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 […]
Closet Cosplay with thredUP: Lara Croft
Sometimes it’s hot out, you don’t want to be bothered to do much with your hair, and you need a bit of extra oomph to get you through your day. And on those days, it’s best to channel Lara Croft. Her bad-ass-ness will infuse your day while you get […]
Closet Cosplay with thredUP: The TARDIS from Doctor Who
When I first saw this blue tank top on thredUP, I instantly thought “TARDIS.” When it arrived, I needed to give a bit more thought to what to wear it with. What does the TARDIS inspire me to look like? I came up with this. The TARDIS is a sexy […]
Closet Cosplay with thredUP: Ygritte from Game of Thrones
I came across these boots on thredUP (brand new, with tags still on) and the fur lining made me think instantly of the badass Ygritte from Game of Thrones. She can keep up with the boys, seduce Jon Snow with a “girl next door that’s kidnapped you” sort of charm, […]
Nailed It! Nerd Nail Art by Espionage Cosmetics
Our favorite geeky makeup company is at it again, and this time they’re prettying up our nails. Espionage Cosmetics has launched a Kickstarter Campaign for some “nerdy nail wraps” and I seriously want them all. The wraps include great designs inspired by space, the Ninja Turtles, Cthulhu, zombies, and more. […]
Closet Cosplay with thredUP: Meg from Hercules
I’m back from VidCon and Disneyland, and I did things right: In one day, we rode fifteen rides, caught three evening shows, and had a delightful dinner at Big Thunder Ranch Barbecue, and I did it all in this cute Meg-inspired outfit. thredUP, an awesome new online consignment store, offered […]
Frends Headphone Review (Courtesy of Best Buy Mobile Store)
When it comes to headphones, I’ve often run into the same problem. They’re too big. Ridiculously big. Mr. Geek calls it “adorable,” I call it a nuisance. The tightest option is still too big for my head, and my ears swim inside of the headphones’ ear pieces. When I heard […]
