The Good Wife “The Next Week” Recap

December 10, 2013 by DetroitDuchess Leave a Comment

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:

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):

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:

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:

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!

The Good Wife “The Next Day” Recap

November 26, 2013 by DetroitDuchess Leave a Comment

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): 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: 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):

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:

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:

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:

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:

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):

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):

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

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

The Good Wife “Hitting the Fan” Recap

November 12, 2013 by DetroitDuchess Leave a Comment

This episode was the best hour of television I have seen in years. If you aren’t watching this show, now is the time to start. The build up to the moment Will (Josh Charles) discovers Alicia’s (Julianna Marguiles) betrayal was perfect and the moment did not disappoint. I was on the edge of my seat the entire episode loving every second.

The most heartbreaking part of the whole episode was Will’s reaction. It seemed like he was heartbroken and sick all at the same time. He stayed impressively calm throughout everything though. WOW…amazing scenes. The musical score was also right on the money, it kept the intensity flowing throughout the entire episode. I don’t know if I can pick a favorite part of this episode, but I think Peter (Chris Noth) confronting Will on sleeping with Alicia may have been a high point. Again, WOW!

Throughout the episode, Alicia was wearing the same Number 35 blazer with leather elbow patches featured in last week’s episode. I found a similar Mossimo blazer ($39.99):

Also, the sex scene between Peter and Alicia – where did that inner vixen come from? Seriously, who is this lady and what have they done with Alicia. In any case, I am looking forward to seeing this new side of her. She wears a leather blazer during the ChumHum meeting. I found a similar Calvin Klein blazer for $89.99:

In the second ChumHum meeting, she wears a beautiful royal blue dress and blazer to win the business. I found a similar Anne Klein jacquard dress ($99) and blazer ($129):

Then right at the end, we discover that Peter has changed his mind about asking Diane (Christine Baranski) to be the next nominee. Poor Diane, I felt really bad for her, although she didn’t have to tell Will that Alicia was leaving the firm.

What did you think of this week’s episode of The Good Wife? I cannot wait to see what happens next!

The Good Wife “Outside the Bubble” Recap

October 31, 2013 by DetroitDuchess Leave a Comment

I love that Viola Walsh (Rita Wilson) is back this episode. I love her animosity with Diane (Christine Baranski). The episode starts from the paralegal’s point of view. Funny how the only person that even knows her name is Alicia (Julianna Margulies). Alicia wears an Escada Pleated Cutaway Jacket ($1795), also seen on Scandal. I found an even better look for less with the Elle Pleated Blazer from Kohl’s ($44.80):

I also love that Elsbeth Tascioni (Carrie Preston) is back. Her interaction with David Lee (Zach Grenier) is hilarious. Diane and Kurt McVeigh (Gary Cole) are finally getting married. It is interesting to watch him interact with her friends, but even I thought that the whole political scene was a little overboard. Diane wears a red suede military jacket. I found a similar jacket from QVC ($86.90): I don’t know what sort of friends would grill your fiance about their politics…obviously not very good ones. They even come over to confront Diane after the fact, but Diane holds her own in a fantastic green dress. I found this similar Aiden Maddox Sequin Dress ($295): During the deposition with the paralegal, Alicia wore a Double-Face Crepe Jacket from the Armani Collezioni Collection ($1295). This Tahari blazer ($69.99) is a great match: The paralegal’s lawsuit is getting out of hand, but as Diane has to come in for her deposition. This is where she starts to catch on to something odd with Alicia. It’s too bad, because the fourth years almost got away with leaving, but they stayed too late. I loved Viola’s leopard print jacket and found a similar one from Boston Proper ($129): One of the issues that comes up during the deposition is that Will (Josh Charles) was sleeping with underlings in his office. Nobody knew it was Alicia, but it brings up some questions and forces them to revisit their past. During their exchange, you can definitely see there are some lingering feelings there, but those will be gone as soon as Alicia tells him she’s leaving the firm. Alicia wears an Akris Punto Blazer ($1460) – this printed Grace Elements blazer ($59.99) is a great match: Diane decides to meet Kurt’s friends, who turn out to be a bunch of women in their 20’s. It makes Diane uncomfortable and she questions getting married to him. She wore a sweater dress with a jeweled neckline. I found a similar Michael Kors dress ($160):

Cary (Matt Czuchry) finds out that one of the fourth years has leaked an incriminating video to Viola. This puts them in a difficult situation because he got caught and will now get fired without his bonus. This guy was a jerk, I hope after what happens he won’t be coming to the new firm. Alicia wears a tie-neck blouse; I found a similar Nine West Blouse ($39.98):

Diane meets with one of her clients who divulges that Alicia is heading up the new firm, confirming Diane’s suspicions. Diane wears a leopard sheath dress. I found three great options for this look, the first an Anne Klein sheath dress ($64.99), the second another Anne Klein dress ($59.40) and the third is a Jones New York dress ($59):

All of this sleuthing doesn’t get in the way of her wedding as she meets up with Kurt to get married at the Justice of the Peace. On her wedding day, Diane goes simple with a long-sleeved black sheath dress and a beautiful firefly brooch. This Diane von Furstenberg Messon dress is a steal at $135 and this firefly brooch is still available on eBay ($24.99):

Alicia bumps into Diane at the end of the episode and Diane doesn’t say a word to her. Alicia brushes it off, but Diane is deciding whether or not to tell Will about Alicia’s betrayal. Alicia wears a grey zip-up blazer in this scene. I found a similar Mossimo blazer ($39.99):

What did you think of this week’s episode of The Good Wife? Next week is the episode where Will finds out about Alicia, how do you think he will react?

The Good Wife “A Precious Commodity” Recap

October 21, 2013 by DetroitDuchess Leave a Comment

I have to hand it to Diane (Christine Baranski), she owned up right away to Will (Josh Charles) that she burned him in the Law Review interview. That couldn’t have been easy and I don’t think a lot of people would face it head on. This is why I like Diane’s character so much. She doesn’t seem afraid of very much. The first family of Illinois got their inaugural photos taken. Alicia (Julianna Marguiles) wears the sold-out Gammner dress from The Row. For a similar look try this Nicole Miller Sheath Dress ($275) or this Ponte Sheath Dress ($88):

ID Source: WornOnTV

Alicia gets called away on an interesting case about a surrogate. In the meantime Will starts to make a case to push Diane out of the firm. Alicia wears a purple collarless blazer for her meeting with the surrogate and the parents. I found a similar blazer at DressBarn for $79.50: Peter (Chris Noth) and Eli (Alan Cumming) bring back Marilyn (Melissa George) to give her the Ethics Committee job back, but she is no pushover and demands unfettered access to Peter…this should be interesting. She wears a black peplum dress. I found a Calvin Klein peplum dress for $118:

David Lee (Zach Grenier) decides to join Alicia in the surrogate case, as he has a larger prize in mind. I love that Alicia catches on to his plan right away. She is one smart cookie. She is always the voice of reason, especially in the Diane situation as she reminds everyone that Diane will be a Supreme Court justice and they might want to leave things on good terms. Alicia wears a patterned skirt suit by Escada. I found a purple and black patterned skirt suit from Le Suit ($59.99) that has a similar sense of whimsy:

The firm gives Diane an exit package, but she declines saying that they can do better. They want to keep her clients in good standing. Diane is wearing a white textured jacket from Armani and a vintage firefly brooch. I found an MNG white tweed jacket ($55) and a vintage brooch on eBay ($24.99):

Then Will asks Alicia to replace Diane as managing partner! WOW, I didn’t see that one coming – he is going to be furious when she leaves with Cary (Matt Czuchry). This really puts her in a difficult position.

Back in court, Alicia is arguing to let her client keep the baby she was carrying. It is an interesting argument. She wears a Giorgio Armani Ribbed Front Jacket ($2795). I found this Star Jones blazer that has a similar seam detail ($65):

Marilyn is back on the Ethics Committee giving Eli a hard time already .She looks great doing it in a white v-neck blouse with pleats. I found an INC pleated blouse at Macy’s ($72.50). When she talks to Peter you can already see that they have chemistry…I think she will spell trouble for him. No wonder he is in such a hurry to renew his vows with Alicia.

Cary confronts Alicia about getting asked to be managing partner, he makes a good point, that she will always be under Will if she stays. I think that if she never had the affair with Will it would be different, but I don’t think they can work that closely and keep it clean. Then Robyn (Jess Weixler) lets it slip that Alicia is leaving the firm, which Kalinda (Archie Panjabi) didn’t know.

Alicia sits through Will’s discussion with Diane, where she rejects the exit package again. Alicia realizes that if she becomes managing partner, she could one day be having this same discussion with Will. I think she can’t believe how ugly it’s become. She immediately goes to Cary and tells him that they need to leave this week. She wears a Rena Lange striped blazer. You can try this Anne Klein linen blazer ($109) for a similar look:

Diane is a formidable opponent in a Moschino asymmetric ruffled jacket ($2, 438.79). I found a black INC military jacket for $119.50:

What did you think of this week’s episode of The Good Wife? Alicia’s secret is about to come out – how will Will react? What do you think will happen with Peter and Marilyn?

The Good Wife “The Bit Bucket” Recap

October 13, 2013 by DetroitDuchess Leave a Comment

There was a lot going on in this week’s episode of The Good Wife. ChumHum was back and so was Alicia’s mother, Veronica (Stockard Channing). The partners are becoming very suspicious of the fourth year lawyers as they prepare to leave the firm. Diane (Christine Baranski) is wearing a Dolce & Gabbana Floral Tweed Jacket in the opening scene. I found a few similar options, the first, an Anne Klein Tweed Jacket ($103.99), the second, a crinkle cut jacket from QVC ($52) and the third, a white tweed jacket from Rafaella ($24.60):

The new office space looks great, but juggling two firms is starting to take its toll on Alicia (Julianna Marguiles). She wears a 35DL Maroon Suit. Daniel Lawson, the stylist from The Good Wife is actually starting this new line. The suit isn’t available yet, but you can watch for it here. I found a similar Tahari ASL Suit ($179.99):

In court this week, ChumHum takes on the government and Alicia and team get creative in how to resolve their conflict with their gag order. It is an interesting ethical dilemma as Cary (Matt Czuchry) and Alicia are planning to take ChumHum with them when they start their firm. In court, Alicia wears a blue silk suit by Dior. I found a similar suit from Tahari ASL ($179.99):

Diane has an ethical dilemma of her own – trash Will (Josh Charles) or don’t get the State Supreme Court nomination. She wears a red blouse – I found a similar silk blouse for $107.20:

During her interview she decides to take the high road and not bash Will. The reporter doesn’t seem to like this and the interview wasn’t great. Also, as a PR person, I have to mention that it was an extremely hostile interview and I’m surprised that Eli (Alan Cumming) didn’t sit in. Diane wears a black blazer with a gold pattern. I found a few metallic blazers that could work for this look, a metallic jacket from Lafayette 148 ($698) and a Rafaella Metallic Jacket ($76.99):

Alicia meets her mom for a drink to say thank you for providing the extra money for her new firm’s new office. They get drunk off of margaritas and it is a great scene. I love when Alicia gets real and actually shares what she is feeling. She wears a tweed blazer; I found a similar Nine West Tweed Blazer for $95.99:

Eli visits Diane to convince her to do another interview, this time bashing Will. She is very reluctant to go through with this, but ultimately gives the interview. I was surprised by this…I really thought she would stick to her principles, but I guess she really wanted the Supreme Court position. It’s too bad because Eli called back as soon as she finished the interview letting her off the hook. Diane wore a teal dress for the interview. I found a few similar options – a Michael Kors Wrap Dress ($120) and a Ronni Nicole Knotted Dress ($76.50):

Will is going to flip when he finds out, next week’s episode should be explosive! I wonder what will happen when he finds out about Alicia leaving as well.

What do you think Becca (Dreama Walker) is up to?

The Good Wife “Everything is Ending” Recap

October 6, 2013 by DetroitDuchess Leave a Comment

I have always loved the clothes from The Good Wife. Alicia Florrick (Julianna Marguiles) and Diane Lockhart (Christine Baranski) are impeccably dressed in every episode. I really wanted to cover this show this season and try to find some of these amazing looks for less.

The first scene we see is the ending of last season, where Cary (Matt Czuchry) visits Alicia to discuss starting their own firm. The dress is so sexy, so you think she is meeting with Will, but it turns out to be Cary. It is a black Antonio Berardi dress. I found two different options, the Black Halo Jackie Dress ($345) and a sexy David Miester dress ($250, worn by Marcia Gay Harden on the red carpet).

Alicia and team are working on a death penalty appeal which makes for a fairly serious episode. The comedic relief was Monica “teleconferencing in” on some sort of robotic segway and not really making it work. That was sort of ridiculous, but I could see offices trying to do something like that. In any case, it lightened up the episode. Alicia is wearing a teal Christian Dior blazer. I found a similar option for less at Dress Barn for $39: I also have to mention how great the music was in this episode – it really brought the time limitations of this case to life. And a big hello to Melissa George who is guest starring as Marilyn “Mitch” Garbanza. I was a big fan of Alias back in the day and she was always a character I loved to hate. I am excited to see how her character will develop this season.

Marilyn wears a white blouse with leather trim. I found a few similar options, the first a B and K by BUCHANAN & KANG blouse ($295), the second a Elie Tahari Chelsea Blouse ($186), and the third a Kardashian Kollection blouse ($33.24):

Marilyn has a very feminine look, which might explain why Eli (Alan Cumming) and Peter (Chris Noth) decide to promote her out of the office – so as not to send the wrong message. She wears a high-neck cream blouse. I found a similar looking blouse from Equipment ($124.80):

Back at the office, Cary confronts Alicia to make sure she is still on board with going out on their own. The partners complicate things when they confront her about the 4th years leaving to start their own firm. I think this will be a very difficult transition, it will be interesting to see how things play out.

Diane and Robyn (Jess Weixler) are still working on the appeal case. Diane wears a Saint Laurent blouse ($1257.53). I found a few similar blouses, the first a coral blouse from Mango ($59.99), the second an American Apparel blouse ($42.99), and a fuschia blouse from JCP ($15.99):

Cary visits Alicia at home to find out what the partners know, putting her in the middle. She wears a Theory Jondi Jacket ($166) and I found a similar Boucle Jacket from the Gap ($88):
