Who We Style-Stalk: Zoe Hart

Tuesday, January 31st, 2012
by marla

The CW’s Hart of Dixie may not exactly be as fast-paced as The Vampire Diaries, or feature as much cute boys as Gossip Girl (Wade’s the only crush-worthy guy on this show—Mimi and I adore him!), but what it lacks in action and eye candy, it more than makes up for in style. I know I should stop watching too much television (a fortune cookie said so), but the clothes are so pretty I can always disguise my TV time as “style research.” Sounds legit, right?

Of course, I expected nothing less from Rachel Bilson, who is one of this generation’s biggest style icons. She’s got the whole polished-but-relaxed vibe down pat, and looks amazing about 99% of the time. I’m not sure if real doctors wear shorts and designer heels as often as she does, but you know what? I’ll buy it. Here are my five favorite Zoe Hart outfits:


I love that they show how her look progresses throughout the day—she’s always carrying around a black blazer or a classic leather jacket to throw on in the evening.


Updating the tee and jeans combo by going sheer and cropped, then adding killer booties and a skinny belt.


This retro-cool striped Equipment blouse sold like hotcakes when the episode aired!


Leather with leather? Yes, please! I love how she looks tough but still feminine.


Gorgeous red dress from my favorite episode so far, Hairdos and Holidays. (That Zoe-Wade scene at the end was priceless.)

Ever since I started following Glitter Guide on Instagram, I’ve been drawn to these darby loafers from J. Crew. Then, a local shoe company posted their own version. I’m thisclose to ordering a pair of Gold Glitter in my size, but I’ve been spending so much on trips that I have to restrain myself. So instead, I made a collage to curb my shopping urges. Haha!

On second thought, I don’t think that helped. AT ALL. Haha! I still want them. Eep.

Love,
Macy

What We Like: A Nice Flush

Friday, January 27th, 2012
by stephie

It all started with a comment from a friend telling me how pale and sickly I looked. And so I searched for weeks for the perfect blush. I tried so many products: creams, tints, powders, stains, but I failed miserably because they either made me look too orange (clownish) or too red (hangover much?). Finally, after weeks of searching, I found the product that gives me a nice, natural flush. :)

Dandelion is a sweet ballerina pink color, perfect for vampire-looking cheeks like mine. I love it because it’s hard to overdo and you’ll just look naturally rosy and pretty with its subtle shimmer. My friend has noticed that I no longer look pale or sickly so I guess it really does the trick! :)

Arguably the best part of my job is that essentially I am at the mall borrowing/returning/scoping out clothes for shoots like 60% of the time. So much so that it can sometimes feel like I shop for a living.

And then there’s the really terrible part where I actually do end up shopping for a living. Because do you think I have some kind of superhuman willpower where I can go pick out the cutest dress one day and then have the strength to give it back the next? I end up shopping during those trips A LOT.

Just this afternoon I went to borrow a few shoes from Ichigo in Greenhills and found myself walking away in a feverish daze with a new pair of black lace oxfords.

(not pictured: a blush colored bag I spotted on the way to Ichigo)

The point is: this has to stop.

It was cute while it lasted but as someone on the road to semi-adulthood, I should at least do myself a favor and forget to bring along my wallet once in a while.

It’s no secret that I have a huge huge huge accessories obsession.

Looking over a few of my recent purchases over the last few months, I have noticed that most of my buys tend to be grouped into one of the following 3 trends or categories.

Exhibit A: Dark, edgy, and slightly gothic-looking hardware

These remind me a lot of something a supervillain in a cartoon would wear.

Exhibit B: Fun, tribal-inspired, plastic accessories

The kind of knick-knacks I’d have picked up on field trips when I was in gradeschool!

Exhibit C: Striking, futuristic, neon stuff

I’ve found that these are super perfect for when you’re feeling lazy and don’t want to think about your outfit too much. The accessories pretty much do all the work for you!

What about you guys?

Do you sense a pattern growing in your closets as well?
