On Repeat: Dreama Walker as "June" on Don't Trust the B in Apt 23

Dreama: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

Dreama: 1, 2, 3

I really loved this show and was so sad when it got cancelled. June had an especially attainable wardrobe with lots of dark jeans, pops of yellow, cardigans, and fun wedges. I love how wearable and easy the first look is with an unexpected leopard trench thrown over a fairy simple outfit. Her office looks were also great inspiration for 20-somethings wanting to look professional but still crisp and fashion-forward in the workplace. I was drawn to this one because of how fitted and unfussy it is. It would be great to wear to a meeting or even an interview (rather than the normal black-on-black look). I will miss this show's quirky humor... I must have re-watched the "you from Queens!?" episode a dozen times. Definitely repeat-worthy!

On Repeat: Zooey Deschanel as "Kit" in Failure to Launch


Book Look: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

This silly little movie is the perfect summer chick-flick. I love Zooey's quirky jewelry and interesting patterns mixed with simple black high-waisted shorts or boyfriend jeans. It's also super easy to get behind the idea of Champagne Thursday (which can land on any day, really...and that's convenient).

On Repeat: Yvonne as "Hannah McKay"


Look 1: Yvonne in Car, Yvonne, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Look 2: Yvonne, 1, 2, 3, 4

As my husband would say, only I would point out "how cute those boots are" during an intense scene on one of our favorite TV shows. 

We may be a bit behind, but nonetheless, Yvonne Strahovski is killin' it on Dexter (pun intended). I'm half scared of her and half envious. Her wardrobe as Hannah Mckay is sweet and carefree without looking too girly, which perfectly befits her character. The airy tops (with a black bra underneath to add some edge), denim, and ankle boots yield a lovely laid-back look. Great for a day in the sun, her hair usually has a slight beach-wave and she wears very little makeup (most likely a sweep of bronzer on the cheeks, light brown shadow with mascara, and a blush-tone lip). What's great is that many of us may have a lot of similar pieces in our closet already. All that's missing is a pink-spattered orchid and a gorgeous cottage with an adjacent flower nursery.
