Eat the Rude patch; this one is for all those Fannibals out there. One of the greatest lines ever, “eat the rude,” has become the take away quote for Hannibal fans. I think this patch would make the perfect addition to your fandom vest/jacket. If you are like me, and are putting together fandom-specific vests/jackets (currently working on my Sailor Moon one), then I suggest getting your hands on more affordable ones through AliExpress. Don’t say I never hooked you up, ladies! 😉

Potter Baby Bandana; something that really saved our lives and baby Luna’s style when she was suffering from severe acid reflux was baby bandanas. Rather than having her in an ugly and bulky bib when we would go out on the town, we would put one of these cute bandanas on and it would catch all the spit up, while not impeding on fashion (because duh, Luna has to keep up her reputation). This Potter ugly sweater one is so perfect for the upcoming holiday season. I’m not the only one swooning over it either, because it is currently sold out. Make sure to let PetiteGeekChic know you want more!

Kylo Ren print; all hail Nan Lawson! She has been one of my favorite artists for awhile now, and her work can be found scattered all over my house (most recently in Luna’s nursery), but she has been churning out some quality fandom prints lately. I featured her Kylo Ren, but she has a complimentary Rey (wouldn’t they look great facing each other???), an amazing Eleven, and this touching Snape print.

Stranger Things pin; if you are like me (and everyone who ingests pop culture like it’s air), you are a fan of Netflix’s Stranger Things. It’s everything that is good with the world, and makes my little 80’s heart happy. I am thrilled to see so many artists making swag to honor it, and I cannot wait to add this sweet Hopper pin to my collection.

Being Geek Chic: Vacation Outfits

No matter where you are going these last few days of summer for a little R&R, there are always ways to incorporate a little geekiness into your outfits. Now, I know I may be weird, but one of my favorite things to do is to plan vacation outfits. I don’t get to do much of that lately since vacationing isn’t as spontaneous or consistent as before, but when I do, it’s like a form of therapy. Plus, it makes it so much easier to get ready in the morning and get to having fun when you already know exactly what you are going to wear!

To show you how easy it is to incorporate your fandoms into your vacation wear, I put together 4 different looks for 4 different destinations.

beach

It’s been so hot down here in Miami lately, that a beach vacation would be at the bottom at my list at the moment. But for those of you up north dying for some sunshine and tropical cocktails (lets face it, I’m always down for those), just pair a geeky one piece with a pair of shorts and a large hat to shade you from those dangerous rays, and you’ll be good to go! I was able to put together this look incorporating geekdom with all three elements – who says you have to stick to just one fandom? Nay, I say!

festival

It’s always been a dream of mine to attend a music festival outside the state, namely: Coachella. I feel like I would probably pass out from heat and feel completely disgusting, but it would be worth it for that incredible line up. I put together this rockin’ outfit for those of you fellow music lovers. I believe the best kind of music is live music, and you’d definitely be able to enjoy it in a fandom tank (special shout out if it ties in with an amazing punk band, like this great Potter/Ramones mashup) and stretchy ripped pants. And, of course, no festival look is complete without a flower crown and big ‘ol shades!

Life with Luna: Little Bear Butt

IMG_8965

If there’s something I love more than dressing my little one, it is supporting other geeky mamas like myself. That’s why I adore shopping small and getting the majority of Luna’s wardrobe from Etsy. One of my favorite shops is Little Bear Butt, as it’s not only run by one of these geeky mamas, but she’s also from South Florida so it is a win/win.

She makes the most adorable shorties and pants for your little ones that span the whole spectrum of fandom: from Disney princesses to Hogwarts wizards. I’ve been buying stuff from this shop since before little Luna was born, if you can believe it, and the love only continues to grow. They are so soft and stretchy, which is perfect for these little growing bodies. Luna loves all her shorties and pants, but we are especially showcasing these two fun designs today!

First Travel with Baby

IMG_8656

I know we didn’t hop on a plane, but at 8 months, we decided to take our first vacation with the little one. It was a short 2 hour drive up north to the West Coast of Florida where we basked in the sun’s rays for a weekend in Marco Island. We met up with family and had a really good time. I was dreading a possible disaster, since you tend to hear a lot of horror stories about traveling with a baby, but things were relatively uneventful.

We had to change some of our usual beach habits: getting used to the fact that we will not be able to complete a nice cold adult beverage in one sitting (mine would become warm and need multiple ice refills due to it just sitting there for sometimes hours untouched), one of us having to head back to the hotel room to put her to sleep if she was resistant on falling asleep on the beach (aka; every time), and sand eating. So much sand eating.
