What I Wore: The Force Awakens Premiere

I finally got to see The Force Awakens this past Saturday! It was also the first date my hubs & I have gone on since Luna was born, which was a really nice and needed outing. Funny story: my hubs and I first met at an advanced screening of Episode II, so I believe our first date after baby to be kismet!

As for the movie, I’m not out to spoil anyone, so I’ll just say I loved it. It exceeded all my expectations and one scene in particular will forever remain engraved in my mind as being so moving. It made me whisper, “it’s about time” to myself with tears in my eyes.

With that said, I knew I had to have fun with my outfit! It was hard to plan with my new post-baby body ever evolving, and I feel like I didn’t nail the look I had in my head 100%, but this new bum seemingly cannot be contained in a skater skirt no matter what size! Also, pro-tip: don’t wear a very short skirt on a very windy day. Derp.

We Love Fine Launches New Star Wars Line

Are you sick of Star Wars fashion yet?
Good, because I’ve got more coming at you this week!

We Love Fine continues to slay when it comes to geeky fashions and I’m totally obsessed with their new Star Wars collection. Now that I’m working out on a daily basis, I have my eyes on the rebel emblem joggers, and would wear the rebel dress on the daily. I love that it’s so girly! For my darker side, I’d indulge in both the darkside denim jacket and stormtrooper dress (possibly paired together). Swoon!

If you want to check out more from the line, go here and preorder now!

What I Wore: My Backpacks Got Jets {Sent From Mars Giveaway}

Christmas season is upon us, and for those geeky individuals like ourselves, this holds a little more meaning this year: Star Wars! That’s right. We are mere weeks away from the premiere of The Force Awakens, which is incredible to wrap my head around. I totally remember seeing the first teaser, and feel like that was just yesterday. A lot has happened in a year for me – little did I know while watching that teaser that I would be a mom to an amazing baby girl and collaborating with such an amazing shop as Sent From Mars!

I had been a big fan of Mari’s work before we both were nominated for Geekie Awards, but that’s when our relationship blossomed. Mari is beyond talented and makes the most beautiful fandom-inspired leather clutches that are sure to make your wallets weep. I had such a fun time putting together a Boba Fett-inspired outfit around this one amazing clutch (& was pleased I am starting to fit into some pre-pregnancy clothes), and am even more excited that I can give you guys the opportunity to snag one of your own in time for the premiere!

Star Wars Fashion Round Up

Yes, I know.
My blog has turned into Star Wars HQ, but if you are a geeky girl like myself, I doubt you are complaining all that much (hopefully). With The Force Awakens premiere quickly approaching, a very important question arises: What will I wear?!?! I’m here to take the guess work out of it for you because there are some seriously awesome Star Wars threads out there to choose from! Here are some of my favorites;

Rebel Pilot 2-Piece Dress; I have been in love with this dress from 1138 Clothing for awhile now. I adore the pin up vibes and have been dying to snatch one of my own to wear to a local con. However, it works just as well for a fancy premiere outfit – maybe if you and your significant other are making a date night out of it? Or even a geeky first date!

BB-8 Skater Skirt; BB-8 is everyone’s new favorite – it’s undeniable. How can you say otherwise when he is so flippin’ cute! It also helps that his vibrant orange hues paired with grey and black make the perfect palette for fun fashion pieces. This skater skirt by Go Follow Rabbits is absolutely adorable and can be paired with either a black or white basic crop top to really nail that flirty but geeky look!
