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…

Skulls and Bows
Skull print fashion seems to be everywhere these days. Alexander McQueen’s popular skull print scarves, skull prints in “couture” clothing, and even in some of the jewelry from Disney Couture. When did skull jewelry, skull accessories, and even skull prints go from being seen as “goth” or “rebellious” to just plain trendy? I’ve enjoyed skull print stuff for a long time now and it’s good and bad that there are so many options these days. 5 years ago, I would…

Summer Essentials – The Maxi Dress
On summer days when I don’t want to think too hard about what to wear or just need to “throw something on”, this is when the maxi dress totally comes in handy. Paired with a belt, sweater, and your favorite sandals, the maxi dress covers all my favorite “Cs” – comfortable, casual, and chic. This one by RVCA not only has all of those elements, but the light pink color is great for spring/summer. And the tribal print is subtle enough…

Sea of Blue
How can I even start to describe this amazing Rachel Zoe maxi skirt? On the rack, it just looked like another silk skirt, but wearing it, especially on a somewhat windy day, made me feel so elegant and so feminine. It’s hard to really capture how beautiful this skirt is in photos, but hopefully you get the idea. And this is definitely a great piece that could easily go day to night! Just beware that it does run really long…

We Want Star Wars Weekends!
For someone who lives a 6 hour drive away from LA, I am pretty sure I frequent Disneyland more than the average person in the Bay Area. Estimating something like 2 times a year for the past 10+ years, I’d say I’ve been there quite a lot, almost to the point where I must go at least once a year. And for the first time in my life, I am an annual pass holder, which means Disneyland all year round!! Woo hoo!…

Cozy Chic in the Helmut Lang Wrap Skirt
I wanted to title this post something cheesy like “Darth Helmut” (referencing Space Balls of course), but given that the world of Helmut Lang and Darth Vader don’t cross over too often, I decided not to. I recently got this Helmut Lang wrap skirt and fell in love the moment I put it on. It’s one of those skirts that you can dress up or down and way it’s draped in a way that would flatter anyone’s figure. Oh, and…
