Needless to say, the Scandal/How to Get Away With Murder crossover episodes were freaking stellar last week during TGIT. In addition to the plot, the Scandal half of the crossover, “Allow me to Reintroduce Myself,” featured some great winter fashion from Annalise (Viola Davis).
At the end of the episode, Annalise is walking down the courthouse steps with Olivia Pope wearing this gorgeous yellow wool trench coat. She paired the coat with a dark brown designer handbag, as the women of Shondaland usually do.
This is my favorite shade of yellow so I basically went nuts when I saw Annalise in this coat!
If anything, I think February 2017 takes the cake as the month where every TV show plot line spun out of control. I thought we were supposed to be saving the whole coming “in like a lion and out like a lamb” thing until March …
Anyway, here are my faves in pop culture and entertainment for February 2017.

1. The Voice drama. I bet Gwen will actually end up sleeping on the couch at some point this season.
Life gave Viola Davis some lemons, and from those lemons, we got a Golden Globes dress.
My mom and I could not take our eyes off that bright yellow dress Viola Davis wore to the 2017 Golden Globes! Yellow is my favorite color, so of course she won best dressed on my list.
She wore the dress with a simple white clutch bag. I love the one shoulder detail, which gives the gown an extra dash of sexy.
See below for some items inspired by this Golden Globes look!
Annalise doesn’t hate you, Laurel, but she might be hatin’ on your style…
On last week’s episode of How To Get Away With Murder titled “She Hates Us,” Laurel Castillo (Karla Souza) mixed business casual with biker chic in a gray sweater dress and black leather jacket.
The sweater dress has a really cute button down front that’s lined with black fabric, adding an extra dimension to the garment.
I couldn’t find any of the original items Laurel wore in the episode but I did manage to find two similar dresses and faux leather jackets to help you pull off this look.
September has ended and the end of the year is nearing. Gosh, where did it all go?
This month brought a ton of fall season premieres and amazing music from some of my favorite artists. Here are my favorites in pop culture for September:

1. Legless model Kanya Sesser. Just goes to show you can’t let life beat you down. Make the best of any and all situations.
1. “Can’t Feel My Face” (Cover) by Karmin. I was waiting for something awesome to happen in this cover and it did, and it was hella good. (see what I did there?)
1. The Mindy Project, “While I Was Sleeping.” I’m so happy this show didn’t die because of FOX. And OMJ engagement!
2. The Late Late Show with James Corden, Episode 77. Of course I’m going to be partial to this episode because I watched it live. And come on, BRADLEY COOPER DANCED. HOW COULD I NOT LOVE THIS?
In honor of Viola Davis’ Emmy win, I’ve dedicated this week’s Fan Art Fridays to a GIF of the actress holding her well-deserved trophy. I found the GIF on Tumblr, and below the cartoon version of Viola it reads,
“The only thing that separates women of color from anyone else is opportunity.”
