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.
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!

Ever since starting The Fangirl Diaries at the beginning of this year, I have been able to stumble across some pretty amazing new ladies to follow on the blogosphere. I’ve been especially inspired by those blogging about geeky fashion (i.e., The Stylish Geek, The Nerdy Girlie & Geek Piñata). Melificent is part fashion blog, part lifestyle, part whatever-comes-into-my-brain, but I have noticed over time that my geeky side is not showcased enough. For this reason, I want to incorporate it by having at least one geeky style post a month. That is, whether it be an outfit post, a round up of my favorite geeky accessories or home goods, I want this part of me to be seen.
So be on the look out for this month’s geek out. Did I just make up a new feature? Yessum.
Like every good geeky girl, I am headed to Star Wars Weekend in Disneyworld next month. I am extremely excited because I’ve never been during the festivities, so I am looking forward to some good ‘ol fashion geekin’ out. However, now I have a whole other reason to get pumped up: Her Universe will be unveiling some new merchandise at the parks! You’ll be able to pick up all the new items at a special boutique store inside Darth’s Mall. Here are some of my favorite pieces that I have already categorized as MUST BUYS:
You can see the rest of the collection here, which includes some beautiful R2-D2 jewelry designed at The Sparkle Factory.
May the 4th still be with you (& also with your wallet).
I love meeting new geeky lady friends via the Twitterverse. Thanks to Her Universe and their fabulous #flauntyourworld hashtag, Megan and I started our bloggy-ship? Blogship? Either way! She’s an adorable geek girl hailing from Comic Con’s stomping grounds, San Diego, and she has a great blog over at The Nerdy Girlie. She also loves tea, the UK and Doctor Who. Hello new bestie! While looking through her site, I loved the If My Blog Was An Outfit post, and had to do my own!

I love wearing clothes that reference my fandoms, but I like them to be a little discrete and still fashionable (OK, so this tank isn’t super discrete…). I also love me some bright clothing, neon preferably. Most of the time, I am in sweet little skirts, preferably paired with flats. If they are glittered: perfection.
I also love me some whimsy, so a unicorn clutch would round out this outfit perfectly. I equally stay faithful to my rock roots, so I like to add a little edge with fun and spikey accessories. My nail polish obsession only continues to grow – glitter-filled Deborah Lippmann shades are my favorite because they are just so happy and pretty, while M.A.C. is always my go-to for lipstick. Candy Yum Yum is my new favorite, especially for the upcoming Miami summer.
Finally, my iPad! It’s always with me either for work or for play – it’s where I read all my books. I spend many a late night cuddled in bed with the hubs and the newest YA series. Right now? Vampire Academy! In a nut shell: glitter, geekdom, neons, unicorns, and nail polish. Yep, pretty Melificent.
