The Crazy Ones “She’s So European” Recap

November 3, 2013 by DetroitDuchess 2 Comments

If you haven’t heard, The Crazy Ones got picked up for a full season! Hooray! Now we get more Sarah Michelle Gellar!

In this week’s episode, Sydney (Gellar) has a girl crush on the firm’s sexy European client Helena (Saffron Burrows). To impress her, Sydney wears a Saloni Marie Studded Dress ($450) and Heather Hawkins Rose Gold Dagger Earrings ($45.41). I found a similar Michael Kors Stud Dress ($89.99) to recreate the look:

As they review her dating application Sydney learns way too much about her father’s sex life and it makes her uncomfortable. Helena tries to get her to loosen up and they go out for drinks later that evening, where Sydney finds out that Helena has taken Zach (James Wolk) as a lover. Sydney wears a black and white Parker beaded top ($199):

The next day at work is a little uncomfortable for Sydney after learning a little too much about Zach’s personal life. They are competing too see who is closer with Helena which prompts Sydney to drop by Helen’s hotel room where she is in for a rude surprise. Sydney wears a BCBGMaxAzria Andie Printed Top ($110.60):

Simon (Robin Williams) is also sleeping with Helena! This puts Sydney in an uncomfortable situation as she now has to break the news to Zach that he isn’t the only man in Helena’s life. She wears a Robert Rodriguez Printed Top ($165) and Kate Spade Drop Earrings ($48):

This leads to a very awkward situation with Helena as everyone feels uncomfortable. They end up deciding to keep their personal lives out of the office and go back to a completely professional relationship with Helena in order to keep her as a client. Sydney wears a Ted Baker Evvie dress ($295), JCrew Jackie Cardigan ($65) and a beautiful collared necklace. To recreate this look, I chose an Isaac Mizrahi Peplum Dress ($118) and this Sparkling Crystal Peter Pan Collar Necklace ($15.99):

The Crazy Ones “Breakfast Burrito Club” Recap

October 24, 2013 by DetroitDuchess Leave a Comment

This week on The Crazy Ones, we learned about the creative process. I loved this episode for calling out how difficult it is to come up with a great idea. Now, their creative process is a little different than mine, but I loved Sydney’s (Sarah Michelle Gellar) big creative binder. She really is the yin to Simon’s (Robin Williams) yang.

This was especially funny as she was supposed to take a vacation to Hawaii, which normal people would be excited about, but she tried every excuse in the book to avoid going. A workaholic by nature, she couldn’t stand to unplug and relax.

Sydney wears a Rebecca Taylor Prisma Flower Blouse ($159) and Peggy Li Black Diamond Threader Earrings ($89). I found this Kensie Peplum Blouse ($49.99) that gives you a similar look for less:

The night doesn’t exactly go as planned, but after a number of creative endeavors and an awkward kiss they eventually get to the big idea. Sydney wears a Gold Hawk Silk Tank ($160.65) and the Theory Gabe Blazer ($395). I found a similar Farr West lace trim tank ($45) and a Zara pinstripe blazer ($89.90):

The Crazy Ones “Bad Dad” Recap

October 15, 2013 by DetroitDuchess Leave a Comment

On this week’s episode of The Crazy Ones, Sydney (Sarah Michelle Gellar) finally learned how to drive. Simon (Robin Williams) and Sydney pitched AllState Insurance for a father/daughter campaign to talk about life milestones. After the pitch they realized that they didn’t really have a lot of these milestones and the ones they did have were sort of a mess. Sydney realizes that she wouldn’t trade any those crazy experiences, because they made her who she is.

The best part of the whole episode, at the end in the outtakes, where Robin Williams asks where she learned all of those Dukes of Hazzard moves and Sarah Michlle Gellar responds “Sunnydale.” LOVE IT!

Now, let’s get to the clothes! During the AllState pitch, Sydney wears a sold-out Hudson Printed Silk Top, a black Tuxedo Blazer ($89.98) and the Tania Green Onyx Earrings from Brooklyn Designs ($64) I found a similar colored blouse from Kenneth Cole ($60.99):

During the crazy driving lesson, Sydney wears a BCBGMaxAzria Print Top ($89.99), a black JCrew Sweater ($65) and Peggi Li Rosy Red Earrings ($89):

During the last scene, when Simon takes Sydney “camping” to make up for an unfortunate camping incident, she wears an off-the-shoulder Metro Chicago shirt from Sportiqe ($40):

The Crazy Ones “The Spectacular” Recap

October 9, 2013 by DetroitDuchess Leave a Comment

I love the dynamic between Simon (Robin Williams) and Zach (James Wolk), they are hilarious together. This week on The Crazy Ones, Sydney (Sarah Michelle Gellar) is tasked to come up with “a spectacular” for Windy Cindy Coffee.

I loved the premise of this episode, mostly because I am in the public relations business and am no stranger to the “spectacular” idea. No matter what client you are working with there is always pressure to surprise and delight them with big ideas. I’ve never had a big idea go as wrong as the Windy City Coffee event, but I couldn’t help but be impressed by the team’s quick thinking and turnaround with a new idea. All in a day’s work.

Sydney had some great outfits this week, the first is the Parker Pearl Silk Henley Top ($79.20) with a Rebecca Taylor jacket of which there are two different styles, a Matte Crepe Jacket ($395) and a Leather Trim Blazer ($256.67). I found a similar look for less blazer at Kohls for ($34.99). She also wears a black leather skirt – I found a faux leather skirt at Dillards for $29.40:

During the spectacular disaster, Sydney wears a Banana Republic Flared Trench ($225, ID Source: Possessionista), the Rag and Bone Harrow Booties ($495) and an adorable fedora. I couldn’t find a similar color/bow combination, but Nordstrom has a similar style fedora for $39. For similar booties for less, try the DV Jaxen Boot ($128.95):

At the final Windy City Coffee meeting, Sydney wears a winning Marc by Marc Jacobs Minetta Print Blouse ($248):

The Crazy Ones “Pilot” Recap

October 3, 2013 by DetroitDuchess Leave a Comment

I was more excited for The Crazy Ones to start than any other show this season. Why? Because of Sarah Michelle Gellar. I have loved watching Gellar since her Buffy the Vampire Slayer days. I find it funny that I am now going to recap her outfits from The Crazy Ones, because I used to do this during Buffy. I didn’t really id the original outfits, but I would try to find similar looks so I could recreate them.

The Crazy Ones is set at an ad agency in Chicago owned by father/daughter duo Simon and Sydney Roberts. They team is about to lose their biggest account, McDonald’s. I’m not sure if anyone else saw the irony in the writer’s choice of McDonald’s as the big client. As a small child, Gellar’s first commercial was for Burger King in which she criticized McDonald’s. The commercial even led to a lawsuit from McDonald’s.

I thought the pilot was fantastic. I LOVED the scene with Robin Williams and James Wolk singing the “drive through lovin” song to Kelly Clarkson…hilarious!

I love how Sydney (Gellar) saved the day (and the account) by singing to Kelly Clarkson. I thought this was extra special because she pretty much vowed never to sing on TV again after the Buffy musical. I like that working with Robin Williams seems to push her out of her comfort zone. Hopefully we’ll see more of that this season.

Now, let’s get down to the clothes: Sarah’s first outfit includes a Helmut Lang leather biker jacket (sold out) and a Ted Baker Orchid Print Top (sold out):

To recreate this look, you can try the INC Faux-Leather Motorcycle Jacket ($89.50) and this floral blouse from Vince Camuto ($19.99): She also carries a Tom Ford Jennifer Large Calfskin Shoulder Bag ($2990). You can check out this B. Makowsky Glove Leather Convertible Messenger Bag ($265) for a less expensive option: Her second outfit showcases a beautiful Rebecca Taylor Hawaii Zip Jacket ($174.99) and I found a Trina Turk hot pink blouse ($188) to go with it:

In the scene with Kelly Clarkson, Sydney adds an All Saints leather trench and a pair of Prada Pink Two Tone Suede Platform Peep Toes ($517.50):

I LOVED the Prada shoes, but unfortunately they don’t have them in my size anymore. If you love them to you can find a similar pair at DSW for $49.94:
