What I Wore: Ugly Christmas Sweater

I hope all of you had a great Christmas! The end of the year is upon us, and I am so happy to see it go. It has been a year of very high high’s and very low low’s. It often felt like I was riding a roller coaster that kept twisting, turning and dropping despite my requests to get off. But I stayed steadfast and here I am. For that, I am proud. I am trying to close this chapter of my life and start fresh in 2015, along with everyone else. This new year has a lot of promise so I am excited to see what paths it leads me down.

With that said, you can’t close out the year without rocking an ugly sweater at some point. It has become quite the trend, but surprisingly this was the first time I participated. I knew I had to find the right geeky kind of ugly, and was immediately drawn to this great Avengers one! It’s no secret I’m a Marvel girl, so I had to have it. I got a lot of compliments on social media for it, so I figured I would do a fun post featuring it and giving you all the chance to snag your own!

Merry Christmas!

A very Merry Christmas from Mr. & Mrs. Melificent!
May you enjoy every second with your families and friends.
Catch you all next week!

Nerdy Must Haves

1; Sailor Moon Selfie Stick; I just recently broke my selfie stick (somehow, some way) so I have been mourning its passing ever since. Then, this glorious creation appeared on my radar. A Sailor Moon selfie stick in the shape of Usagi’s moon stick. I mean. Perfection. In the name of the moon, grab it now for nearly half off!

2; Dark Side Maxi Dress; I love me a sleek and classy fandom outfit, so this Dark Side maxi dress made me swoon. Super sexy and fun enough for nights out on the town, but discreet and glam enough for events and parties! Plus, it’s a maxi, which means it wears like comfy pajamas but still screams hot. Pair it with some Darth Vader studs and studded sandals, and you will be the epitome of geek chic. You’re welcome.

3; Groot Skater Dress; I am so happy I stumbled on Living Dead Clothing. They are the ones that sell those fabulous Sailor Scout dresses, so I was thrilled when they announced a Guardians of the Galaxy collection. I honestly love it all, but this Groot skater dress stole my heart (kinda like Groot himself).

4; Sherlock Pin; I have to thank my buddy in all things geek, The Nerdy Girlie, for this amazing find. I don’t think it gets any cuter than a squishy Sherlock brooch for all us crazy Cumberbitches. He’s easily transportable and provides such a perfect, subtle fandom touch to any outfit. I especially like the way Megan styled hers recently when she went clue-ing for looks!

What I Wore: The Dark Defender of Brunch

So sorry for my absence, everyone!!! Life got in the way, as it usually does.
But I’m back! And plan on being back regularly – I have a lot of big things planned for 2015 and I can’t wait to share them all with you!

Can we talk a little about brunch? I’m obsessed. I’ve always loved breakfast food the best, and lord knows I love me a good mimosa. Over the weekend, we just discovered the best of the best brunch spots in Miami: Rok Burger. Why are they the best? FREE MIMOSAS TO ALL LADIES. You had me at free. I can’t wait to possibly host our first Geek Girl Brunch there come April!

With that said, we have been experiencing some pretty delicious sweater weather here in Miami, so I’ve been having fun layering girly with geeky. Sunday brunch was no exception. I’d like to think I did my job when the bartender was shocked at my birth date when she carded me, “What! You are deceiving with your little batman outfit.” Score.
