What I Wore: Jedi Academy

So I know what you may be thinking. Fall? Miami doesn’t have seasons. Isn’t it summer year round? Yes, my friends. This is true. But something happens naturally within me around this time of year, and sure enough, it happened again just a couple of weeks ago. The second the calendar flips through to September, something within me changes. Something just feels a little different and I know it’s that time of year: FALL. Time of pumpkin spice, less rain and better clothes.

Her Universe has definitely gotten the “better clothes” memo because their new Fall items are amazing. Now I haven’t gone “back to school” in what seems like ages, but this varsity style Jedi cardigan would be my go-to if I was still roaming those halls. It is absolutely adorable as it is lightweight, so it’s perfect for the early Fall months if you actually get real seasons or year round for us Miami-ans. It also looks great paired with your typical Fall colors like olive green and mustard, which I am rocking in this post. I decided to go for a full blown homage to Star Wars, so I swiped my hubby’s awesome baseball cap and the outfit instantly reminded me of attending a sporting event with cold beer in hand. MMmmm, beer. I will have you soon enough.

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!

Nerdy Must Haves

1; Tardis serving tray: So I may not be using this tray to serve afternoon tea (lets be real, it would be more like mid-day cocktails), but it would still make the absolute cutest geeky addition to a home. Like mine. Just sayin’. Buying it. What?
2; Discord Pop figure: I have to say that Discord is my favorite MLP character. No surprise there, I love me a bad guy. But real talk: isn’t he the cutest? I clearly need him in Funko form. Reality: I have no room in my home for any more pop figures and have a genuine fear that they might take over my life. Are there any support groups out there yet?
3; Rocket Raccoon tank: Cutest.Tank.Ever. Rocket & Groot were my favorite characters from Guardians of the Galaxy, so naturally this tank is a top must have. What kills me are the fuzzy ears and tail that come attached. They totally beg for whiskers and fangs to complete the look. Even more of a draw? It makes it perfect and easy to participate in some everyday cosplay, whether it be for a Disney visit or a convention!
4; Doctor Who hoodie: OK, I know what you are thinking – “I’m so sick of all this TARDIS merchandise.” Most of the time, I can agree, but I love this more discrete Doctor Who hoodie. The varsity style really makes it wearable and the slight nods to the fandom, such as the 63 to honor the year the show began, make it a nice touch for those in the know.

Nerdy Must Haves

It’s time for yet another episode of Nerdy Must Haves.
With the holiday season slowly creeping upon us, there is even more geeky goodness for us to feast our eyes on. This can be both overwhelming and awesome all at once for a shopaholic like myself, and just downright tragic for my wallet. Oh well, someone’s gotta live this coveted geek life, amirite?

Clockwise from top left;


1. Darth Vader studs; Her Universe slays it again with this pair of understated yet bad ass black hermatite Darth Vader studs. One way to remind others that the Dark Side has a classy side as well.
2. Marvel ugly sweater; I’m pretty sure I’ll be attending my first ugly sweater party this year, so I was pumped. Now, everyone knows doing flat out ugly just isn’t my thing, but this Marvel sweater? It was just all sorts of perfect. I can rock the geek chic while still being a little tacky (I mean, excessive patterning anyone?).
3. Tardis in space tote; I am so digging this subtle design. The more and more I work in my field of behavior analysis, the more I appreciate a good tote bag. You tend to accumulate all sorts of toys, reinforcers and general fun stuff as you grow as a therapist so I have multiple totes that I…well…tote around often. I can definitely see myself rocking this one to some of my sessions (hoping and praying someone would get the reference).
4. Sailor Moon body con skirt; I’m pretty sure this isn’t the first time I feature a Sailor Moon body con related item, but I just can’t help myself. I’m an addict and I’m OK with that. If I could permanently dress up as a Sailor Scout I would, and I’m pretty sure that’s an acceptable life decision. I mean, I’m an adult. Other adults feel the same because the skirt is currently sold out. Wah!

Geek Chic: The Dark Side

Come to the dark side, we have cookies.

On the heels of my post about mixed feelings towards leggings, I go ahead and make myself look like a somewhat hypocrite. Yep, here I am in leggings. But honestly, paired with this perfectly soft tunic tee and sneakers, I couldn’t have been more comfortable. In fact, I think I may have found my SDCC staple outfit, especially after a long night of drinking and dancing the night away. Leggings, I was wrong about you.
