Television Party Dress of the Week: Jessica Lowndes in 90210

Jessica Lowndes Sequin Dress 90210This week 90210 broadcast its 100th episode. In addition to the return of West Beverly alums, Trevor Donovan (as Teddy Montgomery), Zachary Ray Sherman (as Jasper Herman), and Abbie Cobb (as Emily Bradford), we saw Jessica Stroup (as Erin Silver) perform racy burlesque and Arielle Kebbel (as Vanessa Shaw) arise from the dead. Big surprise there, right?

My favorite part of the “902-100” episode, though, was the silver V-neck dress that Jessica Lowndes (as Adrianna Tate-Duncan) wore to the West Beverly Homecoming event. The Parker Beaded/Quilted Dress is available exclusively at Intermix and sold for $259 (on sale from $368).

TV Fashion Moment of the Week: Mint Accessories

This week, two of television’s most charming schemers, Jaime King (as Lemon Breeland) of Hart of Dixie and AnnaLynne McCord (as Naomi Clark) of 90210, manipulated their ways in mint green accessories. Jaime King looked pretty in pastels in Shop Design Spark chandelier earrings while AnnaLynne McCord added a pop of color to her trench coat look with a Tory Burch mint bag. Buy King’s budget-friendly earrings or invest in McCord’s swoon-worthy shoulder bag.

Dress Crush: AnnaLynne McCord in McQ Alexander McQueen Dress on 90210

In yesterday’s 90210 “It’s All Fun and Games” episode, AnnaLynne McCord (as Naomi Clark) appeared in a gorgeous dark green cable cap sleeve dress. No wonder her husband’s partner, Trai Byers (as Alec Martin) couldn’t resist kissing her. The body-fitting chain-print dress is from Alexander McQueen’s edgy diffusion line. Buy the McQ Alexander McQueen Interlock Knit Cap Dress ($405) at Zappos Couture. Hurry up since the dress is available in limited sizes and is already sold out everywhere else.

Decor Crush: Joana Krupa’s Miami Pad

If I had a home in Miami (or anywhere seaside for that matter), I would want it to look like Joana Krupa’s. I’ve been getting sneak peaks of it on Bravo’s The Real Housewives of Miami, until I came upon these photos. I love the modern and sleek decor, the muted black and white color scheme, and the floral accents all throughout the house.

How amazing are the floor-to-ceiling windows and the panoramic view of Miami?

The gorgeous balcony that surrounds the living room. I would have placed chaises and bar stools and tables there.

My favorite corner of the house. The candles, the oversize vase, and of course the James Dean painting. Does anyone else think that Joana’s fiance, Romaine, kind of looks like James Dean?

Love the floral accents throughout the apartment.

The sleek bathroom with the spa bathtub.

Bedroom. Love, love, love the lamps and the carpeting.

I don’t love the walk-in closet just because it doesn’t seem to match the rest of the modern, clutter-free decor of the house. I would have imagined a home like her’s to have a white wood and glass walk-in with an island in the middle.

TV Dress Of The Week: Helmut Lang Cicadae Print Maxi Dress

Spotted! Helmut Lang Cicadae Print Maxi Dress on this week’s 90210 and Gossip Girl. First Jessica Stroup as Silver in 90210 donned a modified version of the draped dress to a wedding reception. An hour later guest star Sofia Black D’Elia as Sage (Nate’s new love interest and Serena’s boyfriend’s daughter!) wore the cowl neck perfection to a charity gala on Gossip Girl. I love the kaleidoscope of green on this dress and the sexy yet subtle side slit. Also how amazing is the high collar back? Buy the dress, currently on sale for $276.50 from $395, at Shopbop.
