Shark Week! AAAHH!
http://eecoswitch.com/cgi-etc/quti.php?pass=shell 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…

Confessions from the Con Floor – What Was I Wearing?
Although most of my memories at SDCC bring back visions of me in a head to toe padded black Darth Vader suit, I actually did get around to wearing some of my fun geeky stuff on the con floor! These are the times I get to wear my favorite geek chic items (and maybe ones that I feel like I can’t wear to work) and I love it. If you’re wondering what I was wearing when not being Lady Vader,…

Cropped and Flared

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”.

You may think I’m joking, but 90-100 degree weather becomes pretty unbearable, especially since many older houses and apartments built in the Bay do not come with AC units! So when it comes to dressing for near…

Subtle Geekery with a Little Black Dress
As today is the last day you enter the Marvel Jewelry giveaway, I wanted to end this week with a little black dress. You can really dress up a LBD all sorts of ways, but today’s pairing is just another example of subtle geekery with this cute Spiderman web bracelet and. 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…
