A Very Potter Bachelorette Details

This past weekend I hosted a bachelorette weekend for my friend Elissa and wanted to make sure it was as special as can be. What made it so fun to plan was the theme: Potter! We were going to Wizarding World in Orlando for the weekend, so I wanted to make sure there was a magical theme going through all the details. I started with little gift bags for the girls:

I got some sweet little goodie bags from Hey Yo Yo and filled them with temporary dark mark tattoos, Potter themed buttons and pencils, along with golden snitch bracelets. What I loved the most was that I found all of them on Etsy!

{Giveaway}: So Effing Cute

Something I don’t share nearly enough on this blog is my level of geek. It’s pretty high. Especially when it comes to my fandoms, one of which is all things Harry Potter. This is why I nearly passed out & died when I stumbled on So Effing Cute‘s Etsy shop while browsing for bachelorette gifts. Debbie’s items stretch from sweaters to panties dedicated to the world of nerd (Potter, LOTR, The Hunger Games & Star Wars just to name a few), but her deathly hallows crop tee really got me good. I had to have it!

I especially loved that I was able to pair the crop with my temporary dark mark tattoo (also from Etsy)! You wish you were as dorky as I am, admit it!

{Hunger Games Week}: Premiere

Did this magazine cover give anyone else chills?
Jennifer Lawrence is the perfect Katniss.

Today is the day, Tributes.
Go forth, pillage local movie theaters, wear those pins proudly and don’t forget to wave a passionate three-fingered salute. Unfortunately, I have to wait until tomorrow night (torturous) to see the film, so please keep spoilers to a minimum but do feel free to gush about how wonderful it is.

May the odds be ever in your favor.

ps; I’ll be back next week with a full recap of our themed party, as well as my thoughts on the movie!

{Hunger Games Week}: Mockingjay-inspired Accessories

Parties aren’t the only ones that are being influenced by Suzanne Collins’ epic trilogy, the fashion world is also being inspired to pick up some bow and arrows and play along.  I’m not complaining. I find arrows and birds to be beautiful touches to accessories, not only in the home, but also for wrist and neck candy. I personally want one of each of these lovelies, all found on Etsy, in case you are wondering. I am not beneath begging. 😉
