So you want to dress like...Arthur Darvill from Doctor Who

This post has been a long time in coming!  Due to various moving an internet issues, I've been absent for a little over two weeks.  I'm excited to be back and bringing you all the necessary fashion information important for your daily lives.  Okay, okay, so maybe it's not that serious, but I'm excited to be back all the same; sharing my love of fashion with all of you.

Today's post rounds out the trifecta of Doctor Who stars and their incredible fashion sense. Arthur Darvill is our focus today.  Arthur portrays Rory Williams/Pond - husband to Karen Gillan's character, Amy Pond, and second companion to the Doctor.  Like with our two previous actors, we'll be focusing on Arthur's personal style and how you, the reader, can emulate it.

Street Style

Sweater;  Shoes;  Jeans;  Sunglasses;  Tee

Casual, public appearance Arthur is undeniably fun.  The patterned sweater paired with graphic tee really makes this look stand out.  The vintage sunglasses add a "hipster"-type touch.  Though you can't see the shoes or pants Arthur wears in this picture, I thought it best to pair the loud top portion of this outfit with a simple pair of jeans.  I also chose Chuck Taylors due to the fact that Arthur seems to favor them in much of his outfits.  

Pheasants, Pheasants Everywhere 

Shirt;  Shoes;  Pins;  Sweater;  Pants

I couldn't pass up the...uniqueness of this look when I first spotted it.  Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find a sweater that was exactly like Arthur's, but I did find one that was pretty close.  It still features pheasants, which seems to be the important feature with this entire outfit.  I found a set of cheap bird print pins on Etsy to add that special touch to the crewneck. Paired with the sweater is a polka dot dress shirt and red chinos.  Again, Chuck Taylors round out the outfit.  I've chosen some simple, neutral colored shoes due to the rest of the outfit being somewhat "loud".

I'll be returning within the week to feature some hot looks for fall.  If you have anything you'd like to see here, please (as always) feel free to comment or Facebook message me.  I love to hear what readers have to say!

Until next time!

So you want to dress like...Karen Gillan from Doctor Who

I'm back again with another Doctor Who related post. This time, we'll be looking at Karen Gillan - co-star of Matt Smith and the Doctor's companion - for fashion inspiration.

Once working as a model during London Fashion Week, Karen is no stranger to the glam and glitz of the runway. Winning the Cosmopolitan "Woman of the Year" award, the Scottish Fashion Icon award, and TV Choice's "Best Dressed" for 2012, she is clearly at the height of style.

Today I'm bringing you two examples of premiere Karen Gillan outfits and my own interpretations of each for your own wearing pleasure.

Stripes & Hardware

Sweater; Rings; Shoes; Tights; Skirt; Earrings

This outfit of Karen's is one of the first she had worn out an about for a press tour. From day one, I have adored the sweater she is wearing. I felt like I had to use this look as the first for my post. There was no other way to go about it.

Because color is my friend (and yours), I decided to pair this sweater with a brightly colored skirt. Tights and the utilitarian boots and accessories complete this look for the upcoming season.

Unusual Graphics

Sweater; Shoes; Earrings; Watch; Jeans; Bag; Nail Polish

Unfortunately, I couldn't locate a cable knit with a double decker bus pattern (much to my chagrin), but I thought another unusual graphic sweater might do the trick. Miss Selfridge is the maker of this lovely duck pullover. Paired with the neutral oxford shoe, bright colored pant, and neutral bag, this overall set truly captures Karen's original look. For my personal touch, I added a neon earring, watch, and nail polish.

Next week we'll tackle Arthur Darvill aka Rory Williams - another current companion of the Doctor's - for our weekly Doctor Who fashion inspiration post.

Until next time!

So you want to dress like...Matt Smith from 'Doctor Who'

Today I bring you a solo menswear post! I haven't done this yet on my blog, but it's always exciting to venture into something new.

I have to admit that my "geek" is showing again. Last night was the premiere of one of my favorite shows Doctor Who, and its stars Matt Smith, Karen Gillan, and Arthur Darvill are somewhat of a group of fashion icons. They all have quirky and fresh outlooks on what to wear in the limelight. For this post, we'll take the star of the show - Matt Smith - and breakdown two of his unique looks.

On the Street

Hat; Sweater; Sunglasses; Shirt; Jeans; Pin

Inspired by the bright color scheme of the stripes on Matt's sweater, I put together this very Fall appropriate outfit. You can probably guess that Matt incorporates "hipster"-type pieces into his wardrobe. He often sports unusual accessories (like his hat pin) and is never without a good pair of sunglasses. He also doesn't shy away from color.

Photoshoot Savvy

Shirt; Pants; Shoes; Chain; Sunglasses

Remember what I was saying about unusual accessories? Matt doesn't fail to push the envelope with this look that includes the key necklace accent. There is also no shortage of color with this look as well. I've again adapted this look from a Summer photoshoot to a functional Fall look for men.

I hope you enjoyed our little foray into geek fashion. I plan on highlighting more actors from this series, so if you're familiar with Doctor Who and would like to see certain pieces featured, please let me know here or on Facebook! For now, expect me to be back later this week with hot pieces for Fall.

Until next time!

So you want to dress like...Fierce women of T.V.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I would kill for some of the pieces certain women on T.V. wear. I've been known to watch a little bit too much television, and from this results in drooling over the wardrobes of characters in my favorite shows. This post details four amazing styles that are modeled by four awesome women of T.V. Don't forget to leave your own inspirations for dressing in the comments if you feel like sharing!

1) River Song

As seen on: Doctor Who

Portrayed by: Alex Kingston

Style profile: River Song dresses elegantly but functionally. She's hard and feminine all at the same time and never compromises her taste for expensive things. See the shoes she's holding in that picture above? Those are Christian Louboutain's! It's no secret that River Song knows who she is and how to convey that in her sense of fashion.

My interpretation: Bold colors, clean lines, hardware, and "playful" accessories are essential for pulling off a look like River's.

Earrings, Belt, Jacket, Tights, Skirt, Top, Bracelet, Shoes

2) Divya Katdare

As seen on: Royal Pains

Portrayed by: Reshma Shetty

Style profile: Divya lives in the always sunny and bright Hamptons, and her wardrobe never fails to reflect this. Pastels and neutrals highlight her beautiful skin tone and add an accent to the beachy background of the show. Her clothes are also functional as she has to be constantly on call for the HankMed business.

My interpretation: Pastels, simple pieces, and contrasting accents in the accessories.

Blazer, Dress, Earrings, Necklace, Belt, Shoes

3) Helen Magnus

As seen on: Sanctuary

Portrayed by: Amanda Tapping

Style profile: Helen Magnus is one of the more ambitious and tough female characters on T.V. right now. She balances dealing with world governments, running her own tactical team, and balancing her 150 year or so love life. Talk about a woman of many talents! She's a woman who demands to be taken seriously just at the sight of her, but one who never fails to be wearing a great pair of shoes at the same time...

My interpretation: Neutrals, metallic accessories, and a "popping" shoe convey an "in charge" and feminine silhouette.

Jacket, Top, Skirt, Bracelet, Earrings, Shoes

4) Leslie Knope

As seen on: Parks and Recreation

Portrayed by: Amy Poehler

Style profile: Leslie Knope is first and foremost her own person. She cares little about what people think of her and focuses only on her work and even more on her friends. She is never lacking in dedication. Leslie's manic and feminine, and her clothes always reflect this. She works for the city government, so she must be put together. Personality is added with fun colors and even better prints.

My interpretation: Fun prints dressed up with a blazer and neutral accents for the office. The bow belt and bow-accented shoe add a bit of femininity to the entire ensemble.

Blazer, Belt, Dress, Shoes, Earrings
