What I Wore: A Star War

img_1128-copy

We had our last Geek Girl Brunch of the year opening weekend of Rogue One, so naturally, we made it a viewing brunch. Miami has a dine in theater that is now offering brunch items on their menu, so we went for it! As usual, I had a great time with my geek girls, but man – did that movie blind side me. Sure, you could tell me that I should have known better, but with everything that has been going on this month, I just really didn’t have time to think about movie plots or theories. I cried the.entire.time.

I don’t know if it was just poor timing after all the stress and anxiety I’ve been under after Luna’s hospitalization, but I just lost it. It felt good to have such an ugly cry session though – especially surrounded by nearly 20 other girls doing the exact same.

Nerdy Must Haves

Tardis Peter Pan Top; if you have followed this blog for some time, you already know my love of the peter pan collar. I just find it so kitschy and whimsical, and it literally transforms any simple look into something a little more special. That’s why a peter pan collar combined with one of my favorite fandoms, Doctor Who, is just a perfect marriage. This cropped tee would look absolutely perfect with a high waisted skirt or jeans. Le swoon!

Magical Girl Gameboy; again, another mashup I’m a big fan of. Growing up in the golden age of Nintendo, Gameboys were all the rage. Combine that with glitter and magical girl symbology? I’m so sold. One up your pin game with this pretty.

Floral Artemis Pin; I stumbled upon the beautiful artistry of Alex Strangler via Instagram stalking and I am so glad I did. She is a tattoo artist that makes the most beautiful accessories and prints, and this Artemis pin is no exception. It’s unfortunately sold out, but there are some temporary tattoos of the design available. If you ask me, I’d prefer the real deal!

Cat Collar Blouse; I’m not a big fan of cats (ugh, allergies), but I do love them on my fashion pieces. This blouse sports the cutest kitty wrapping its little body around your neck (as one does), and I can see it working both for casual Fridays at the office and nights out with your girl gang. Snag this more affordable version on eBay.

What I Wore: The Tardis + The Enterprise

This past weekend we got to enjoy a date day. Although I adore being a mother and am borderline obsessed with my daughter, I really appreciate the time my hubby and I get alone. We went to one of our favorite haunts, had copious glasses of wine and then headed to see the new Trek film. I can’t say I was a fan of the new installment, but I thoroughly enjoyed our Saturday afternoon.

I don’t get to wear short skirts that much anymore, so I took the chance and wore one that I had tucked away in my closet untouched, and unworn. Sure, I was seeing a Star Trek movie, and I was jaunting around in a TARDIS skirt, but…does it even really matter? Who knew this fantasy-nut would grow to love sci-fi so much? Not me, that’s for sure!

Her Universe x Hot Topic | Star Wars Fashion Collection

Her Universe has teamed up with Hot Topic to bring us geek girls the most gorgeous Star Wars fashion line ever. Sure to make a killing with the upcoming holiday season and the release of The Force Awakens, what I love most about this collection is that not only is it beautiful, but it is also affordable! This is such a golden era of geek girl fashion. I am floored on the regular with the quality and craftsmanship of fandom-related clothing and accessories. Geekery and fashion can finally go hand in hand (as it always should have), and I am loving it.

The collection is available at select Hot Topic stores and online now (& on sale)!
What’s your favorite piece?
I’m personally lusting hard over that Boba Fett bomber jacket (although the Darth Vader jacket is hot as hell too) and am adding it to my Christmas list stat!

What I Wore: Dainty Avenger

Processed with VSCOcam with f2 preset

I’ve been feeling very feminine lately as my bump grows in size. With Luna a little over a month away, I am really playing up my new figure and having so much fun with what’s already in my closet. Naturally, things get a little more fun when I’m able to get some geekery in on my daily looks. I am a sucker for girly touches, and one of my favorite details is a Peter Pan collar. I am instantly drawn to any top or dress that sports one, so naturally this Avengers Assemble tee from Her Universe was the perfect addition to my wardrobe. It’s nice, soft and stretchy, which is much appreciated during pregnancy and allows for a lot of high-waisted pairings, such as one of my favorite tulle skirts. Once the two are together, it just screams girly kitsch, so obviously I had to finish the look with a frilly headpiece.

And yes, this is my bedroom. It’s becoming harder and harder to pose outdoors the farther I get in my pregnancy. I overheat and feel super weak, so you may see some changes to my style posts in the weeks to come! I’m also trying out photographing myself with a tripod, which has been challenging, but also freeing. Let me know what you think!
