Ever since it first debuted, ‘Scandal<\/strong><\/em>‘ has been my Thursday night must-see TV obsession, as it is for most people I know. I don’t remember what I did on Thursday nights before ‘Scandal<\/em>‘! And now that the show is on a two-month break, I think I can speak for my fellow ‘gladiators’ in asking “What in the world are we going to do?!<\/em>” If you’re not watching ‘Scandal<\/em><\/a>‘, let me tell you – you are missing out! Each and every episode is a roller coaster ride full of drama, emotional twists and turns, and lots of scandalous behavior! And of course, there’s my favorite thing – fashion – expertly tied into each week’s plot.
\n\"Holiday<\/a>
\nI won’t delve into the storylines of the series (you can read these<\/a> recaps<\/a> for that) but the fashion is something to be desired. Costume designer Lyn Paolo<\/strong> dresses Kerry Washington<\/strong> (as Olivia Pope<\/a>) in the way you’d expect a Washington powerbroker<\/strong> to dress – in crisply tailored power suits and an enviable collection of structured trench coats and jackets (from the likes of Gucci<\/strong>, Burberry<\/a> and Ann Demeulemeester<\/a>), mostly in white and neutral tones. Plus she accessorizes her with a covetable designer tote (Prada<\/a> and Celine<\/strong> are her favorites), classic pumps and most recently, sleek leather opera gloves via Dorothy Gaspar<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

What Olivia Pope’s wearing\/using\/drinking has become just as important and noteworthy as the plots themselves! So because of that, I’ve put together a shopping guide of holiday gifts for the Scandal<\/em> lover, inspired by what Olivia wears\/uses on the show, plus a few fun extras! Get into it!<\/p>\n

1.<\/strong> Get Olivia Pope<\/strong>‘s Farrah Fawcett<\/strong>-style ‘do with this Merle by Vivica Fox wig<\/a>. It’s made of human hair so you can style with or without that side bang. (Olivia’s power strut not included.)
\n2.<\/strong> Olivia’s outerwear wardrobe is off the chain and she proves you can’t go wrong with a neutral coat like this Burberry Brit Mid-length wool-blend trench coat<\/a>.
\n3.<\/strong> To complement Olivia’s wardrobe, Denise Hooper<\/strong>, Scandal’s makeup department<\/a> sticks with natural color cosmetics, like the Clinique Chubby Stick Moisturizing Lip Colour Balm in Whole Lotta Honey<\/a>.
\n4.<\/strong> To accompany all of her other luxe accessories, Olivia recently has been sporting the Movado Ladies’ Concerto Two-Tone Diamond Watch<\/a>.
\n5.<\/strong> What ‘s the perfect way for us ‘gladiators’ to fill our empty Thursday nights for the next two months? By catching up on previous seasons of ‘Scandal<\/em>‘, of course! Get Scandal: The Complete First Season (2012)<\/a>\"\" and Scandal: The Complete Second Season (2013)<\/a>\"\" on DVD.
\n6.<\/strong> Olivia’s been carrying a neutral-hued bag that has now become a new ‘It’ bag: the Prada Glace Calf Twin Pocket Tote Bag<\/a>, Off White (get the suede version here<\/a>)
\n7.<\/strong> Olivia and her mom Maya are bringing back elegance in outerwear by donning Opera-length Leather Gloves<\/a>.
\n8.<\/strong> CND manicurist Lisa Wong created a signature nail polish shade for Olivia by combining CND Cosmetics Shellac Cocoa<\/a>\"\" layered with CND Cosmetics Shellac Romantique<\/a>\"\".
\n9.<\/strong> Every career woman needs a pair of nude pumps in her life, like these Prada Pointy Toe Pumps<\/a>.
\n10.<\/strong> Olivia likes to unwind after a long day (which is EVERY day for her) with a glass (or three) of red wine, like this 2009 PoggioVerrano 3 Red Blend<\/a> (part of the A Taste of Italy TRIO).
\n11.<\/strong> And she drinks it out of these Crate & Barrel Camille Wine Glasses<\/a>.
\n12.<\/strong> It’s Olivia’s job to fix crises, including personal ones, so she uses multiple phones for work and play (including a special phone just for Fitz<\/strong>). This BlackBerry 8520 Smartphone in White<\/a> is one of her faves.<\/p>\n

Which gifts will you be getting for the Olivia Pope\/Scandal lover\/gladiator in your life?<\/strong><\/p>\n
