What I Wore: Mischief Managed

Who doesn’t want to be a bad ass Gryffindor? I had a lot of fun styling all these outfits during our Wizarding World weekend, but this one was one of my favorites because it seemed like something an actual Hogwarts student would wear on their days off. I loved that I could adorn my military vest with various Potter-themed buttons and pins, which makes it a subtle homage paired with my mischief managed tank. Even our utilitarian annual pass holder lanyard somehow managed to work into the look. It was so fab sharing all my vacation looks with you all – I can’t wait until our next visit!

What I Wore: Sassy Witch

On yet another Monday (why do they keep popping up every week?), I figured I’d go back to my happy place for yet another magical outfit post! This one was by far the biggest hit of the weekend – I was proudly waving my Gryffindor flag highly and it showed. I got a bunch of cheers and hisses from some hateful Slytherins. I had been on the hunt for these Gryffindor socks for the longest and they finally had them in stock – needless to say, they were on my feet in no time. Paired with my Swish & Flick sweater and wand (Luna Lovegood’s if you are curious), I was ready to take on any pesky Dementors that crossed my path. Expecto Patronum!

5 Fandom Friday: Favorite Fictional Couples I Ship


Happy early Valentines, everyone! Although I’m not the biggest fan of the holiday, I truly love love. I am a sucker for romance and am an idealistic dreamer when it comes to all things that revolve around that 4-letter L word. I spent many a Valentines Day saddened by unrealistic expectations until I realized that the holiday is just about love. Loving yourself. Loving your family. Loving your friends. And, of course, loving your significant other. It’s a time to step back and realize how much love there is in your life, regardless of relationship status, and that makes it an absolutely beautiful day, doesn’t it?

Now onto this week’s list! I get very attached to fictional characters, so it is no surprise that their equally fictitious relationships could also have quite the effect on me. Here are my top 5 OTP’s (One True Pairing);

 


“Together or not at all.”

1. Rory & Amy {Doctor Who}; By far one of my favorite fictional couples! I don’t like it when relationships are portrayed as being “perfect” on TV or in films. I really appreciate flawed characters, so I felt like their relationship was really well…relatable. I definitely see a lot of me in Amy, and a lot of my husband in Rory, so that may be a big part of why they are my number one (our wifi password is “theponds”). Their entire storyline was genius (plot holes and all) and had a knack for moving me to tears every.single.time. I mean, when was the last time someone pulled apart time for you? Exactly. That’s love, people.

What I Wore: Magical Chic

If you follow me on Instagram, you know that I went on a romantical trip with my lovey to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter this past weekend. It was initially going to be Valentine’s Day weekend, but that was until we found it was a long weekend for kiddos: NOPE! We were graced with amazing weather (well, until our last day) and small crowds, making the parks a complete joy to maneuver. We did some serious shopping (look out for my next outfit posts), and just enjoyed each other…and the geekiness all around us. There’s just something geniunely magical about this place. After 4 consecutive days in the parks, I just didn’t want to leave. Now that we have annual passes, it looks like I won’t have to leave for long! Until next month!

With that said, I wanted to make sure I was comfy but still looking the part. This is where my love of leggings begins. They are just so easy, light and versatile. Just make sure to follow one tip: always make sure you are wearing a tunic top. At the end of the day, leggings are NOT pants. Please don’t wear them as such.

5 Fandom Friday: Favorite Funko Pop Figures

I’m a little late to jump on this bandwagon, but better late than never, right? My sweet sister from another mister, Megan, from The Nerdy Girlie came up with this fun idea to combat writer’s block and I loved the concept! This week’s theme really spoke to me considering I have turned into a Pop fanatic seemingly overnight. I have a huge wish list (and no place to store them), so enjoy my most wanted.

1. Hannibal Wendigo Pop; there’s no denying that I absolutely adore Hannibal. It’s my favorite show that’s currently on TV, and I am all about the new Pop figures! I have Hannibal, but let’s face it. His Wendigo alter ego is by far the coolest of the collection, and, unfortunately, the one that is always out of stock at every store I go to. However, I’ll keep the faith that this little baby will be in my hands soon. I accept gift donations. 😉
