Have you been searching for more ways to drop all of your money on the latest in geek fashion since last month’s roundup of goodies? Look no further: a lot has happened since then in the geek chic world, and I’m here to tell you about just a few of my favorites.
It’s been said again and again since the very beginning of Scandal, but I’m here to reiterate it: there is no television character more polished than Olivia Pope.
I haven’t paid enough respect to styles like Olivia’s on this segment, but professional power dressing so often falls flat and drab, especially on TV. Olivia isn’t an exception. She’s the exception. In the seven seasons Scandal has been on the air, she’s completely redefined workplace wear. And hasn’t had a single off day doing it.
I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to jump on the ColourPop bandwagon. I’m glad I’m at least on it now, but seriously:
In case you couldn’t tell, I’m going to be trying out some ColourPop products today. Specifically from their My Little Pony-inspired collection that dropped last September, because Cosmetic Corner has been all about nostalgia lately.
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: grown-ish is the most fashionable show currently on air. So much that it’s the first (and probably only) series, save for an obvious Black Panther, I’ll double-dip into for a style icon. This week and every week, my fictional style icon (and big ol’ crush) is grown-ish regular Luca Hall, played by real-life fashion influencer (and, of course, Yeezy model) Luka Sabbat.
Being a geek girl with a love for fashion is really starting to take a toll on my wallet, and it’s getting to the point where there are so many amazing brands and companies out there that I don’t even care anymore.
You may have seen me shout out Prophecy Girl on our Instagram (@sartorialgeek) in the past, but I love them so much, we’re bringing that love to the blog, too.
My love for Brooklyn Nine-Nine has never been, and will never be a secret. The highlight of my week was going back through episodes to get screencaps for this post. Plus, in case you haven’t noticed yet, I have a thing for larger-than-life characters and their closets. The 99’s Gina Linetti is no exception to this obsession. (She is “the human form of the 100 emoji”, after all.)
Splurge on skincare in the name of self-care, they said. It’ll be fun, they said. (Okay, well, it is fun but also really, really dangerous for my wallet.)
Last year, skincare powerhouse GlamGlow teamed up with the recently revamped Power Rangers film for an exclusive line of their best-selling GravityMud masks in colors inspired by its villains. And thus, the GlamGlow Power Rangers GravityMud was born.
I have a love/hate relationship with Chewing Gum.
Don’t get me wrong: Chewing Gum is incredibly clever and there’s more love in that relationship than anything, but sometimes (every episode), the leading lady, Tracey Gordon’s, adventures make me cringe with my entire body.
Through our Cosmetic Corner segment, I think it’s safe to say I’ve made one thing very clear: I really, really love makeup.
Obviously, I’m no Instagram-make-up-artist-level expert. BUT! I’m perfectly comfortable with that. It’s just fun— to play, to experiment, and to splurge in the name of self-care. (Thank god we have that as an excuse now to rationalize buyer’s remorse, right?)
Well, recently, I found my new favorite place to do that: Besame Cosmetics.
There is so much to love about Catastrophe, from the irreverent chemistry between co-stars and co-creators Rob Delaney (yes, that guy from Twitter) and Sharon Horgan, to the truly cynical take on the modern rom-com. The unsung hero among all of this is the wardrobe that so perfectly matches the messy, acerbic leading lady that comes with it. This week’s style icon is none other than Sharon Morris.
