Hopefully you’ve been keeping up with Black Milk Clothing to prepare for the start of their Star Wars collection – If you don’t know Black Milk…where have you been?! But even if that name is new to you for some reason, rest assured, you’ve seen their work – seen or heard people talk about those amazing Artoo and Threepio swimsuits? Yeah, that’s them.
You Don’t Need a Fairy Godmother to Look This Enchanting
4On Monday morning I was checking my email and received a Sephora Beauty Insider message. Normally, I just glance quickly at the contents and then delete them. However, this time, I noticed a new holiday collection that really caught my eye, the Cinderella Collection by Sephora. Full of colorful palettes, sweet fragrances, and lush lipsticks, this collection is enough to turn anyone into a princess.
Stunning Style: Look #13
Some outfits come together naturally with items already on hand, and others are inspired by great accessories or items you find. That was totally the case with this outfit. I found this great triforce cuff on etsy and just had to put together a Zelda inspired look.
Today’s outfit is more of casual, warm weather look with shorts, a fashionable top, and some great accessories.
Geek Chic Finds of the Week
3When posting our Stunning Style outfits, often I find that some of the items we’ve posted are often no longer available. That being the case, I wanted to post a collection of my recent finds both in store and online so that you have the opportunity to grab things while they’re still around. Some of these will definitely make an appearance in future Stunning Styles! (A special thanks to my husband for being the hand model in many of these photos)
DIY Friday: Book Recommendations
We’re interrupting our regularly schedule DIY tutorial to bring you some DIY book/tutorial recommendations! Sometimes our DIY ideas come from nowhere, but quite often we see a tutorial online or in a book that we decide to try out and share with you.
Here are some of our recommendations…
Stunning Style: Look #12
4Fall is just around the corner, though for Lindz and me, it will be continue to be summer for quite some time here in sunny So Cal! But, in the future we hope to include more colder weather appropriate styles since we forget that the rest of the country/world experiences temperatures other than hot, and really hot.
This week’s Stunning Style is a pants and jacket combo, which works great for colder weather, or even just a night on the town.
Set to Stunning @ Comikaze Expo
1If you were near the convention center in LA this weekend, you may have noticed a large comic convention taking place, Stan Lee’s Comikaze Expo. Despite the long lines and extreme heat, we did manage to spy some great geek chic outfits and merchandise around the exhibit hall.
DIY Friday: Wonder Woman iPhone Wristlet
3Whenever I’m in a store, I’m always keeping an eye out for existing items that can be stylishly geeked up. Target is currently stocking these wonderfully colorful metallic PVC purses, bags and iPhone wristlet cases by Xhilaration.
I was immediately drawn to these, especially the iPhone cases, and could see an abundant amount of DIY possibilities with them. My local Target only had the blue iPhone case in stock, which wasn’t a problem for me, as I knew something fun and simple I could do to geek it up!
Stunning Style: Look #11
This week’s Stunning Style is an oldie but a goodie in terms of theme and style – You can never go wrong with a good pair of jeans.
Paired with some fun sneakers and a DIY top, this is probably the most casual and simple ensemble I’ve shown you. But hey, it’s Voltron-themed, so, you know, you can’t go wrong!
Change Your Bookmarks for the New Home for Marvel Jewelry
It’s no secret that we love the jewelry from 1928 Jewelry’s Marvel line. Both Scruffy and I have featured, and even worn, many of their pieces seen here, here, and here. While 1928 Jewelry was the original home for all this fabulous stuff, they’ve created a different brand name for anything Marvel called JewelM, and now have a new home located here: http://www.marvelnoveltyjewelry.com/
