The Big Day - Part 1 of 2 - Let Them Wear Cake

2012-05-17T18:30:52Z

On the day of the Breeland-Tucker wedding, a storm hits Bluebell forcing George and Lemon to relocate the wedding and Wade and Zoe to take cover in a barn. In a surprising (yet, let's face it, utterly predictable) chain of events, George calls off the wedding to confess his love for Zoe... just after she finishes sexytime with Wade. Talk about bad timing. HoD's first season finale follows CW's formula to a T: a disastrous wedding + a love triangle with a bunch of hot people + exposed male body parts just because - believability = one hell of a season finale.

The episode opens with a dream. Because, you know, we don't get to see that a lot anymore:

For a second, I thought George was wearing a cardigan with shoulder pads. Which, though nightmarish, is at least more interesting than what he's actually wearing.

Why, in George's dream, do Lemon and Zoe both wear excessive amounts of jewelry? It doesn't really bother me that much; I'm too distracted by their textured wedding dresses.

They look like they're wearing mounds of cake frosting.

Not necessarily a bad thing.

Also, why, in George's dream, does Lavon dress super fab in a white tux?

It's time to give up when your nemesis dresses more fashionably than you even in your dreams.

Lemon calls George, interrupting his pre-wedding jitters dream and looking wedding-ready straight out of bed. Wow, this is the first time Lemon's hair isn't "done" and my hair will STILL never look as good as this.

Zoe, desperate to make up with Wade, comes bearing gifts of creme brulee coffee (does that really exist?) in this amazing red textured jacket.

I honestly cannot even deal with how cute this outfit is. It hurts just looking at it: red jacket, white tie blouse, leopard print belt, black trousers and platform booties. And that bag! GOOD LORDDDD. Perfect for objecting holy matrimony.

More Alexander Wang...

Unfortunately, this outfit won't help her win George back. Though after seeing the wedding photography, maybe that's a good thing...

Lavon comes to warn George of a storm while wearing possibly his most fashionable outfit of the entire series:

Seriously, Lavon. You're killing it. Head-to-toe. Killing it.

Even Swan agrees.

"What?? ...I swear, I style myself."

Back at the Breeland estate, the bridal party awaits Lemon's arrival. Magnolia prepares for her maid-of-honor role by wearing this pale yellow 3D dress.

This dress is a homerun. Look at the back:

Cricket, on the other hand, prepares for the wedding by gluing a bunch of Skittles to a terry top.

A storm hits Bluebell, just as Lavon predicted, and the bridesmaids struggle to keep Lemon from finding out. Magnolia dons this over-the-top flower headpiece, which reminds me of what I wore to my cousin's wedding as a flower girl in 1993.

1993?!!?!?!?!?!?!

Whoa, sorry, Lem. I heard the 90s were coming back...?

The Big Day - Part 2 of 2 - Zoe vs. Wade's Abs: Lightning Round

2012-05-17T18:29:30Z

Zoe drives to Mobile to do some shopping and, of course, avoid the Royal Wedding. On the way back to Bluebell, she picks up Wade, whose car has broken down. They somehow end up in a barn, soaking wet with a bunch of a goats.

CW. Seriously. You really know how to write a show.

At this point, we know Zoe and Wade are gonna get it on. The question now is when. Wade shows off his arms in possibly HIS most fashionable outfit of the entire series.

Look, I know, I know, it's just a wifebeater and jeans but he always wears plaid and-- oh, forget it. IT'S THE BICEPS.

Zoe doesn't look too upset being stuck in a barn with Biceps. She looks super cute and all smiley in her very see-through white blouse.

Too bad his focus is on another girl:

Back at the bridal party, Annabeth tries to cheer Lemon up in this fantastic taupe pink feather dress, flower earrings and statement necklace.

I am a little confused about her hair though. It's still in the prep process... right?

Hm. I guess we'll never know.

A baby goat escapes the barn and Zoe and Wade run out to rescue it. Wade helps out by taking his shirt off:

I take back what I said before. THIS is Wade's most fashionable outfit of the entire series.

Do you think this episode is available in IMAX 3D?

George scrambles to make the wedding happen but even this AMAZING, FANTASTIC, BEAUTIFUL, SERIOUSLY GORG Monique Lhuillier dress cannot save it.

Talk about cake frosting. Lemon looks AMAZING.

Here is a closer look:

LOVE LOVE LOVE. And she even added one of her fav hair pieces!

After a heated fight and tons of sexual tension, Wade returns to his house to get ready for the wedding in, for realsies, his most fashionable outfit of the entire series:

Looks so dapper. Never thought that was possible.

Don't you think, Zo?

Oh. Okay.

Knock, knock. There's five minutes left in the episode. WHO COULD THAT BE?

I see that George is trying to pull off a "Wade" right now but he just looks gross and sweaty. I mean, not EVERYONE can pull off looking hot in the rain. It's a skill.

It's also a skill to lie on a bed looking like you're posing for a nude, oil painting.

"Boy, am I in trouble."

And there you have it: a traditional CW season finale. Which means, tons of storyline doors are open for business next season. Lemon and Lavon are a possibility again, Zoe will have to choose between two super hot guys and two super hot guys will have to compete for Zoe's heart. Though, in this episode alone, there is simply no competition. That is if Zoe's only requirements are looking hot in the rain, looking hot without a shirt on and looking hot on a bed after sex. In that case, piece of cake.

Disaster Drills & Departures - Part 1 of 2 - Black and White and... Cream?!

2012-05-10T12:52:40Z

Welcome back loyal readers, how's your Hart feeling this week? Blue? Red? Chartreuse? This week's episode started with the blame game, as Zoe blamed herself when one of her friends faced a health crisis and she didn’t notice the symptoms (c'mon doc!) Meanwhile, with much encouragement from Lavon, Wade explores the idea of opening his own bar in Bluebell (I suggest the name "Wine 'Em Dine 'Em"). Meanwhile, Lemon plans a romantic night for George, hoping to get their Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom[ed] relationship back on track. Got your defibrillators ready? Then let's go!

Here we have two generations of Harts, but only one fashionista. With Pappy Hart donning the 1980's online dating video mustache and a serious case of dad-clothes, it makes us wonder where Zoe got her fashion sense from. In her go-to black and white getup, Zoe simply stuns.

Let's take a closer look at that coat, which is almost as long as her doctors coat. Oh, idea! She should def start wearing that in her office from now on. In fact, cough-cough, I'm suddenly feeling sick...

But from a futher away view we see her shoes - and I'm just sort of "eh" on them. I know she's breaking her black-or-white method - but maybe she could've worn neutral shoes that wouldn't compete with the coat?

More Alexander Wang...

Sans-future-lab-coat, Dr. Hart shows off (in my humble opinion) her best assests in her killer tight leather skirt. Meanwhile, we have Annabeth in a nice floral dress, but it doesn't really take any chances now, does it? In the eternal words of Miranda Hobbes, "You gonna lose some to win some!"

How many variations of black and white does Zoe have in her wardrobe? She kind of reminds me of that girl from Seinfeld who always wore the exact same outfit.

"Hi, this is Zoe Hart, is Matt Solyst there?... Hi Matt - yeah I read your You Know You Love Fashion recap about me always wearing black and white, and I just wanted to let you know that I am currently wearing blue jeans and a cream colored jacket, so SUCK IT!"

Click.

I done been told, y'all.

Disaster Drills & Departures - Part 2 of 2 - Heart to Hart

2012-05-10T12:52:31Z

OK, I just got off the phone with Zoe and after our little Heart-to-Hart, I'm just going to focus on the other charcaters now...

Here we have Dr. Brick, looking his Sunday Southern best. I'm liking his blue dress shirt, but he needs another color to offset the khaki overload. Something up the alley of J. Peterman maybe?

And here we have the non-Zoe gang, just hanging out. More on Lemon and Magnolia in a second - let's look at George's outfit. Is his band about to open for The Black Keys? Is he moonlighting as a bouncer at a seedy crossroads bar? Or is be the new model/spokeperson for the V-neck top?

Love the color flow on Lemon here - we go from a lovely cream top, to a yellow skirt, and finally ending at a gold purse worthy of Serena van der Woodsen.

"Hello, is this Matt from YKYLF? I just want to say thanks for trashing Zoe in your previous post!"

"This is Matt, but I wasn't that harsh on her. In fact, I usually like her black and white outfits."

Akward pause.

"Oh... I see..."

Even more akward pause.

If Lemon and Magnolia were having an outfit-off, then poor Magnolia stands no chance. It's not that she looks bad or anything, she just looks so... safe. Having the same problems as the beforementioned Annabeth, Magnolia needs to try and step it up a notch.

That being said, upon closer look - Magnolia does indeed look very cute here. I think I would just like her more if she lost the pink coat or tried something less conservative (while remaining, of course, Southern and classy.) PS: props to Magnolia on the subtle yet stylish necklace.

Speaking of subtle, on the deepest of opposite days, we have Shelly in her... whatever the heck outfit this is supposed to be. It's patriotic, I'll give her that, but it also looks like she's wearing a picnic table cloth for a skirt, and I'm not talking about her apron.

And...are those studs on her shirt? I imagine that accidentally running into her would really hurt.

But wait, here to save the good people of Bluebell from spiky servers (and harsh recappers) is...

Lavon! In strides our reliable mayor, in his typical save-the-day fashion. Like Superman's red cape, the flash of fashionable fedora means that help is on the way. Sigh. You guys? The streets of Bluebell are safe again.

The Race & The Relationship - Hint: Both Include Speedbumps

2012-05-03T12:34:42Z

Well, there was definitely a race this week. The relationship(s)? Not so much. Pretty much everyone was either breaking up, fighting, revealing feelings, hiding feelings, misreading signals or some combination of those. Every couple (or every two people that aspire to be a couple) in town participated in the popular annual race, attempting to win $5,000 - Lemon and George, on the advice of their minister, joined the race for "marriage counseling", and Wade asked Zoe to be on his team because of her book smarts and killer whipstitch (although we all know that he really wants her to be his teammate in the sack). Once the racing started, it quickly became less a field day of fun and more a field day for feelings - all the pent up barbs and opinions came out to play! Then Rose's appendix burst there was so much drama. See? This is why I avoid races, and all athletic activity in general - racing causes physical and emotional scarring - here's the proof!

We first see Zoe in this episode rolled fresh out of bed when George comes by with a coffee to discuss their kissing the night before. Naturally (and completely unrealistically), Zoe just happens to be wearing a gorg pair of silk pj's:

I'm sorry, I thought your name was "Zoe" not "Zooey". So, you BOTH have cute PJs now? Where are you getting them, and furthermore, why do you look so good lazing around in said PJs?! I look more like an extra for Trailer Park Boys when I am hanging around in my loungewear. Just when I was getting excited about the PJs - and the fact that George and Zoe might be finally heading to coupledom - he tells her he thinks they should just be friends for now. Hm, maybe you should have gone more Zooey with your PJ choice, Dr. Hart.

She is looking much more polished later walking through town in this tribal-print romper (I think it's a romper?):

This print and colour are SO Zoe, aren't they? This rockin' spiky necklace is "oh so Zoe" too:

The necklace is slightly tribal also, which goes great with this graphic print. That sad expression definitely doesn't match though - but I would probably look a bit down if the guy I was in love with told me that he decided to go to counselling with his estranged fiance. Falling for emotionally unavailable men? That is SO Zoe!

Speaking of the counselling - normally I would say Lemon needs some serious therapy to break away from her obsession with old-lady outfits, but I actually do not mind the white lace dress she wears to the Minister's office for her and George's first "session":

This has a vintage feel to it, as opposed to just an OLD feel. I like the addition of the painted-on red lip - if only the smile underneath weren't so painted on, too. It's an appropriately "virginal" dress for a meeting with a Minister I suppose (not that I would know about either point). Although this is rather ironic since they are basically having the meeting because of Lemon's decidedly un-Christian indiscretions. Given her history, this part of the meeting definitely seemed more up her alley:

Meow. Kinky.

Later, Zoe listens to the heartbeat of the wall (aka. eavesdrops on Brick and Lemon in the other room) in a slick blouse and killer red heels - check em out!:

Yeah, just another day at the office! Just a regular doctor in my leather leggings and red pumps! Very practical, as always (hey now, if you get blood on them, it won't show!).

Let's get a better look at the blouse:

A little bit country, a little bit rock n' roll. Much more appropriate for a doctor's office. Well, at least a doctor's office on television.

Then it's time for race day! If you're anything like me, the point of going to an event like this is to see what people are wearing, and Lemon shows up looking very J Crew-chic in red pants, a printed blouse and jaunty sunhat:

I could do without the large #4 right across the front, but other than that, it's a winner! We so rarely see Lemon in pants, so that's refreshing. I guess she realized that a sequined cardigan and floral dress were probably not going to cut it building a wheelbarrow and shucking corn, but still understood that an occasion such as this is no reason not to look cute. Amen, Lemon.

Zoe, on the other hand, dresses kind of like a 13 year old boy for the race:

Sigh, so boring Zoe. I realize you want to be comfy and warm and practical on such a day but do you really think Golden Boy George is going to notice you in your flared denim and gray hoodie when Lemon looks like she walked out of the Anthropologie catalogue?! You're a doctor - use them brains!

At least one can always count on Levon Hayes to look nonchalantly polished and sexy - with a little fun thrown in - even while carrying a crutch under one arm:

Thank you for getting the 'race-day' look RIGHT, Mr. Mayor. Lovin' the fedora, violet shirt and vest combo with jeans. I certainly wish the public servants where I live looked this good.

If only all the men in Bluebell "got it". To my chagrin, Tom was - yet again - wearing a cheesy sweater with an animal on it:

Although this is a slight improvement over the deer butt sweater of two weeks ago, it is still not very stylin'. Obviously clothes aren't everything to everyone though because a cute redhead asked Tom to be on her race team and they kissed and everything! They are SUPER cute together! Just wait until she opens his closet and sees his rows of sweaters with animal faces on them - if she sticks with him after that, they should just get married.

Looks like fashion mattered in the end because George and Lemon won the race - and realized they still have a spark between them. And the episode ended off with pretty much everyone in town mad at Zoe. In other words, she's back to where she started! Don't worry, Zoe - I'm sure they're just jealous that you're so good at butting into other peoples' business. Small-town folk really pride themselves on doing that, and you're showing them up.

Or maybe they are just jealous of how great you look in leather leggings - who can tell!

So, what do you think - Will Zoe be able to get everyone back on her side? Will we see a wedding in Bluebell before the end of the season? Does your doctor wear red pumps (mine doesn't)?

Destiny & Denial - Part 1 of 2 - Not just a river in Egypt

2012-04-27T14:52:56Z

This might just be the episode we’ve all been waiting for. Lemon and George finally part ways, opening the door for George + Zoe = TRU LUV. George is running through town like his breakup ain’t no thang, while Lemon is plotting ways (aka using Pintrest to find unreal cake recipes) to get George back. But before she can do that, Zoe and George run off to Nawlins and pretend to be married. Also, there is a Gilbert and "Southivan" musical revue, and nearly everyone in town is involved. Naturally.

Obviously when you cheat on your fiancé with someone like Mayor Lavon Hayes, the first thing that comes to mind to spark a reconciliation is to bake them a cake. That WILL do the trick.

Cake tastes better if you bake it while wearing a cute apron, btw. Old Breeland family secret.

Zoe, on the other hand, takes the “Let me bring you soup. It shows that I’m your caring friend” approach, which I’ve seen successfully mastered on many occasions.

Aside from a cook-off, these ladies are in a seriously fashion duel as well. Zoe’s killing it in a slightly more sophisticated than normal outfit. I am totally loving the skirt and this button up blouse.

She tops it off with some seriously serious tie-up wedge clogs. Oy. That’s a lot of shoe for such a teeny lady.

Lemon, on the other hand, is looking lovely as always. From the calf up, there is nothing cutting edge about this look but I love the feminine jewels, gold fleck sweater, and dotted dress. Let's peep a closeup:

See? Lovely.

But then from the calf down she’s rocking the gold stiletto version of Dorothy’s slippers. I bet Lemon wishes she were in Kansas right about now. Dorothy didn’t go canoodling with the Tin Man only to have Scarecrow dump her sorry behind.

DING DING DING! It's a Cake versus Soup-off! May the best shoe win.

The ladies run into George who is literally SKIPPING about town, high on life and his new found freedom.

Aside from his sick stance that could also double as a scene from A Chorus Line, George is dressed to kill. His shoes and vest match PERFECTLY and everything else is just icing on the Pinterest cake. Zoe better land this man fast or he won’t last long.

Zoe bumps into George - still in denial - and learns that he has a bucket list that he intends on revisiting now that he’s single This involves buying a motorcycle, working on his best James Dean and heading to New Orleans to take in some great jazz, all by his lonesome. YOU KNOW WHERE THIS IS GOING!

Zoe goes back to the tried, tested, and true short-short.

Is it just me or do her shoes look 20 times too big? And...is that a one piece romper-type deal?

Anywhoo, Zoe gets the predictable “Come join me in New Orleans to listen to jazz music” call, and off she goes. They run into a couple on their honeymoon so naturally, they also pretend to be newlyweds. It's believable. Just look at the way they match. Soon they start spinnin' yarns of their travels around the world and get swept up in the whole lie. Bad idea, lovebirds!

So many things are wrong with this scene. First off, Zoe’s heart is about to get stomped, second of all, George Tucker was SINGING on stage, and lastly, some reject American Idol is performing Country music at said bar. Did I mention NONE of these songs even had an ounce of jazz music in them? George is clearly in denial about a lot more than his relationship.

One thing you can’t deny is their chemistry. These two look SO cute together. Both in black, Zoe adds some pizazz with her sparkly top. Can’t figure out if she’s in the short shorts or a skirt though. Regardless, this outfit lands her a makeout sesh with George. FINALLY!!

For the extra WOW factor, she sports a gold sparkly jacket. But you know what they say Dr. Hart. All that shimmers in this world is sure to fade. Enjoy this night while it lasts!

Destiny & Denial - Part 2 of 2 - Destiny is knocking

2012-04-27T14:52:08Z

While George and Zoe were off pretending to be newlyweds in New Orleans, the rest of Bluebell was gearing up for Dash's "Gilbert and Southivan" charity revue, thus fulfilling their destiny - to live in a crazy little town and dress up as people from the 1940’s every. Single. Weekend.

Lemon is freaking out back stage because she discovers George is missing. Oddly enough, I don’t think this was her performance outfit. She just likes to wear cut off gloves with bows on them for fun. While I did snark at these, they are KIND of cool. I think.

Little Magnolia can’t keep her mouth shut so she decides to tell her Dad the news of Lemon and George’s breakup. That's a hard pill to swallow, even while dressed as the Very Model of a Modern Major General. I must say Brick looks quite dapper, but I’m pretty sure you don’t want to be in the middle of Bluebell’s biggest breakup looking like this!

While Lemon searches high and low for George, we learn that Wade is keeping it real in plaid. Plaid is to Wade like these crazy town events are to Bluebell. Part of your daily life.

Zoe and George return to Bluebell and within moments 1) George decks Lavon in the face, and 2) crumbles into a pile of tears and 3) shows up at the Breelands' house.

This is the first time in 19 episodes that we see Lemon completely undone and wearing something that a normal person being might be caught wearing while crying their eyes out and eating copious amounts of Hagen Daas. Congrats, Lemon. You're human. Well done.

So what will it be? Will George and Lemon find a way to make things work? Or will George’s feelings for Zoe and the free life prevail? Most importantly, did Brick ever learn all the words to his G&S number?

Bachelorettes and Bullets - Part 1 of 1 - NOT a good mixture

2012-04-19T15:09:42Z

Doesn't the title of this episode sound like the latest Tarantino movie? Don't worry - no bachelorettes were harmed in the making of this episode (unless you count wearing a Pepto-coloured sparkly shirt a crime). Anyhoo, Lemon and her girls embark on her bachelorette party. Luckily, her 14-year-old sister was smart enough to realize that Lemon's original plan was going to be super-boring and booked a super-trashy stripper bus instead. Her dad was in Animal House - I'm pretty sure he'd be proud. Lemon and Lavon's big secret was finally revealed, Zoe gets a date with another cute guy, and both the bachelorette/bachelor parties end up ruined. Great foreshadowing with the "and Bullets" part of the title, HoD writers.

Zoe wore what I would say is one of her cutest outfits to date. It's a good thing it was cute because she literally wore it for the entire episode (for reals - ONE OUTFIT):

I love me a brightly coloured pair of pants. And I love the pairing with the neutral trenchcoat, purse and wedge boots.

THE WEDGES!! #so #cute And, I wished I lived in a city where I could wear my trench artfully tied behind my back, providing a nice waist cinch, but alas, it rains about every five minutes where I live. Interestingly, this coat is sort of a cross between a hoodie and a trench (am I wrong, or does crossing anything with a hoodie automatically up the comfort factor by, like, a thousand?). And I love that this outfit is trendy, yet classic.

I gotta ask though, Zoe, why do you always carry a top-handled bag? I mean, just because you're a small-town doctor doesn't mean you have to carry around one of these! And isn't it annoying to not have your hands free? Doesn't it get hard to stick your hands into everyone's business when you only have one available?

It has a strap, ya know.

Anyway, back to the rest outfit - check out the polka-dot blouse with front-ruffle!

I also love me some polka-dots. And a ruffly blouse. And natural, smooth waves. This is exactly how I want to look on a daily basis. Well, minus the worried facial expression. This expression is courtesy of her conversation with George wherein she not only learns that he saw Lavon and Lemon kissing, but also lies and tells him that Lavon was at home all night (and therefore could NOT be drinking and kissing someone else's fiance at the Rammer Jammer).

Things look up when Zoe gets a date with a cute new patient named Jesse.

Dang. I'd like to bandage him up good, if yaknowwhatImean *wink-nudge*. You know, for a small town, Bluebell sure has a lot of cute, eligible men up in it! Of course, if I looked like Dr. Hart I'd probably have cute boys coming in my door every day, too. Keep up the realism, CW!

Meanwhile, it's time for Lemon's extremely boring bachelorette party - yahoo!! You know it's not going to go well when your ex-buddy shows up in a better outfit than you:

Bravo, Annabeth - you are rockin' that green jacket (although the material looks a bit like astroturf) and floral skirt. Not to mention the 40's waves and smug smirk.

Although, Annabeth's outfit doesn't really say "bachelorette party" to me. I'm getting more of an "afternoon tea in the garden with grandma" message. Still, at least it's colourful, which is more than I can say for Lemon's ensemble:

Oh Lemon, Lemon, Lemon. Why do you insist on dressing like either a grandmother or a little girl? This is sort of a mix of both - little girl gold babydoll dress with bow, topped with a nubby long old lady coat. And white tights?! Who are you, Alice? Well, this ain't Wonderland, baby - you're in Alabama now. While AnnaB's outfit says garden party, Lemon's says Easter Sunday church service.

And this does not look like church.

The boys at George's bachelor party are not even worth mentioning in the style department. Plaid. Denim. And this unfortunate sweater on cutie Tom:

Dear God, Tom. What is this?! Even PETA would throw a can of paint on that horrid jacket.

I know you love animals and all, but do you really need to wear them on your sweater? There's a way to do quirky sweaters right, and sporting an animal's butt on the back is not it:

Even WADE is lecturing you about this look! And he's wearing a lumberjack coat and carrying a gun! (Note to our American readers: we Canadians do NOT dress like lumberjacks. Nor do we dress like this).

Sigh. I'm too exhausted from all the bad fashion and drama to go any further with this recap. In a nutshell, pretty much everyone is mad at Zoe right now, George is now back on the market, and clearly I need to move to Bluebell because that's where all the cute boys are. Also? Everyone needs to stop wearing heavy coats and sweaters and tights - you live in Alabama!

What do you think? Will Lemon and George get back together? Will Zoe end the season single? Will Lemon stop dressing like an old lady?

Heart to Hart - Part 1 of 2 - The Stink Eye

2012-04-12T16:14:54Z

After a long hiatus, we return to Bluebell with polka dots, tweed and lots o’ drama. Zoe's father flies to Alabama to perform George's father's surgery, fixing Mr. Tucker's heart but ultimately breaking Zoe's. Lavon pines after Lemon (again), Lemon tries to destroy Zoe (again) and Wade tries to figure out what do with the rest of his life (wait, you mean being the hot, nonchalant bartender isn't a "thing"?) Prepare yourself for an emotional roller coaster: fists are waved, smiles are forced and more tears are shed than at an Adele listening party.

The episode begins with Zoe obsessively staring at her dad’s flight plan, giving us a little lesson in Facial Expressions While Staring at a Computer Screen 101:

This is pure gold, ladies and gentlemen. Acting classes around the world should study this episode. I can’t even figure out which one is my favorite, they’re all so damn good.

Wait. Found my fav:

Her facial expression might be “hardcore” but her outfit is far from it. Look at those super fab geometric earrings. But more on this later!

Lemon goes to the grocery store to prepare a care package for Mr. Tucker in a white, quilted cropped jacket and pink tie blouse. This outfit is okay. Not sure why she needs a jacket with a tie option as well as a blouse with a tie option. It's unnecessary and redundant.

It's unnecessary and redundant.

Meanwhile, Lavon stands in the corner looking like a major creep. Can't a man take a hint?

Apparently not.

Lemon looks like she's literally fearing for her life. God, Lavon. You're lucky you look great in your purple-stripes-green-khakis combo.

Back at the Rammer Jammer, we finally get a glimpse of Zoe’s full outfit as she prepares for a rumble with her dad. And let me say, this outfit is perfection for a father ass-whooping.

It’s also so quintessentially Zoe. Shorts? Check. Tweed? Check. Chanel bag? Double check!

In the C storyline, Shelly and Wade are pitted against each other to make a signature cocktail for the Rammer Jammer.

Leave it to the show’s stylist to make the show's only Asian actress dress like a Minnie Mouse/Rosie the Riveter hybrid.

At least Wade looks good. This is one of his best outfits yet ‘cause it ain’t plaid. And that’s enough.

Very blue collar.

“Random” wholeheartedly agrees:

This redhead is apparently Wanda, the niece of the Rammer Jammer’s owner. But does anyone remember her as the shampoo girl who had syphilis and spread it to that pastor awhile back? Hm. I guess they left that little detail out. I’d remember those 2009 feather earrings anywhere.

At the hospital, George wakes up next to his father, still dressed in his tuxedo shirt. The only time when wearing the same thing from the night before is acceptable.

Awaiting her father’s arrival, Zoe practices her stink eye still looking absolutely gorg in this outfit.

We even get a closer look at her jacket, which has a leather trim:

Not only is she the Queen of Pattern, but she just hit the texture jackpot as well. Tweed, leather, silk-- it don’t matter!

Zoe can’t maintain her anger and almost melts at the sight of her father. Maybe it’s because she realizes how alike they are in both medicine AND fashion.

Daddy Hart sure knows how to dress or more importantly, layer. Although, he is dressed a little too much like a Ralph Lauren ad for my taste.

Not sure about these X-Men Cyclops glasses either:

After a great family bonding heart surgery (Aw, I love those!!!), Zoe’s dad breaks her heart and says they can have a new relationship as “colleagues.”

The next day, Addie excitedly asks Zoe about her dad in this fiery, orange dress:

Addie is looking H-A-W-T hot. Her dress is a far cry from her tame florals and screams Rebecca Taylor. Was there a makeover scene that didn't make it into this episode or something??

Also, it’s a tiny bit see-through. Move over Zoe Hart, we’ve got another inappropriately dressed employee at the practice!

Zoe assures Addie that she is fine with her new relationship with her dad. She also assures Addie that her style will continue to prevail with this amazing gray leopard print dress:

"Um, Addie? I’m the only one who’s allowed to dress like I’m hitting a club after work."

Look at that exposed zipper and “made-for-her” cut! She is KILLING it. Even if it is the 10th leopard print dress of the season.

Like, seriously... is it OKAY for people to dress like this at a family practice, let alone, in a work environment? How come my doctor wears ugly patterned polos and pleated khakis? And his receptionist wears cat pins on her sweaters! CAT PINS!!!

One plane ticket to Bluebell, please!

Heart to Hart - Part 2 of 2 - Nobody Puts Zoe in the Corner

2012-04-12T16:14:17Z

Meanwhile, at the Breeland Estate, Lemon and her minion, Cricket, have a Destroy Zoey Hart meeting.

How novel of them. They never do this!

Lemon is in detective mode in this satin, mustard trench, oddly paired with a pink dress and yellow tights. Yuck. When’s the next Destroy Yellow Tights meeting?

After the Destroy White Beaded Cardigan meeting, apparently:

Cricket is a disaster. Even the day before, she wore this unflattering halter dress:

Let’s be serious. No one wears halter dresses unless they’re making maid-of-honor speeches.

Lemon decides her plan of action for officially destroying Zoe Hart is to befriend her (hasn’t she tried this already?) and invite her to dinner. While preparing, she dons this amazing, gold hair pin:

Feeling devastated after being downgraded from daughter to colleague, Zoe unenthusiastically greets her "father." Though one can hardly tell she is unenthusiastic by her 70s print tie dress:

Love everything about this. The color, the print, her hair, her jewelry. Look at the feathery hem!

George pops by to invite them to dinner at the Breeland Estate. Unfortunately, he gets a little carried away with the collar on his new utility jacket:

That collar is popped so high it’s practically a hood.

At least Zoe can look past that. Sure, she hasn’t quite mastered the stink eye. But when it comes to bedroom eyes, she sure is an expert.

Back at the mayor’s house, Lavon witnesses Wade’s talent for making cocktails while wearing his signature color purple. Love this purple button down and gray vest. Look at those little zippers!

On the night of the dinner, Lemon prepares Brick for her devious plot in this “looks-so-innocent-she-must-be-evil” outfit.

I LOVE this outfit. And maybe it’s because I’m a sucker for white tops with black bows, but there is nothing over-the-top, mismatched or yellow going on. Frankly, she kind of looks like Grace Kelly on crack.

We get a full body look at her outfit when she enthusiastically welcomes Zoe into her home.

We get to see a great dichotomy in styles between Lemon and Zoe. Zoe in her signature dark print colors and edgy heels. Lemon in her signature a-line skirt and classic pumps. Good work to both of you!

Even the Whitest Men on Earth agree:

"Why, yes, yes, I'm a WASP as well. Scotch all around!"

Zoe finally confronts her father about his abandonment and she does it, no holds barred, tears and all.

Lemon watches, semi-concerned because her plan to destroy Zoey has failed (yet again x 100). Does this girl have a walk-in closet exclusively for her hair accessories? Seriously.

Clearly, Zoe’s dad just needed a reality check. He apologizes and they end up like this:

Disappointed, Lemon walks with George to the Rammer Jammer in this beautiful, ivory swing coat. Don't let that monstrous collar on your left hit you in the face!

Let’s take a closer look at Lemon's coat:

This outfit is classy and monochrome and totally unlike Lemon. It’s like it's laundry day or something.

Even drunk Lavon can’t resist the monochrome Lemon:

But wait, where is George? Oh. Just being blinded by headlights.

Aaaand bringing us back exactly where we were before. Lavon still wants Lemon. Zoe still wants George. George still doesn't know about Lavon and Lemon. Did anything actually happen in this episode?

Oh, George's father's alive. And I think Zoe and her father made up. Ugh.

Now that that's out of the way...
