Nerdy Must Haves

1. TARDIS floppy hat; GeekyU hits it out of the ballpark again with this incredible on trend floppy hat for summer emblazoned with the iconic police box logo (plus don’t miss the bow in the back). This would look so adorable paired with a bright red or plain black bikini (don’t forget to pack your Sonic along with your sunscreen).

2. Baymax crossbody bag; I can’t get enough of Baymax related anything, so it should come as no surprise that I am in love with this adorable crossbody bag (the emoji ones are cute too, but…) from Spree Picky. I simply have to have it to complete my next LBD ensemble.

3. Unicorn champagne horn; I honestly think I may die if I am not sipping my champagne out of this incredible UNICORN HORN when the clock turns 12 NYE this year. I mean, it’s clearly the best thing I’ve ever laid my eyes on. Do you think people would judge me if I brought it everywhere…weddings, blogging events, birthday parties, etc. No, right? Cool.

4. Kawaii badass crop; I don’t know about you, but I like the idea of being a kawaii badass. Who doesn’t want to be adorable and dangerous? This sailor scout in training would rock this crop top all over the streets of Miami…well, post baby that is. #weightlossgoals

Fandom Friday: Five Things You Own That You Bought At Cons

Fandom Friday

Brought to you by: The Nerdy Girlie & SuperSpaceChick

 Although I love the whole cosplay and family aspect of conventions, I have to say my favorite part is discovering new vendors or artists. As I’ve said many times before, I love supporting local or independent artists, so to me this is like Christmas. I can always find such amazing and unique goodies while at conventions and usually have the best conversations with those that have created them. Take a look at some of my favorite con swag pieces throughout the years.

1. Tara McPherson Exclusive LOST silkscreen; I think this is my prized Con possession. I am a huge LOST fan and an equally huge Tara McPherson fan. Naturally, when you put both of those together, there was a fangirl explosion within me that could not be contained. I was able to snag her limited print of Sun & Jin’s last moment at San Diego Comic Con a few years back and have displayed it proudly since. My house is full of Tara, but this one is my favorite.

Florida Supercon Swag

In keeping with the Supercon posts, I figure I would share with you all the great finds I was able to snag while attending a couple of weeks back. I’m always impressed with the immense talent I find hidden right under my nose at local conventions, and love supporting small businesses and independent artists. My home is full of fanart made by some amazing artists and I hope to just continue that trend. I can’t wait to further feature some of these goodies, but for now, I’m just too excited to not share.

1. Sailor Moon Stick; I could not believe the amazing quality and price of this beautiful wooden moon stick! Altruistic sells some great cosplay weapons that can be used as props for your next convention, or just to display. I had to take this beauty with me to display in Luna’s room! It’s going to look perfect on one of her shelving units! They have so many other gorgeous props from different fandoms to choose from – so definitely check out their site.

2. Ice Cream Dress; I’ve been trying to stay away from form fitting clothes lately, mainly because I know I won’t be able to really enjoy them until after little Luna makes her appearance. However, I could not resist the temptation when I saw this adorable ice cream dress from Shop Veralu. It is so bright and fun. It just screamed Meli, so naturally it had to come home with me. I tried it on recently and it still fits (although very snug)! I’m going to try to get at least one use out of this baby before Luna grows me out of it!

3. My Little Pony Clutch; This is another stellar find from Shop Veralu! What I love the most about this shop is that it is located in The Florida Keys (which is one of my favorite spots ever) and handmade by the absolutely endearing and talented Lu Annen. I was lucky enough to chat with her both on and off camera for Fashionably Nerdy, and I can’t wait to feature her bright and fun fashions in an outfit post. Of course, I couldn’t go home with out this perfect little clutch that can be used to brighten any occasion, from wedding guest to date night.

Nerdy Must Haves

Sailor Moon Leggings; Since my belly began expanding with my pregnancy, I am in desperate search for comfort paired with fashion. I’ve found that leggings do this best! I can push them down under my belly and feel such relief, but when paired with a tunic top can look so chic and stylish. That’s why geeky leggings are my new best friends, and I am all about TeeFury’s new line – especially these Sailor Moon ones!

Mother of Dragons Tee; Like most ladies, I love me some Daenerys Targaryen. She’s the ultimate bad ass female – I mean, she birthed DRAGONS, you guys. Who doesn’t want to be able to say that? I definitely have to rock this tee at some point in my pregnancy because although she may not be a literal dragon, I know my little Luna is going to be a fiery one. 😉

LSP Sweater; So I know I featured a LSP cardigan last time and now here I am with a sweatshirt, but I honestly can’t help myself. I think Lumpy is fresh to death and I’d love to wear her all over my body (weird?). Too bad it’s unbearably hot right now in Miami or I’d order one stat (if they weren’t sold out).

LightSaber Rattle; Do you want to die? Because I do. How cute is this adorable lightsaber rattle??? Sometimes it is very difficult to shop geeky for a little baby girl, but leave it to Etsy to do the trick. This was promptly put on our registry.
