Outfit of the Day: Rockabilly Hogwarts

For our latest outfit of the day, we have a rockabilly take on Hufflepuffs and Slytherins.

We took these latest outfits out for a day at Hogsmeade Village during the holiday celebration at Universal Studios Hollywood.

This is a simple stylized cosplay that you can wear everyday if you want.  I wear the pieces separately depending on where I’m headed.  Ladies, you can add a bandana to your hair-do to add to the look.

Jackets are from Hot Topic.  Pencil skirt and scarf are from Amazon.  Scout’s bandana is from Amazon.

This is really an easy cosplay to do.  If you want to get started cosplaying, I always say that a good mash-up or stylized cosplay is a great way to get going.

Please send us your own ideas for stylized cosplays.  We love to hear from you.

Outfit of the Day: Hogwarts Bound Part 2

For part 2 of our Hogwarts Bound outfits of the day, we went in two different gender directions, but stayed in the dapper bound family for each look.  All photos taken by Justin Davidson Photography.  Book him here.  You’ll be glad you did!

My dress is from CowCow.  I really love this site.  They have several different cuts and any kind of print you can imagine.  You pick the print and the cut, and they make the dress for you.  The delivery time is not very long (a couple of weeks) and the price is more than reasonable.  Also, size inclusive!  I’m wearing a size 3XL in the Cap Sleeve Front Wrap Midi Dress in Yellow Stars Print.  Click on the link above to order your own.

This dress is so comfortable and versatile.  I wear it to work, to Universal and out all the time.  I love it! The print is perfect for a Hufflepuff like me or really any witch, to be honest.  Regardless of your House.

Outfit of the Day: Hogwarts Bound

For our first post of the year, we present our new Hogwarts Bound outfits of the day!

As you can see, these outfits are unisex.  They can be as feminine or as masculine as you want.  They can both be worn everyday.  This is actually one of my favorite work outfits right now.

Photos taken by the amazing Justin Davidson Photography.  Please book him here.

Ties from Spirit Halloween.  Vests from Goodwill.  Button-downs from Amazon.  My skirt is also from Amazon.  Scout’s coat is actually my Deathly Hallows coat from Hot Topic.  I’m wearing a size 3XL and wear a size 20 for reference.  My shoes are a DIY that I will show you how in a separate post.  Wands and my bag from Universal Studios as was the location for the shoot.

A special shout-out to the Cast Members at Universal for being so accomodating for all of us bloggers and cosplayers shooting at the park!

Happy shopping!

Until next time…

Love, Kim and Scout

Outfit of the Day: Star Lord Cosplay Shirt

For our next outfit of the day, we have a Star Lord cosplay shirt from Kawaiian Pizza Apparel.  Funny name, great stuff!  They have everyday cosplay items for men, women and kids.  Size inclusive.

2018-10-10-20-37-56-341

Although they didn’t have a Star Lord dress (I wish!), I purchased the men’s Star Lord shirt and paired it with a skirt to make my own Star Lord dress!

2018-10-10-14-06-23-975

Grab your own shirt here.  They do run small, so I ordered a 3XL in men’s and it fit really well.  A little big, but I wanted it to be tunic-style.

My jacket is from Walmart.  Necklaces from Amazon.

Echo Look

We recently bought a new toy for the blog, the Echo Look by Amazon.

As you can see by the video, this device is perfect for all beauty bloggers, fashion bloggers and Instagrammers.

Once you set up the device and use your phone’s camera to frame the photos, all you have to do is say, “Alexa, take a picture.”  The device will light your photo and take the picture.  It automatically goes to your app.  From the app, you can save the photo, compare it with other looks and share with any of your socials.  The device also has a camera and mic off button so you can mute the device for privacy.

The free app to accompany the device allows you to keep your looks and organize them by color and style.

The last feature is Style Check.  You put in two of your looks and style experts weigh in on which outfit looks better on you.

So far, I really love it.  Next up will be the first looks taken by Echo Look from my new closet room, a project I will outline when it is finally finished.

Until next time…

Love, Kim and Scout
