It’s that wonderful time of the month again: Fandom of the Month delivery time!
As you can remember, I posted about my first delivery a little while ago on the blog. I was so excited to see that it was Doctor Who themed, and I was equally as excited to see this month’s: Harry Potter! It was like kismet with our first Geek Girl Brunch having the same theme just this past weekend (post for that coming very soon)! I mean, my nails even matched, people. It was meant to be.
1: LSP Cardigan; Oh my glob. Now that I work in an office setting where the A/C is fully cranked to frigid, cardigans are my new best friends. Naturally, I have to show my geek side even when playing the role of a professional, and this LSP cardi would be the perfect compliment to any outfit. As usual, We Love Fine strikes again with absolutely amazing fangirl wear.
2: Luna Purse; Everyone’s favorite magical cat on a purse? How could you go wrong. Seriously, this purse is too cute and the epitome of geek chic. With subtle illusions to Luna Cat with pointy ears (which are on fleek fashion-wise anyways) and a crescent gold moon, you could rock this little baby to any event and get complimented by all – you just might get some extra squee’s from those in the know.
3. Adult Coloring Books; These are all the rage since articles have been published stating that coloring reduces stress and anxiety. Honestly, I’ve always been a fan of coloring, so now having all these options is making my little heart smile. Unfortunately, all of Johanna Basford’s beautiful books are currently on backorder, but I just got this one which is a great substitute. Plus, the amazing Jordan of Jordandene.com is going to start sending monthly free coloring book pages to all subscribed her mailing list, so get on it!
4. Espionage Cosmetics Nail Wraps; Finally! Someone realized that geeky girls like their nails to look good too! Espionage Cosmetics has the most adorable nail wraps that makes manicures as easy as 1-2-3. Plus, they are all geeky or fandom in nature, which will come in handy during convention season! Check out the rest of their products too, they are great!
I’m sure all of you have seen the trailer for the new Blake Lively flick, The Age of Adaline. The film revolves around a woman that somehow was able to remain 29 years old for almost 8 decades. She manages to keep this a secret until she falls in love. The rest can get a little dicey. Naturally, a film spanning 8 decades is going to focus on fashion and The Age of Adaline does just that.
I thought it would be fun to show you all how you too can fool people into thinking you are ageless with your fashion – all it takes is incorporating a few key pieces from different decades into your modern wardrobe. Check it out!
70’s.
I tend to gravitate towards 60’s and 70’s styles. I love the more flared silhouettes and free flowing fabrics. Not to mention all the fun hair accessories! With that said, it’s easy to incorporate these looks into a modern outfit. I personally think this would make a great music festival outfit (think SunFest, South Florida locals…). Pair a basic crop top with a pair of extreme flare jeans, add a fun flower headpiece and your most comfortable pair of sandals and boom! You got a retro modern look that would make anyone flash the peace sign your way.
I always seem to be out of town or busy whenever we have a local craft fair here in South Florida, so after a last minute change of plans (no MegaCon for me – boohoo), I was at least happy that I would be able to make it to The Odd Duck Craft Fair in Downtown Hollywood. Little victories, my friends.
Although I ultimately wasn’t very impressed with the size and turn out of the event overall, it was nice to get out on such a beautiful day, enjoy a delicious smoothie and pick up some fun accessories from some great vendors. Plus, there is always next month’s Indie Craft Bazaar at Revolution Live to look forward to!
With that said, it is HOT here in South Florida so this outing called for a lightweight outfit with subtle fandom references and some cute geeky specs. Looks like we have a lot of steamy weather to look forward to in the months to come! Start feeling that envy Northeast! 😉

Fandom of the Month Club is a completely genius idea! It is a monthly subscription box, but filled with fandom jewelry. The fandom changes monthly giving everyone an opportunity to geek out to their favorites. I follow the creator, Erin (@thegeekycauldron on IG), and when I saw her posts mentioning the service, I knew I had to check it out. Fandom-themed jewelry every month for only $13/month? Where do I sign up?
Obviously I had my reservations. Would the quality be top notch? Will I enjoy the fandom for the next month? Will I actually wear the pieces I receive? Those reservations disappeared in a cloud of smoke the second I received my first box.
Naturally, I was overjoyed when I opened the envelope and saw what fandom was being targeted. Doctor Who? Allons-y! I immediately loved the little themed jewelry sacks (I’m actually using it to store my jewelry for Megacon weekend – great for traveling!), and what it held inside was even better!
