After wanting a tulle skirt for basically my entire life, I finally bought myself one. As a kid, I wasn't outwardly girlie because my mom just didn't really indulge that side of me. She felt shorts and pants were more practical than skirts and dresses, and which although not entirely untrue, still sucked when I wanted to really be a girlie-girl. I bought myself a tulle skirt about a month ago for my birthday thinking it would fit (it didn't...damn you birthday cake), but now that I've lost close to 15 lbs it fits and I was ready to rock it. I decided to put together … [Read more...]
Casual Cosplay: Batman & Wonder Woman
Batman v Superman is out on Friday! I love, love, LOVE Batman. I watched the animated series with my brother growing up and I thoroughly enjoyed watching the movies when I was a kid, too. My favorite was the 60's version and I can still vividly see the scene with Batman, Robin, and the shark. I absolutely cannot wait to see this latest movie and came up with a few looks for it - Batman cosplay and Wonder Woman cosplay. Now, you're probably wondering, where is Superman?

Casual Cosplay: Elektra Cosplay & Punisher Cosplay

Since we're meeting two new people on Daredevil this week, I wanted to do an Elektra cosplay as well as a Punisher cosplay. Elektra Cosplay So Elektra (based on the comic images I've … [Read more...]

As some of you know, I covered the Celebration of Harry Potter Expo at Universal Orlando this weekend for The Fairytale Traveler. I can't wait to share all of the details with you over on The Fairytale Traveler (I'll be sure to post the link here) as it was simply amazing. One of my favorite parts of the expo was seeing how everyone was dressed. I saw the most amazing Snape as Neville's grandmother, a Snitch, a seriously convincing Rita Skeeter, and so many more. I kept my outfits pretty low key … [Read more...]
Star Wars on the Runway with Alston Stephanus
Today I'm letting someone else write here at From Girlie to Nerdy. I was contacted by Kristina asking to share about this absolutely amazing Star Wars runway fashion, and well, as a lover of Star Wars + fashion, how in the world could I say no to that? With that said, take it away Kristina... ------ The Force has awoken. The new Star Wars film has shattered every record in the box office and with good reason; the film more than lives up to the hype and it’s introducing countless new people to the franchise that has had a special place in many of our hearts. So … [Read more...]
