PAX is almost here! I should be excited, but I’m really just exhausted. Constant cons and traveling and Job Hunters and other fun things has left me looking forward to a weekend with nothing going on. But still–PAX is here, and even if I’m tired, I’m still gonna make the […]

A Fascinating Fascinator
Yeah, the title is awful. Sorry I’m not sorry. But seriously, aren’t fascinators a bit fascinating? The British get to wear them. I’ve often seen people at cons and steampunky people working fun little hats and headpieces into their outfits. People seem to have fun with them. So why don’t […]
Get Organized with Superhero Pinboards
I have a confession to make: I like Pottery Barn, but what I like best about it is the kids’ section. In case you didn’t know, they have some sweet licensed Marvel and Star Wars gear hiding out there. And while their bedding may be a tad too small (and […]
The Ultimate Unboxing: Julep, Loot Crate, and Birchbox
This whole “monthly box” things has really taken off, and I feel like there’s a box out there for everyone. So I took the three I get and did a giant unboxing video. Now you can compare the contents and get a good feel for a variety of monthly boxes! […]
Friday Favorites: August 16
Whew! Back to Friday Favorites! This is the first weekend where I won’t be traveling or on the set of Job Hunters all summer, and I’m excited to catch up on some posts and work. But first, here are some of my favorite things from the past week! Favorite […]
Threadless Sale
Threadless is having another $10 tee sale (and everything else is on sale as well!), and I think I’ve been really good about not picking up tons of t-shirts at cons this summer. Clearly that means I can splurge now, right? These are some shirts I’m putting in my shopping […]
Closet Cosplay with thredUP: Mal from Firefly
The final item of clothing from my thredUP shopping spree was this awesome brown coat. It’s long, flares out a bit, and will be perfect over dresses/skirts/jeans/anything in the Fall and Winter. It’s also a versatile cosplay piece. I feel like there are tons of opportunities to wear a long, […]
Closet Cosplay with thredUP: C-3PO
I had this silly idea to create an “evening look” inspired by C-3PO. Mostly, I’ve wanted to do a closet cosplay of C-3PO somehow, and I thought this might be easiest. Why him? He’s my favorite character from Star Wars. He and I are very similar: we both worry […]
Closet Cosplay with thredUP: Carmen Sandiego
What does Carmen Sandiego do when she wants to go on vacation? She doesn’t want to stay bundled up in a trench and scarf, but she’s gotta stay vaguely recognizable for all of those kids looking for her (which is only a little bit weird). So she trades her […]
