The other day we broke down Benji’s Robin Hood dapper look, and now it is my turn.
I went to Dapper Day as Robin Hood’s bestie, Little John.
Disney’s Little John is my favorite Disney character. I love his sense of fun, positivity, loyalty and justice. I know that is a lot to attach to an animated character, but he made quite an impression on me as a kid.
Here is a reference photo:
Now, let’s break it down using the Team Build Checklist:
The Leader for this bound would be the bear ears. I decided to go with a Mickey ear headband, but with brown ears because, bear. I also got really lucky and found these custom-made ears by To Never Neverland on Etsy. These ladies have tons of great ear headbands for every character imaginable. Please check out their page. The headband is also super comfortable. The little feather detail was just perfect.
My “supersuit” would be my dress, the foundation for any Dapper Day look. This dress is from Unique Vintage. The petticoat is from Amazon.
Little John’s outfit is pretty simple. Green tunic, shoes and hat. The best detail to let people know I was bounding Little John was a money bag. We found these perfect purses on Amazon. I actually added jump rings, removed the strap and attached the purse to my belt to create a fanny pack of sorts. The belt is from Amazon as well.
There really wasn’t any special make-up or hair needed for this bound, but because it was Dapper Day, a red lip was the perfect finishing touch. My red lip is MAC in Ruby Woo.
I hope that our latest bounds got you inspired for Spring Dapper Day! Hope to see you there, and happy shopping!
Love, Kim and Benji
As I take Benji to register for the 8th grade today, in addition to coming to grips with the fact that I have an 8th grader, I thought that I would post some great items for back to school. Click on the links to buy.
Benji’s favorite band is Panic! At the Disco, so I found a new Panic! backpack from Hot Topic. The Loki backpack is also from Hot Topic by Loungefly. Finally, love this new Cap backpack! Also from Hot Topic.
Benji loves to rock a good woven button down! Here are a few I found:
The Lion King and Nightmare Before Christmas shirts are from Box Lunch. The Harry Potter prisoner shirt is from Hot Topic.
Her Universe just released a whole Harry Potter line that really knocked it out of the park! Most items are also available on Hot Topic’s and Torrid’s websites as well. The prisoner shirt above is also from this collection.
The hoodies are available for each house and…. WAND POCKET! Click here for shoes. Click here for hoodies.
Last, but certainly not least, are the dresses.
The Harry Potter dress is available at Her Universe and Hot Topic. Same for the Spiderman dress. The plaid dress is from Hot Topic as an online exclusive.
Happy Shopping and have a great new school year!
Love, Kim and Benji
Our latest outfit of the day is a great Spiderman dress by Her Universe. This dress sports a great comic book print all over, with red accents.
The dress is available in standard and plus sizes. I am wearing a standard 3xl.
I added a belt accent. Belt available at Target. Boots also available on Target. Click on the links to buy.
Happy Shopping!

I recently received my new Captain Marvel cosplay from Sim Cosplay. I spent the extra money for a custom fit, and I’m so glad I did. It is a bit roomy in places, but better too big than too small. All the pieces, including the boots, are included. The quality is great, so I highly recommend working with them when you want to build a new cosplay. Click here for their website.
I’ll do a photoshoot when the heat dies down a bit, as this cosplay is warm to say the least, but until then, enjoy these quick pics!

We recently got a coveted reservation for Galaxy’s Edge in Disneyland. We had a great time, and when you can, I highly recommend taking a trip there.
Here are some pics from the day. Enjoy!
Before you ride the Smuggler’s Run ride, you get to enter the Falcon, which was a dream-come-true for these nerds.
We did get a reservation time to build our own lightsabers, which was a great experience.
We sampled blue milk, which is delicious…
We finished our trip to Batuu with some shopping. I got this adorable Lando doll!
Literally could not stop taking pictures of the Falcon…
We finished our trip the next day by going to Disney’s California Adventure. We got lucky and got into a character brunch and met Spidey!
Until next time…
Love, Kim and Benji
OK, so we got a reservation for Galaxy’s Edge coming up, and cannot be more excited!
Our first thoughts go to, “What to wear?”, naturally.
My closet shopping expedition was very fruitful, but unfortunately, none of my Star Wars pieces are available any more. So, I took on the challenge for you guys. Find a women’s and a men’s (size inclusive) Han Solo bound completely from Amazon on on Prime. That way you can get it quickly and free shipping! So, doing a little online shopping, here’s what I found. Click on each link to buy each item. Happy Shopping!
The Leader for any Han Solo cosplay or bound are the blood-stripe pants.
I found this skirt and pants on Amazon. You can add red felt stripes to the skirt.
The Brick would be the vest and shirt.
I found this vest, and this one. I found this shirt and this one.
The Scientist would be his boots. However, tall boots would get pretty hot and uncomfortable, not to mention terrible for theme park walking, so I found these sneakers and these walking boots.
I found a couple of fun accessories for The Exotic. A Millenium Falcon necklace and a Han Solo belt.
There really isn’t any special Blaster items or make-up for a Han Solo bound, but just try to not be too scruffy-lookin!
Until next time…
Love, Kim and Benji

Our next outfit of the day is the witch dress from Retrolicious.
I absolutely love the print on this dress! The witches are adorable.
I recently picked this dress up at Retrolicious’s warehouse sale, but you can visit their website by clicking this link.
I paired the dress, which is sleeveless, with a cropped tee from Amazon. Click on this link to buy. Photobomb below courtesty of Benji!
Happy Shopping!

For our latest outfit of the day, I have my pin-up wand dress from Unique Vintage.
This dress, to be honest, I thought was “too much” when I first saw it in photos. However, once I saw the dress in person, I really liked it.
I also chose to tie the neck tie in a Windsor knot instead of a bow. I think it gives the dress a little nice edge.
The dress is available in all four house colors. Click on this link to get your own.
I paired it with some comfy chunky sneakers from Skechers. Click on this link to get yours.
Happy Shopping!
Love, Kim and Benji
