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!
Inaugural EC Boom Box
I was so stoked to hear that Espionage Cosmetics was launching their own subscription service full of geek makeup and accessories. For those of you not in the know, Espionage is the premiere retailer for all things both geeky and girly. They even made the hop from online to brick and mortar by opening up their own shop in Washington, The Geek Boutique. Their next endeavor, however, was one that spoke to my heart: a subscription box full of makeup, lifestyle items and accessories inspired by geekdom ($30/month). I was sold! So were a lot of others, apparently, because the first box sold out pretty quickly. I’m glad I was able to sneak my way in and snag a spot in time – the first box was so much fun!
Life with Luna: 8 Weeks
It’s incredible to me that I have a 2 month old baby! The days just meld into one another when you are at home with a newborn due to lack of sleep and the constant go-go-go, so it’s hard to keep track of time. I had to be reminded that Christmas is only a couple of weeks away. Where did 2015 go?
Anyways, Luna was quite a tough one for a couple of weeks, but has completely mellowed out once she hit the 8 week mark. She is sleeping almost as much as she did when she only a couple of weeks old, and often prefers to take those naps on me rather than in her rock ‘n play. This is totally cool with me – she is completely delicious and I’m slowly learning how to do most tasks with only one hand. She is also starting to respond more to social play – such as smiling and the beginning of giggles when I sing songs to her and giving me really big smiles when she sees me in the morning. It makes interacting with her even more fun.
We are still homebound for a couple more weeks, and I cannot wait to start taking her out with us. I definitely have cabin fever and want to start adjusting her to our social life: Wynwood Sundays, brunch, and mini-adventures. It will be nice to wake up and be able to ask our usual weekend tag line again: What are we doing today?? Of course, her vaccinations mark the end of my maternity leave, so I am both wishing for time to speed up and slow down simultaneously. I can’t imagine not being with her every day, but thankfully, I still will be three times a week.
