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: Favorite Funko Pop Figures

I’m a little late to jump on this bandwagon, but better late than never, right? My sweet sister from another mister, Megan, from The Nerdy Girlie came up with this fun idea to combat writer’s block and I loved the concept! This week’s theme really spoke to me considering I have turned into a Pop fanatic seemingly overnight. I have a huge wish list (and no place to store them), so enjoy my most wanted.

1. Hannibal Wendigo Pop; there’s no denying that I absolutely adore Hannibal. It’s my favorite show that’s currently on TV, and I am all about the new Pop figures! I have Hannibal, but let’s face it. His Wendigo alter ego is by far the coolest of the collection, and, unfortunately, the one that is always out of stock at every store I go to. However, I’ll keep the faith that this little baby will be in my hands soon. I accept gift donations. 😉

Fandom Leggings

Leggings. I immediately think of Daria’s obnoxious sister, Quinn.
You just heard her voice in your head, didn’t you?

I had been on the fence about leggings for quite some time. Probably because I see people mistaking them for PANTS. Pants they are not, my friends. They are meant to be worn with an over-sized tunic top or any top that at least covers your crotch and the majority of your backside. If not, I (and everyone else) sees more than they signed up for at any given moment (especially when you bend over – yikes).

With that said, when worn appropriately, I have grown to love them. They are comfy and easy to wear, plus the fandom world has taken to creating all sorts of character and story driven leggings. This means more room in your luggage when packing for conventions, as you can just roll them up into a tiny little log of goodness. However, their price tag has always made me think twice. They usually run between $60-100 and I just couldn’t justify paying that for a pair of leggings I would just wear to specialty events.

But low and behold! I have discovered this fantastic Etsy shop that I have decided to share with all of you, velvetcoc. Unfortunate name aside, they sell amazing fandom leggings for $18 and are currently holding a 2-4-1 sale!!! The seller is located in China, so you will have to wait for your goodies with bated breath, but honestly, it only took 2 weeks for my pair to arrive. Not too shabby!

I’m crossing all body parts that she’ll add Doctor Who inspired leggings next!
