Tomorrow is the first day of Comic Con and in honor we will celebrate all things nerdy on the blog. As an attendee for several years I myself am a self proclaimed nerd and would love to share all these geeky goodies and maybe just for a moment we can all let our inner nerd shine through! From fashion to art to furniture hopefully these fun and youthful pieces will inspire you to add a little playfulness to your closet <3

Holy Gatsby we're excited!

I don't know about you, but we are very excited about the upcoming Great Gatsby movie and we are EVEN more excited about the fashions it will inspire. Feathers, lace, beading galore! If that is not quite your style there are easy ways to incorporate simple pieces to make you just a little Gatsby-ish.

1. Don't shy away from geometric prints, they can be fun and super flattering.
2. With just hints of bead work you can feel ultra glam without it weighing you down. And who doesn't want to sparkle a little?
3. Lace, lace lace. We love a good lace dress. It will bring out the romantic in you (and maybe some lucky guy or gal).
4. Pale colors can be your friend. Don't be afraid it will not complement your skin tone, give it a try you might be surprised!
5. Everyone needs a good feather piece for summer (or ten). Feather hair piece, necklace or earrings can enhance any simple outfit. You'll thank me later.

So it finally feels like Spring has sprung here in our little town of Chico, California...and when the weather gets nice we like to break out our feathered earrings, beaded headbands, cut-off shorts, and blousy tops for the perfect bohemian outfit for enjoying this type of weather! In the spirit of all that is bohemian, I came across a silly site that will generate your "Hippie Name" for you! Give it a try and create a new persona for yourself this Spring! Find Your Hippie Name!
