Buzz Bags Review: Sherlocked

Buzz Bags strikes again with another killer bag from one of my favorite fandoms, BBC’s Sherlock. It comes at a very apropos time as well. For those of you not in the crazed Sherlock fandom know, like myself, the very popular Sherlocked Convention that is held in the UK yearly is making the move to the US. Unfortunately, that’s still too far for me as I have my West Coast visit already planned for next year being SDCC 2017, but it’s pretty excellent for all the US fans.

But I digress! This bag was full of some fun accessories, and possibly my most favorite ever. Living in Miami, going to the beach is {nearly} everyone’s favorite past time. That means anklets are a style staple, and I actually got my first fandom anklet ever! If you follow me on Instagram, then you already saw me post a story squealing over it. I wish I could have added a picture of me wearing it, but it broke after getting stuck in my pants. Sad face! Buzz Bags are so awesome that they are going to send me a replacement anklet though, so hurrah! Crisis averted.

Aside from the adorable Sherlock-themed anklet, we got 2 beautiful necklaces: one sporting the fan favorite line “I am Sherlocked” and the other a key to Apartment 221b. The package was rounded out by two quotable pins and a magnet, and some amazing nail decals that I can’t wait to sport once I find the time to paint my nails again! Overall, it was an awesome little package as per usual. If you are interested in grabbing one of your own, head on over to their site. They have some pretty amazing bags coming up for the rest of the year as well!

Geek Girl Brunch Miami: Sherlocked

Last month, Geek Girl Brunch Miami hosted its second brunch and the ladies chose Sherlock as the theme. The Local House in Miami Beach was nice enough to host our event, and we even had a special surprise for all our brunchettes: free mini-manicures with Sherlock-themed nail art! Overall, it was a really great morning and I absolutely love how much our girls get along! If you are in the area, definitely sign up – we have so many fun events planned this summer and we’d love to have you join!

5 Fandom Friday: 5 Most Binge Worthy Shows

I’m proud to say that this was one of my contributions to The Nerdy Girlie and SuperSpaceChick‘s 5 Fandom Friday prompts. Obviously, I’m a fan of binge watching shows. I try my best not to go full-binge, so that I don’t feel empty and sad inside when I no longer have a show to watch, but I have been known to spend the better part of a day sprawled out on my couch, gluten free pizza in hand watching episode after episode of a new fav. Don’t judge me, you know you do the same.

So here are some of my current binge-worthy shows (plus: you can find them all on Netflix, so have at it!):

1. Parks & Recreation; I am pretty sure I was the last possible person to get into this show. Truth is, I started watching it as it aired on TV, and I just didn’t think it was that funny. Thing is, apparently it got better the 2nd season, when I had long abandoned it. Fast forward to now, and seeing all the hilarious montage clips my friends were posting on Facebook in honor of the show’s ending, and I had to give it another chance. I am so so so glad I did. It is literally my happy place. I’m currently on Season 5 (of 6) and I never want it to end. I love all the characters like they are my actual friends, and know I’ll cry ugly tears once it’s all over.

Nerdy Must Haves

1; Sailor Moon Selfie Stick; I just recently broke my selfie stick (somehow, some way) so I have been mourning its passing ever since. Then, this glorious creation appeared on my radar. A Sailor Moon selfie stick in the shape of Usagi’s moon stick. I mean. Perfection. In the name of the moon, grab it now for nearly half off!

2; Dark Side Maxi Dress; I love me a sleek and classy fandom outfit, so this Dark Side maxi dress made me swoon. Super sexy and fun enough for nights out on the town, but discreet and glam enough for events and parties! Plus, it’s a maxi, which means it wears like comfy pajamas but still screams hot. Pair it with some Darth Vader studs and studded sandals, and you will be the epitome of geek chic. You’re welcome.

3; Groot Skater Dress; I am so happy I stumbled on Living Dead Clothing. They are the ones that sell those fabulous Sailor Scout dresses, so I was thrilled when they announced a Guardians of the Galaxy collection. I honestly love it all, but this Groot skater dress stole my heart (kinda like Groot himself).

4; Sherlock Pin; I have to thank my buddy in all things geek, The Nerdy Girlie, for this amazing find. I don’t think it gets any cuter than a squishy Sherlock brooch for all us crazy Cumberbitches. He’s easily transportable and provides such a perfect, subtle fandom touch to any outfit. I especially like the way Megan styled hers recently when she went clue-ing for looks!
