Fandom Leggings

Leggings. I immediately think of Daria’s obnoxious sister, Quinn.
You just heard her voice in your head, didn’t you?

I had been on the fence about leggings for quite some time. Probably because I see people mistaking them for PANTS. Pants they are not, my friends. They are meant to be worn with an over-sized tunic top or any top that at least covers your crotch and the majority of your backside. If not, I (and everyone else) sees more than they signed up for at any given moment (especially when you bend over – yikes).

With that said, when worn appropriately, I have grown to love them. They are comfy and easy to wear, plus the fandom world has taken to creating all sorts of character and story driven leggings. This means more room in your luggage when packing for conventions, as you can just roll them up into a tiny little log of goodness. However, their price tag has always made me think twice. They usually run between $60-100 and I just couldn’t justify paying that for a pair of leggings I would just wear to specialty events.

But low and behold! I have discovered this fantastic Etsy shop that I have decided to share with all of you, velvetcoc. Unfortunate name aside, they sell amazing fandom leggings for $18 and are currently holding a 2-4-1 sale!!! The seller is located in China, so you will have to wait for your goodies with bated breath, but honestly, it only took 2 weeks for my pair to arrive. Not too shabby! Want to know what I’m picking up next? See my favorites below:

I’m crossing all body parts that she’ll add Doctor Who inspired leggings next!

Geek Out: Maleficent

As you can all imagine, I was pretty stoked for the premiere of Disney’s Maleficent starring Angelina Jolie. I was there opening night and wanted to make sure I dressed the part. Although the horns pictured were the bestie’s, I think I paid tribute to my favorite Disney villain while still staying geek chic. Unfortunately, Disney did not. I was disappointed in the way they portrayed Maleficent, whom to me is a very powerful female character. However, I’ll stop there. Our full review is posted on The Fangirl Diaries Youtube channel so make sure to check it out!

Geeky Must-Haves

Ever since submerging myself much deeper in the geeky world by starting The Fangirl Diaries, I have been introduced to a whole new world of temptations. I am beside myself with excitement. My wallet? Yeah, not so much. It doesn’t help that I have three very geeky events coming up: Star Wars Weekend, Florida SuperCon & SDCC. All give me ample “reasons” to stock up on everything geek chic. These are my current wants needs:


The Doctor Brooch ($12); Universe Crack Necklace ($55); Moon Crisis mini ($30); Mickey Ears Heart Brooch ($5.25); Tardis Crop Top (no longer available b/c I bought it – oops!)

How do the rest of you geeky ladies control the fandom trigger finger?

Loot Crate Unboxing: May 2014 ADVENTURE

So I may be a little behind the times here, but I just discovered the greatness that is Loot Crate! It is a monthly subscription service, much like BirchBox or Julep, but just targeted at the geeky community. Score, right?? The box comes stocked with a bunch of goodies, ranging from figures to key chains to tees all corresponding to that month’s theme! This month’s theme is ADVENTURE and it was my first Loot Crate experience.

Geek Out: Make Mine Marvel

Welcome to the blog’s newest feature, Geek Out! I put together many a nerdy outfit on a daily basis, so I figured, why not spotlight it on the blog! Plus, it ties in perfectly with my newest misadventure, The Fangirl Diaries. I think you can incorporate fandom/geekery into any outfit and make it as outrageous or subtle as you want. In this case, I decided with a little more subtle. I absolutely love all the fun nerdy crop tops that are popping up because it gives you the opportunity to still look trendy and sexy, while still expressing your love for certain characters. This Marvel tank is a perfect example! Paired with a glitter mini (who says glitter can’t be a neutral??) and some brightly colored wedges, you could go out for a night of dancing, a romantic dinner or to an art opening. Multipurpose!
