This month was the month of subscription boxes! Earlier, I received my first Rocksbox. What’s that? For $19 a month, you get a box containing 3 pieces of beautiful designer jewelry worth up to $200! Feel free to wear it as much or as little as you want, and when you have had your fill, go ahead and send it back. As soon as you do, you get another fun box full of new sparkly goodies. Plus, if you fall in love with any of the pieces and just have to have it, there is always the option to buy! For an accessory addict like myself, it was a no brainer.

Fandom of the Month Club
It’s that wonderful time of the month again: Fandom of the Month delivery time!
As you can remember, I posted about my first delivery a little while ago on the blog. I was so excited to see that it was Doctor Who themed, and I was equally as excited to see this month’s: Harry Potter! It was like kismet with our first Geek Girl Brunch having the same theme just this past weekend (post for that coming very soon)! I mean, my nails even matched, people. It was meant to be.
Nerdy Must Haves
1: LSP Cardigan; Oh my glob. Now that I work in an office setting where the A/C is fully cranked to frigid, cardigans are my new best friends. Naturally, I have to show my geek side even when playing the role of a professional, and this LSP cardi would be the perfect compliment to any outfit. As usual, We Love Fine strikes again with absolutely amazing fangirl wear.
2: Luna Purse; Everyone’s favorite magical cat on a purse? How could you go wrong. Seriously, this purse is too cute and the epitome of geek chic. With subtle illusions to Luna Cat with pointy ears (which are on fleek fashion-wise anyways) and a crescent gold moon, you could rock this little baby to any event and get complimented by all – you just might get some extra squee’s from those in the know.
3. Adult Coloring Books; These are all the rage since articles have been published stating that coloring reduces stress and anxiety. Honestly, I’ve always been a fan of coloring, so now having all these options is making my little heart smile. Unfortunately, all of Johanna Basford’s beautiful books are currently on backorder, but I just got this one which is a great substitute. Plus, the amazing Jordan of Jordandene.com is going to start sending monthly free coloring book pages to all subscribed her mailing list, so get on it!
4. Espionage Cosmetics Nail Wraps; Finally! Someone realized that geeky girls like their nails to look good too! Espionage Cosmetics has the most adorable nail wraps that makes manicures as easy as 1-2-3. Plus, they are all geeky or fandom in nature, which will come in handy during convention season! Check out the rest of their products too, they are great!
5 Fandom Friday: Games I Love To Play
Brought to you by The Nerdy Girlie & Super Space Chick
I used to be a huge gamer when I was a kid, so the majority of my video game memories and expertise lies in the original NES console. I did get really into the Nintendo Gamecube while I was away in grad school, and at times played my hubby’s PlayStation, but otherwise, my favorite games tend to be tabletop. Honestly, there is nothing better than a game night at Casa Sanchez and I wish we could have them more often!
1. Clue: Sherlock Edition
OK, so the Brits refer to it as ClueDO, but it’s exactly the same as the classic Clue game we all grew up with. This edition just switches out all the elements you have grown to love with characters and settings from BBC’s Sherlock. Um, what’s not to love? I can literally play this all day and not tire of it. It’s such a blast.
The Age of Adaline {Fashion Through the Ages} & GIVEAWAY!
I’m sure all of you have seen the trailer for the new Blake Lively flick, The Age of Adaline. The film revolves around a woman that somehow was able to remain 29 years old for almost 8 decades. She manages to keep this a secret until she falls in love. The rest can get a little dicey. Naturally, a film spanning 8 decades is going to focus on fashion and The Age of Adaline does just that.
I thought it would be fun to show you all how you too can fool people into thinking you are ageless with your fashion – all it takes is incorporating a few key pieces from different decades into your modern wardrobe. Check it out!
70’s.
I tend to gravitate towards 60’s and 70’s styles. I love the more flared silhouettes and free flowing fabrics. Not to mention all the fun hair accessories! With that said, it’s easy to incorporate these looks into a modern outfit. I personally think this would make a great music festival outfit (think SunFest, South Florida locals…). Pair a basic crop top with a pair of extreme flare jeans, add a fun flower headpiece and your most comfortable pair of sandals and boom! You got a retro modern look that would make anyone flash the peace sign your way.
