Life with Luna: Strangeways Studio {+ GIVEAWAY}

swsheadpic

I think I have to keep my eyes peeled because someone is trying to steal my job. Namely, little baby Luna is getting way too good at these ootd’s. She’s such a ham, and although she hates getting dressed these days (you would think I was killing her!), she has a blast grinning for the camera. Definitely my daughter. 😉

All of you know that I’m a fan of shopping small whenever I can, and that I adore finding fandom related outfits for the babe. This can be super hard to do, especially if you are trying to remain on budget. This is why I am totally obsessed with StrangeWays Studio. I personally think they have the best selection of fandom onesies out there that won’t break your bank in half. And it doesn’t hurt that the majority of their inventory are for fandoms I absolutely adore. Potter? Parks & Rec? Doctor Who? Yeah, sign me up.

You may remember a much tinier Luna showcasing their stuff on the blog before, and we are just as in love a few months later. I can’t recommend their soft and stretchy onesies enough. Luna is currently sporting their 6-12 month size and I can see her wearing them for a very long time. They hold up to multiple wears and washes very well too, which is important.

Geek Girl Gang Giveaway!

Who wants to win the first Geek Girl Gang pin set?
They sold out in the first week they were released, which was so humbling and amazing for me. I had always wanted to start my own business and product line. I knew I wanted it to reflect my personality and what I wished there was more of out there in terms of fashion/accessories for the modern geek girl. I never thought that something I created would be wanted by other people, and it’s an amazing feeling.

My husband and I are hard at work building a website and getting all the logistics figured out on how to open a small business, while I just finished designing the 2nd pin set. Look out for that set to be released on Instagram before the opening of the site and our first shirts. We are trying to set our sights at officially opening as a legit business in mid-summer, and I hope to do a little South Florida convention tour.

But! In the meantime, here is your chance to win our first set, which includes the four 1″ buttons featured above. It would be the perfect flair for your SDCC outfit this July! All you have to do is:

  • Add GeekGirlGang on Instagram
  • Comment to this post with what you would like a future product release to be on Geek Girl Gang!

A winner will be chosen at random a week from today, Wednesday, the 25th!
Good luck, geek girls!

A Very Potter Mother’s Day with TeeFury & JordanDene {COUPON CODE INCLUDED}

IMG_8978

Last year was my first Mother’s Day as a mommy, even though little Luna was still in my belly. It was the day we revealed the gender to my close family and I remember it being such a special day. This year, I actually have a little one to hold and love and call my own. What a difference a year makes! I’ve learned so much since then, about so many things – one of which is leggings are a mom’s best friend.

I love these TeeFury leggings because they leave me feeling comfy and geek chic. Although the Potter emoji’s are my favorites, they have a whole lot to choose from so check them out! Not one to leave my little munchkin out of the geek fashion game, Luna is rocking her best Jordan Dene. If you want the perfect comfy geek wear for your little fangirls or boys, definitely look into her Younglings collection!

Geek Girl Gang Launch

geekgirlgangmain

I’ve wanted to start my own business for a very long time now, but I was always scared. In the words of Empire Records’ Lucas, “in the immortal words of The Doors, the time to hesitate is through.” It is time to launch my own product line, and I’m beyond excited. I’m going to take things slow and do them the right way. Geek Girl Gang will offer both pins and tees that cater to the hip geek girl. The kind of girl that enjoys a good cocktail with her latest issue of The Wicked and The Divine. The kind of girl that is not ashamed to shout her love of fandom, while also having her shit together. Basically, the kind of girls I know and love. Powerful, intelligent ladies that get down with geekery. Chances are, if you are reading this blog, you are part of that gang and I want to salute you!

I am launching on Instagram (so follow GeekGirlGang now!) with my inaugural pin set. The set of 4 pins will go for $6 including shipping (to the US, contact me for international rates), and you can comment on the post in order to be invoiced. I am currently working on designing my first tee and hope to have it available before the summer convention season! I’d love all your support by adding the account and spreading the word. I’m really excited to go down this new road, but also a bit terrified.

I’d love any feedback, so share what you think in the comments!

What I Wore: Mother of Dragons

IMG_8377 copy

Our most recent Geek Girl Brunch was held at Earls in Dadeland Mall and it was Game of Thrones themed. The season 6 premiere is upon us (so, so excited) and I wanted to pay homage to my favorite character, Daenerys Targaryen. I knew I didn’t want to go full cosplay, but rather casually by emboding her vibe in something more wearable. I found such a perfect dress from Forever 21 – I don’t think I could have done better! What I love the most is that the pale blue maxi is absolutely on trend for upcoming summer days, so I see myself getting a lot of use out of it.
