, black silk blouse, nude heels and looks like she is carrying a black Birkin bag. I found a black skirt suit from The Limited (Skirt $35.97, Blazer $70.80), Silk Charmeuse Shirt ($99), Nine West Drusilla pumps ($58.99), Jane Bag ($159): black suitNeal is busy trying to get a DNA sample from Patrick, but it is proving to be harder than he thought. Patrick is doing a good job of not leaving a clue about his identity. He does have a lot of information about his past with Elizabeth, which is puzzling. Either he is the real deal or he is getting information from someone.

In the meantime, Mozzie (Willie Garson) is living with Neal and has been trying his patience by trying to keep bees on the balcony. It ends up working out for Peter when Mozzie uses the honey to come up with a concoction to cure Peter’s flu symptoms.

The team finally figures out that Patrick is after the trust fund and Elizabeth decides she needs to confront him and force a DNA test. Patrick takes the test to prove them wrong. Elizabeth wears a beautiful periwinkle dress. I found a similar periwinkle dress at Modcloth ($199.99):

periwinkle dress

Unfortunately, the blood test was a match for the real Patrick. Because of this, Elizabeth gets fired as their art buyer. The family doesn’t want anyone around that questions Patrick. This leaves Neal on his own to figure out what is going on. He follows Patrick to take the dog to the vet, but discovers that Patrick has a device implanted that can use someone else’s blood. But this means that he must have the real Patrick alive somewhere.

In the end, Neal and Peter find the real Patrick and bring him home to the family. Elizabeth wears a mixed media tweed dress. I found a similar colorblock tweed sheath dress from Ann Taylor ($139):

tweed

I always love to see more Elizabeth on White Collar so this is one of my favorite episodes so far this season. I also loved seeing Neal as a butler, he really is a great con man.

Scandal “Everything’s Coming Up Mellie” Recap

December 14, 2013 by Leave a Comment

This week on Scandal, Mellie (Bellamy Young) needs some help with her image, so she decides to do a special interview so people can see her softer side. I thought this episode was really interesting because we got to see a lot of Mellie’s backstory and we even got to see her and Fitz (Tony Goldwyn) when they were in love.

Quinn (Katie Lowes) is flirting with danger, with Huck’s (Guillermo Diaz) former colleague, Charlie (George Newbern).

Olivia (Kerry Washington) is still trying to end things with Fitz, but he just won’t give it up. She wears a beautiful Dior black and white wool coat. I found a great match on Asos for $101.63:

black and white coat

Olivia brings the team a new case, her mother. She wears a blue blouse – I found a similar Theory Toska Silk Top ($225):

theory blouseIn the meantime, we learn more about how Mellie and Fitz started their bumpy road to the White House and Quinn makes out with Charlie! (What is she thinking?!) I keep forgetting the Mellie was a lawyer before she was the First Lady, she had to give all of that up so Fitz could be president.

Cyrus (Jeff Perry) and Mellie are scheming to catch Sally Langston’s (Kate Burton) husband with his pants down by hiring a hooker to seduce him.

Olivia and team finally have a lead when they discover that someone was taken off of her mother’s plane before it left the tarmac. Olivia wears a grey wool blazer – I found this QMack blazer at Macy’s ($29.99):

grey blazerWe also learn how much Mellie really had to sacrifice, when Fitz’s father rapes her. I kept waiting for Fitz to save her, but he never did. When you look at everything with that perspective in mind, you really feel bad for Mellie, she has gone through so much and she is trapped in that relationship unable to leave and start over. Fitz does end up coming to her rescue in the interview, but that doesn’t make up for everything she has had to endure.

The team checks in with Olivia and has a lead, they are planning to meet with the lead later on, but Quinn ruins everything after Charlie tricks her into killing the lead. Now he is blackmailing her into doing his bidding.

Olivia wears a white blazer – this Kasper three-button blazer ($87.99) is similar:

white blazerDuring a White House event, Mellie and Cyrus’ hooker fails to entice Sally Langston’s husband, but after they see him flirting with James (Dan Bucatinsky) they realize that he might be more into men.

As the episode ends, we realize that Mellie got pregnant after Fitz’s father raped her and that Olivia’s mother is still alive.

Wow…that is a lot to take in.

What did you think about this week’s episode of Scandal? Do you feel differently about Mellie’s character? How far down the rabbit hole will Quinn go?
