Nerdy Must Haves

collage

Today’s Nerdy Must Haves are all fashion-centric! I’m having a case of wanting what I can’t have. Since I’m currently on a hardcore weight loss regime (low carb diet, exercising daily), it’s silly for me to think about buying clothes because I don’t know where I’ll be on the scale in a week, much less a month (I was able to lose 2lbs in my first week back at it!), but I still must HAVE ALL THE THINGS. You know how it is. #girlygeekproblems

X-Files dress; Confession time. I’ve never watched The X-Files. Go ahead. Stone me. I remember being really scared by the premise (I am terrified of aliens) so I refused to watch. Funny enough, I watched the movie and loved it. Even funnier enough, I adored Fringe and list it as my top 5 shows ever, and it is heavily influenced by The X-Files. Go figure. Regardless, I love this X-Files inspired dress and feel the need to have it even though I’m not a fan. I realize how ridiculous that is though, but it speaks volumes for the cut and design of it!

Brunch tank; Although this isn’t necessarily “geeky,” being a Geek Girl Brunch officer, I find ways to tie in brunch and mimosas to geekery. I’ve always loved brunch, but now it seems like the entire world has hopped on board. Honestly, what’s not to love – especially if you can find a spot with bottomless mimosas or free ones. 😉

Maleficent earrings; I’m always down to show my blog’s namesake a little love when it comes to my fashion choices, so I am completely in love with these earrings. They are just the right amount of understated that I gravitate towards. You could pair these just as easily with a work outfit as with one you’d wear to a Con, so they are the ultimate versatile geeky accessory. Sold!

TARDIS galaxy dress; As you can tell, I love a good Peter Pan collar (damn you, Clara Oswald). When I saw that Hot Topic had introduced a Doctor Who fashion collection, I immediately had to check it out. This dress immediately stood out to me as completely adorable and unique (who else is sick of that Her Universe TARDIS dress?), so I whispered “treat yo self” to myself as I added it to my cart. I also checked size small because it’s good to have goals, amirite??

Review: Walgreens’ Vixen’s Kiss Lip Color Set (Maleficent)

 

Hey everyone!
I picked up a pretty rad lip color set from Walgreens last week and wanted to share the results with all of you! Enjoy my first makeup review on the YouTube channel and please let me know what you think! I’d love to do more of these and incorporate more YouTube action into this blog. If you like what you saw, definitely subscribe to The Fangirl Diaries channel & share with your geeky girlfriends!

ps; you will see a huge decline in posts very very soon, but please stick with me! I’ll be getting acquainted with my new baby girl and adjusting to all the new demands of motherhood. I’ll be back on schedule before you know it!

Geek Out: Maleficent

As you can all imagine, I was pretty stoked for the premiere of Disney’s Maleficent starring Angelina Jolie. I was there opening night and wanted to make sure I dressed the part. Although the horns pictured were the bestie’s, I think I paid tribute to my favorite Disney villain while still staying geek chic. Unfortunately, Disney did not. I was disappointed in the way they portrayed Maleficent, whom to me is a very powerful female character. However, I’ll stop there. Our full review is posted on The Fangirl Diaries Youtube channel so make sure to check it out!

Squeeworthy: Fun Finds @ Target

Like any good bargain shopper, I love me some Target (or Tar-jay)!
I especially love their new Marketplace – such a peaceful way to grocery shop…but I digress.

However, this time around I was surprised with some of the fun items I found all for less than $3.
No effin’ joke here.

Maleficent cereal bowl – $2.78

Oh yes, you know I had to grab this one! I don’t even know how I spotted it, but for all those Disney fans, they have a complete Disney villians collection. Online it shows this as part of a set of 6, but it was all by its lonesome at my local Target for that spectacular price. Rummage for your own!

Owl Buddies – $1.00

Yes, you read correctly. I was able to find this adorable duo in the famed Dollar Spot for a dollar each! I could hardly believe my eyes, so naturally a grabbed a pair for myself and another for my owl-obsessed buddy. Unfortunately, I just swung by Target again today (told you it was one of my favorites), and they were already gone. All Targets are different though, so give it a look-see just in case 😉

Paul Frank magnets – $1.38

I love that Target carries Paul Frank products, and not only for the kiddies. I’ve picked up thank you notes, napkins and now magnets for my refrigerator! How cute are they? I love how they compliment all our fun photo booth images I have wallpapering my kitchen appliances. P.S., who can you spot on my fridge?

Happy shopping!

Weekend Highlights: Halloween Edition!

This weekend was so much fun I could hardly stand it, but I didn’t expect anything less. It is no secret that I have a pretty serious love affair with Halloween and really enjoy dolling up for the festivities. Saturday night we had the annual AgencyNet Halloween party in their new digs. I finally unveiled my secret costume that I had been concealing for several months now – Maleficent! Thanks to the Academy of Glam, I was able to really perfect the look with some kick ass makeup. All other pieces were picked up randomly through Amazon stores and American Apparel. I’m really happy with the way the costume turned out and it was a little too fun to be evil for a night. Although, I have to admit that perfecting a villainous bitch face was tough!
