Mistresses “Playing with Fire” Recap

On this episode of Mistresses, things start to heat up in all of the plotlines. We find out Daniel is keeping secrets and possibly seeing another woman, Savi (Alyssa Milano) is “playing with fire” in her relationship with Dom (Jason George), Joss (Jes Macallan) starts a relationship with her plastic surgeon and Karen (Yunjin Kim) crosses a line.

Here are my favorite looks from this week:

Joss

Joss finds out about Savi’s secret relationship with Zack (Jason Gerhardt) and then runs off to host a party for Scott (Justin Hartley). She wore a Zara Draped Viscose Blouse (sold-out) and a TopShop Diamond Quilted Skort (only available in orange $72). This Yellow Long Sleeve Front Cross Dipped Hem Blouse ($14.67) and TopShop Asymmetrical Skort ($65) are similar:

zara blouse

Joss decides to hold an intervention for Savi, which sort of annoyed me. She is a meddler and can’t let people make their own mistakes. Sometimes people need to make mistakes or they won’t learn anything. She wears a  Rebecca Taylor Faceted Embellished Silk Tee (sold-out) and James Jeans Zip Fly Skinny Jeans ($99). I found this INC International Concepts Sleeveless Illusion Studded Top ($44.99) to recreate the look:

rebecca taylor

Later on in the day, she gets new shoes and sends Scott a picture to tease him about his shoe fetish. The shoes she wears are the Zara high-heel ankle boot sandal ($59.99):

Karen

Karen confesses to April (Rachelle Aytes) that she has been role playing to meet guys and that she is loving it! April warns her that this could be a problem if she ends up really liking someone. She wears either the Joie ‘Malena B.’ Mixed Media Sweater (sold-out) or the Diane von Furstenberg Louisa Top ($294.31). This Rebecca Taylor blouse ($44.97) is similar:

dvf blouse

Karen decides to ignore April’s advice and take her role playing to the next level by sleeping with her latest suitor. In this identity she wore a long wig and the Just Cavalli Leopard Print Dress (sold out). This Diane von Furstenberg Ariana Sleeveless Printed Jacquard Dress ($167.40) is similar:

just cavalli

Savi

Savi is “playing with fire” in her new relationship with Zack. They go to the Red Hot Chili Peppers concert and then he takes her to get a tattoo. Interesting that she does all of this without telling Dom. She wore a Vince Draped-Collar Leather Jacket ($995) to the concert. I liked this BB DAKOTA Jacket – Faux Leather Drape Front ($84) as a look for less:

vince leather jacket

Savi confronts Joss about her intervention and the fact that she can’t trust her. Joss accuses her of doing the same thing to Dom that she did to Harry (Brett Tucker) last year. Savi completely disregards her advice and runs off with Zack again. She wore a Vince Vintage Leather Moto Jacket (sold-out) and carried a Michael Kors Hamilton Saffiano Leather Satchel ($358). This Cressida Jacket by BB Dakota ($92.99) and this Myrum bag from Aldo ($45) are great looks for less:

Bachelorette 10 – Week 7 Recap

The boys are in Brussels this week and Andi is feeling the pressure as this is the last week before hometowns. I could have helped her decide by sending everyone home that was wearing a scarf. What is up with these boys and their scarves – it is not attractive at all.

Andi on the other hand wore a beautiful Leather Insert Wool-Blend Cape by Sandro (sold-out). This Vince Camuto Single Button Cape Coat ($199) is similar: cape Chris Harrison sits down with the guys and lets them know that there aren’t any roses on the individual dates, but there is a rose up for grabs during the group date. He leaves the first date card for Marcus and it says “Let’s get a taste for Brussels.”

For their one-on-one date, Andi and Marcus get to explore Brussels. Andi is rocking her white pants again. She definitely knows how to work the white pants this season. She wears an Open Sleeve Poncho by Maison Martin Margiela. This Gray Cotton sweater ($79.99) from Etsy is similar: gray sweater

She also wore the Denae ring from KVBijou ($95):

denae

During the evening portion of their date, Andi needs to decide whether or not to meet Marcus’ family. He really opens up to her and shares some personal stories about his upbringing. Andi wore a Dion Lee Halter Dress. This Tamzen Halter Neck Wrap Over Bodycon Dress ($30) is similar without the colorblocking:

keyhole dress

The next date card arrives for Josh and reads “Let’s Ghent it On.” He didn’t expect that, but Andi needed more time with Josh to figure out what he was feeling. Once Marcus comes back from his one-on-one date, Nick sneaks up to spend some additional time with her. This was totally contrived by the producers, but it worked for Nick since he wasn’t going to get a one-on-one date this week. Andi seemed to love it though. She loves making out with Nick.

Josh and Andi explore the town of Ghent for their one-on-one date. Andi is rocking her JBrand 811 Mid Rise Skinny Jeans ($172), Joie Ferrell Jacket ($131.20), Minnie Rose Women’s Cotton Fringe Shawl ($51.35) and a white lace top. I previously found these 1969 mid-rise real straight skimmer jeans ($27.99) from Gap to match her white jeans. I also found this Club Monaco Vienna Bomber Jacket ($174.30) and this Short Sleeve Lace Tee ($45) to recreate the look:

minnie rose

During the evening portion of her date with Josh, Andi needed to figure out if Josh was ready to get married. Andi wore these beautiful Robyn Rhodes Genevieve Earrings ($135):

genevieve earrings

The last date card comes for Nick, Dylan, Brian and Chris and reads “True love is sacred.”

Back on Andi and Josh’s date, Andi is starting to come around to Josh. She really likes him, but she wants him to tell her that he loves her. He finally says the words and they go to a private concert by American Young. Andi is so smitten with Josh, he will be pretty hard for anyone else to beat for Andi’s heart. She was more excited to hear that he was falling in love than for anyone else on this season. I tried to get a good clip of her full outfit. She wore a Helmut Lang Alpaca-blend sweater (sold-out) and Alegra Leather Pants from Club Monaco ($695). To recreate this look, I chose this Kimono Sleeve Alpaca Sweater ($74.50) and these Blank NYC Vegan Leather Spray On Skinny in Grey Day ($98):

alpaca

You can get a glimpse of Andi’s Ruby Teardrop Ring from KV Bijou ($169):

ruby rose

On the group date, the boys get to explore an old castle, then they have to pedal a rail bike (which looked like hard work). The weird part of this date was when they went to a monastery where they aren’t allowed to kiss. Andi had some sexy pottery time with Chris, but she ultimately gave Nick the date securing his place at hometowns and giving him more one-on-one time with Andi. On this date, she wore Splendid Roland Suede Ankle Booties ($187.95) and Joie So Real Skinny Cargo Pants ($198). These Ivanka Trump Ramada Booties ($69.99) and Lucky Brand Charlie Super Skinny Cargo ($39.99) are similar:

cargo pants

During her one-on-one time with Andi, she wore a Rebecca Taylor All-Over Sequin Jacket (sold-out).  This Mao Collar Sequin Jacket ($59.99) is similar:

sequin jacket

Afterwards, the crap hits the fan when all of the guys gang up on Nick – drama!!

At the cocktail party, Nick steals Andi away making him even more hated by the guys. She wears a dramatic long-sleeved sequin dress with a slit to show off her gams. I found a similar sequin dress from KMDresses ($139.99):

sequin dress

Chris waits until the last minute and pulls Andi aside for one last kiss to make sure to lock his place down for hometowns.

At the rose ceremony, Andi sends Dylan and Chris home, which leaves Marcus, Chris, Nick and Josh to travel to their hometowns next week.

There is only one deleted scene this week – some goofy dancing with Chris, Marcus and Dylan:

Suits “Two in the Knees” Recap

This episode was action-packed! Even though Mike (Patrick Adams) went legit, Harvey (Gabriel Macht) still has secrets that can be used against him and nobody is safe. Rachel (Meghan Markle) had to use her influence with Logan (Brendan Hines)  to set things right which might lead her down a slippery slope.

Things are mostly resolved in the end, but for how long, who knows?

Here are my favorite looks from this episode:

Rachel

When Rachel comes in from working an all-nighter, she is wearing a Burberry Long Slim Fit Coat. It is hard to see in the picture, but the opening camera shot captures all of its beauty. I found a similar DKNY Peyton Trench Coat ($182):

burberry trench

Logan meets with Rachel to try and sugar coat some of his dealings with Mike. I can already tell that this situation is going to head down an interesting path. Rachel wears a super feminine lace trimmed Valentino sweater ($774). I thought this Chelsea28 Lace Yoke Sweater ($40.80) was a great look for less.

lace sweater

Donna

Donna (Sarah Rafferty) meets with Mike to catch up and talk about Harvey. Unfortunately, she tells Mike something about Harvey that Mike ends up using against him. In this scene she wears a fabulous Burberry Buckingham Double Breasted Cotton Trench ($1,495) and carries the Gucci Microguccissima Patent Leather Dome Satchel Bag (sold-out). This Calvin Klein Double Breasted Trench Coat ($158) and this Textured Bowler Bag from Express ($59.90) are amazing looks for less:

donna trench

Donna and Louis (Rick Hoffman) are becoming more buddy buddy this season. They strategize on how Louis is going to make amends with Jeff Malone (DB Woodside). Donna’s dress is perfect and no wonder, it is Alexander McQueen’s Cap Sleeve Deep V-Neck Dress ($1,595). This Marc New York by Andrew Marc Knit Midi Dress ($138) would be perfect to wear to work:

mcqueen

Louis comes to Donna for advice about Jeff Malone, who he thinks is gay and attracted to him, ha! She wears a sold-out Prabal Gurung flower print dress. There is a sleeveless version here for $1,303. I found three great looks for less for this outfit. The first, is a Floral V-Back Dress from Loft ($89.50), the second is a Print Sheath Dress from Adrianna Papell ($138), and the third is a Sleeveless Ruched Front Floral Instantly Slimming Dress from White House Black Market ($170):

prabal gurung

Donna is the queen of power walks and talks with Jessica in a Lanvin Twist Front Bi-Colour Dress. This MinkPink House Of Cards Dress ($36.99) is similar:

lanvin

Jessica

Jeff uses Louis to get Jessica (Gina Torres) to help him out with a case. She wears a fantastic white ruffle collar blazer from Alexander McQueen ($1,095.94). This Joan Rivers Ruffle Neckline Jacket with 3/4 Sleeve ($18.38) is somewhat similar:

white ruffle blazer

Covert Affairs “Shady Lane” Recap

I’ve watched Covert Affairs since the beginning and have wanted to cover it for the blog. I was hoping it would be a fun alternative to Alias (which I LOVED)! Annie (Piper Perabo) is no Sydney Bristow, but she does have great style for someone who lives out of her suitcase. Plus she does her job in Louboutin heels, what girl wouldn’t want to look fabulous while protecting national security?

The past few seasons, Annie has grown as a spy and it has been fun to watch. When we left off last season, she had gone dark to kill Henry in Hong Kong. This season begins with her coming back to the CIA four months later with a big secret.

When Annie gets back to work, she goes professional in a black pantsuit and deep blue blouse. I personally hate wearing long sleeves under a blazer, so I chose a sleeveless blouse to complete this look with the Tahari Jaycee Blouse ($58.90/sale) along with the Express Studio Stretch Notch Collar Jacket ($108) and Studio Stretch Barely Boot Editor Pant ($69.90):

Mistresses “Friends With Benefits” Recap

In this week’s episode, we discover that the guy who came to see Savi (Alyssa Milano) is really Zack Kilmer (Jason Gerhardt) the other person from her accident. I didn’t see that one coming, but what Savi does need is another man in her life (insert sarcasm here).

I was happy to see that they finally addressed some of the things that had happened last season, Savi’s accident and Karen’s (Yunjin Kim) trauma.

We also see Savi start to go down a dangerous path with Dom (Jason George) and that April’s (Rochelle Aytes) new man has a secret!

Can we all just agree that Karen makes the worst decisions, is she trying to be an escort now? (Throws hands up in the air!) For an accomplished professional, she is sort of dumb.

Aside from that rant, here are some of my favorite looks from this episode:

Savi

When she meets Zack, Savi is wearing a cozy Drapey Lux Cardigan from Splendid ($108). This Kische Open Front Cardigan is only $44, if you want a similar look for less:

splendid cardigan

Savi and Dom decide to come out to HR about their relationship. This is also the first time she lies to Dom about buying tickets for Joss’ birthday. I went back and forth on her skirt and decided that I liked it for a Fall look. It was the Michael Kors Wool-Silk Ikat Pencil Skirt in Rose/Leaf/Black ($271 – 70% off!) or more sizes here.

michael kors skirt

Karen

Karen tries to start dating again, but is unfortunately thwarted by Google, when blind dates can find out about her scandal from last year. She looks great in a green halter dress! I couldn’t find the exact dress, but I found a similar London Times Ikat Chevron Halter Blouson Dress for $79:

green halter

Joss

Joss (Jess Macallan) puts all of her eggs in one basket and buys a table at a charity event to try to network for clients. That was a big gamble! Harry’s (Brett Tucker) girlfriend ends up setting her up with a blind date without her knowledge and it gets sort of awkward. At least she looked fabulous for the first date. Her red satin dress was va-va voom! This Trumpet/Mermaid Sweetheart Court Train Satin Evening Dress from Dress First ($155.99) should do the trick for a similar look:

red satin dress

Following their date, Scott (Justin Hartley) sends Joss a puppy! First of all who does that? Second of all, what company lets someone do that. You don’t even know if that person can even care for a puppy! Anyways, she was wearing a cute C’est La Vie Top that is unfortunately sold out. I found another C’est La Vie Tank from Hot Topic for $16.40:

cest la vie

Bachelorette 10 – Week 6 Recap

This week, Andi and the boys travel to Venice, Italy! As she arrives via gondola, Andi wears the Katia Earrings from Brooklyn Designs ($65):

In this ITM (in-the-moment), she is wearing Sacred Jewels Aqua Chalcedony & Garnet Vision Necklace ($199):

sacred necklace

As she roams the city before meeting up with the guys, she wears the Club Monaco Isabella Trench ($329). This Marc New York by Andrew Marc Rue Coat ($84.99) is a great look for less:

olive trench

She is also wearing the Bria Earrings from Brooklyn Designs ($49):

As soon as Andi meets up with the guys, she informs them that the first one-on-one date starts immediately and she chooses Nick. This causes drama because Cody hasn’t had any one-on-one dates yet. Nick and Andi get to explore the city on their date.

In the meantime, the group date card comes for Josh, Brian, Dylan, Marcus, JJ and Chris which means Cody will get the final one-on-one date. It says “I’m looking for love.”

For the evening portion of the date, Andi meets Nick for a masquerade ball for the two of them. Nick is pretty darn honest here and I think the most realistic of the group on what this is. #Hesnotheretomakefriends

Andi wore the Painted Delight Mermaid Evening Gown by Theia ($1295). I thought this Trumpet/Mermaid Sweetheart Sweep Train Taffeta Evening Dress With Lace ($213.99) from Dress First had a similar look:

gold gown

After she gives Nick the rose, they go outside and dance to a private serenade.

Next up, on the group date, Andi takes the guys out on the town and then to a castle where she has them all take a lie detector test. Josh was not happy about this at all.

She wore an Hermes scarf (I couldn’t find the exact one) and the Skyline Ankle Skinny Jeans from Paige Denim ($179). I loved this outfit and to recreate it I chose a Sandra Ingrish Split Back Roll Sleeve Shirt ($68), 1969 mid-rise real straight skimmer jeans ($27.99) from Gap and this BCBGMAXAZRIA Case for Lace loop Scarf ($46.99):

hermes

She also wore her Costello ring from Brooklyn Designs ($65) again:

The bracelet she wears is the Stella & Dot Jackie Link Bracelet ($69):

b279g_jackie-link_rgb_a

Andi decides to rip up the lie detector results, which made Josh very happy. They proceed to the evening portion of the date. Andi wore an Herve Leger little black dress, I think it is this V-Neck Bandage Dress ($880). This Kardashian Kollection Women’s Bandage Mesh Cutout Dress ($34) is a great look for less:

herve leger

Chris admits that he is the secret admirer and secures himself the rose for the evening. He also redeemed her night after a weird conversation with Josh.

For her one-on-one date with Cody, Andi wore a sold-out Vanessa Bruno Athe Aimy Crepe Skirt. I thought this Club Monaco Summer Skort ($149.50) was a great match:

summer skort

They went to Verona and they got to answer love letters to Juliet, which was sort of cool. We get to see a different side of Cody and he was pretty excited about the date.

This activity inspired Cody to write his own letter to Andi. Unfortunately, she didn’t feel the same way and decided to send him home. Andi wore some unfortunate True Religion tan leather pants, which I’m not going to feature because it wasn’t a good look. Don’t worry Cody, you will find love on Bachelor in Paradise…

At the cocktail party, Nick made some enemies by stealing Andi away at the beginning even though he had a rose. Andi didn’t care; she loved it! She wore a sharp Blue Sequin Dress from Pamela Dennis. I thought this Lauren by Ralph Lauren Sleeveless Sequin Evening Gown ($101.99) provided a similar look:

pamela dennis

At the rose ceremony, Andi had to let JJ go, which wasn’t really a surprise as there wasn’t really a romantic relationship at this point.

Next week the boys and Andi are heading to Brussels!

What did you think about this week of dates?

For our deleted scenes this week, Cody receives his first one-on-one date card:

Andi and Nick feed the pigeons in Venice and they decide to land on Nick…yuck:

In this clip, JJ and Andi talk about whether or not he is good in bed…awkward!

Suits “Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner” Recap

Things really started to heat up in this week’s episode of Suits. Mike (Patrick Adams) has all of Pearson Specter working against him, but he seems to be holding his own.

Louis (Rick Hoffman) is devastated when Jeff Malone (DB Woodside) comes in as a new partner and takes his dream. He bounces back and probably is the better man in the end.

Jessica’s (Gina Torres) fashion choices have taken a different turn this season, she is wearing more pink and they are showing her softer side, which is nice to see. Here were some of my favorite looks from this episode:

Rachel

Upon waking up, we see Rachel (Meghan Markle) wearing a personalized EberJay Gisele PJ Top ($115). This similar Victoria’s Secret Knit Sleepover Pajama is only $49.50:

eberjay

As Rachel gets ready to tell Harvey (Gabriel Macht) that she had an affair with their newest client, she wore a Nina Ricci Shell with Lace Insets ($249). This Slub Jersey Lacy Tank ($14.80) from Forever 21 is similar:

nina ricci

Jessica

As Jessica dashes Louis’ hopes and dreams by hiring Jeff Malone she wears a sold-out Mugler Structured Curve Blazer and a sold-out Burberry Prorsum  Floral-Jacquard Pencil Skirt. I tried to recreate this look with an ASOS Cropped Blazer With Clean Lapel ($85.74) and Brooks Brothers Jacquard Pencil Skirt ($198):

burberry jacquard

As Jessica gets schooled by Donna (Sarah Rafferty) on how to keep Louis happy, she wears a feminine sold-out Roksanda Ilincic Margot Wool Crepe Dress. This Limited Edition Nude Pink Falbala Sleeves Backless Dress ($64.52) from Choies is a great match:

Mistresses “Open House” Recap

This episode was mostly filler, I think the most exciting part was Jacob (Matthew Del Negro) finally revealing that he had feelings for Karen (Yunjin Kim), but there were plenty of fashion options that I liked on this episode, so that made up for it.

Here are my favorites:

Savi

During Savi’s (Alyssa Milano) open house she wears a sold-out color tipped pink blouse from Vince. I found this NYDJ Georgette 3/4 Blouse ($89) to replicate this look: vince In dealing with Toni (Rebeka Montoya) Savi wears the sold-out Marissa Webb Sonia Top. This Vince Camuto Lace Blouse ($99) is similar: marissa webb Harry (Brett Tucker) and Savi are trying to sell their house, but Harry won’t talk to Savi and are having trouble closing the deal. Savi wears the Joie Marru blouse in a great periwinkle color. I love this blouse and have one in white! Since that color is sold out you can get the same style in other colors here. I found a great H&M look for less with this Satin Blouse ($24.95): joieSavi is finally dealing with the repercussions of her actions and I have to say, I don’t really feel bad for her. I’m not sure what she expected from Harry after she cheated on him and ruined their marriage. She wore a Vince Draped Satin Wrap Blouse ($92) in this scene: vince draped

Karen

Karen has a morning coffee with Joss (Jess Macallan) and wears a pink Vince Contrast Placket Blouse ($169). I thought this Tanks to You Top from Modcloth ($29.99) was a great black on pink look for less: pink and black On Karen’s first date back, she wears a sold-out Reiss Hermione Black Folded Layer Dress. This Victoria’s Secret Asymmetric Shift Dress is the perfect match for only $49.50: reiss asymmetric

Joss

Joss meets up with Karen to dish about her date. I really liked her sold-out Band of Gypsies Print Chiffon Kimono Jacket. I thought this Blue Sakura Print Kimono Sunscreen Chiffon Coat for $18.13 was a good alternative: kimono

When Joss runs into Savi, she wears a J Valdi Zig Zag Swim Cover Up ($21.60): jsaldi

April

April (Rochelle Aytes) is charged with hosting a parent party for her daughter’s school and her new gay best friend comes up with a painting party with half-naked men serving drinks. You can get April’s Vince Camuto Printed Halter Maxi Dress for $90.99: floral maxiApril has a meet-the-parents date with her daughter’s new friend’s parents. It gets awkward when the dad turns out to be someone she went on a coffee date with and he is married! I loved her dress in this scene. It is black with little flowers, so cute! I thought this Floral Print Strappy Cut-Out Maxi Dress from Charlotte Russe ($29.99) would be a good recreation: black floral

Toni

Toni is the kind of girl that you need to keep close so you can make sure to be one step ahead of her. She is a great dresser and I loved her Ted Baker Jamthun Zip-Front Jamthun Zip-Front Peplum Dress ($295). This ASOS Midi Body-Conscious Dress with Sweetheart Neck and Peplum ($47.64) is a good look for less:

Bachelorette 10 – Week 5 Recap

This week on The Bachelorette Andi and the boys travel to Marseille, France! Andi meets with Chris Harrison to talk about the week and how she is feeling about the process. She wears a Rag & Bone Briana Wool Blend Sweater ($137) and this Alice & Olivia Pleated Leather Skirt ($495). I found a few similar skirt options, one at H&M for $15 and one at Zara for $19.99. For the sweater, this Design History Sweater ($65) fits the look: leather skirtAs soon as the men arrive they receive the first date card, in French. What we do know is that Josh gets the first date card. I loved Andi’s outfit on this date. She wears a pink half placket blouse from Vince. The pink color is sold out but I found a black and white version here ($119.40) and here ($132.99). Her necklace is the Andi necklace from Brooklyn Designs ($115). To get the look for less, I found this Chelsea28 blouse ($52.26) I also loved her tote and couldn’t find a similar striped bag, but I did find this Marc Fisher bag ($65.99) that has the grey and white look: vince blouse   Andi also wore Brooklyn Designs’ Infinity Earrings ($38) on this date:

In the meantime, the next date card arrives and it’s a group date card for Marcus, Dylan, Chris, Cody, Marquel, JJ,  Nick, Patrick and Andrew. It’s blank and says “Love, Andi.” Some drama unfolds in the house, when Marquel finds out that Andrew made a racial comment during one of the early rose ceremonies.

For the evening portion of her date with Josh, Andi wears a V-Neck Halter Dress from Gucci. They have dinner at Palais Longchamp, a romantic French palace. I found a similar Laundry by Shelli Segal Knotted Jersey Cross Back Gown ($275): gucci Andi is smitten with Josh and they finally have that serious conversation that she has been dying to have with him. Of course, she gives him the rose and they continue their evening with a private concert from Ben Fields.

On the group date, the guys have to mime…in public. Andi wears a cute French-inspired outfit with the Elvia lace top by Joie ($218), Azin turquoise earrings by Robyn Rhodes ($99), Ryan Bangle Bracelet by Melinda Maria ($98) and the Forever 21 Fancy Faux Suede Pumps ($22.99). I found a less expensive Pim + Larkin Boatneck Lace Top ($44.50). Since the Forever 21 shoes are mostly sold out, I found these Tahari Jada Pumps ($39.94) that are nearly identical: Joie While the group is miming, the second one-on-one date card arrives for Brian and says “I’ve got the recipe for love.”

Nick is pretty miserable miming and just being on the group date. The cocktail party was “salty” so-to-speak. There was too much drama in the house and the guys pretty much ruined the evening for Andi. She looked great in an MLV Bobbi Sparkle Mini-Skirt ($154). This Pure as Snow White Sequin Mini Skirt from KamiShade ($69) is similar: sequin mini I had a hard time getting a screenshot of the fabulous little booties she had on, so I hope you can see them. I liked them so much that I found these similar Steve Madden Derived Booties ($64.96): booties On the group date, Andi gives JJ the rose, which was interesting since he was the drama instigator. I guess his plan worked…

Brian has the last one-on-one date and it’s pretty much a commercial for The Hundred Foot Journey. Which is fine considering her date with Brian is terrible. We needed something to entertain us. I will never understand why she gave Brian the rose on this date. It was Lame with a capital L. At least Andi looked cute in her All Saints Cargo Leather Biker Jacket ($540). This Cherrie Faux Leather Biker Jacket from Topshop ($100) is similar: All Saints Leather Jacket During the cooking portion of the date, Andi wore the sold-out Elegant Surplice Top from Forever 21. This Free People Miles Away Tank Top ($68) is similar. She accessorized with the Ombre Iolite & Arrowhead Necklace by Gold & Gray ($330), Mini Druzy Necklace by Gold & Gray ($120) , Hampton Circle ring by Brooklyn Designs ($89) and Costello ring by Brooklyn Designs ($65): surplice tank hampton circle ring

For the rose ceremony Andi wears a blue corseted dress with black embellishments. I really liked her “frozen style” hair this week. I’m not sure it went with this dress exactly, but I really liked the braid. This Wholesale Black Royal Blue Evening Dress ($177.86) is the closest match I could find.

corset dress

Andi decides to cut the cocktail party and go straight to the rose ceremony as she has made up her mind and there is no changing it. During the rose ceremony you can see her Ruby Marmalade ring from Kiki Designs ($120):

ruby marmalade

She let Andrew, Patrick and Marquel go this week, which seemed about right since she hadn’t had a one-on-one with any of them and she hadn’t kissed any of them. It was pretty clear that these were easy cuts at this point.

Next week the boys are headed to Venice, Italy!

There are a few deleted scenes this week, the first  is a conversation between Josh, Marquel, Nick and JJ discussing Brian’s chances of securing his rose on a one-on-one date:

In this one, Chris Harrison talks about the end of bromances:

In this clip, Cody steals Andi away for some last minute one-on-one time before the rose ceremony:

Here we see another clip of Andi receiving another letter from her secret admirer:

Suits “One, Two, Three, Go…” Recap

I’ve wanted to cover Suits on my blog for some time and I am excited to start this season! I watch this show with my husband and LOVE the outfits. From Jessica’s (Gina Torres) power dresses to Donna’s (Sarah Rafferty) polished look, I can’t wait to find the looks for less.

Season four sees everything changing, from Mike (Patrick Adams) leaving the firm to go legit, to Rachel (Meghan Markle) coming into her own as Harvey’s number two, it will be interesting to see how the dynamic will change.

Here are some of my favorite looks from this episode:

Rachel

I loved this feminine Burberry Prorsum Blue Lace Pencil Skirt, no wonder it’s sold-out. She paired it with a Burberry Brit Stretch Cotton Shirt ($225) and Yves Saint Laurent Mini ‘Cabas ChYc’ Burgundy Leather Tote Bag. Get this look for yourself with this Minuet Petite Lace Zip Back Skirt (about $50), Banana Republic Fitted Non-Iron Sateen Shirt ($69.50) and Michael Kors Selma Large Satchel ($267.99):

Rachel is always polished, even in her Burberry Check Stretch-Silk Dressing Gown. I thought this striped kimono robe from Victoria’s Secret ($52) would make a good alternative.

She looks calm and collected in her Alexander Wang Exposed Dart Sheath Dress ($297). I thought this Ultra Chic Sheath Dress from Forever 21 ($17.80) had fun details like Rachel’s dress for a similar look:

Jessica

Jessica struggles with her decision to hire Jeff Malone (DB Woodside) and I have to respect her decision to make him choose between a personal or professional relationship. For their last night she wears a Lanvin wrap-front piqué coat ($4,460) and Salvatore Ferragamo Double Gancini Leather Belt ($350). To recreate this look, I found a London Fog Trench ($258) and Patent Double Keeper Skinny Belt ($25):

What did you think about this episode of Suits? What will happen now that Harvey and Mike are on opposing sides?
