Target Goes to the Upside Down

While doing my weekly Target run (who am I kidding, I go about once a day), I stumbled on a treasure trove of Stranger Things merchandise. If you are like me, you are beyond stoked for the new season to premiere this week, so I figured I would share all the goodies with you all here.

All these great styles are also available in plus sizing.
Wanna go shopping? Have fun.
I think I should have earned some sort of geeky fashion blogger badge by managing to not buy one item (although that 11 sweatshirt has really been calling to me since I saw it).

Happy binging in the upside down, readers!

Nerdy Must Haves: La Barbuda

So I don’t tend to make monthly Nerdy Must Have posts center around one shop, but that’s how amazing I find La Barbuda to be. I have followed and purchased from her shop for some time now but her designs and products have gotten progressively better and better. She totally slays the geek chic aesthetic and I am absolutely obsessed. I’m really truly sorry if you feel the same shortly after reading through this post {not really}.

Girl Power + My MoboVida

Even though things might still be rocky these days, I love the continual emphasis of girl power. I love that ladies are aware of their power and strength and are passing that knowledge and confidence on to their daughters. I am the forever optimist and believe that we, together, will make a change. It may not be today or tomorrow, but we are still doing good. I beg you all to believe in this good and be the good.

That’s why I decided to dress up my new MoboVida case with an Eleven sticker. She represents a lot to me, but mainly strength, sacrifice and MUTANT POWERS. Just kidding, but not really. I like having a strong female emblazoning something everyone that interacts with me gets to see – it’s always a conversation starter! So if you are looking for a way to make something otherwise utilitarian a little more geeky, my vote is for a sticker of one of your favorite characters or sayings. It will not only make your accessories more geek chic, but it will also be a visual reminder of something that makes you happy or inspires you.

Nerdy Must Haves

Eat the Rude patch; this one is for all those Fannibals out there. One of the greatest lines ever, “eat the rude,” has become the take away quote for Hannibal fans. I think this patch would make the perfect addition to your fandom vest/jacket. If you are like me, and are putting together fandom-specific vests/jackets (currently working on my Sailor Moon one), then I suggest getting your hands on more affordable ones through AliExpress. Don’t say I never hooked you up, ladies! 😉

Potter Baby Bandana; something that really saved our lives and baby Luna’s style when she was suffering from severe acid reflux was baby bandanas. Rather than having her in an ugly and bulky bib when we would go out on the town, we would put one of these cute bandanas on and it would catch all the spit up, while not impeding on fashion (because duh, Luna has to keep up her reputation). This Potter ugly sweater one is so perfect for the upcoming holiday season. I’m not the only one swooning over it either, because it is currently sold out. Make sure to let PetiteGeekChic know you want more!

Kylo Ren print; all hail Nan Lawson! She has been one of my favorite artists for awhile now, and her work can be found scattered all over my house (most recently in Luna’s nursery), but she has been churning out some quality fandom prints lately. I featured her Kylo Ren, but she has a complimentary Rey (wouldn’t they look great facing each other???), an amazing Eleven, and this touching Snape print.

Stranger Things pin; if you are like me (and everyone who ingests pop culture like it’s air), you are a fan of Netflix’s Stranger Things. It’s everything that is good with the world, and makes my little 80’s heart happy. I am thrilled to see so many artists making swag to honor it, and I cannot wait to add this sweet Hopper pin to my collection.
