Nerdy Must Haves

collage

Today’s Nerdy Must Haves are all fashion-centric! I’m having a case of wanting what I can’t have. Since I’m currently on a hardcore weight loss regime (low carb diet, exercising daily), it’s silly for me to think about buying clothes because I don’t know where I’ll be on the scale in a week, much less a month (I was able to lose 2lbs in my first week back at it!), but I still must HAVE ALL THE THINGS. You know how it is. #girlygeekproblems

X-Files dress; Confession time. I’ve never watched The X-Files. Go ahead. Stone me. I remember being really scared by the premise (I am terrified of aliens) so I refused to watch. Funny enough, I watched the movie and loved it. Even funnier enough, I adored Fringe and list it as my top 5 shows ever, and it is heavily influenced by The X-Files. Go figure. Regardless, I love this X-Files inspired dress and feel the need to have it even though I’m not a fan. I realize how ridiculous that is though, but it speaks volumes for the cut and design of it!

Brunch tank; Although this isn’t necessarily “geeky,” being a Geek Girl Brunch officer, I find ways to tie in brunch and mimosas to geekery. I’ve always loved brunch, but now it seems like the entire world has hopped on board. Honestly, what’s not to love – especially if you can find a spot with bottomless mimosas or free ones. 😉

Maleficent earrings; I’m always down to show my blog’s namesake a little love when it comes to my fashion choices, so I am completely in love with these earrings. They are just the right amount of understated that I gravitate towards. You could pair these just as easily with a work outfit as with one you’d wear to a Con, so they are the ultimate versatile geeky accessory. Sold!

TARDIS galaxy dress; As you can tell, I love a good Peter Pan collar (damn you, Clara Oswald). When I saw that Hot Topic had introduced a Doctor Who fashion collection, I immediately had to check it out. This dress immediately stood out to me as completely adorable and unique (who else is sick of that Her Universe TARDIS dress?), so I whispered “treat yo self” to myself as I added it to my cart. I also checked size small because it’s good to have goals, amirite??

Fandom of the Month Club: 1 Year Anniversary

FOTM Club

It’s hard to believe that Fandom of the Month Club has already been around for a year! It’s even harder to believe that I’ve been with them since {nearly} the beginning. I think I jumped on board the 3rd box, and have been hooked ever since. Sure, some months have not corresponded to my fandoms, but it’s always nice when I’m able to gift an entire set to a friend (and that’s only happened twice). This month, the team was teasing a bigger and better set with it being their anniversary and all. I was so incredibly excited to see what goodies it would hold and I was not disappointed.

First off, all the pieces were for fandoms I adore, so that made me grin from ear to ear. There was a TARDIS ring, dragon stud earrings, a mockingjay keychain, Harry Potter charm bookmark, and my personal favorite: a LOST necklace. I had such a ridiculous fangirl moment when I saw it – and it’s commemorating one of the most gut-wrenching scenes with my favorite character. I’m not joking when I say I may wear it every day. Erin mentioned that she would love to do an entire LOST themed set, but she didn’t think that it would be received well. That makes my heart so sad. I would absolutely LOVE to see what she would curate – can you imagine a DriveShaft ring?

Everything included was awesome, except I have to admit that I was a little confused by the bookmark. I actually had no idea what it was when I initially opened it. My husband and I racked our brains trying to figure it out, and it wasn’t until someone commented on the official Instagram that I found out it was a very elaborate bookmark. This is the one item I was a little disappointed in. Sure, it is absolutely gorgeous, but it’s very heavy and I don’t think very practical to actually be used as a bookmark. Again, the charms are so beautiful, I would have liked to see them be used for something like a charm bracelet. Now that would have looked killer.

Overall, I was really happy and know I’ll be sticking with this subscription service for the long haul!

Life with Luna: Mini Time Lord OOTD

w&w

Luna has finally started to grow out of some newborn clothes, which means we can start having more fun with her wardrobe (lets face it, NB clothes isn’t the hippest)! I love fun, hip baby clothes as much as the next mom, but obviously I’m always shopping around for fandom related threads for my little one. This is a way harder feat than you would imagine – especially if you want these baby clothes to still be fashionable and trendy. That’s why I nearly passed out when I discovered Willow + Wither while on an Instagram rabbit hole (what I call clicking on one account, that leads to another, that leads to another…).

Kara has the most amazing fandom-inspired baby clothes you have ever seen! From Doctor Who to Supernatural, she covers all the bases in the most geek chic way. And she doesn’t stop at baby clothes – she also makes most of her pieces in adult sizes, which means you can rock some seriously geeky mommy and me outfits! I’m so glad she was willing to send me a few of her TARDIS pieces so that I could show them off on little Ms. Luna. I have to say, she looks pretty spectacular as a pint-sized time lord, don’t you think?

What I Wore: Doctor Who?

Processed with VSCOcam with f2 preset

South Florida’s 3rd Geek Girl Brunch was held yesterday and it was such a blast! We were lucky to be hosted by the fabulous Bad Boys of England Pub in Dania Beach, FL and even had our own little private room to get all wibbly wobbly and timey wimey. Aside from the fun surrounding the event, I had a blast styling some pretty amazing Doctor Who fashion! It’s not easy getting ready for our Geek Girl Brunches lately, so I thank the heavens for stretchy skater dresses. They give me the comfort I am really desiring lately, while still accenting my belly in the cutest way! This one by KYOCAT Clothing is beyond adorable. Being in the geek fashion world, it can get tiring to see the same Doctor Who dresses at events, so when I saw this beautiful ribcage design with two beating Doctor hearts, I immediately fell in love. I always support independent designers and Marlo behind KYOCAT makes some pretty stunning pieces. I am personally lusting after her Sailor Moon designs!

And this hat. Lets talk about the amazingness of it, shall we? I adore all kinds of hair party, so I naturally had to snag this beautiful TARDIS floppy hat by Geeky U. The craftsmanship is beyond, and it really helps shield from the insane Miami sun. I can’t wait to wear it for what’s left of our summer – how cute would this look paired with a bikini?

Fandom Friday: Crossovers That Would Cause My Heart to Explode

Fandom Friday

tumblr_static_wholock_better_yes

1. Doctor Who/Sherlock; I’m sure this comes as no surprise to all my fellow BBC fangirls. This is the crossover that we have always hoped would happen, but have succumbed to just reading plenty of fan fiction. Have you guys seen this excellent mash up? It will only make your heart ache more for this project to actually happen.

2. Sailor Moon/Adventure Time; I am pretty quick to state that I think anything should be crossed with Adventure Time – it just lends itself to make any world a little more fun and bright. However, the image I used above definitely sparked an intense desire for it to happen with Sailor Moon. The anime can be pretty silly at first, but then progresses to some heavy themes. Think how adorable it would be a little more light hearted??? And with Jupiter as Marceline, what! Need this now.
