During a preview of tonight's episode of the Bachelorette I snagged this screenshot because this picture combines two of my favorite things. Emily Maynard fashion. And Joie.

So basically what I'm trying to say is that this picture is like the Reese's Peanut Butter Cup of fashion.

You stuck your Emily Maynard in my Joie.

Jennifer Love Hewitt's lace maxi in Client list

2012-05-25T11:02:00.000-05:00

Jennifer Love Hewitt's long white lace eyelet maxi

exact: Vintage, Costume Designer Dorothy Amos' personal collection

Similar: Philosophy by Alberta Ferretti lace trim maxi

Hey Possessionista , Can you help me find a white lace dress that J. Love wore on episode 4 of The Client List? I LOVE it.
Thanks a lot. Norah

Sometimes I will fall in love with a dress, or a shirt. And even though I know it's not flattering or right for my body, I will purchase it and wear it with pride.

And that's how I feel about this dress that Jennifer Love Hewitt wore on the 4th episode of The Client List.

Costume designer Dorothy Amos tailored this vintage dress from her personal collection to show off JLH's tiny frame and enviable curves. (She admits JLH is just about the only person in the world who could pull this dress off.)

With it's high neck, it's long length and it's sheerish silhouette, this dress is Little House on the Prairie meets my 3rd grade night gown. I literally can't think of a silhouette that would be less flattering on my figure.

And yet, I love it so much there is nothing that would keep me from buying this dress.

Except maybe its $1400 pricetag.

Kristin Cavallari baby shower black maxi

2012-05-25T05:23:00.000-05:00

T-Bags Los Angeles, Delphine Hi-Lo dress

Fall 2012 collection, $198

(available July 30)

So I'm not even pregnant, but I'm loving the black maxi dress Kristin Cavallari wore to her baby shower. Any clue where to find it? Thanks! -Claire

Since no one else will do it, I'm going to address the elephant in the room.

Kristin Cavallari is getting fat.

Sure her arms and legs are still impossibly thin. Her hair is bouncy. She has an undeniable glow. But underneath that fabulously shapeless dress Kristin is hiding a secret.

And it rhymes with Shmunkin Shmonuts.

Seriously. If I were a lesser person I might even start a rumor that Kristin Cavallari is pregnant.

The former Hills mean girl was spotted out and about in Los Angeles in this gold and black maxi dress.

No doubt trolling for donuts and a Dunkacino.

Time for an intervention, KC. And not a moment too soon. Bikini weather is just around the corner. That's like your awards season, right?

*editors note: Yes. This is a joke. I know Kristin Cavallari is pregnant. But you can wear this dress to hide your little munchkin. Or a dozen Munchkins.

Emily Maynard's yellow blazer on E News

Emily Maynard's yellow jacket on E!

Zara

Hi Dana, Any idea where Emily's yellow jacket is from this shot on Enews today?
Thanks! Penelope

Emily Maynard. She's just like us.

She wakes up in the morning and puts on her Zara blazer one arm at a time.

Oh, and then she appears on E! News Daily, Good Morning Los Angeles, Kelly Ripa, bakes cookies, coaches Ricki's soccer game, makes dinner, tucks her daughter in, throws on an Herve Leger bandage dress to attend a black tie gala and rounds out her night with an interview with Jimmy Kimmel.

Yep.Emily Maynard. Just a regular, single mom.

Just like us.

Kelly Ripa's blue lace long sleeve dress

ASOS angel eye lace dress, $43.00

@KelliTennant: I HAVE to have @KellyRipa dress from the show today. Omg.” YES. Help @Possessionista?

I don't generally watch the news.

The way I see it, if something important happens in the world, it'll happen on Twitter.

But this morning, someone asked me to ID Kelly Ripa's blue long sleeve lace dress. Kelly's Live fashion is sponsored by Neiman Marcus and I'm 99% sure the dress is by Diane Von Furstenberg - you can confirm it on her site tomorrow.

But in the meantime, if you're just as impatient about your Kelly Ripa fashion as you are about your news cycle, I spotted this nearly identical version on ASOS.

Details at 11.

Emily Maynard bachelorette makeup and beauty

If you want to see a person's flaws put them in a tense situation.

Or film them in HD.

But put her under both and Emily Maynard is still near flawless.

In part thanks to the makeup artist at The Bachelorette, Gina Modica, who filled me in on Emily Maynard's most recent rose ceremony makeup.

Nordstrom Half Yearly Pretty Little Sale

Hanna's pink jeans

Elizabeth and James. Nordstrom Half Yearly Sale

Patience, like saving yourself for marriage and a good wardrobe, is a virtue.

So while you're not supposed to covet thy neighbor's anything, I'd be lying if I didn't say I've been coveting Hanna from Pretty Little Liars pink jeans all week.

Apparently the shopping Gods don't frown too strongly on my sins, because today is the Nordstrom half-yearly sale - kind of like the high holidays for Possessionistas.

And there, nestled between Rachel from Glee's Marc Jacobs finch dress, Kate Middleton's coral jeans Serena VanDerWoodsen's Gryphon trench and Alex from Happy Endings' Free People sweater, were the pink jeans marked down 40%.

Sometimes it feels good to be a heathen.

Check out the Nordstrom half-yearly sale and let me know what you're coveting. (I'm buying every Equipment blouse and print jean available.)

Emily Maynard's turquoise ring cookie date

2012-05-23T08:27:00.000-05:00

Emily Maynard's two stone turquoise ring

Robyn Rhodes , $95

Do you know what ring Emily was wearing with the blue top on the cookie date? Thanks.

In a recent interview Emily Maynard confided that if any of the 25 suitors from her season had approached her in every day life, she might have been like, "thanks but no thanks." So the important lesson to take away from the Bachelorette is sometimes you have to keep an open mind.

The same can be said for this turquoise ring Emily Maynard wore on her date to make cookies with Ryan "I keep a stenographer's notebook in my hair" Bowers.

I know many of you have a preconceived notion about the ring you think you want. It's gold. And turquoise.

And exactly what Emily Maynard wore on her cookie baking date with Ryan on the Bachelorette.

But sometimes when you keep an open mind, it turns out that something you might not have considered is exactly what you've been missing all along.

At least when it comes to Emily Maynard's bachelorette fashion.

Shop the Shows: Girls, Gossip Girl and Hart of Dixie

2012-05-23T06:32:00.000-05:00

With a majority of my must-watch shows having wrapped last week, I found myself waxing nostalgic for some great primetime fashion inspiration.

Without the company of Blair, Serena, Zoe and Rachel Berry, I looked to my real life friends at Stefani Bags to fill the hole (in my closet) usually reserved for my make believe besties.

Accessories are one of the most important parts to any outfit. A good shoe, hat or handbag is as important to the overall character of the girls of 90210, Jane by Design or Pretty Little Liars as their dialogue, so here are three accessory style guides inspired by a few of my favorite shows. And made attainable by one of my favorite online boutiques.

Ray Ban Aviators on Ideeli

2012-05-22T11:41:00.000-05:00

Ray Ban Aviators via Ideeli

It's no secret, I'm a bit of a sunglasses hoarder.

If there's one pair that is my go-to day after day it's my Ray Ban aviators. In fact, my favorite pair aren't even mine - they belonged to my husband's ex-girlfriend. I found them in a box while we were dating and I claimed them as my own.

I know. Weird.

Anywho, it's seriously spring, and so I thought there was no better sign that it's time for a new pair of shades for you than today while Ideeli has Ray Ban on sale.

Whether you want to keep them for yourself. Or leave them for your boyfriend's future wife.

Pretty Little Liars Fashion: Season 3 Preview

Hanna's fringe front dress

Zara

I got a sneak peek at the all new season of Pretty Little Liars, and I have to admit of all the mysteries I hope to expose, the one that's most pressing to me is "what happened to Hanna's hair?"

My sources tell me that there was an incident with a hat. And bleach.

And so while I hope Mona gets all the help she needs, I can't help but hope that Ashley Benson's hairstylist befalls a similar fate.

Pretty Little Liars returns June 5th.

Last week, I got a gentle suggestion that I take it easier on Emily Maynard.

Which I promptly ignored.

But in all truth, I adore Emily Maynard. She has always been a huge supporter of Possessionista, and once gave me a scolding when I didn't make enough fun of her.

So I'm taking my cue from Emily and I'm going to continue some lighthearted Maynard mocking.

And equally I will make fun of roughly 40% of you who try to pull off this dress with the same ease as Emily Maynard.

(And Emily, if you are reading this, you know I kid because I care. And I'm jealous of your shoes)

Bachelorette Fashion Episode 2 Emily Maynard

2012-05-21T21:34:00.002-05:00

Tonight on the Bachelorette, Emily Maynard found herself on a date with a frog and a pig.

And I'm not even talking about the guys from the two-on-one date.

With more sequins than an entire season of Toddlers and Tiaras, Emily Maynard sparkled onscreen tonight. She was likeable, intelligent, and said the things that I've often yearned for Bachelorettes to articulate: that this isn't just a game.

It's also a fashion show.

So Low

Hi Dana love ur blog. Is there n e way u can ask solow to sell more of Emily's pink dye long sleeve top? Love it so much and I'm sure many other ppl do too! Thanks :) Chantel

If Emily Maynard's life were a movie it would be called "Field of Seams."

If she wears it, they will come.

Last week, Emily's pink tie dye sweatshirt from the Bachelorette premiere sold out faster from both So Low and Bloomingdales than you can say "ostrich egg."

But lucky for you, So Low wants Emily to find love almost as much as they want you to find this sweatshirt, so they're recutting a limited number of Emily's pink tie dye top, exclusively for Possessionista readers.

To preorder, click here. Delivery is estimated for mid-june.

Emily Maynard is such a good mom.

She bakes cookies for her daughter. Cheers her on at her soccer games.

And she and Ricki can even share clothes.

Don't believe me?

This morning on Live with Kelly, Emily Maynard rocked a teeny, tiny blue romper that I'm pretty sure came straight out of Ricki's closet.

Of Two Minds Delia Dress

I'm only slightly ashamed that I bribed my 4 year old with chocolate chip pancakes if he'd let me watch Good Morning America instead of our usual Disney rundown this morning.

So you can imagine my distress to turn on my TV to tune into Emily Maynard on GMA, only to find Bruce Willis taking up prime real estate on my flat screen.

And my toddler covered in melted chocolate.

Fortunately this is a new season of the Bachelorette, which means our heroine Emily Maynard isn't shying away from the media - traditional or social - and she tweeted out this picture of her on set of Good Morning America.

And even though I missed the segment, I recognized the dress from when Rachel Bilson wore on Hart of Dixie.

Which was lucky, because I don't have time to search for it.

I have a kitchen to clean.

Keeping secrets is not one of my strengths.

So if you're having an affair with your horse trainer, or wearing glitter slingback pumps on tonight's Bachelorette, you'd best keep that information to yourself.

Lest I spill your dirty laundry to the World Wide Web.

A few weeks ago, I revealed Emily Maynard wearing this one sleeve lace dress on her first one-on-one date, and it's been killing me ever since to keep her shoes (and her date) under wraps.

Tonight the date will be revealed. And her shoes?

Well that secret's out now, too.

While everyone else is trying to guess who they think Emily Maynard is going to pick each week, I play my own version, trying to guess which item of Emily Maynard fashion you guys are going to want most.

This week, I'm torn between one of Emily's more casual pieces (you'll see tonight) and a dress I first revealed as a Bachelorette spoiler.

Since Emily's pink tie dye sweatshirt sold out faster than Grandy's run on the Bachelorette, I thought I'd give you a sneak peek into one of my favorite Emily Maynard fashion moments from Monday's episode of the Bachelorette.

Don't forget to tune in tonight for the rest of Emily Maynard's episode 2 Bachelorette fashion.

Rachel Pally Isela dress

Do you have any idea where Kourtney Kardashian got her white tiered maxi dress she was seen in yesterday from? Wondering if it's a maternity dress? - Alison

Oh hey, Allie from The City. Why so glum?

Is it because Kourtney Kardashian looks so much better than you in this dress?

I'd be pissed too if she looked this cute in this dress with a bun in the oven.

And I hadn't eaten carbs since the 90's.

Teresa Guidice tie dye dress pool party: Real Housewives New Jersey

2012-05-19T08:09:00.001-05:00

hi, do you know who makes teresa's yellow maxi dress she wore at the pool party on RHNJ?? Thnx! - Natalie (Go like Possessionista on Facebook and you could see your requests here too!)

The problem with the Real Housewives franchise, if I may wax poetic for a mo', is that it can villainize anyone. (Can I get a high five Jill Zarin?)

What once was a glimpse behind the velvet curtain into lives of wealth, excess and luxury we could only dream of, is now just a 45 minute screaming match between women trying to live a life they can't afford, and reducing each other to nothing for sport. It's like Hunger Games in rhinestone jeans. (I'm looking at you Alexis Bellino.)

In season one, we lauded Teresa Guidice for flipping a table and calling Danielle Staub a prostitution whore. (Okay, it was a little redundant, but who knew that little marble loving Jersey princess had such impressive upper body strength?) but now it's like watching the clock, waiting for Teresa to sing her swansong to sanity and dive headfirst into Celebrity Rehab.

I hope they offer a hefty paycheck, because dresses like this don't come cheap.

90210 Fashion: Forever Hold Your Peace

2012-05-18T12:08:00.000-05:00

You know, 90210 is nothing if not subtle.

I mean, that kind of foreshadowing. First Ivy's husband dies. Then Ivy tries to kill herself.

Annie kills someone. Then she takes someone's faith.

Silver thinks she's pregnant. Then learns she wants to be.

Naomi gets dumped by her soulmate, only to find her soulmate what the guy she cheated on.

And then there's Dixon. First he dates a trainwreck.

Then he's in one.

Bravo 90210. It was your best season ever.

And I say that without an ounce of irony.

First of all, are you watching Girls on HBO? It kills me. And I HAVE to find out where one of the characters (jemima kirke) pants are from on last night's episode-who else can help me but you!!! - Carolyn

You know there's all this contro about Girls and its bad sex. But the truth is, I notice nothing but it's brilliant writing.

"I don't lose weight in my stomach. I lose weight in my face."
"Rent is due." "I'm pre-cancerous."

But I was momentarily distracted by the dialog because of Jessa's pants, which costume designer Jenn Rogien told me they're Zara.

Cougar Town fashion: It'll all work out and Square One

2012-05-17T11:44:00.000-05:00

When it comes to Cougar Town, I've got bad news and good news.

The bad news is the cul de sac gang is moving.

The good news is they're moving to a new home on TBS in 2013.

Which is a relief, because with all of Laurie's crazy ass colorblocking, and Jules' collection of delicate gold necklaces and body hugging sundresses, it'd be a real waste if they'd ended up homeless and had to hang their wardrobes on a clothing rack under a highway overpass.

Little Wish by Possessionista for La Soula

Little Wish by Possessionista for LaSoula

diamond necklace/wrap bracelet, $95

nuggent necklace/wrap bracelet, $35

I have to admit, as a child of the 80's, I'm a big fan of the return of neon. (I had a hell of a jelly bracelet collection in my day.)

But as a grown up of the 10's, I'm also a big(ger) fan of diamonds.

No doubt you already know about my adoration for LaSoula (to wit, I gave one to Emily Maynard for good luck on the Bachelorette which she wears all the time.) so I was thrilled when my friends at LaSoula invited me to design a Little Wish all my own.

I thought it would be fun to incorporate this season's neons in a wearable way (no neon jeans for moi) and this versatile necklace doubles as a wrap bracelet (pictured above)

The necklace is available with a diamond bead ($95) and without ($35)

Think of it as your beloved neons all grown up.

Each LaSoula is made with love by hand. Please allow 7-10 days for delivery.

The Client List: Jennifer Love Hewitt's draped pink jacket

Theory Kanya Leather Jacket, Saks Fifth Avenue

Hey Possessionista! Can you help me find this light pink jacket J. Love wears on the latest episode of The Client List? I LOVE it. - Natalie

Jennifer Love's character on "The Client List" is proof that just because you're a hooker doesn't mean you have to dress like one.

With her luxe threads and amazing hair, I haven't seen such a classy Lady of the Night since Viv went shopping on Rodeo Drive in Pretty Woman.

And in this leather jacket, Jennifer Love Hewitt's character will fit right in at the Reg. Bev. Wilshire.

For business, or pleasure.
