My Favorite Female TV Characters

When I get obsessed with a TV show, I get really obsessed. Like, stalking-the-tumblr-hashtag-and-watching-YouTube-videos-of-“shipped”-couples-daily obsessed. When I was younger, my true TV loves were Lizzie McGuire & Degrassi. As I’ve grown up, my obsessions have changed . . . however one thing has remained constant: the presence of stylish, hysterical and powerful lead female characters. Call me crazy, but I’d rather watch these ladies kick some ass, both literally and figuratively, than Robb Stark or Chuck Bass any (well most) days. Check out my Top 5 TV heroines . . .

 

Blair Waldorf {Gossip Girl}

Blair has to be my one of my absolute favorite fictional characters of all time. Whether I’m admiring her latest headband & tights combo, sitting in awe over her verbal smackdowns, or watching her fall in & out of love with Chuck Bass, I can’t get enough.

 

Marnie, Shoshanna, Hannah & Jessa {GIRLS}

Okay so this one is a little bit cheating, but I have never related more to a group of women on TV than these four GIRLS. Their man drama, friendship woes, and hysterically accurate real-life dilemmas (like when Hannah got the Q-Tip stuck in her ear and was laying on the floor calling her parents? That’s me.) make them an amazing quartet to watch week after week.

 

Daenerys Targaryen {Game of Thrones}

In case you’re new here, let me explain: I looooooove Khaleesi. There is nothing like a woman scorned finally coming into her own, ready to show all of Westeros how badass and intelligent she is. Plus, she’s pretty much the most beautiful bleach blonde woman I’ve ever seen and I want to own each & every one of her maxi dresses.

 

Naomi Clark {90210}

90210 is definitely one of my guilty pleasures, and they have a lot of leading ladies. Even though Naomi is insanely wealthy & could have been a vapid character that’s defined by her money, they’ve done a lot with her. I am always rooting for the hardworking Naomi with her career, friendships & relationships.

 

Ja’mie King {Summer Heights High}

If you have never seen Summer Heights High, you may be saying, is that a man? And the answer is yes. If you like to laugh, I highly encourage you to go find the first episode of the show online, and be prepared to LOL with Ja’mie’s insane quotes, hysterical stances on current events, and fabulous fashion sense.

 

Who are some of your favorite female TV characters? Also – any shows you recommend I become obsessed with next? xx

I was so excited to hear ThirdLove opened a store on Walnut Street because, as much as you guys knowwww I love a good online shop & try on, bras do give me a bit of pause when I haven’t been measured in store. The new Philly location gives us truly the best of both worlds. 

If you are looking for a reason to shop, ThirdLove is offering Her Philly gals 15% off with code EMILY15 - either in-store or online - now through 2/15! Get those Valentine’s Day goods! 😘

Keep watching to see my experience with my incredible fit stylists & which ThirdLove bras were my favorite. I know a lot of you are fans of the brand - any pieces I must try next?!
