The Good Wife “The Next Week” Recap

Lockhart Gardner is still reeling from Alicia (Julianna Marguilles) and Cary’s (Matt Czuchry) betrayal. When a client calls for Alicia, Will (Josh Charles) quickly takes on the client. Diane (Christine Baranski) wears a St. John Tweed Jacket and a PONO by Joan Goodman necklace. I found a similar red Studio Tahari Blazer ($99.99) and Stella & Dot’s Tempest Necklace ($198) to recreate the look:

tweed red

In the meantime, Florrick Agos is experiencing financial difficulty. They desperately need to get office space and the natives are starting to get restless. Alicia wears an Escada blazer with a white panel added for contrast. I found a similar Jones Studio Two-Tone Blazer ($79.50):

black and white

Will’s easy DUI case suddenly turns into a murder charge out of nowhere. Alicia is subpoenaed to Lockhart Gardner because they are being sued again. I couldn’t believe how ballsy she was in blackmailing Diane to get her capital contribution back! Who knew she had it in her?

I love the exchange between them:

Diane: “You know, sometimes I look at you and I wonder if you changed or you’ve always been this way.”

Alicia: “I had some of the best teachers in the world. I couldn’t help but change.”

Clarke Hayden (Nathan Lane) also returns to help Florrick Agos with their money issues. I love his character!

Alicia heads back to Lockhart Gardner for her deposition. She wears a fabulous No. 35 leather and suede jacket. I found a similar Anne Klein Faux Leather Trim Jacket ($126.75):

Diane wears a Lafayette 148 Gold Tweed Jacket. I found a similar Antonio Melani Amy Jacket ($129):

I love the interaction between Will and Owen (Dallas Roberts), hilarious. This also makes Will look more human and makes me feel bad for him. I also love the fact that Owen calls Alicia a warrior princess!

I LOVE that long stare Will gives Alicia at the office, they say nothing, but that look says so much! Alicia wears a flannel Ferragamo grey blazer. I found a similar JCrew blazer for $375, so you might want to wait for a JCrew coupon on that one:

Screen Shot 2013-12-10 at 10.53.24 AM

Will and Diane are back to business, figuring out how to win their case, I love to see them working as a team – that high five was classic! Diane wears what looks like a bright blue tweed jacket. This Classiques Entier Vedi Tweed Jacket ($268) is similar:

Screen Shot 2013-12-10 at 11.18.03 AM

I can’t believe Owen stopped by Will’s office to talk about Alicia – holy crap! If Alicia knew she would be so mad. But Owen is a great character, because he says everything that Alicia is feeling but would never say.

And let’s not forget sweet Zach (Graham Phillips), protecting his sister. What a sweet brother!

I can’t believe Anthony Edelman (Bhavesh Patel)- he has been messing things up for the firm from the beginning! What a jerk! I can’t believe he sold out Alicia on this. It will be interesting to see how he damages the firm. They should really have all of the employees sign confidentiality agreements or something that says they can’t work for Lockhart Gardner for a year.

So many amazing moments! We know that Hayden will be back and it will be great to see how he practices law. I can’t wait to see what happens next. I think I said Love about 20 times writing this post, but that’s really what happens when I’m watching it. My husband laughs at me because every few minutes I am gasping or laughing. This show is SO entertaining!

These Are a Few of My Favorite Things

I started this blog in May and have had so much fun writing it ever since! I feel like I learn something new every time I write and research a new post. For my Favorite Things list, I wanted to highlight some of the items I have covered this year, that I absolutely love. I use my blog as a virtual shopping list, most of the time I am posting about things I either own or want to get for myself. So without further ado, here are my favorite items from 2013:

Solano SuperSolano 3500Lite Hair Dryer ($129.99)

You can read more about this hair dryer in my original post here, but I am still using this and it is awesome.

Clinique Eye Shadow in Sugar Cane ($15)

I originally posted about my favorite Clinque eyeshadow, Sugar Sugar here, but Clinique has redesigned all of their shadows and the new comparable color is now called Sugar Cane. I didn’t think it possible, but I love the new shadows even more than the originals. The pigment is so vibrant and it is fabulous for layering.

Wen Cleansing Conditioner ($29)

I’ve been a Wen girl for pretty much the whole year now and I still love it. You can read more about my journey with Wen here. I use the Lavender scent on a daily basis now, but for the holidays you might try the new Winter Cranberry Mint scent.

Starbucks Refreshers

I am not a coffee drinker, I don’t like the taste or flavor of any coffee products. I also don’t like tea or soda, so this limits the choices I have to get caffeine. These refreshers are fantastic, you can get them as a drink at Starbucks, in a can or as a packet to add to your water.

Side Way Cross Necklace ($25)

I was so excited when I got my Ily Couture Side Way Cross Necklace on sale. I wore it a number of times…and then I lost it. I can’t seem to find it anywhere, so I bought another one (which is probably the fastest way to find the old one). It annoys me to have to buy something twice, but I really loved it.

Stella and Dot Bahari Necklace

This is the perfect necklace to wear on Michigan game days. Funny story – I saw one of our local TV anchors wearing it after last week’s game and I liked it so much I decided to tweet her and ask her where she got it. I was thrilled when she said it was Stella and Dot. Unfortunately, this necklace is sold out on the Stella and Dot website, but I got mine on eBay.

Jimmy Choo Look for Less

The Jimmy Choo Leila shoes have been on my list for quite some time. They are pretty much the hottest shoes I have ever seen. Unfortunately, they are sold out. I scoured eBay for them but they only have the brown ones.  I was recently out at an event and saw a girl wearing them. Of course I went up to her and asked her if those were the Jimmy Choo shoes and where she found them. She told me that they weren’t Jimmy Choos and she got them on sale at DSW. I immediately went online to hunt these amazing look-a-likes down. They are the Caparros Dalton Sandal for $39.94. Just take a look – on the top we have the Jimmy Choos and on the bottom, the Caparros:

Nars Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base ($24)

This is the best eye primer out there. This is as close as you are going to get to a magic potion in life, this stuff is AWESOME. I apply a few dots on my eyelid and blend it from lashline to browline before applying shadow.

JCPenney 1 Carat Diamond Studs ($497)

I originally posted about these during Black Friday and while I couldn’t get them then, they are still on sale. The more I think about it, the more I think that I really want a pair of studs and I think these would be perfect.

Candor 8-Bottle Wine Fridge ($99)

This was my best Black Friday score. I got it for $50, but it is still only $99. I love this little wine fridge. I will eventually get a bigger one, but this is a great starter fridge.

White Collar “Controlling Interest” Recap

This week on White Collar, Peter (Tim DeKay) and Neal (Matt Bomer) mourn the loss of Agent Siegel (Warren Kole). Unfortuntely, there are few leads and the team needs to continue working on active cases.

Peter wants to start on a boring accounting case, until someone walks into the office and confesses to a crime. A very weird crime that he can’t remember the details of.

WC

The investigation takes an odd turn when the bank won’t report anything stolen. The team finds a common link between the thief and the owner of the safety deposit box, a psychiatrist, Dr. Mara Summers (Elizabeth Marvel). Summers was treating our thief for his compulsions as a felon. So of course, Neal goes undercover to pose as one of her patients.

504_gallery_7

After the first session, Neal realizes that Dr. Summers drugged him and that is how she manipulates her patients over time. This is a problem for Neal because he has no idea what he may have told her under the influence. The only way to find out is to have Mozzie (Willie Garson) drug him again to remember their conversation.

This takes a turn when Neal decides to confess his sins to Peter while he is under the influence. Elizabeth (Tiffani Thiessen) and Peter find the whole situation weird, but Peter starts to use this to his advantage and ask Neal questions about Seigel. Thank goodness Mozzie rescues him in the nick of time before he gets himself into trouble.

Elizabeth wears white jeans, a navy sweater and a brown cardigan. I found a Michael Kors Tank ($23.70), a Kim Rodgers Cardigan ($28.80) and Gap Skinny Jeans ($22.99):

elizabeth

In a classic move, Neal decides to drug the doctor and get her to confess to the crime. What’s interesting is that when Peter went to retrieve the $2 million it wasn’t there. Neal went there first and got the money to give to Mozzie to get him back on his feet.

504_gallery_6

Neal decides that he is still a criminal and he likes being one. He is coming back to the life with Mozzie, but he has too many masters and needs to cut some out.

WOW! I didn’t see that coming. What do you think Neal will do next?

It’s time for another edition of Five on Friday with A Liz AdventuresThe Good Life BlogHello Happiness and Carolina Charm.

THE GOOD LIFE BLOG

I figured that today would be as good as any to share my Christmas Wish List with you. This is mostly for my hubby so he knows what to get me, (haha) but I would also love to hear what things are on your wish list this year. Now this will probably look very similar to my Birthday Wish List, but I like to be consistent.

1. The iPhone 5s

This is the top item on my list, I NEED a new phone. I currently have the iPhone 4 and it isn’t working out anymore. It is too slow and I never have enough room to take new pictures, not to mention the quality of the camera is terrible. I already know that I want the gold iPhone and hope that Santa will bring it to me for Christmas.

2. Temptu

I have wanted the air brush makeup kit for a long time now. I used to test it out at Sephora when they partnered together and I loved the results! Patricia Field, the costume designer from Sex and the City has come out with a branded gel skin for the Temptu that I think is adorable.

Scandal “Icarus” Recap

Olivia Pope (Kerry Washington) is at a standstill. Who should she believe? Who should she trust? What job should she take? She decides to confront the problem head on my simply asking Fitz (Tony Goldwyn) what he knows about her mother’s death and if it is true that he was responsible. She wears the same Armani Collezioni Coat with a Stand Collar ($1197) from “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner.” This Ellen Tracy Tweed Button Front Coat ($210) is a similar look for less: ellen tracy   She was not happy with Fitz’s response, so she decides to take on Josephine Marcus’ (Lisa Kudrow) campaign instead and help a woman get elected to the White House. Pope & Associates begin work on the campaign and have a lot of great insights as to how Marcus can win the election. You can see why she wins elections. Olivia wears a beautiful Giorgio Armani Degrade-Print Snap-Front Jacket ($1737). I found a similar look in this Antonio Melanie Pete Ombre Jacket ($179):

ombre jacket

She is also carrying her staple Prada bag  – you can get the look for less with the Micheal Kors Selma Satchel ($358):

prada

Pope & Associates need to raise cash to pay for Josephine’s campaign, which includes big media buys. This makes Marcus uncomfortable because she doesn’t want to be something she’s not. You would never figure that out though by the way she charms the pants off of the fat cats. Olivia wears a double breasted Prada jacket. I had a hard time finding a match for this, but I think this Tahari tweed jacket ($159.99) is perfect:

prada jacket

The problem is that the donors don’t believe that Marcus can win, so Olivia needs to secure a big interview that will change Marcus’ images and convince the donors that she can win.

This new revelation about her mother isn’t sitting well with Olivia. She needs answers and Fitz isn’t giving them so she attempts to ask her father about them. He does tell her that he didn’t give the order to shoot down the plane. Olivia wears a Donna Karan Cross Front Drape Sweater. I found this Wrap Tunic ($82) that is similar:

wrap sweater

Pope & Associates tries to prepare Josephine for her upcoming interview. She doesn’t want to sling mud or pander to sexism in the interview, which is making things difficult. Olivia wears a white blazer and a grey shell. I found a Tahari blazer ($69.99) and this  9 & Co. Charmeuse top ($19.99) to recreate the look:

white blazer

Olivia and team do what they do best and trick Josephine into letting her temper show during the interview, so she can come across strong. She ends up doing a fantastic job. Olivia wears a navy blazer, I found this JCP blazer for $29.99:

navy blazer

In the meantime, Cyrus (Jeff Perry) is blackmailing Harrison (Columbus Short) to sabatoge Josephine’s campaign. He refuses and gets Huck (Guillermo Diaz) to help him with his problem instead. Quinn (Katies Lowes) is getting courted by B613, which is interesting. I’m not sure where that will lead.

Fitz can’t take Olivia’s rejection lying down so he decides to visit her and force the truth out of her. She eventually admits that her mother was on the plane that he shot down. And there you have it folks. The silver bullet to Olivia and Fitz’s relationship.

The Crazy Ones “Sydney, Australia” Recap

This week on The Crazy Ones, Sydney (Sarah Michelle Gellar) has a stalker and Simon (Robin Williams) tries to land the Australia account, even though he hates Australia.

After Sydney was featured in a profile in Ad Age, she gets a gift basket from Danny (Josh Groban), a former coworker of hers. She discovers that he has a stalker-like obsession with her, including a catchy song that he wrote for her. Sydney wears a sold-out Helmut Lang Cove Leather Trim Suit Jacket ($229). To recreate this look I found a Sharagano Faux-Leather Trim Blazer ($99.99), a Calvin Klein top ($29.99) and some great vintage earrings on Etsy ($20.53): blue earrings The catchy song about Sydney has blown up around the office. Everywhere she goes, someone is playing it. They even have a Calypso version. Sydney wears a BCBG Tuxedo Jacket ($99.20) and a sold-out embellished muscle tee from Haute Hippie ($173). I found a similar shirt from Victoria’s Secret ($29.50):

embellished tee

Unfortunately, it all goes terribly wrong when Danny shows up at the office determined to take Sydney on a date. She gets freaked out and tells him that she never wants to see him again. Sydney wears a  Tibi Solid Silk Cami in Magenta ($99), the Parker Vivian Leather Sequin & Silk Top ($308) (ID: Possessionista) and Arte Designs Pink Tourmaline Gemstone Earrings ($40). To recreate this look for less, I found a DKNYC sequin pullover ($79.99), this Halogen Camisole ($19.00) these Stella and Dot Serenity Small Stone Drop Earrings ($34):

sparkle top

The situation gets more difficult when Simon and team have done everything they can to pitch the Australia account, even as far as dressing as women.

TejVtqQBut the only thing that seems to work is the song that Danny wrote for Sydney, which the whole office has stuck in their heads. The only problem is that after she humiliated him, he doesn’t want to sell his song to Lewis, Roberts and Roberts.

Good ole’ dad to the rescue though, because Simon convinces Danny that Sydney’s refusal actually makes him a better artist. So in the end it all works out and Simon confronts his bad relationship with Australia as the source of most of his life problems.

Problem solved.

The Good Wife “The Next Day” Recap

I’m not sure how you can top the last episode, but this one was pretty good. Diane (Christine Baranski) is preparing to become a judge, Will (Josh Charles) is losing himself in a new girlfriend and Alicia (Julianna Marguiles) is running her new firm out of her house. Alicia wears a cashmere gray zip up sweater by Richard Grant. I found a similar StudioLux Jacket by Under Armour ($129.99): Zip up Marilyn (Melissa George) stops by to discuss ethics with Alicia. Is this a real job in the governor’s office, because it seems sort of annoying to me. She is like the ethics police. I like her character though and her clothes are great. She wears a black blazer with ruffles along the edge and a high collared white blouse.  This Cremieux Juliet Blouse ($79.99) and INC Ruffle Trim Jacket ($83.99) provide a similar look: ruffle jacket Diane is busy filling in with Alicia’s old client against Nancy Crozier (Mamie Gummer) of all people. Diane wears a Rope Matelasse Jacket from Chado Ralph Rucci ($1715). You can get a similar look with this Dolce Vita Ashna Metallic Tiles Blazer ($208):

gold jacket

In the middle of her argument, the lawyers are called into chambers and the client decides to change her counsel from Diane to Alicia and Cary (Matt Czuchry). I love how the judges react to this – hilarious! Alicia wears an Armani Micro Herringbone Draped Lapel Jacket ($1395).  I found this Elle Ruffle Blazer ($21.60) that provides a similar look:

grey blazer

After court, Marilyn stops by again and we discover that she is pregnant. This makes her character more likeable and gives her a chance to bond with Alicia.

The next day, Alicia takes Will and Diane to the Disciplinary Board to get their client’s files back from Lockhart Gardner. I am surprised at how far she is taking this. She wears an LT Bennett Julie Grosgrain Jacket ($425). This Kasper Framed Flyaway Jacket ($71.40) is similar:

kasper jacket

I can’t believe how cold Alicia was to Will during this. I understand that she needed to let him go, but coming after him like this doesn’t seem like her. After the meeting Diane finally learns that she is out for the Supreme Court position. She wears a vibrant blue and green brocade jacket. I found a Tahari Jacquard Contrast-Trim Jacket ($71.40) that is similar:

jacquard

Things get a little weird when Diane’s new husband has a lead in the gun case, but it’s not Diane’s case anymore. Alicia then convinces him to testify for the client.

Marilyn comes back to Alicia’s house and starts digging into Peter’s internet taxation speech and is trying to make it look like Florrick Agos got the ChumHum business because of this speech. She’s not wrong, but she’s not gaining any friends here.

Back in court, Alicia has Kurt McVeigh (Gary Cole) on the stand to testify about the defective gun. Alicia recycles a Moschino jacket from last season. This Jones New York blazer ($99.99) is similar:

moschino

Kalinda (Archi Panjabi) has to break it to Diane that she is no longer being considered for the Supreme Court position. She goes to the bathroom and breaks down. I feel bad for her, she worked so hard to get to the Supreme Court and hurt her relationship with Will and then Alicia’s actions ruin her chances. It is really a shame. Diane wears a tan dress and an Alchemy Classic “O” Abs Choker ($225).  I found a similar mocha dress by Andrew Marc ($59.40):

beige dress

Back at the Disciplinary Board Alicia, Will, Cary and Diane are arguing over client files. Alicia wears an olive Tom Ford skirt suit and Diane wears a fuchsia jacket with a vintage pin. I had a hard time finding a match for Alicia’s jacket, but found a similar color Elie Tahari jacket ($199):

olive jacket

For Diane, I found this Liz Claiborne Ponte Peplum Jacket ($47.99) and a great vintage brooch from Etsy ($24):

pink jacket

In the end, Lockhart Gardner gets their case back, but Diane officially loses the Supreme Court position. It is a bittersweet victory.

White Collar “One Last Stakeout” Recap

Neal (Matt Bomer) is bonding with his new handler David Seigel (Warren Kole) this week on White Collar. Well he is mostly trying to figure out how to handle his illegal business without Seigel finding out. We learn a little more about Seigel, that he comes from money but left all of it to do the right thing. He seems to be a genuinely good guy.

1 - Neal and Seigel

Curtis Hagan a.k.a. The Dutchman (Mark Sheppard) officially gets released and he still is pulling Neal’s strings. He gives Neal an almost impossible task and forces him to be creative to accomplish it.

In the meantime, Peter (Tim DeKay) promotes Clinton Jones (Sharif Atkins) to take over his old position. Neal and Mozzie (Willie Garson ) convince someone else to rob a museum as a distraction so they can actually rob it without getting caught.

Peter is having a hard time enjoying the perks of his new position, even when they include suite tickets to a Yankees game. He takes Elizabeth (Tiffani Thiessen) along with him and she tries to convince him to rip off the band-aid and let Seigel handle Neal. Elizabeth wears a mint green blouse with jeans and heels to the baseball game. I found a similar mint blouse from Spense ($17.39):

mint blouse

Caffrey’s break in doesn’t go quite as planned because Peter shows up unexpectedly. He improvises, but realizes that he may have left his fingerprints at the crime scene. To get Peter to leave, Neal comes down a little harsh on him. Peter leaves and heads back to meet Elizabeth with some friends. For her drink with friends Elizabeth wears an off-the-shoulder red dress. I found a similar Tadashi Shoji dress ($138):

red dress

The consequences from his actions pile up, including getting the curator from the museum fired and having Peter think it is his fault for throwing Neal off his game.

When he meets with Hagan, Seigel follows him and starts to suspect Neal of something more. Unfortunately, Seigel doesn’t get the chance to confront Neal because he is murdered out of nowhere. Peter and Neal go to investigate the crime scene and Peter says it was a mugging gone wrong, but somehow I don’t think that is true.

503lastsceneNandP_zpsd652dc2f

I can’t believe they killed of Seigel so soon. I was just starting to like him.

Scandal “More Cattle Less Bull” Recap

During Olivia’s (Kerry Washington) weekly dinner with her father, Huck (Guillermo Diaz) and Jake (Scott Foley) are investigating his apartment. They seemed determined to bring Eli Pope (Joe Morton) down at all costs. Olivia wears a herringbone plaid blazer. I found a similar Calvin Klein blazer ($52.49): herringbone Back at the White House it is campaign manager season. Cyrus (Jeff Perry) and Mellie (Bellamy Young) are searching for a manager for Fitz (Tony Goldwyn) and Josephine Marcus (Lisa Kudrow) is looking for someone that can get her to the White House. Cyrus and Mellie strike out and Olivia lands a job with Marcus. Unfortunately, she has a big problem for Olivia to handle, she gave a baby up for adoption when she was a teenager. Olivia wears a white tweed Christian Dior blazer. I found a Rachel Zoe tweed jacket ($79.84) that is similar: tweed jacket Olivia sends the entire team to Montana to dig up dirt on Josephine and figuring out ways to make sure that dirt stays buried. One thing nobody counted on was the vice-president taking on both Josephine and Fitz to win the presidency. The team discovers that Josephine Marcus’ baby is actually her sister, Candy. Josephine wants to shield Candy from the media scrutiny and tries to get Olivia to fix it for her. Unfortunately, during the press conference she has to face the situation head on and admit that Candy is her daughter. It works out swimmingly for her, but she ends up firing Pope & Associates anyways.

Olivia wears a grey suit during her work with Josephine and carries her white Prada bag. I found an Evan-Picone Gray Suit Jacket ($59.98) that is similar:

I found a Micheal Kors Selma Satchel ($358) that is a great match for Olivia’s Prada Bag:

Fitz calls and cheers Olivia up, letting her vet his jokes for the White House correspondent’s dinner. Mellie overhears their conversation and realizes that she can’t get between them. Olivia decides to attend the dinner after all and takes Jake as her date. She wears a stunning Rubin Singer colorblock dress. I found a great look for less in this Anne Klein Colorblocked Strapless Gown ($328):

Out of left field Mellie asks Olivia to come back on the campaign trail and continue her relationship with Fitz. When it rains it pours because Josie also offers Olivia her job back.

It all sounds like a dream come true for Olivia and she actually considers it until Jake and Huck come to see her and tell her that Fitz was the one that shot down her mother’s plane and is responsible for her death.

I think that effectively ends Olivia’s relationship with Fitz, but let’s be honest – it wasn’t really going to work out anyways. Now maybe she can finally move on.
