Boohoo: Back to School

You know, this definitely shows my age but I am loving this 90’s trend in fashion these days. The other day, I went shopping and it brought a really big smile to my face to see things I used to lust over as a teenager but clearly could not convince my mom to buy. Hours and hours sifting through the latest Delia’s catalog and circling my favorites, which then led to calculating how much the grand total would be. It was always hundreds and hundreds of dollars (shopaholic since birth). It has been really strange being able to nab stuff off my teen wishlists, but I have to say, it’s been a complete trip to get to wear things from my youth.

I especially love the back to school collection from Boohoo because it looks like it came straight from Cher Horowitz’s closet, and I am so down with that. Like, if you were a 90’s teen and didn’t emulate her, were you even a 90’s girl? I personally wished that I had her revolving closet (and still do to be honest), but looking through this collection was the next best thing. I am beyond obsessed with these overalls, and I’m sorry for all my readers because you are going to see them over and over and over again. Can you imagine them paired with Mickey ears? Ugh, I can’t.

The Purple WOman

You are probably aware at this point that I have a slight David Tennant obsession. It started way back when (seriously, I don’t even know when), and have loved all his characters ever since. Needless to say, I think he was great in Jessica Jones as the not-so-nice Purple Man, and am beyond hyped to see that he will be making a return in one way or another in this new season (which drops this week – gah!). I wanted to style an outfit around his super-suave purple ensembles for both the premiere and this month’s Geeky Fashion Bloggers Alliance challenge (Marvel Villains).  Fun fact? As I was going down the escalator in the Hilton at San Diego Comic Con, David Tennant was chilling down below. I went full freeze and could not bring myself to go up to him. Instead I stared like a creeper from a few feet away because that’s so charming and effective.

That’s me, folks. That’s me.

What I Wore: Disney Chic

GUYS.
I have such big news and it is so exciting.
I AM A DISNEYWORLD ANNUAL PASSHOLDER.

Who knew that this Universal loving soul would go #Disneyside.
Well, I did. Naturally. I think I’ve expressed how crazy my Disney love used to be when I was younger. I even wanted to work for Disney when I was a kid being an animator (I used to draw. A lot.). I chose going to Disney with my closest friends over having a quinces and my 21st birthday was Stitch themed (F growing up, amirite?).

But this right here is like a level up. I was a pass holder for Universal but literally the second I became one, I got pregnant so that was all over. This is the first time I feel like an elite member of a theme park and I am so absolutely excited to take advantage of it. The moment Luna was born I knew I wanted her to be a Disney kid. I grew up on Disney and I can honestly say that it molded me and taught me a lot of great things. The most important: to dream. I love Disney’s message and although I can have my gripes here and there, I am a huge supporter of the Mouse. So the love was reborn when she came into the picture.
And here we are.
Look forward to a lot of fun Disney style posts in the year to come, and a whole lot of magic.

What I Wore: Mom Life

I’m not going to lie. The past few weeks have been real difficult over on the Melificent side of the world. Lets not even touch on all the current events unfolding that have both simultaneously broken my heart and angered me down to my very core. Of course, when I put my situation next to all that, I am eternally grateful to be alive, healthy and surrounded by love. But guys. Sometimes momming ain’t easy. And it takes a village. And, well. Some of us don’t have that village. So it’s been lots of hustling on the job side, while balancing all our to-do’s and being there for little Luna. This mom is exhausted.

I had been complaining that I wasn’t looking very cute lately, as I have been leaning towards more of the mom uniform and less of the fashion blogger. But, this past weekend I decided to blend them both. And what do you know? You really can find comfort and style while running after a toddler. Who knew?

What I Wore: To Boldly Go

IMG_6525

Our latest Geek Girl Brunch Miami theme was Star Trek, and I was having a moment. I had the perfect cosplay – a science officer dress that I wore for Halloween a few years back. I happily tried it on and….it no longer fit. My post-baby body just wasn’t having that bodycon fit for anything in the world, so I had to improvise. I’m actually really glad I had to because I would have never stumbled on this amazing neon space themed crop tee.

It was the perfect homage to “the final frontier,” while still keeping me comfortable enough to drink one too many mimosas, socialize with our brunchettes and have an impromptu dance party. Yeah, you heard me. That’s how Miami does brunch: with DJ’s.

Can we also have a moment of silence (or squee-ing?) for Studio DIY’s Can’t Clutch This subscription? My pop tart clutch is TOO.MUCH. It literally gives me so much joy every month, and who doesn’t need a little bit of that in their life?
