Mistresses “An Affair to Surrender” Recap

August 4, 2014 by DetroitDuchess Leave a Comment

As Mistresses kicks off this week, I wonder if Savi (Alyssa Milano) actually does any work. Every time she arrives at the office she seems to get called away immediately on some personal issue. Harry (Brett Tucker) and Savi finally find a buyer for the house and can move on.

Joss (Jes Macallan) starts the move in process with Scott (Justin Hartley) and he is wondering if she loves him back. She finally says the words and she doesn’t pass out, so that is a good start. We also find out that Scott owns a restaurant with a sexy supermodel and they want Joss to throw the grand opening. And of course she wants to bring in Harry as the chef. I don’t see why she can’t let him go for crying out loud!

Karen (Yunjin Kim) decides to break up with Jacob (Matthew del Negro) because she doesn’t want to stop seeing Anna. This woman is the queen of bad decisions!

April (Rachelle Aytes) can’t seem to let Daniel (Ricky Whittle) go, even though he is married.

Here are some of my favorite looks from this episode:

Joss

While Joss and Savi condo hunt, she looks great in the Rag & Bone Jefferson Blazer (sold out). I liked this Choies Blazer ($37.99) because it was a great color match:

As the girls come over to help Savi pack up the house, Joss wears the cutest shirt that says “Chardonnay. Late nights. Boys.” I’ve heard that you can find this shirt at Macy’s, but I also found this one at Spreadshirt for $29.40:

Joss meddled again in Harry’s affairs and her new restaurant owner wants to hire him as the head chef. He ultimately decides to take the job and she gets her way by keeping him from moving to Australia. She wears an Embellished Silk Tee by Rebecca Taylor (sold out). I loved that tee, but was able to find this INC Sequined Cap Sleeve Tee ($54.99), which gives you that same pop of sparkle:

Scott finally mans up and calls Joss out on her meddling with Harry. I don’t think she was listening though. Joss lounges around in the Splendid Marina Eyelet Stripe Tee ($31.99):

Savi

Savi also dressed to impress while condo hunting. She wears the Vince Dot-Print Silk Tank Top ($78) and the Stella & Dot Crosby Link Necklace ($128):

She ultimately decides to break escrow and keep the house. It will cost her a lot of money and she will have to buy out Harry, but you can’t put a price on home. Savi wears the Joie Masha Silk Top (sold out). I found a similar Masha Top ($218) in a different print, but its practically identical:

Karen

After she breaks up with Jacob, Karen has a hard time getting in touch with Anna after she misses her appointment. Karen wears an Alice + Olivia Two-Tone Leather-Collar Blazer ($208). This H&M Fitted Jacket ($39.95) is a good alternative:

Karen gets an address for Anna, but discovers that she lied and never even lived there. She finally has to reach out to Jacob for help in finding Anna and he figures out that this is the real reason she broke off their relationship. Karen wears a Karen Millen Cotton Jacquard Shift Dress (sold out). As an alternative I liked this Tahari Bateau Neck Sheath Dress ($76.80):

Anna finally shows up at Karen’s door and she thinks that Jacob wants to get back together with her…little does she know. Karen wore a Helmut Lang Tidal Printed Cowl-Back Top (sold out). I thought this Pam & Gela Sofia Tie Dye Tee ($125) was similar:

April

April has a hard time breaking things off with Daniel, but after her daughter tells her that sleeping with a married man is gross, she seems to take the hint. She wears a Joie Terabithia Blouse (sold out). I found this similar colored Sophie Max Solid Crepe Georgette Blouse ($52.80):

At the end of the episode Anna runs into Karen and Jacob together which I’m sure she will take well.

Mistresses “Why Do Fools Fall in Love?” Recap

July 31, 2014 by DetroitDuchess Leave a Comment

Mistresses kicks off this week with Karen (Yunjin Kim) running into Jacob (Matthew del Negro) and setting up a dinner date at her house. Joss (Jes Macallan) is having trouble dealing with Scott’s (Justin Hartley) breasty patients popping up everywhere they go. April (Rachelle Aytes) deals with trust issues and Savi (Alyssa Milano) lies to Dom (Jason George) and he confronts her.

Here are my favorite looks from this week’s episode:

April

April confesses to Karen that she doesn’t trust Daniel (Ricky Whittle), and I am of the mind to tell her to trust her gut. She wears a T-Bags Strapless Ruffle Maxi Dress (sold out). T-Bags has a similar Ruffle Print Maxi for $188:

Karen

I loved Karen’s outfit for her dinner date with Jacob. It’s the Robert Rodriguez Jersey Wrap-Stripe Sleeveless Top on sale for $85.

Savi

Savi’s lunch with Dom and Zack (Jason Gerhardt) doesn’t go well when he admits that he has feelings for her and things with Dom start to implode. Savi wore an Eliza J Lace Detail Stripe Ponte Knit Shirttail Dress ($54.47) and a Vince Vest – Laser Cut Trench ($260). This Indication by ECI Striped Crochet-Trim Ponte Shift Dress ($31.99) has more size options left. This Trouvé Moto Vest ($52.80) is similar:

After that revelation, Dom decides to put the brakes on his relationship with Savi, which I think is smart. Savi is all over the place and doesn’t seem to know what she wants. She wears the Joie Laurel Silk Chiffon Printed Pintuck Blouse (sold out). I found this Limited Printed Short Sleeve Blouse ($34.96) to recreate this look:

In the end, we discover that Daniel is actually married, but that doesn’t stop April from continuing the relationship. Joss takes things a little too far with Scott when a patient dies on the table, but they make up and Scott says the L word and asks her to move in with him. Karen seals the deal with Jacob, but we discover that the girl he broke up with is Karen’s patient!!!! Last but not least, Harry breaks the news to Savi that he is moving back to Australia.

Mistresses “What Do You Really Want?” Recap

July 27, 2014 by DetroitDuchess Leave a Comment

This week the Mistresses heat things up…starting with Karen (Yunjim Kim) crossing the line with her new boy toy, Harry (Brett Tucker) is ready to move on from Savi (Alyssa Milano), Savi is ready to have a baby again, April (Rachelle Aytes) is still adjusting to life at Lucy’s new school and Joss’ (Jes Macallan) relationship with Scott (Justin Hartley) is moving forward in spite of her relationship with Harry.

Karen

In the opening scene Karen is wearing a L’Agence Embellished Silk Tuxedo Blouse ($79.19), Milly Pencil Skirt (sold-out) and Michael Kors Graham Booties ($179.99). To recreate the look, I found this Adrianna Papell Sequined Silk Blouse ($99), L’Amour Nanette Lepore BodyCon Skirt ($7.99) and Tahari Chris Booties ($69.95):

Karen meets up with her new boy toy again (Brian Hallisay from The Client List) and they continue taking their relationship to the next level. What is she going to do when he wants to get to know the real her? She wears a Versace Buckle Strap Dress (unavailable). This Paper Dolls Black And Blue Bodycon Dress ($49) is similar:

Joss

I’m not sure I would wear a nice blouse to clean the silver, but that doesn’t stop Joss (Jes Macallan). She wears a BCBGMAXAZRIA Jaklyn Draped Front Top ($158) and Rag & Bone Hyde Jeans (sold-out). I found these Blank NYC Spray On Skinny Leather Detail Jeans ($88) to substitute:

April

April has to return a Gucci purse that Lucy got at a sleepover at her friend Payton’s house. She wore a Pilcro Avie Denim Jacket ($128):

I loved April’s blue floral dress that she wore for dinner with Payton’s mom and found this similar ASOS Blue Floral Pencil Printed Body-Conscious Dress ($87.06):

I love April’s face in this screen cap, which is her reaction to finding out about Samantha and Steven’s open marriage. She is wearing a red Trina Turk Imma Jersey Halter Top (only available in charcoal). For a similar look for less try this Michael Stars Women’s Jersey Halter ($48.96):

Savi

Savi receives her final divorce papers while at work and wants to skip marriage with Dom (Jason George) and just get to the baby. She wore a Vince Silk Panel Tee ($106):

What did you think of this episode? Dom will definitely react to seeing Savi with another man…and Karen meeting up with Jacob (Matthew del Negro) is interesting.

Mistresses “Playing with Fire” Recap

July 21, 2014 by DetroitDuchess Leave a Comment

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:

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:

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:

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:

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:

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:

Mistresses “Friends With Benefits” Recap

July 11, 2014 by DetroitDuchess Leave a Comment

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:

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.

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:

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:

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:

Mistresses “Open House” Recap

June 23, 2014 by DetroitDuchess Leave a Comment

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: In dealing with Toni (Rebeka Montoya) Savi wears the sold-out Marissa Webb Sonia Top. This Vince Camuto Lace Blouse ($99) is similar: 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): Savi 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:

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: 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:

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:

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

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: April 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:

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:
