What I Wore: Americana

DSCF2969

Welcome June! I think it is safe to say that we are starting the Summer season. Although it’s a little harder to rock a bikini and beers on the beach can no longer describe a typical weekend, I still adore this time of year. I love shedding (even more) clothing and enjoying the balmy sun. Everything revolves around a pool or ocean, and I definitely do not complain. Plus, my birthday is right around the corner! What’s not to love?

This is a perfect example of dressing your bump without touching the maternity section. This incredible tunic is extremely long and roomy, which means that I can wear it throughout different stages of my pregnancy. Being 18 weeks in these shots, I’m still able to crop it to strategically cover my bump, but still show some (appropriate) skin. Later on in my pregnancy, I’ll be able to let it loose as a true tunic and wear it with leggings. My shorts also still thankfully fit me (with a little hair tie science), so I’ve been rocking them while I still can! See? Maternity.not.needed.

What I Wore: My Little Luna

DSCF2860

I know, I know. You may be bored of this look, but it’s just so perfect and comfortable now that my expanding waistline gets in the way of most outfits. I’ve realized I totally hate pants this pregnancy, so if you have any good looking and comfy maternity pants to recommend, that would be great. Until then, I’ll be rocking leggings, shorts and dresses come November. Just kidding, I’ll bring you something different next week, I promise!

Seriously though, this look lets me inject a little personality into my weekend outfits, which I gladly welcome. Basics can be so boring to me. Also, when did my bump grow so much??

What I Wore: Free Comic Book Day

T5616x3744-00028

I know it’s been a couple of weeks since Free Comic Book Day, but I hope all of you were able to participate and have a great time! I’m a little embarrassed to say that our favorite local comic book shop, Tate’s, had such an enormous line for free comics that we opted to just spend money in-store instead! We got some great toys, books and art, and I was even able to leave some Geek Girl Brunch flyers behind! Overall, it was a really great day and such an appropriate time to sport my new Harry Potter polo from 1138 Clothing.

This adorable top is often paired with a custom made house skirt, but my expanding mid-section did not allow me to pick up a matching skirt. All is well though. This keeps me and Luna open to all houses. 😉

What I Wore: Modern Witch

_MG_8180

As most of you know, last weekend was the first Geek Girl Brunch Miami, and I clearly had to dress the part. Unfortunately, the outfit I had planned didn’t make it to my mailbox in time, so I had to improvise. Now rocking a bump, improvising isn’t that easy, but I think I made it work. For all those preggo ladies, or just those that are curious on how they can make outfits work when they are preggo one day, I swear by the maxi dress.

Not just a boring maxi dress, of course, but throwing a fandom crop (or tank) over it. You will probably see this in some way, shape or form over the span of my pregnancy, so I’m sorry for that. I grabbed my Gryffindor crop and pulled it on top of a comfy maxi, paired it with my favorite witch hat and bam! A modern take on Hermione on her way to brunch with her girlfriends.

The Age of Adaline {Fashion Through the Ages} & GIVEAWAY!

AgeD3-010.dng

I’m sure all of you have seen the trailer for the new Blake Lively flick, The Age of Adaline. The film revolves around a woman that somehow was able to remain 29 years old for almost 8 decades. She manages to keep this a secret until she falls in love. The rest can get a little dicey. Naturally, a film spanning 8 decades is going to focus on fashion and The Age of Adaline does just that.

I thought it would be fun to show you all how you too can fool people into thinking you are ageless with your fashion – all it takes is incorporating a few key pieces from different decades into your modern wardrobe. Check it out!

70s70’s.
I tend to gravitate towards 60’s and 70’s styles. I love the more flared silhouettes and free flowing fabrics. Not to mention all the fun hair accessories! With that said, it’s easy to incorporate these looks into a modern outfit. I personally think this would make a great music festival outfit (think SunFest, South Florida locals…). Pair a basic crop top with a pair of extreme flare jeans, add a fun flower headpiece and your most comfortable pair of sandals and boom! You got a retro modern look that would make anyone flash the peace sign your way.
