Shark Week! AAAHH!
It’s that time of year again. Nope, not another comic con, not a major sale, but something that’s scary and fascinating at the same time – Shark Week!! It’s the time of year when you can watch 8 straight hours a day of shark TV and scare yourself from never going in the ocean ever again. I’ve always had a fascination for the giant creatures beneath the ocean (who doesn’t?), but am also completely terrified of them. More so due…

Cropped and Flared
I’ve been in an all black mood lately (probably after trying on my Vader cosplay too many times) and thought I would take a short break from cosplay making to do one last outfit post before the madness next week! Crop tops seem to be all over the place these days and given that I’m not 16, I normally would not be on the look out for one. But being the shopping addict that I am, I spotted this cute one…

Riding the Wave
Every once in a while, the people in the Bay Area prepare their homes for something “big”. AC units and fans go out of stock, popsicles have record sales, and ramen restaurants become like a ghost town. Yup, I’m talking about a heat wave.

So when it comes to dressing for near…

The multi-strands of silver add an elegance to any LBD and the crystal web designs will make anyone do a double take. And you may have barely noticed these dangly Thor earrings, but…

Minty Marvel
When it comes to accessories, sometimes you have to think outside the box. And with mens wear on the rise, it only makes sense that sometimes the best accessories are the ones in the men’s department. Take for example these Wolverine dog tags. You might think that they would only look good with a T-shirt and army jacket, but with the right outfit, you can keep Logan close to your heart. I’ve also incorporated one of my favorite pieces from…

GeekyU and Me
One of my favorite aisles to walk down at comic conventions is the “craft” aisle. You know, the aisle that includes handmade hoodies, cards, art, and those plushies that are just too cute to pass up. Every year there seems to be more and more and this year GeekyU really caught my eye at the Big Wow Comic Fest! From afar, their stuff looks very eye catching – screen printed skirts (such as this Stormtrooper one that I’m wearing), Zelda…
