{Geeky Hip}: Romper Room

I was so excited when I got my fun little romper from ModCloth last week! As you all know, I had been looking for a stylish, yet comfy outfit to wear to the Epicenter Festival for the Bush reunion and I was pretty sure I hit the nail on the head with this cute romper. However, I had never ordered from ModCloth before so I wasn’t sure what to expect quality or fit wise. I was pleasantly surprised when it fit perfectly! This little number is the perfect summer outfit – it’s airy and sweet. The perfect accompaniment to a poolside BBQ, a beach bike ride or in this case, a summer concert.

So for those of you wondering if ModCloth is a viable option while doing a little online retail therapy, I can give it a really big thumbs up! I’ve just noticed that if you have your eyes on a certain item, don’t dilly dally. They seem to sell out pretty quickly so you have to act fast!

Have a happy geeky Tuesday!

Rockin’ Concert Outfits

As you all know, I’ll be attending Epicenter Fest in Ontario, CA next month to see my beloved 90’s band, Bush, reunite for their first concert together since 2002. I’m really thrilled because I know I’m going to have a great time, but need to get that perfect outdoor festival outfit lined up. I’m all about comfort when it comes to concerts, but that doesn’t mean you have to look any less stylish and cute. While engaging in my favorite Internet hobby: online shopping, I decided to put together a summer concert  series of my own consisting of outfits that are not only comfortable and climate controlled, but also stylish and affordable. Yea, you can thank me later đŸ˜‰

1. Prop 8 Overturned

Wednesday marked a very important day in the state of California that will hopefully have a ripple effect on the rest of the country. A federal judge ruled that Proposition 8, which banned same-sex marriage, was unconstitutional and it was overturned. Being a fan of equal rights (um, who wouldn’t be?) and a firm supporter of gay rights, I could not be happier. In fact, I can’t believe that any sort of discrimination over whom you decide to love is still an issue in 2010 (or was ever an issue really). Congratulations, California!

{Geeky} Hip: So So Happy

While at Comic-Con a couple of weeks ago, I was lucky enough to stumble on the So So Happy booth on the Convention floor. It was like a slice of Melificent heaven: Lots of bright, fun colors and cute characters. They had tees, tattoos, pins and plushes, just to name a few and as if their products weren’t amazing enough, they had two wonderful people running the booth that were a joy to speak to. Needless to say, I left with a slew of goodies and can’t wait to shop at their online store for even more!

But you know what I love the most? The company’s message that we should embrace everything good in the world and treat everyone with respect and kindness. Each kind of bizarre character in their arsenal is supposed to represent each one of us that may be a little out there, a little eccentric, a little different, but still happy and worthy of everything this great life has to offer. Plus, 10% of all sales go to organizations such as Music Saves Lives and To Write Love On Her Arms, all charities that help today’s youth through different hardships. You just have to love a company that wants nothing more than to spread love, happiness and peace. It’s contagious.

So embrace your uniqueness and get so so happy…today!

Last night I was fortunate enough to be invited to the Cosmopolitan Summer Splash at the gorgeous Setai hotel in South Beach by fellow South Florida blogger, Rosy Cordero of Accidental Sexiness. This event is one of many during Miami’s Fashion Week. It was a pretty cool opportunity for me for many reasons: 1) I had never been to the highly regarded Setai (which lives up to the hype), 2) I had never been to a “big-girl” fashion show before and 3) it would be the first time I attended an event where I could network for Melificent!
