Don’t doctors look good on TV these days? Zach Braff manages to look good on Scrubs and don’t get me going on Grey’s Anatomy.

You normally couldn’t buy scrubs that look that good. The scrubs used on the shows are often made by costume designers just for the show.

The designer’s got smart, you can now find Katherine Heigl scrubs and Grey’s Anatomy scrubs. As a nurse I find the names a little cheesy. But the scrubs are actually fantastic looking nursing uniforms that fit like clothing, not a uniform.

Take a look at the Elle Runway Shows page.

Dior shoes. Well worth the look.

If you like fashion magazines, pick up an Elle subscription, it’s one of the best fashion magazines out there.

Remember the old nursing uniforms? You can see pics from the last hundred years here.

Well today, Katherine Heigl has a line of scrubs, and there are baby phat scrubs.

Fashion is certainly progress, isn’t it?

Aubrey O’Day on the catwalk at the MTV Fashionista show. According to the Fashion Police over at E! Online, “This hideous green top looks one-part Christmas wrapping paper, one-part barfly.

According to Buenos Aires-based designer Carolina Aubele the poncho is a basic. “It’s like a cardigan or a blazer, only more functional. You can dress a good poncho up or down, you can wrap it like a scarf, you can even use a poncho as a blanket.”  Aubele has designed a very good starter poncho for fall, knit from wool, with ombré dye and fringed ends.
