Forever Hold Your Peace - Part 1 of 2 - Pre-Wedding

Season finale time! Adrianna realized she was still in love with Dixon, Annie realized she was in love with Caleb, Ivy realized she was in love with Diego, and Naomi realized she was still in love with Max. Nothing new. Annie decided to let Caleb go in order for him to continue being a priest, Diego got deported so Ivy took a flight to Mexico City to find him, and Liam and Navid continued to love Silver desperately. Oh, and in the land of MAJOR DRAMA THAT WE ACTUALLY KIND OF CARE ABOUT: Naomi ran into the church during Madison & Max's wedding, causing Max to leave Madison at the altar and make out with Naomi. Vanessa came back to Liam, saying that according to his contract she was still his manager and he had to go film Horrible Movie #2. Silver asks Teddy to be the father of her child, and Dixon is seen in a car crash in the last scene of this dramatic season.

Ivy starts off the episode rocking it as usual, staying faithful to her light sweaters and maxi skirts. Bonus: She looks like a sailor with the color palette, and she dared to wear a bright red skirt. 

I don't even want to deal with what Diego is wearing, but because he's not on screen much and is currently deported, but... is that like... a squid robot eating another squid robot? 

Meanwhile, Naomi represents blondes who own and use hairbushes, looking stunning as usual. She even outdid the bride... but maybe that was because the bride was too busy being hungover to attend her own wedding rehearsal. Naomi WOULD wear white on the day of another person's wedding. (Spoiler: it doesn't matter what she wears to the wedding, as she steals the show with her crazy dramz)

I absolutely love the stitching done on the arms and shoulders of this dress. With a little color in the shoes (blue and yellow), she's got it all right.

How cute is Silver's wrist tattoo? We've already seen her neck one, but this one popped up out of nowhere! 

And what superpowers does she have to where she can just sit at home in a baggy shirt and weird flower wrap and still look so good? Oh Silver, please share your secrets with me.

Liam's following Ivy's nautical look here in a little sailor stripey top = adorbs. But what is up with Adrianna? 

How has she not picked up any lessons from her fashionable friends? She looks so cute in sundresses, why does she have to wear outfits that aren't flattering on her?

For instance, check out Adrianna's fab friends (Diego excluded):

...actually, let's also skip over Ivy, who looks weather confused. How can she need pants AND a sweater when Annie's running around with bare legs? Caleb looks fresh and preppy and Annie's picking up on this week's striped theme. Seriously, she looks like a 1960s movie star. Stylish as always.

Naomi is looking uncharacteristically hot-mess-ish. She's usually a master of accessories, but this necklace both blocks and distracts from the cut of the shirt. And the weird black and white flower pattern on the skirt leaves me confused. 

But she gets snaps for her color-coordinated armload of bags.

Adrianna! Has she had a fashion intervention? Did she hear my advice from earlier in this post? When she pulls out her sundresses she looks like she belongs in her group of friends!

Plus, her hair is a-mah-zing. Like, Pretty Little Liars amazing. Being outside of the bar is clearly doing wonders for her.

Madison's look is almost too sweet for me to like her. She always wears baby doll dresses with delicate little expensive necklaces. 

 Side note: look at Naomi's skirt. Like I said, it's weird.

OK, Silver's maxi skirt + fedora + jean jacket combo = genius! 

Aww, she's going to be a great mama. Can't wait to see her baby's outfits! 

Call me crazy but... I was impressed with Vanessa's outfit. I REPEAT: I WAS IMPRESSED WITH VANESSA'S OUTFIT. Enjoy, because you will probably never hear me say that again. This dress is so much more fashionable than anything she's every worn that it shocks me!

OK, but that look on her face seriously resembles like The Joker.

Aaand... Adrianna's done it again! 

That sundress is 100% GORGESSITY. The neckline? The bordeaux colour? Her classic updo? Adrianna: never look anything less than this fabulous, ever. We beg of you.

Naomi's realized that tight dresses look good on her, so she definitely embraced that fact in this episode. I also admire her for wearing shoes like these in EVERY SINGLE EPISODE. Does she not get tired of running around in 6-inch heels all day??

However, her accessories are again a hot mess. But her gorgeous dress distracted me from her awful pharaoh neckpiece.

And OK, let's spend 30 seconds discussing the boys...

Plaid, checkers, checkers, plaid.

Navid, to his credit, isn't wearing plaid. But still nothing to write home about.

Seriously, it's the season finale, you guys. How could we go an entire episode without any male shirtlessness? Don't you know that's what keeps us tuning in?

Forever Hold Your Peace - Part 2 of 2 - Wedding Beauties

Here comes the bride! For 5 minutes. OK, riddle me this: Madison looks stunning in an amazing dress, Max looks dapper, even the officiant looks stylish, yet the bridesmaids' dresses are HIDEOUS. 

Why would anyone think that pattern would be pretty in a dress? Why do the dresses fit so oddly? Le sigh. It was a perfect wedding until I saw those dresses.

The wedding got even less perfect (for Madison) when Naomi arrived in her super-ferosh black suit! Was I the only one who heard the Mission: Impossible theme song when this happened? 

Naomi truly knows how to steal the show.

Poor Madison. She looked gorgeous at her wedding, and her curls and jewelry made her look like a princess.

Poor baby. She's so gorgeous, I'm sure she'll land back on her feet.

But let's talk about Annie, who nailed her second outfit this week. The studded, beaded color is a perfect contrast to the simplicity of her shirt and skirt. 

Seriously. Once you pry the goth Stevie Nicks pieces from her wardrobe, she knocks it out of the park on a regular basis.

And Ivy! Her style can be hit or miss, but this flower vest is a total win. It literally made my jaw drop I want it so much. Stunning!

Of course, her wavy, blonde hair and simple tee and jeans make this look even better. And no hats! Is this her first week without at least one unnecessary hat? Little girl's growing up.

Naomi's channeling some super-spy glamour with her "incognito" look. Love the colourful luggage, love the hint of leopart print, luuurve the silver convertible. 

And check out her gorgeous multi-finger ring (stolen from the ABC Family oversized ring warehouse?)

Squee! She got back together with Max! Mission: Accomplished.

Proof Max is truly the guy for her? This polka dot tie, which seriously made my day. No wonder she wouldn't let him go without a fight!

Silver's dress was beautiful, especially with the sexy side slit. And naturally, she has the cutest matching clutch to go with it. 

More Maison Scotch...

At the risk of ending all my 90210 recaps like this, I'll say it again: SILVER. I WANT TO BE YOU. Maybe if I say it enough, it'll come true.

BONUS: Navid wearing a purple button-up and looking so professional! This was definitely a stylish episode, all around.

A Tale of Two Parties - Part 1 of 2 - Girls Gone Mild

Naomi realized that she was in love with Max (again) and planned Madison's bachelorette party, devising a plan to make the little blonde look bad, only to realize that Madison is an innocent lamb. Madison's party included Adrianna singing about Dixon, Silver realizing she wanted a baby, Annie sitting around doing nothing, and Madison breaking an enormous fishtank while she was drunk. Max's bachelor party included some of Annie's ex-friends (aka escorts), Austin framing the blonde escort (what is her name?) for the sorority house fire, Caleb getting so drunk he danced on a pool table, and Navid and Liam incessantly fighting over Silver. Ivy was heartbroken that Diego was on the run, so she found him and decided that he should become a priest to escape the police. Oh, right. Everyone ended up at the polic stateion. Just a regular weekend in the 90210.

I had to start off the week with a great group shot. This happened around the time where Madison smashed a huge fish tank with a hammer and got arrested. Oopsie. Let's focus on the non-disasters: the slit in Silver's dress, the mini handbag Annie carried around, the fact that Naomi was wearing a PINK SUIT (and pulled it off), and Adriana's overlapping necklaces. Winners all around.

No, really. I cannot believe Naomi wore a pink suit. She has worn some craaaaazy outfits, but this is definitely one of her best. This could have gone completely wrong, but the black and white blouse she chose to wear underneath is was perfect. Also, she's the only one besides Blair Waldorf who can pull off a headband. Maybe it's a HBIC thing.

More Ann Taylor...

Adrianna looked adorbs for the first time in weeks. She chose colors that suited her skin tone well, and wore a messy bun and necklaces to complete the little innocent look she had going on. Silver wore all of her rings (as usual) and a printed dress that I didn't particularly like, but because she's Silver and everything looks good on her, I'll let it slide.

But Annie's dress was my fave. She decided to dress as a good girl to make up for Caleb's behavior (not so priest-like...), and I realized something -- Annie should cut her hair! About 5 inches shorter, and she would look more sophisticated and less schoolgirl.

Side note: Naomi's hair and ring had me drooling.

I have trouble being on Naomi's side when I see how cute Madison is with Max. The only consolation is that her outfits are no match for Naomi's. Her first outfit was average -- I loved the skirt, but hated the top. Her second one was... confusing. It was her bachelorette party, and she chose to wear an outfit that looked like it had been stolen from a Victorian painting. Lose the belt, cut the dress, and we MAY have an appropriate outfit.

Well, that covers everyone at the bachelorette party. Let's move on to-

Oh, right. I forgot Ivy.

Ivy decided to be the odd man out (as usual) and arrived wearing a leather jacket and hat only to leave wayyyy before the party ended. She didn't even get to go to the police station! Loser.

At first, I thought, "Ok, this could be a good outfit..." and then she turned around. What is that green dress? I'm confused. The fact that she's in love with Max may cloud her vision, but come on, she's Naomi Clark! She can do so much better than this.

Alright. Who is this girl? I can honestly say I always forget her name. But seeing as these were the three screenshots I managed to snap of her in the entire episode, I think it's safe to say it doesn't matter that I blanked on her name. She's now irrelevant. Buh-bye.

Much more memorable is this outfit from Annie. So annoyed I couldn't get a full body shot. The shirt was one of my favorites (it has beading on the collar!), and I halfway liked the sheer-short-long combo that was going on with her skirt. Shorts? Skort? Someone please help me out here.

Ya know, I've been looking for a new backpack for weeks. New mission: find the one Ivy wore on her hunt for Diego. Also, good thing we have surfer Ivy back with her floral patterned-dresses!

Silver made me smile, like she always does. She may be going through a crisis, but she really doesn't look like it. Yeah, this is a bit of a reverse-mullet skirt (party in the front, business in the back) but then she pilies on the jewelry and just looks so damn cute doing it.

Silver, I wanna be you.

A Tale of Two Parties - Part 2 of 2 - Boys Gone Boring

My two favorite photos from this week's episode were:

and

In the first one, everyone ends up in jail drunk/heartbroken/ashamed/angry/afraid, and in the second, Silver struts into Liam and Navid's cell to tell them she wants a baby. I'm proud of her for making such a bold statement and having this much self-confidence. Oh, the human drama!

I guess I HAVE to mention the guys' boring outfits...black button-up, plain white shirt (but no jeans!!!!), and checks.

Great. Now that that's done with....

...we are free to watch Caleb go downhill! And he was a priest, what? 5 minutes ago? Good job Caleb.

And while these two PRETENDED to be gentlemen...

...Max ACTUALLY looked and acted as one throughout the entire episode. I mean, come on, a tuxedo and giving up his jacket in the same episode? Max is on a roll!

He also managed to look nice at his bachelore party, while Navid and Liam tried and failed... and ended up more drunk than Caleb. Which is saying something.

And that's it. That's all I've got. Seriously boys, you've gotta give me more to work with. We've only got one more episode left before the summer...

Tis Pity - Part 1 of 2 - Fancy, Fancy

The best part of 90210 is that each and every character has got their own 'thang goin on...which keeps me forever and ever interested. Naomi thinks she going to take her mind off her broken engagement by planning a new client's event but ::gasp:: the event is actually a wedding. Annie and Holier Than Thou Caleb continue their close-to-platonic relationship even though Annie's "loins are frustrated." Silver is worried about cancer and then about being pregnant. Then there's Ivy tucked away in an insane asylum until her rule-breaking boyfriend breaks her out...imagine that? 

Of course Naomi has to wear high-waisted pants at some point during the episode. And you're surprised that she's oh-so-sophisticated. But then BAM! Her ENTIRE back is a net. Just a few criss-crosses to keep the back of that shirt together. It takes a brave girl to wear that during the middle of the day. 

Once again Naomi pulls off what most normal people can't: the shorts suit. But where exactly does she think she is? Girlfriend is inside her home yet wearing the floppiest, most sun-protecting hat one can find.

Is this not the coolest, prettiest, most artsy shot you've ever seen on a primetime teen soap? I'm literally obsessed. The inky blue of the pool contrasts so nicely with the fluffy white of Naomi's wedding dress. 

But then you see her face and the drained wine glass and you realize she's really, really sad...

But then she gets over herself and cranks it up with this emerald green one-should number and fierce pony. I bet she works that slit in her dress as well as Angelina...

This girl...Madison, right? I keep calling her that and then realize I wasn't 100% sure if that was her name. If not, Madison should be her name. But that's not important. She's just the perfect little socialite. Her clothes may be slightly too proper and WASPy for my taste but it definitely seems like she will be adding her dose of dramz to the last few eps of the season. 

Very recently, Annie has stepped it up in the wardrobe department, employing a spectacular range of classic yet trendy pieces. Take one: she has on a very trendy hi-lo skirt (which I have a severe cause of obsession with). Pairing it with a simple black, button-up top. 

Maybe her wardrobe is becoming too consistent? Upon first glance I thought this was the same outfit as above, but then realized this shirt has some sleeves and the skirt's color is more mustard-y yellow. I'm a true believer in when "something works, you work it" but this is a little too much. 

Then all is forgiven in this completely amazeballs dress. She's got the hi-lo thing going, cut-outs, lace-up the back and yet it doesn't even look trashy. That's a serious feat and I seriously want this dress. Like now.

Adriana wears yet another cute little sundress but countrifies it with a big ol' belt buckle. It's a solid 'meh'. 

For Liam's movie premiere, she takes the country out of her dress...OR is she putting more country in? I'm not a huge country fan so I'm not sure if this is something Carrie Underwood would wear or not. I'm thinking not, because there's not enough sparkle.

This was a jumpsuit. Yes, as in pants connected to the top. Silver can rock jumpsuits like nobody's business and luckily she's got the small boobs to pull off the low-cut front...and back. 

As for our movie star, doesn't Liam look so dapper in his blue suit? It's blue! Who knew he had a little fashionista in him?
