Nostalgia is something that is the driving factor behind so many trends online. We look back on our childhood and together we appreciate and remember things like Barbies to Bratz dolls. The internet has brought back their popularity over the past years, realizing the how great the fashion these dolls have and one of these that have been trending recently, are the historic line of the American Girl Dolls. American Girl Dolls were very popular in the early 2000s. They came with books of their stories and each are from different time periods.

In this I’ll be covering how you can create a costume after the doll Kit. Kit is one of the iconic dolls from the line and her story is one that takes place in the 1930s. To dress like Kit, wear a dusty rose shirt under a dusty rose cardigan, a floral skirt, and white shoes. Take a white knitted cap and add a green ribbon tied in a bow on the side. Pair with a straw clutch.

Mr. Boss is a character in the Adult Swim cartoon Smiling Friends, now streaming on HBO Max. He is the boss of Smiling Friends and the only human character in the show. Mr. Boss appears elderly but he is quite active and enthusiastic for his age. While highly eccentric, he truly cares about making people smile. He also truly cares about his employees. Put on a gray toupee to complete the look.

Alfred Drevis is the major antagonist in the pixel horror game ‘Mad Father’, created by Sen, and is the titular character that the game is named for (in title, rather than name).

He is Aya Drevis’ (the main character) father, and the game takes place inside of their home, where his scientific creations are roaming the halls as zombie-like doll people. He enjoys experimenting on people to see if he can preserve them at the moment of death, to preserve their beauty.

Alfred has short, light brown hair, and dark (possibly brown?) eyes, that he wears glasses over. The outfit that he’s mainly seen in during the game is a black, slightly open collared, long sleeved button up shirt, a long white labcoat, greyish brown slacks, and dark brown shoes.

Brittany Miller (voiced by Janice Karman) is a supporting character in the cartoon series Alvin and the Chipmunks.  She is the sister of Jeannette and Eleanor and the lead singer of their group The Chipettes.  Brittany is sassy and can come across as a little entitled, but she shows care for her sisters and Alvin.  To recreate Brittany’s 80s look, you’ll want to start with light purple leggins and a hot pink leotard.  Layer a ruffled skirt and a capelet over the leotard (you may want to turn the capelet backward so the ruffles are more visible in front).  Then, tie a pink scarf around your neck into an oversized bow and add light purple shoes and yellow leg warmers.  If you don’t want to style your own hair, choose a wig with bangs and a half-up style.g

Sabrina Carpenter has been going viral online for her new song and music video Espresso, and is making us so ready for summer.

Her vintage-inspired beach looks in the video can be easily recreated for your summer vacations and poolside outfits. Starting with her visor, take an orange retro style visor. You can create the graphic on it by using white acrylic paint on the top that reads ‘Espresso’. With this she wears her hair in 2 low pigtails, gold starfish earrings, and a blue gingham bikini with a bow on the top. Other looks in the video feature other accessories like pastel pink and yellow scarves, the yellow folded and tied as a wide headband and the pink covering her hair. She also wears a black bow headband and black vintage-style sunglasses with a black one-piece swimsuit. Finally, some other swimsuits she wears is a light blue one-piece that is a dress style and a hot pink bikini worn under a teal blue mini dress.

Perry the Platypus (voiced by Dee Bradley Baker) is the pet of Phineas and Ferb who lives a double life as secret Agent P of O.W.C.A. The rest of the time, he doesn’t do much crawling on all fours as a mindless smelly animal.

Glep is a character in the Adult Swim cartoon Smiling Friends, now streaming on HBO Max. He is a miniature green critter who wears a purple wizard hat. He works at Smiling Friends though it’s unclear what his job is. Most times, Glep is sitting in a bean bag chair watching a video on his tablet. He speaks Gibberish. When auditioning for the role of Mr. Frog, his punchline was spitting afterward.

Gus is one of the main characters from the Netflix series Sweet Tooth, and is played by Christian Convery. Sweet Tooth follows Gus who is a boy that is half human and half deer as he travels through a post-apocalyptic world with help from a man named Tommy.

To dress like Gus, wear a red flannel under an orange puffer vest. Over that wear a nylon belt around the waist and attach a woven pouch to it on one side. Pair with blue jeans that you can distress with things like brown paint and sand paper or scissors to break it down. You can also cut out various shades of denim swatches and glue or sew them on the jeans. Over the jeans wear a rope belt, and additionally you can tie yellow embroidery floss around it to be even more accurate. Finally, wear black boots and of course deer antlers.
