Star Wars OOTD: Let the Past Die

What I Wore:

Kylo Tee: Jordandené
Plaid Shirt: Abercrombie & Fitch
Super Stretch Jegging: American Eagle
Vader Watch: c/o Flex Watches
A New Day Pumps: Target
Tote Bag: Target
Monogram Keychain: Gifted (Charming Charlie)

Lately I've been talking a lot about layering and how implementing this fashion technique can really add so much character to your outfit. One of my favorite ways to layer recently has been with plaid shirts. I love the look of a plaid shirt worn open over a geeky tee especially when it's a flannel because it's extra cozy! Adapting this way of styling is really a simple way for any fangirl or fanboy to create an effortless look. When I saw this black and red number on sale at Abercrombie & Fitch I snatched it right up! It was the perfect addition to the Darth Vader and Kylo Ren inspired outfit I had in mind and it's so soft I could sleep in it. You might want to check out their sale if you haven't!

I announced on Instagram recently that I am now a Brand Ambassador of Flex Watches. I first discovered this company last year and collaborated with them in August 2018 so to now be representing them is thrilling! Their water resistant watches are light weight and are the most comfortable watches I have ever owned. They come in all different colors and each band represents a different charity (Hunger, Clean Water, Breast Cancer, etc.) meaning that with every watch that is purchased Flex gives 10% to the charity. I don't know about you but I always feel extra happy about my fashion purchases when I know the money I spent is helping someone else.

This Vader watch is one of a few new additions to their latest Star Wars Collection. I love the simplicity of the design and the way it screams "Dark Side". It's a great Star Wars fashion accessory! I own this style in the Mini but it is also available in the Classic size. You also might be interested in the new Stormtrooper design! Flex offers a 2 year warranty on their watches plus free shipping to anywhere in the U.S. If you're interested in any of their watch styles please use my referral link to shop and code "AMBASSADOR10" for $10 off of your purchase!

The March Shirt of the Month at Jordandené was what sparked inspiration for this entire outfit. I've been following the company on Instagram for a while but this was my first purchase and it's a heck of a good one! Obviously I love the quote on the shirt (mostly because it reminds me of the pivotal moment between Kylo Ren and Rey in The Last Jedi) but it's also super comfortable to wear! This design was created with eco friendly ink by an awesome team of fangirls in a sweat-shop free environment. It's available in unisex sizing and will be on the website until the end of the month so act fast!

I'm really pleased with how this casual but cool outfit turned out and I'll definitely be wearing it again! Let me know what you think in a comment below or get in touch with me via Twitter or Instagram.

Heading to WonderCon 2019

This week I was thrilled to find out that I've been approved for press passes to attend WonderCon! I will be there with my husband Jason on Sunday, March 31st. I've never been to this particular convention but I am excited to go and bring a little piece of it back with me to share with you. I'll be on the look out for Star Wars art, cosplayers, fashion and more!

The event will be held on March 29th through the 31st and will take place at the Anaheim Convention Center. If you're a fan of comic books and/or movies this convention would be the perfect event for you to attend. Although I have never been myself I've experienced several pop culture conventions like this one and I've always had a blast! First, you will need a Comic-Con Member ID. It's free and is required to purchase a badge for certain events. Friday and Saturday badges are $40 and the Sunday badge is $24 for adults. There are also children's, U.S. Military and Senior prices available.

We will see you very soon and please feel free to stop and say "Hi!" if you spot us on the convention floor!

Smuggler's Bounty: Dagobah Unboxing

The Smuggler's Bounty box is the only official Star Wars subscription box by Funko. They are available for purchase on Amazon for $29.99 a box and they get shipped out at the end of every other month.

I have been receiving these boxes since it first began in November 2015 right before The Force Awakens was released and each and every time it has felt like a little bit of Christmas arriving on my doorstep. February's box is Dagobah themed and it's full of some of the most unique items yet. Overall this box wasn't one of my favorites but there are two items I'm especially excited about! Watch our unboxing video above and let me know in a comment below or in a Tweet if you also got this box and what your favorite item was!

April's theme is Wookiee so be sure to subscribe before it's too late! As far as Funko Pops go, I would like to see a Hoth Chewbacca or Chewbacca carrying 3PO on his back. What about you?

Star Wars OOTD: Rebels Remembered

What I Wore

Hera Shirt: Gifted | Her Universe (Sold Out)
Denim Jacket : Gifted | Abercrombie & Fitch
Super Stretch Jegging: American Eagle
A New Day Pumps: Target
Heart Cutout Backpack by Loungefly: Hot Topic
Ashoka pin: Michael Pasquale Art (Sold out)
Ezra pin: Squadron Goals
Sabine pin: Trade at Disneyland
Hera pin: 100% Soft (Sold out)
Kanan pin: Alpaignition (Sold out)

I'm really excited to be partaking in Rebels Remembered today with a brand new Star Wars OOTD inspired by Star Wars Rebels. I think it's safe to say that this show has impacted a lot of Star Wars fans in countless ways. I myself can't imagine the Star Wars galaxy without these characters. Rebels introduced to us courageous individuals like Hera Syndulla, Kanan Jarrus and Chopper, three of my favorite new characters from the show. It also continued the journeys of characters we already knew and loved like Ahsoka Tano and Darth Vader. There are episodes in Star Wars Rebels that have some of the best storytelling in all of Star Wars (the Twilight of the Apprentice episodes are my favorites). One of the prominent messages in this series is the importance of family. Each member of the Ghost team has unique gifts and personalities and they use them to fight for the greater good together. No matter what they may be going through they support each other when things get tough. They love and accept each other for who they are. They are inspiring and they make the best team! Honestly, I think our Star Wars fan community could learn a lot from them.

I have collected a decent amount of Rebels pins over the years including some that aren't pictured here. One of the ways I like to display my pins are on my denim jacket. Honestly, there's no right or wrong way of accessorizing your jacket. You can place as many pins or as little as you'd like. Get creative! Sometimes I like to pin them on my collar or cover an entire front pocket. There are even days where I will wear just one pin! It really depends on my mood and the look I am going for. I wanted to make sure I had at least one of each character from my collection represented and it was when I was going through my stash that I realized I had no pins of Zeb or Chopper. I definitely need to fix that situation! All of my pins and where I got them are linked above though please be aware most are no longer available or were acquired in a trade. I would highly recommend following the accounts of everyone I did tag though for future releases and awesome content!

If all you do is fight for your own life, then your life is worth nothing. - Hera Syndulla

Hera Syndulla is gracious, wise and a fierce pilot so any day I get to wear this long-sleeved shirt is a good one. It's an older piece by Her Universe which Vanessa Marshall helped create. I love how creative the design is and the quote on the backside (written above). It's this little detail that makes the shirt extra special. It was freezing outside when I took these photos so please forgive me for not removing my jacket to show you! This top is super transitional as are many of the tops that Her Universe provides. I've also worn this shirt tucked into a skirt with tights and with a pair of galaxy printed pants.

Ever since I discovered these little block heel pumps from Target I've been in love! I own several colors because it's hard for me to find shoes that are comfortable enough to wear. I adore adding heals to almost every outfit I wear even if it's on the casual side and there's a backpack thrown into the mix. It might look a little surprising to some people but it just feels so right to me. A feminine touch mixed with a lot of "geeky" is a great balance in my mind. This is a great every day layered Star Wars look that is super achievable!

Today I would also like to bring attention to this outfit I styled in 2016 that was inspired by Hera Syndulla. If you would like to see more photos and read about the look I created you can do so here.

I just went to give a HUGE shout out to my friend Johnamarie of The Wookiee Gunner for taking the time to put this together! Today feels like an official Star Wars day celebration and I love it!
