“Geek chic” isn’t just a way of dressing anymore: it’s a lifestyle. Devoted fans live and breathe nerd culture nowadays. We travel all over for conventions, we permanently tattoo our bodies, we stay up for nights waiting both in and online for the smallest glimpse at the next big thing from our fandom. So, why wouldn’t we want to share our love of it all with pride in our homes? Why isn’t geeky home decor as common as it should be nowadays?

If you’re looking for subtle-but-adorable ways to add a touch of fandom to your home, look no further. Jordandené has you covered, with your favorite hand-lettered designs available in more than just shirts! Here are some easy ways to geek up your home with their products:

I cannot believe there was a point in my adult life that I’d completely forgotten about the convenience of zipper pouches. It wasn’t until I started working conventions and using them to transport money from registers that I realized I definitely should not have abandoned this concept after I left high school and needed a million to keep my life in order.

Jordandené just came out with their own version of the bag a few months ago and let me just say I’ve enjoyed every second of using mine. If you’re thinking of picking one up for yourself, here are some ideas on what to use it for!

Maybe it’s because the one and only Harry James Potter would have celebrated his 38th birthday on July 31st. Maybe it’s because this summer marked the 20th anniversary of the release of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. Maybe it’s because LeakyCon is right around the corner. Or, maybe it’s just because I associate the warm weather with sitting on the beach with one of the seven books. Whatever it is, there’s something about this season that makes me nostalgic for all things Harry Potter. This month, Jordandené is tapping into all of our wizarding world fashion dreams with a shirt of the month that can’t not remind us all the brightest witch of any and every age, Hermione Granger.

Wallets at the ready, Potterheads. You’re seriously going to need this one.

New month, new limited edition shirt by Jordandené.

If you’re new here, then perhaps you haven’t heard of Jordandené’s Shirt of the Month yet. Each month, they release a limited edition design available only for that month in their ultra-soft tees, tanks, and scoop necks. This month’s shirt is a tribute to none other than everyone’s favorite fashion designer, Edna Mode.

If you’re a regular reader of the blog or follower of Jordandené in general, you’ve probably seen me around in the last handful of weeks. But in case you haven’t: hi, I’m Kara Dennison, and I’m apparently a fake geek girl.

I’m also the lead editor for multiple well-known anime and game localizations. I’m a published author and a journalist with ten years of experience. And I’m an interviewer who’s been lucky to share the stage with a few people you might have heard of. But that doesn’t stop me from earning the title, it seems.

Jordandene’s latest collection, The Fangirl Galaxy Collection, is a collaboration with best-selling author Sam Maggs. My little fangirl heart exploded at the chance to chat with Sam while she was in New York. (Appropriately, to celebrate her upcoming book, Girl Squads, at Book Expo and BookCon.)

Sam Maggs Fangirl Galaxy Collection

If you haven’t heard of Sam Maggs, please let me introduce you. Sam is a freelance writer who is currently working on some comic books for IDW (Star Trek and Jem and the Holograms). She also writes video games at Bioware and is working on a game called Anthem, which comes out early next year. Sam might be best known for her books The Fangirl’s Guide to the Galaxy and Wonder Women. (Which you may have seen in Issue One of The Sartorial Geek Magazine). She’s basically writing all the cool things all over the place.

The underlying theme of Sam’s work is awesome women, which is apparent in everything she does. I cannot more highly recommend following her everywhere @sammaggs and saying hello to her at a con or book signing if you have a chance!

You should also check out our brand new collection with her. There’s something for the fake geek girl in everyone.
