We Love Fine: Force Friday Wears

I’m a little late to the Force Friday party, but better late than never!
As the majority of you know, today the new Force Awakens merch was unleashed upon the world, and geeks took advantage. You may have been running after that much-lusted-over BB-8 (one of my friends snagged one and ohymygodicantwaittoplay), but I’m here to share some pretty awesome geeky wears because rebels need to look good while they are fighting against the evil and twisted Empire. Am I right?

One of my absolute favorite geeky fashion retailers, We Love Fine, just released a new line of Star Wars merchandise to coincide with the holiday? Yes, lets call it that. They have some pretty amazing dresses designed by Catherine Elhoffer that range from short & sweet to dark & sinister. And yes, ladies, those are pockets you see. Can it get any better? You know you will just HAVE to snag one of these cuties for opening night in December, and remember to grab a piece or two for your dude too! I especially love this Aloha Vader Shirt.

As usual, not one piece is over $50 so you can definitely build up your new Star Wars wardrobe for all the fun affairs in the months and even years to come (hello, expanded Star Wars Disney Parks). For WLF’s complete Star Wars line, click here and may the force be with your wallet you.

Unboxing Vlog: Fandom of the Month Club

It’s that time of month again! I absolutely adore Fandom of the Month Club, and this time around, wanted to showcase my reactions in real time. So here you have it – video footage of me squee-ing in delight over this month’s goodies! Additionally squeeworthy? I’ve been featured on their Instagram not once, but twice in a week! Small pleasures, my friends.

Please remember to subscribe to my channel – I can’t wait to continue recording footage. But I need your help – what do you want to see??

Indie Comics: Saga & The Wicked and The Divine

Processed with VSCOcam with f2 preset

I am very far behind in my comic reading. I started Sandman, but to be completely honest couldn’t get into it at all (I know, blasphemy). Then I was recommended two indie comics by a friend, and picked them up at our last visit to Tate’s Comics. I am so hooked on both Saga and The Wicked & The Divine! I’ve only read the first volume of the two, but I cannot get enough. I know I’m the last one to jump on the Saga bandwagon, but better late than never I say!

What I Wore: Goddess of Thunder {Fifth Sun Giveaway}

I’ve reached the point in my pregnancy where comfort is key. Although I don’t look as large and in charge as I feel – trust me, it’s hard to maneuver around these days (especially getting up from bed), so I appreciate a comfortable outfit. However, that doesn’t mean I need to compromise on style. What I’m loving lately are these great maternity leggings that were a hand-me-down from one of my good friends paired with a longer and roomier fandom tee or tank. I’m loving this floral Thor tee from Fifth Sun! It’s the perfect combination of girly and geeky that speaks to my little fangirl heart.
