What I Wore: Anglophile

For those of you that don’t know me, I am an Anglophile. What’s that you say? Well, someone that is obsessed with British culture! I can’t really pinpoint when I became enamored with the English, but I know it has not let up. In fact, we are visiting London for a second time next month (the first was so mind blowing, I cried upon arrival) and have been religiously watching BBC shows for months now (Sherlock is my new favorite). That’s why I had to pick up this adorable skirt. Royals, phone booths and palace guards? YES.

What I Wore: Geometric Goodies

Geometric prints are really huge this fall as accents on everything possible, so naturally I had to add a piece to my wardrobe. I loved this warm tee because it is so comfy and can go with anything. Although it’s a basic, the print makes it something a little more special. I wore it for a day of pampering at the salon to slightly correct my ombre and then took the look with me to a food truck rally to celebrate Mexican Independence Day. Naturally, the only thing I could eat were macarons. The life of a glutard…. ::sigh::

What’s Your Fandom?

So I realized that I don’t really highlight my fandoms as much as I should here. There have been far too many outfit posts and not enough geekdom. So to remedy that, I bring you some of my favorite fandom pieces I’ve stumbled on while searching Etsy (which is far too often by the way).

1. Mordor Tee ($22); 2.Deathly Hallows Shirt ($18); 3. Potter Sweater ($42); 4. Sherlock Tee ($18.99); 5. Jon Snow Tank ($20); 6. Game of Thrones Bowtie ($10); 7. Baby Time Lord ($25); 8. Crossover Pin ($7.95)

Honestly, every outfit is infinitely better if it is announcing to the world that you are a die hard follower, don’t you agree? If you want to get lost in geeky overload, definitely visit the shop, EvieTees. I want one of each (especially this one).

What I Wore: Brooklyn Bridge

Sunday was our last full day in NYC. Although it made us a little sad, we realized we had to make the best of it! We had brunch in Brooklyn at Heath Ledger’s restaurant, Five Leaves (yum!), visited the 9/11 memorial (so heavy & moving) and had dinner at the amazingly glutard-loving, Risotteria. I also got to walk the Brooklyn Bridge for the first time ever. What a view! It’s always really hard to say goodbye to this city, and this time was not any different. Miss you, NYC!

What I Wore: Brooklyn Hipster

Day two brought us to the hipster-laden Brooklyn. We visited the Brooklyn Flea, Adam Yauch Park and some sweet neighborhood views. Being in the hipster capital of the world, I figured I had to play the part outfit-wise. I thought I did a good job until I noticed that my bright colors totally stuck out like a sore thumb. Damn Brooklyn, I’m too colorful for you.
