Fashion Team Goes Shopping!

Beckley Team: Nick Verreos, Lawrence Zarian and Jen Rade, TV Guide Network "The Fashion Team" at Beckley Boutique

Last week for our latest episode of TV Guide Network's "The Fashion Team", host Lawrence Zarian & Co. --by Company, of course, I mean stylist Jen Rade and I, Nick Verreos-- headed to the hip Beckley Boutique on Melrose Avenue in the heart of West Hollywood.

Since this season "The Fashion Team" was exclusively on location, shooting in all sorts of places in LA, this time we came to Beckley. This chic gem of a boutique carries brands and designers such as Camilla and Marc, Halston Heritage, Sass and Bide and Vivienne Westwood among others. They also carry a HUGE array of accessories including purses, jewelry and even luxe fragranced candles and body lotions.

For our "WTF?"/ What's The Fashion segment, Lawrence , Jen and I discussed our "Most Memorable" red carpet styles from last week's Grammy Awards and then chose our Top Five. We had a BLAST discussing Lady Gaga's "Egg" , Nicki Minaj's Cheetah-Krazy Givenchy Haute Couture (LOVED IT!!!) plus many more.

The one-hour special will also highlight classic style icons Audrey Hepburn and Grace Kelly and modern day trend-setters Nicole Kidman and Angelina Jolie.

You know we'll talk about the gorgeous Halle Berry in that Elie Saab gown (No one had heard of this Lebanese Designer until then! Well, no one outside of the LA-NY-Paris-Beirut Fashionista circles!).

And of course, the photo of Cher and THAT iconic Bob Mackie creation might make a "special appearance" in the show. If you LOVE Fashion, are a fan of the Red Carpet and the Academy Awards...well, this is THE SHOW for you!

On Monday morning, I had an early "Call Time" to shoot my "Grammy Awards Fashion Wrap" at the TV Guide Hollywood & Highland studios. I was revv'ed up and ready after watching the show the night before and--along with my "research partner"--doing all my "Grammys Fashion Homework". It also helped that I was doing a bit of my own "Live Blogging The Red Carpet" as well on Sunday night.

Our "Fashion Wrap" set was all done up with lovely flower arrangements with strategically placed musical instruments. Hello: It's the Grammys!

Grammy's Trois-some: Jen Rade, Lawrence Zarian and Nick Verreos, TV Guide Grammy Awards Fashion Wrap set

We had a lot of fun agreeing--as well as disagreeing-- on the looks we saw on the Grammy Awards Red Carpet the night before. We all agreed on "Ricky Martin: What were you thinkin'???" and when it came to Rihanna's Jean Paul Gaultier Haute Couture white-and-sheer tulle gown, well....you will have to click below to see...

Flower & Fashion Extravaganza!

Violets Are Blooming: "Fashion Team" Host Lawrence Zarian, stylist Jen Rade and Fashion Designer Nick Verreos, TV Guide Network's "The Fashion Team"

Last week, we filmed the latest in this season's "The Fashion Team" TV Guide Network Show from Mark's Garden in Sherman Oaks, California. Usually, we film our episodes from various LA fashion boutiques, Couture Vintage Stores, or even a Hair Salon or two---However , just in time for Valentine's Day, we decided to shoot this episode from one of the premier Flower Design/Shops in Southern California.

A-List Flowers: The Front of "Mark's Garden", Sherman Oaks

Mark's Garden Flower Arrangement...waiting to be delivered

They have designed the flower arrangements for the past EIGHTEEN YEARS for the Academy Awards Governors Ball (I know this is SERIOUS Flower Extravaganza!) as well as Celebrity A-List Weddings like Fergie and Josh Duhamel, Ellen and Portia, Pink, Gwen Stefani and "My Girl" Heidi Klum!

Nick Verreos "Hearts" Mark's Garden, Sherman Oaks

The shop was all "abuzz" with flower orders galore and done up just in time for Valentine's Day. Notice the Window "Heart Display" behind me in the photo above. As soon as I arrived, I requested form the talented flower designers if they could create a little Boutonniere for me so I would wear it to the taping.

Fashion Prom Date: Nick Verreos and his "Mark's Garden" Boutonniere

I just thought "Heck, I'm in one of the Top Flower Stores in the Nation...maybe I should have one of their 'mini-designs' on my lapel!" Well, they quickly went to work and created an amazing creation: Love them!

The Episode Premiered Last Friday but you can still catch it TOMORROW, Wednesday Feb 16Th 1PM and Friday Feb 18 7PM.

Vintage TV Guide Threesome: Lawrence Zarian, Nick Verreos and Jen Rade at Sielian's Vintage Apparel Boutique, filming "The Fashion Team"

Last week, I shot my "What's The Fashion?" segment for TV Guide Network's "The Fashion Team" weekly TV Show at one of the most incredible Vintage Couture Boutiques in all of LA: Sielian's Vintage Apparel. Sielian's Boutique is truly a GEM of a store! Located on Melrose Avenue, near Doheny, it is THE Go-To place for all the top stylists in Hollywood--from Rachel Zoe to my lovely--and very stylist TV Guide Fashion Team "girlfriend", Jen Rade.

Sequined Fantasy: Costume Designer and Stylist Jen Rade holds up one of the many Vintage Gems from Sielian's Vintage Apparel Boutique

Sielian's Vintage DIVA is Sielian Lie herself! And here's the best part: She was one of my STUDENTS many years ago at the Fashion Institute of Design &Merchandising/FIDM! Yes, I taught her! Sielian had a passion for Vintage Couture and the short story is:

Instructor...FABULOUS Student: Nick Verreos and Sielian Lie at her store, Sielian's Vintage Apparel

She began selling what she had at the famous Fairfax High School Melrose Trading Post and A-List Celebs like Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen began buying...and telling her that she should own a shop. After some time, her and her wonderful business partner husband eventually did, at this fabulous West Hollywood/Beverly Hills-adjacent location and well, the rest is LA Vintage Couture/Red Carpet Stylist History!

Jean-Louis Scherrer

Her store is Vintage Couture Heaven! Sielian has an amazing editing eye and shops from Paris to Pasadena--scouring the best in Vintage Fashion. While I was there , preparing to film my segment, I saw (amongst other things) a Jean-Louis Scherrer original, as well as...

A Valentino hounds-tooth black-and-white puffed-sleeved cropped jacket

A prized Thierry Mugler leather color-blocked jacket (I heard singer Rihanna might have been looking at this!)

Lots of Chanel necklaces (Gosh I wish I was a girl with money...or a Sugar Daddy!!!)

As well as Chanel and Hermes purses. All Vintage from the 80's, 90's and prior. And all ready for a DIVA--from Beverly Hills or Dubai...to do some "Vintage Retail Damage".

Window Couture: Sielian's Vintage Apparel Boutique, Melrose Avenue West Hollywood

The shop is located on 9013 Melrose Avenue in West Hollywood and it is A MUST for any lover of Vintage Couture! Thank you Sielian--and your wonderful husband--for having us in your FABULOUS Boutique! And thank you for enrolling in my class years ago at FIDM and being a straight-A student!

Double Breasted Store Window: Nick Verreos in front of the Diane Merrick store, Los Angeles

Last week, I shot my "What's The Fashion?" celeb red carpet segment with my TV Guide Network "Fashion Team" cohorts, host Lawrence Zarian and stylist Jen Rade.

Nick Verreos on Style Network's "Style Star" series

As you may already know, I am one of the Style Experts of the show (along with Marcellas Reynolds, Elle's Joe Zee, among others) giving our "Fashionista Two Cents" on the style evolution--and red carpet fashion choices--of various A-List Ladies. In past episodes, we've discussed Drew Barrymore (Love her!), Charlize Theron (Wow! What a figure!), and California Girl Epitomized Cameron Diaz.

Eva Longoria, SAG Awards 2008

But now, it's all about Eva and Victoria. I just ADORE both of their styles: they are strong, powerful, no-holds barred style Goddesses. Eva, with her petite fiery Latina looks, she shows you can be sexy and elegant at the same time. And then there's Miss Victoria: Seriously anyone who gets out of an 11-hour LA to London flight looking like this:

Is DEFINITELY going to join me in Elton John-Cher Gay Heaven!!! DIVA with a Capital "D"! This is how I wanna look every time I get off a plane! Go Miss Victoria...

TV Guide Network's "2011 Screen Actors Guild Fashion Wrap": Nick Verreos Recap + Entire Video of show!!!

SAG Awards-FABULOUS...

Fashion Wrap Couch Mates: (L to R) Nick Verreos, Jen Rade, Kim Vo, Kara Birkenstock, Lawrence Zarian

Well kids, Monday--less than 24 hours after it happened--I was invited to join the "illustrious" panel of experts for our TV Guide SAG Awards Fashion Wrap, where we rate the Best, Worst Dressed, the hair, the make up, the shoes...you get the picture. No SAG Awards "Red Carpet Stone" is left unturned.

Once again, joining in on the fun was our Host, TV Guide Fashion Guy, Lawrence Zarian--who was actually working ON THE RED CARPET the night before--plus Hair Color DIVA Kim Vo, Shoe Expert, the very leg-o-licious Kara Birkenstock and last but not least, my next-to-me seatmate, the lovely UBER stylist Jen Rade. Jen was wearing head-to-toe H&M and looked FABUOLOUS: Her double zero (I'm jealous!) body looked amazing in those off-white palazzo's and tucked-in blouse.

The set, once again, was modern and fresh, including this divine black leather couch (from HD Buttercup, one of my favorite furniture stores in LA) and I especially loved the table above with that GORGEOUS Orchid bouquet display!

Sitting Pretty: Nick Verreos on the TV Guide Fashion Wrap set, TV Guide Network Studios

We had so much fun DISHING on all the Screen Actors Guild Awards Red Carpet. I just LOVE been with this TV Guide "funky bunch"! This was one of our best! We agreed on a lot of the Red Carpet styles (Big Improvement Miss Tina Fey! We "Heart" you!) as well as disagreed naturally (watch below and you'll see! OH Angie Harmon...)
