Most Memorable Scene: Buffy Summers leaving Sunnydale

I don't know why I was thinking about this ending to the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode Becoming part 2 (season 2 episode 22). It's just so sad because not only did Buffy save the world but in order to do that she lost a lot. First, in order to leave her house to save the world, Buffy had no choice but to tell her mother Joyce that she was the Slayer. And in doing so, her mom told her if she goes out that don't bother coming back home. Yes, her mother said that in anger but she still said it. But Buffy had to stop Angel from releasing a demon that would destroy the world and that cost her something as well. Because right before she closed the demon's portal, she had to send Angel through it in order to close it. And that was sad because Willow Rosenberg's spell worked by returning Angel's soul to him and he was no longer the evil Angelus but it was too late.

With the world saved, Buffy truly felt like she had nothing left. No home, no love and no sense of being. Edit to add: I forgot she got kicked out of school which left her with another thing she lost. So she took her mother's words to heart and left Sunnydale. This was just so sad. And not to mentioned they added such a sad song to the scene, "Full of Grace" by Sarah McLachlan. I haven't watched this episode is so long, I don't know why I was thinking about it.

Christmas Countdown Day #7: Buffy and Joyce looking for a Christmas tree (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)

It's the seventh day until Christmas and I'm posting this scene from the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode Amends (season 3 episode 10). In this scene, Buffy Summers and her mom Joyce were shopping for a Christmas tree. While they were shopping, Joyce asked Buffy to invite Faith Lehane over for Christmas since she will be alone for the Holiday. Yet Joyce didn't want to invite Rupert Giles over since he will also be alone for the Holiday. I guess it was due to what happened between them in the episode Band Candy (season 3 episode 6) and she was still feeling awkward about it. Was the candy the reason her and Giles had been all over each other or did they always have feelings for each other?

It's interesting that Joyce sort of dismissed Buffy's reluctance to invite Faith over. Especially after Buffy and Faith had gotten into a big fight when Faith was trying to kill Angel in the episode Revelations (season 3 episode 7). Anyway, I know it's the spirit of the season, which is why Buffy did invite Faith over even if she didn't really want to.

Most Memorable Scene and Quote: Buffy Summers and Rupert Giles (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)

Buffy: Hello? Is anybody here? (startled) Ooo! Anybody's here!

Giles: Can I help you?

Buffy: I was looking for some, well, books. I’m new.

Giles: Miss Summers.

Buffy: Good call. I guess I’m the only new kid, huh?

Giles: I’m Mr. Giles, the librarian. I was told you were coming.

Buffy: Great! So, um, I'm gonna need 'Perspectives on 20th Century...'

Giles: I know what you’re after. (He pulled out a book titled “VAMPYR”)

Buffy: That’s not what I’m looking for.

Giles: Are you sure?

Buffy: I’m way sure.

Giles: My mistake. So, what is it you said...

~ Buffy Summers and Rupert Giles, Buffy the Vampire Slayer season 1 episode 1: Welcome to the Hellmouth

I love this scene because Buffy Summers and her mother Joyce had recently moved to Sunnydale after there was a bad incident at Buffy's old high school, Hemery High in Los Angeles. During the Senior Dance, she had fought off a large vampire attack at her school which ultimately lead to the school's gym burning down (see the Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie). This left Buffy with a bad reputation as a troubled student.

So this move to Sunnydale was a fresh start for her and hopefully away from both being a Vampire Slayer and the supernatural world. Which is why at this point, the last thing she would ever want to see was that VAMPYR book. I don't know why Rupert Giles thought it would be a good idea to show her that book. Especially since he only introduced himself as the school's librarian and not as a Watcher (someone who guides and trains the Vampire Slayer). She didn't know who he was and that just made the experience for her weird and creepy.

Fashion Meets Fandom: Buffy Summers

Buffy Summers had amazing style and during the earlier seasons of Buffy the Vampire Slayer she wore a lot fun and trendy clothes especially cute mini dresses paired with boots. I was inspired to create an outfit that was cute but still functional. What I always found interesting about Buffy's wardrobe is that she wore regular everyday clothes instead of something "slayer" specific to go up against vampires and other supernatural being that were preying on her small town, Sunnydale.

To get a Buffy inspired look, I picked a blue flowy sleeveless shift dress and black boots. I love this look because it's simple and effortless yet fashionable. The bold blue color is balanced out by the classic style of dress and black boots. This feels like a very classic Buffy look but with a slightly modern touch. To give the look a little something extra, you could add a blazer or jacket.

Fashion Meets Fandom: Buffy Summers (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)

It's been 16 years since the finale episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer aired and Buffy Summers is still a style icon. She had one of the coolest wardrobes that included mini dresses paired with boots, cute tops paired with pants or jeans, sophisticated jackets and coats and her casual and chic sporty slayer clothes.

From high school student to wayward 20-something, her fantastic wardrobe always fit every aspect of her fast-paced and highly complicated life. I love this outfit Buffy wore in the episode Buffy vs Dracula, because even though she has to take on the Prince of Darkness, she looked amazing.

(Buffy the Vampire Slayer season 5 episode 1 "Buffy vs Dracula")

It's a simple yet stylish outfit of a long sleeve black top paired with pink pants as I said before just because she's fought the supernatural doesn't mean she had to wear drab and boring clothes. You don't have to be a vampire slayer to put together this classic look, because it only consist of two items. However, you can let Buffy's indomitable spirit inspire you to take on any challenges you face.
