Doctor Who Style

I don't know if most people associate a nerdy British TV show about a time traveling alien with fashion, but I sure do. I haven't actually gotten to see any of the latest season of Doctor Who, but the recent news about bringing back Ten and Donna for an audio series really got me thinking about how much I miss my guilty pleasure go-to binge watching show.

Along with all the changes in time, galaxy, and universes that happen throughout the course of Doctor Who comes a lot of costume changes. Here are a few of my favorite outfits from throughout the seasons.

1. "The Idiot's Lantern": The 50s were a good look for Rose and Ten. What's not to love about the denim jacket and pink poodle skirt paired together? And Rose did a great job running around saving the world in those kitten heels.

2. "Angels Take Manhattan": Arguably one of the saddest episodes (and I say arguably literally because I've gotten into arguments about this), also features one of my favorite outfits of all time on Doctor Who. Although extremely simple, I think Amy's jacket with her striped shirt and jeans is so perfect. Also, I still can't get over the fact that the Doctor then wears the glasses that Amy leaves. So many feelings. 

3. "Robot  of Sherwood": I'm reluctantly including this one, because even though I love the dress I can't stand Clara. Pretty much my least favorite character on any show. Ever. But, my hatred towards her aside, I really love this dress. I think it's the perfect dress to set the tone for the fairy tale-like episode. She look like she walked straight out of a story book. 

Halloween-evision

As well all know from the wise words of Mean Girls' Cady Haron,"In the regular world, Halloween is when children dress up in costumes and beg for candy. In Girl World, Halloween is the one night a year when a girl can dress like a total slut and no other girls can say anything about it."

If you're ready to ditch your go-to "girl world" costumes, and don't want to take the basic route and go as a cat again (like I've done for the past 20 years of my life), why not take some inspiration from your favorite TV characters for your Halloween look?

Especially if you're looking for a costume for a group of friends, dressing up as your favorite TV characters is a great option. Personally I think going  for a TBT look and dressing up as your favorite 90s Nickelodeon show is the best option, but the possibilities are endless.

Fashion That Kills: AHS Hotel

I like to think I'm a pretty good scary movie and TV viewer. I don't need to look away from gory violence or hide my eyes from gruesome details. But even I had a hard time keeping my eyes on the screen for the first couple of American Horror Story: Hotel episodes that have aired.

What's not so hard to look at, though, is the costumes. I had high expectations for the fashion with a season starring Lady Gaga, but I've been blown away by the constant detail to the elaborate outfits.

The flashbacks allow the costumes to range in extravagance as the show flips from decade to decade. There's everything from the classy 1900s to the grungy 90s to the timeless high fashion works of art worn by Gaga. The intricate detail on Gaga's crystal glove is as beautiful as it is frightening.

I'm excited to keep watching to unveil the strange mystery that's been started, and I'll have to keep my eyes open through the gore to see all that style.

Scandalous Style

This past summer I became completely obsessed with the strange reality TV world of Dance Moms, a show based around crazed stage moms letting their daughters be everything short of physically harmed to let the so called brilliant choreographer Miss Abby Lee Miller make their bratty little daughters into super stars. However, Miller has recently found herself under a bit of a scandal and is indicted on fraud charges.

This isn't the first scandal Miller has gotten herself into. Every week she puts her juvenile dancers in highly controversial costumes. Here's a few of my personal favorite style scandals.

1. The topless show girl outfits. On this episode Abby truly lost touch with whatever sense of reality she had left and dressed her group of prepubescent girls in outfits meant to look like topless dancers with only feathers to cover up their "naked" bodies. This dance was so controversial that it only aired once and hasn't been repeated or put online to watch.

2. The Electricity dance costumes. This time Abby dressed up a trio of her dancers in jazz outfits with very minimal fabric and ridiculously over-the-top hair and makeup.

3. The texting and driving dance. I think Abby had a great idea and message to make with this dance, but watching little Mackenzie covered in fake blood in her mini prom dress was truly disturbing to look at.

Funny Girl Fashion: Amy Schumer on SNL

It came as no surprise to me that Amy Schumer was going to be her usual hilarious self when she hosted SNL last week, but I was in awe of how beautiful her outfit was.

The comedian/actress/my life role model looked stunning in her opening monologue outfit. Schumer played up the classic little black dress by showing off more skin and looking as good as she was funny. You can easily recreate Schumer's look by pairing heavy smokey eye with a cut-out LBD, but good luck recreating her comedic gold.

TBT: Buffy the Fashion Slayer

Growing up my Dad and sister used to watch, and obsess, over Buffy the Vampire Slayer together. But they would never let me in on their little addiction because I was "too young" to handle it. Last summer though I started binge watching Buffy on Netflix and wow was I missing out all these years.

Not only is Buffy one of the greatest badass heroines of all time, but she does it all while looking like the best dressed 90s valley girl of all time.

If you want to recreate Buffy's demon slaying looking, it won't be hard by going into any store today. The whole retro 90s look is everywhere. Get yourself a preppy crop top and micro mini skirt, and don't forget your stake.

Scream Queens

Ryan Murphy's new show is write up his alley. It's as if the cast of Glee (literally Leach Michelle stars in it) was thrown into the strange world of college Greek life for a cheesy season of American Horror Story.

Whether you love or hate the horror spoof, or still trying to figure it out like me, there's three things you can't help but obsess over.

1. Nick Jonas
2. The clothes
3. Nick Jonas (I'm just really excited about the Jo Bro come back)

Kappa Kappa Tau president, and queen bee, Chanel Oberlin's preppy ensembles look like an ad for the latest Karl Lagerfeld collection. Seriously, I haven't had this much closet envy since I saw Clueless for the first time.

I'm not going to give an in depth review of Scream Queens so far, but I will say that I'm more excited to see the outfits to come than to discover who the murderer is. And that's probably not the best thing for a show based around suspense and mystery.
