Black Leather Peplum top worn by Melissa Gorga from Real Housewives of NJ

Sorry been out of town and haven't had a chance to do any fashion or trend write ups in awhile.  Wanted to start off by saying I am sad that the Housewives of OC has ended but interested to see the show for Tamra's wedding and the new season of the Miami Housewives.  I live in South Florida so I enjoy watching it even though it isn't my favorite out of all the different cities.   I will have some write ups coming for some styles from the finale and more from the NJ housewives this weekend and early next week.

Last week I was in the Keys on vacation but I did get a chance to watch the episode while I was out of town and loved the top Melissa wore to the bar with Rosie, and crew.  It is a gorgeous leather peplum top and looked stunning on her.  I don't know for sure which one she was wearing but went searching on google and found a couple from high end, mid end and lower end.  I love to search for similar styles on a low budget and this week found a great comparison from Target.

First up is the one pictured above, it retails for $485.00 and is made by Theory.

I found the image and top for sale from Bergdorf Goodman.

Hope you find a comparable top in your price range.  I love seeing the styles and trends worn by the ladies.  I always enjoy looking for the same one they wore or close to, then showing comparable tops in different price ranges for everyone's budget.  Happy trend hunting and hope everyone is having a wonderful summer and has a great weekend.

Return of the Real Housewives of New Jersey tonight on Bravo

Tonight is the much anticipated return of the Real Housewives of New Jersey.  I like most of the series of Housewives, the only one I have never really gotten into is New York.  I enjoy the Orange County and New Jersey season's the most, but also like Beverly Hills, Atlanta and since I live in South Florida, Miami.  I got to watch the sneak peek last night of the New Jersey opener that airs tonight.  It starts out showing how hurricane Sandy hit New Jersey and then goes around with the wives as they check out their vacation homes on the shore of Jersey.  I think Theresa's husband is loving the fact he now is able to get work doing what he use to, construction.  I noticed he was wearing shirts with company name and plugging the company last night when I watched the sneak peek.

They then went on to roll the opening credits and then show Theresa at home with her daughter's cleaning out their closets and rooms.  It appears as though they are getting items together to donate to those who lost everything in the hurricane.  Tonight the full episode airs in a few minutes at 9 p.m.  I hope they wear some cute clothes so I can write up a fashion post.  If I know one of my favorite set of housewives like I think I do they should be wearing a lot of super cute things.  Usually everything is last season, since they tape these shows so far in advance, but this season must be from passed 5-6 months since it started before the holidays and I know they just closed taping not that long ago.  Fingers crossed.  Hope everyone enjoys the opening, I loved Melissa Gorga's Burberry rain boots.  Adorable.  Let me know if there is anything the ladies wore that you love.
