Luna is growing by the minute, which is making it really fun to dress her. She is finally filling in and fitting into more of her quirky, stylish outfits and although she still can’t leave the house or have visitors, it doesn’t stop me from dressing her up for just the two of us. That’s what cooped up fashion bloggers find themselves doing to pass the time. 😉
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!

Christmas season is upon us, and for those geeky individuals like ourselves, this holds a little more meaning this year: Star Wars! That’s right. We are mere weeks away from the premiere of The Force Awakens, which is incredible to wrap my head around. I totally remember seeing the first teaser, and feel like that was just yesterday. A lot has happened in a year for me – little did I know while watching that teaser that I would be a mom to an amazing baby girl and collaborating with such an amazing shop as Sent From Mars!
I had been a big fan of Mari’s work before we both were nominated for Geekie Awards, but that’s when our relationship blossomed. Mari is beyond talented and makes the most beautiful fandom-inspired leather clutches that are sure to make your wallets weep. I had such a fun time putting together a Boba Fett-inspired outfit around this one amazing clutch (& was pleased I am starting to fit into some pre-pregnancy clothes), and am even more excited that I can give you guys the opportunity to snag one of your own in time for the premiere!

Although I absolutely adore the ugly Christmas sweater trend, I have to admit that I’ve never actually been to or hosted an ugly Christmas sweater party. The closest I came was going to a small get together with friends where we had to wear one, and of course, I made mine Marvel. 😉
Since the rise in popularity of this trend, the geeks have taken over and there are a slew of nerdy sweaters you can choose from for the upcoming holidays. I know I definitely want to wear one Christmas day, even though it will surely be just as steamy and humid as any other unbearable Miami day, but all these options are making it so hard to choose!

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?
