Nerdy Must Haves

1. Sherlock Crop; While we mourn the long and torturous wait that is the newest season of BBC’s Sherlock, we can at least look cute. This frilly cameo-style design makes it perfect to pair with high waisted jeans and a pair of Chucks for an understated fangirl look. For those of us rocking some new mom pooches, you can also layer it on top of a long tank or maxi dress.

2. Chibi Moon Skater Skirt; Something that will never go out of style in my mind is the high waisted skater skirt. I’m obsessed with them. In fact, it’s my go to when I’m putting together a geek chic outfit (the ones in my closet are *almost* fitting again), so if they already have a fun fangirl print, it is a no brainer when deciding whether it should be mine or not. This one is celebrating my newest favorite scout, Chibi Moon. Move over, Jupiter. Ever since becoming a mom, I love the sassy and adventurous spirit of Chibiusa!

3. I’m Your Mother Tee; Sure, everyone has seen plenty of merchandise, jokes and hashtags for “I am your father,” but how about giving the moms the love??? This tee does exactly that, and I am loving it! As both a Star Wars fan and new mommy, I couldn’t think of a better style staple to cover in spit up.

4. Star Wars Earrings Set; More Star Wars, I know. I promise I’ll stop…someday. But seriously, this set of little Star Wars themed stud earrings are too much! I think they are a little on the steep side coming in at almost $20, but I have to admit they are all sorts of adorbs and a subtle way to rock your love of the force on an every day basis.

Geeky Wears for your Bridal Party

If you have followed me for long enough, you know I love event and party planning, especially if I get to add some personal (& geeky) touches. There’s nothing like an event with personality, and I think having yours shine through is so important in making it unique. That’s why I absolutely love the growing trend of geeky weddings! There have been some really beautiful ones (this Star Wars one immediately comes to mind), and I want to show you how easy it can be to incorporate your fandoms in a classy & subtle way when dressing your wedding party.

Weddington Way has introduced a new Gents Shop, which makes the initial bridal party shopping even easier for you and your lucky friends and family. You can customize the guys’ suits to match perfectly with your little ladies’ frocks (which are also just a click away) without much stress, which is always valued during the craze of wedding planning. Once your outfits have been chosen (I dug the retro vibe of this Alfred Sung dress & grey herringbone suit), the fun can truly begin!

For the ladies, I honestly think the options are limitless when it comes to geeky components that you can add to their outfits. My personal picks were a pair of geeky earrings that compliment their dress (these heart pixel studs would really look great and subtle with an updo), a possible alternative bouquet that illustrates your fandom (totally love these Sailor Moon rods) and a nerdy manicure of either your or their choosing. These are such easy ways to incorporate the worlds you love into your most special day – and I promise none of your girls will complain – they are just too fun!

Dudes have it a little less easy. Suits and tuxes can be tough, but there are definitely ways to bring out the fanboy in any groomsmen. I like the idea of a subtle fandom-inspired pocket square to begin with. These can be matched to your wedding colors and feature a fun geeky design like these I found through Etsy, or be a physical prop, like this amazing Chewbacca pocket partner. I also love the look of a suit with Chuck Taylors, and these superhero themed ones would look so rad. Don’t believe me? Here is photo proof! Finally, a man isn’t ready to 007 without a pair of nice cufflinks, so lets make them geeky, shall we? These deathly hallows ones are just one of the many you can find scattered all over Etsy at affordable prices. I especially love when each of your guys has a different look like these awesome men!

Are you planning a geeky wedding soon? Do you want to?
What are your ideas?
I’d love to hear them in the comments!

Her Universe #SDCC Fashions

With SDCC fully underway today, I thought I would share with you some goodies that will be available at the Her Universe boutique in the LucasFilm Pavilion (along with a 2nd location this year at #1317).

These new designs are some of my favorites from the brand, with the girly Avengers dress really nailing it for me. The embroidered Peter Pan collar just slays it. I wish I could be telling you that I’d take detailed shots at the convention, but alas, Luna has other plans for me. For all of you lovely geek girls attending, definitely check out Her Universe’s multiple booths and come back with opinions and reviews!

What I Wore: Sherlocked

The Geek Girl Brunch Miami chapter had its 2nd brunch a couple of weeks ago, and the ladies chose Sherlock as the theme! Naturally, I was thrilled since it’s in my top 5 fandoms, so it was a blast to plan. I’ll elaborate more about it next week, but for now, you get to check out how I styled for the event 5 months pregnant.

It wasn’t easy. I have a lot of Sherlock apparel, but sadly, I am entering the “nothing really fits” realm when it comes to some of my fandom gear. I never want to just wear a t-shirt (I know, I’m speaking Miami girl right now), and my adorable Sherlock dress from Gold Bubble Clothing was skin tight before I started creating a little human. That left me with a pair of damask tights that kind-of replicated the infamous wallpaper we now all know and love. It’s actually almost the exact outfit I wore to last year’s SherlockedCC party at San Diego Comic Con with a few modifications!

Once again, leggings saved the day for this pregnant geek and I just piled high with related accessories to complete my fangirl look for the day. 😉

5 Fandom Friday: Characters With My Favorite Fictional Fashion

Brought to you by The Nerdy Girlie & Super Space Chick

This week’s prompt could not be more appropriate! I was so excited to see another fashion-themed topic, although this one proved to be a tough one! I adore so many characters’ sense of style so it was difficult to narrow down, but here are my top 5!

1. Jess {New Girl}; although I’m no longer a fan of the show (it just got old), I am obsessed with Jess’ wardrobe. I think it has something to do with the fact that Zoey Descahnel just decided to dress like herself because her every day wardrobe basically looks exactly the same. She’s one of my fashion icons, so…yeah, total no brainer.
