Ever since I became a member of the 501st Legion, I've gotten all sorts of questions from people across the globe that want to know more about this costuming organization and how to become a member. Since it's become tedious to reply to every email, tweet, and Facebook message individually…

Star Wars Style: Flared Fangirl

If you've ever taken a peek at my Style board on Pinterest, you've probably noticed that I'm obsessed with jeans- especially ones with rips, frays, or any other fun details. When I found this pair of flared jeans at Target with a dip-dye hem and frayed edges, I had to have them. Paired…

Star Wars Style: Trendy TK

Last summer I discovered the wonders of Primark while visiting London for Star Wars Celebration Europe. I had heard about their awesome deals and unique clothing pieces, but I never had the opportunity to shop there until I went on vacation. While checking out Primark, I found this sequin Stormtroo…

Star Wars Style: BB-Great

I love outfits that can go from day to night with the simple change of a lipstick shade and a pair of shoes. Jackets are one of my favorite pieces to wear that transition easily into any time of the day. I've had an awesome BB-8 bomber jacket in my closet for about a year now and I wear it all …

Star Wars Style: Kessel Run

This week of Star Wars Style will only feature two looks as opposed to three in previous weeks. I had a pretty exhausting weekend and needed some time to catch up on life. So without further ado, here is today's outfit!

It's no secret that I'm a huge fan of Han Solo and his co-pilot so …

Intern Adventures

Today wrapped up the final "official" day of my internship with one of the coolest digital agencies in the world! In order to complete my bachelor's degree in communication, I needed to devote and finish 210 hours to an internship in my field of study. I don't think it was pure l…

Star Wars Style: Jazzy Jedi

For today's Star Wars Style, I wanted to show you guys what I wear on casual days. As much as I love dressing up and wearing skirts or dresses, sometimes it's just not practical. This Jedi inspired cardigan is super soft and cozy to layer over practically any outfit, but I chose to wear it…

Star Wars Style: Darkside Date

For this look, I wanted to show off how I would dress for a girl's night out or a date with a special someone. I scored this awesome Imperial dress on Poshmark for just $10 and paired it with my favorite Cynthia Rowley wedges, also found on Poshmark for a $30 steal. It's still chilly outsi…

Star Wars Style: Professional Padawan

Star Wars Style is back with another week full of fun galactic inspired outfits! My stylist Natalie celebrated her birthday this weekend (happy birthday Nat!) so we didn't get to collaborate, but my friend Michael came to the rescue to take photos of my outfits. 
Call me crazy, but I absolutel…

Star Wars Style: Quirky Krennic

The final Star Wars Style look of this week is a fun mashup of all my favorite things- denim, lace and sequins. My stylist, Natalie, chose a distressed denim jacket to layer over my Director Krennic muscle tee and a white lace skirt. I used a few of my souvenir pins from Star Wars Celebration Lond…

Star Wars Style: Training Trooper

For today's Star Wars Style, I decided it would be fun to show you guys how I incorporate Star Wars elements into my workout gear. This look is called "Training Trooper" because it makes me feel like I'm actually training to be an Imperial trooper! 
I absolutely love Shoretrooper…
