Inspired By: Wonder Woman

I literally CANNOT wait until Wonder Woman! While D.C. tends to disappoint wth their movies (sorry, I'm more a Marvel girl), I am so pumped for this movie! I really, really hope it does well in the box office so that we get more female-centric superhero movies and I hope that one of those is Kamala Kahn AKA Kamala Kahn. She's one of my favorites!

Wonder Woman opens in the U.S. on June 2nd, but I just had to share some outfits now because I was too excited to wait!

Diana Prince AKA Wonder Woman

Amazon princess Diana (Gal Gadot) is a strong and intelligent immortal warrior who finds Steve Trevor washed ashore the island of Themyscira. She travels to World War I London in order to help stop the war and fight evil.  

For a subtle, updated version of Wonder Woman's classic outfit wear a green jacket, a red tank, embroidered black jeans, a brown bag, and metallic sneakers. Or for a decidedly Amazonian outfit put on a red, yellow, and blue jacket, metallic tank, ombre blue skirt, and gladiator sandals.

Steve Trevor

Steve (Chris Pine) is a captain in the U.S. Army Air Service who is rogue-ish and cynical but who is also charming. He enlists the help of Diana to stop World War I and finds that there's a lot more to her than meets the eye. 

For a feminine take on his uniform, put on a green patched jacket, gray asymmetrical shirt, jeans, a newsboy cap, and navy lace-up boots. Or throw it back to 1917 with a gray jacket, a chambray shirt, map watch, green trousers, and gray sneakers.

Etta Candy

Etta (Lucy Davis) is Steve's loyal, friendly, and comical secretary who immediately befriends Diana while she travels to London. 

If black is your color throw on a black blazer, dress, wide brim hat, and lace-up boots with rose earrings, and a brown watch. Or wear a floral print dress, navy jacket, orange bag, and off white ankle-strap flats.

Are you looking forward to Wonder Woman?

Dumplin'

With her all-American beauty best friend, Ellen, by her side, things have always worked until Will takes a job at Harpy’s and meets Private School Bo, a hot former jock. Will starts to doubt herself. So she sets out to take back her confidence by doing the most horrifying thing she can imagine: entering the Miss Clover City beauty pageant. 

I LOVED this book! Loved. It. Willowdean is the friend all girls should have because she encourages everyone to be themselves. Get some Willowdean sass by wearing her signature red dress, heart-shaped sunglasses, rose necklace, and black wedges. Or if you want to be more casual, then wear a Texas home shirt (or for your own state), light jeans, a floral backpack, and nude sandals.

Heartless

At the risk of offending the King and infuriating her parents, she and Jest enter into a secret courtship.

Cath becomes the Queen of Hearts we all know and love, who has an affinity for shouting, "Off with their heads!" so don a lace red dress, re cut-out heels, a sparkly necklace, and white floral headband.

When the freckled girl realizes that the elderly Cuthberts wanted to adopt a boy instead, she begins to try to win them and, consequently, the reader, over.

I don't know why it took me so long to read Anne of Green Gables when it's my best friend's favorite book, but I'm so glad I did! This book is such a delight and Anne is so imaginative! For a modern version of her clothes, go for a gray floral sweater, boyfriend jeans, and floral sneakers for running around. Or for a more classic look: a black or brown hat, a cold-shoulder green floral dress, a heart ring, a brown backpack, and brown lace-up boots.

I want all of these books stat! They're all entirely different genres, but as a genre-hopper myself, I'm interested in reading all four of these books at some point. Not into genre-switching? Well, I hope one of these piques your interest. My favorite genre is YA fantasy, but I dabble in YA contemporary, adult fiction, sci-fi, and graphic novels. What about you?

Alex, Approximately

Written by Jenn Bennett; A teen spin on You’ve Got Mail, the one guy Bailey can’t stand is actually the boy of her dreams—she just doesn’t know it yet. Classic movie buff Bailey has spent months crushing on a witty film geek she only knows online by “Alex.” Two coasts separate the teens until Bailey moves in with her dad, who lives in the same California surfing town as her online crush. Faced with doubts, Bailey doesn’t tell Alex she’s moved to his hometown. (April 4)

A young adult version of You've Got Mail! I'm SO in! I can't wait to read this! This book takes place in Cali, so go for a yellow off-the-shoulder top, jean shorts, and wooden wedges. Or instead throw on a striped tee, light overalls, and metallic sandals. If you're a movie buff like Bailey then grab this ticket stub bag and popcorn pillow.

Duels & Deception

Someone is after her fortune and won't hesitate to destroy her reputation to get it. (April 11)

This book sounds like a Jane Austen character meets an action movie! Who wouldn't want to read that? Go for a 19th century meets modern attire by wearing a teal dress, sparkly headband, striped scarf, and brown booties. Or if you're a young law clerk, then don a gray blazer, a white blouse, printed pants, a mint bag, and navy Oxford flats.

Spindle Fire

Written by Lexa Hillyer; Half sisters Isabelle and Aurora are polar opposites: Isabelle is the king’s headstrong illegitimate daughter, whose sight was tithed by faeries; Aurora, beautiful and sheltered, was tithed her sense of touch and voice on the same day. Despite their differences, the sisters have always been extremely close. And then everything changes, with a single drop of Aurora’s blood, a Faerie Queen who is preparing for war, a strange and enchanting dream realm—and a sleep so deep it cannot be broken. (April 11)

Spindle Fire is a cool twist on Sleeping Beauty and it's definitely one I want to read! Want to wear an outfit based on Isabelle? Put on an off-the-shoulder, embroidered black dress, mirrored sunglasses, dangly earrings, and burgundy heels. Or if you want to dress like Aurora, then wear a gray velvet dress, a pink necklace, lace gloves, and pink heels.

Inspired By: Books With Floral Covers

It's spring and you know what that means — mother effin' florals! Obviously florals don't have to be worn exclusively in the spring (everyone knows I wear them year round), but there's something to be said for wearing them when the leaves are returning and flowers are blooming. So in honor spring's return, here are four books with flowers on the cover and floral-tastic outfits!

I've read both Beastly and RoseBlood and would recommend both by the way.

Reign of Shadows

Written by Sophie Jordan; Seventeen years ago, an eclipse cloaked the kingdom of Relhok in perpetual darkness. In the chaos, an evil chancellor murdered the king and queen and seized their throne. Luna, Relhok’s lost princess, has been hiding in a tower ever since. Luna’s survival depends on the world believing she is dead. But that doesn’t stop Luna from wanting more.

Throw on the perfect spring outfit: a chiffon floral top, a floral headband, patchwork jeans, a crown ring, and ankle-strap navy flats. Or instead wear a navy floral dress, a blue stud earrings, a pale pink purse, and red flats.

Beastly

Written by Alex Flinn; The place is New York City. The time is now. I've been cursed by the one witch in my English class. Why did she turn me into a beast who hides by day and prowls by night? I'll tell you. I'll tell you how I used to be Kyle Kingsbury, the guy you wished you were, with money, perfect looks, and the perfect life. And then, I'll tell you how I became perfectly . . . beastly.

These two outfits are great for wandering the streets of New York City, so put on a burgundy cardigan, white top, floral black leggings, and a black Oxford flats. Or throw on a white floral embroidered dress, floral earrings, a brown backpack, and taupe booties.

The Secret of a Heart Note

Written by Stacey Lee; An evocative novel about a teen aroma expert who uses her extrasensitive sense of smell to mix perfumes that help others fall in love while protecting her own heart at all costs. Sometimes love is right under your nose. As one of only two aromateurs left on the planet, sixteen-year-old Mimosa knows what her future holds: a lifetime of weeding, mixing love elixirs, and matchmaking—all while remaining incurably alone.

Doesn't this book so sound cute? Up the cute factor in your wardrobe by wearing a white floral romper, a yellow metal bracelet, a floral headband, and yellow and wood wedges. Or instead put on a green blouse, floral embroidered jean shorts, perfume bottle earrings, and pale taupe sneakers.

RoseBlood

Howard; In this modern day spin on Leroux’s gothic tale of unrequited love turned to madness, seventeen-year-old Rune Germain has a mysterious affliction linked to her operatic talent, and a horrifying mistake she’s trying to hide. Hoping creative direction will help her, Rune’s mother sends her to a French arts conservatory for her senior year, located in an opera house rumored to have ties to The Phantom of the Opera. 

Add some dark, Gothic flair to your outfits with a white blouse, a black rose embroidered skirt, a music notes watch, pink headphones, and red flats. Or wear a dark red brocade dress, black belt, a red flower headband, a black backpack, and black booties.

Inspired By: Beauty and the Beast

Are you ready for Beauty and the Beast?! Because I am! I am SO READY! I can tell it's going to be amazing just based on the trailer. The costumes and set and inanimate characters have an incredible amount of detail. Just look at this picture of Cogsworth. And Emma Watson's voice is beautiful! I'm going to be that fool that smiles the whole time I'm watching it.

 

Who else is seeing it this weekend?

Belle

Bookish and kind and clever Belle (Emma Watson) just wants to read her books and invent things (yep, in this movie she's the inventor!), but the townspeople think she's odd and Gaston is always trying to get her to marry him.

 

I took Belle's classic books and gave them a modern spin, so wear a open-shoulder blue dress, a drape-y blue cardigan, rose stud earrings, a rose-shaped purse, and taupe booties. Or for her most iconic look don a bright yellow dress, gold rose earrings, a sparkly headband, a Cogsworth bag, and metallic heels.

Beast

Hidden away in the castle for a very long time, the Beast (Dan Stevens) is an angry young prince who needs to fall in love and have something fall in love with him in order to break the spell.

 

Wear these chic items while in your own castle or at work: wear a gray blazer, a floral print blouse, black jeans, a rose bracelet, and black heeled booties. Or throw on a blue blazer, a yellow peplum top, gray jeans, a white watch, a pretty mirror, and navy Oxford flats.

Gaston

My what a guy, that Gaston! Arrogant and vain, Gaston (Luke Evans) is a former soldier turned hunter, who wants to marry Belle, and later when he learns of the Beast he wants to hunt him down and kill him.

 

Be sure to wear Gaston's favorite color: red, of course. Throw on a taupe blouse, a dark red vest, jeans, arrow earrings, and tall brown boots. Or wear a red blazer, a white top, khakis, rings, and red sneakers.

Cogsworth, Mrs. Potts, Lumiere & Plumette

The cursed inhabitants of the castle (Ian McKellen, Emma Thompson, Ewan McGregor, and Gugu Mbatha-Raw) are trapped by this spell just as much as the Beast (but complain a lot less!), so they also want the curse to be broken.

 

The range of metallic in the castle are gorgeous, so put on a striped tank top, a brocade skirt, a mirrored phone case, a gold rose ring, and gold flats. Or wear an off-the-shoulder black top, metallic brocade pants, rose necklace, and red pointed flats.

Every time I do these bookish posts, I find more novels I want to read and more clothes and accessories I want!

Queens of Geek is definitely on my Goodreads TBR.

Queens of Geek

Be girly and romantic in a ruffled white top, light distressed jeans, a blue watch, a gray beanie, and pink Converse. Or throw on a pink and floral dress, rose stud earrings, pink unicorn bag, "mermaid" pin, and tan wedges.

Strange The Dreamer

Written by Laini Taylor; The dream chooses the dreamer, not the other way around—and Lazlo Strange, war orphan and junior librarian, has always feared that his dream chose poorly. Since he was five years old he's been obsessed with the mythic lost city of Weep, but it would take someone bolder than he to cross half the world in search of it. Then a stunning opportunity presents itself, in the person of a hero called the Godslayer and a band of legendary warriors, and he has to seize his chance to lose his dream forever.

Get inspired by the dual colors of the cover by wearing a yellow tunic, leggings, "dream" necklace, silver rings, and lace-up brown boots. Or be a warrior in a gray leather jacket, a "rules breed rebels" shirt, ripped jeans, and black booties.

Hellworld

Written by Tom Levin; Five years ago, Abby Booth’s mom, cohost of a ghost hunting reality show, went missing while filming in a ‘haunted’ cave in Arizona. Abby has decided that things will change. She plans to go to the same cave where her mom and the crew went missing and to find out, once and for all, what happened there.

When solving crimes and possibly dealing with ghosts, it's best to wear layers, so throw on a gray jacket, zippered red sweater, gray jeans, a ghost pin, and black boots. Or be tough in an olive jacket, cold-shoulder gray top, burgundy jeans, little ghost earrings, red ring, and taupe booties.

Talk about genre-hopping! I went from a graphic novel to a romance to mystery to a young adult comedy, and that's only four of the books I read this month. In case you're wondering, I would 100% recommend all of these books. 

After reading The Last of August, a Sherlock Holmes-inspired book, I'm curious: Who's your favorite sleuth? The first mysteries I read were Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot books in middle school and then later I got into Sherlock Holmes. I like them both for different reasons, but Poirot was my first private detective.

Wires & Nerve

Written by Marissa Meyer and Douglas Holgate; In her first graphic novel, bestselling author Marissa Meyer extends the world of the Lunar Chronicles with a brand-new, action-packed story about Iko, the android with a heart of (mechanized) gold. When rogue packs of wolf-hybrid soldiers threaten the tenuous peace alliance between Earth and Luna, Iko takes it upon herself to hunt down the soldiers' leader. 

Kick ass and take down hybrid wolf-men like Iko in an effortless ensemble: a red cardigan, a black blouse, black leggings, red scarf, wolf ring, and heavy boots. Or dress like the new Queen Cinder in a blue dress, a flower crown, a moon ring, and gold sneakers.

The Hating Game

And they have no problem displaying their feelings through a series of passive aggressive maneuvers as they sit across from each other, executive assistants to co-CEOs of a publishing company. Now up for the same promotion, their battle of wills has come to a head, and Lucy refuses to back down. 

Dress like Lucy in a yellow shift dress, a red necklace, red lipstick, strawberry earrings, and black pumps. Or put on a Josh-inspired outfit: a baby blue blouse, trousers, a simple black watch, and blue heels.

The Last of August

Written by Brittany Cavallaro; Charlotte isn’t the only Holmes with secrets, and the mood at her family’s Sussex estate is palpably tense. Then Charlotte’s beloved uncle Leander goes missing from the estate—after being oddly private about his latest assignment in a German art forgery ring—and the game is afoot once again.

While walking down the streets of Berlin looking for clues, wear a very Charlotte outfit: a black dress, a long coat, a magnifying glass necklace, and black booties. Or instead dress like August in an olive jacket, a chambray top, black jeans, and beige boots.

Denton Little's Deathdate

Written by Lance Rubin; Denton Little’s Deathdate takes place in a world exactly like our own except that everyone knows the day on which they will die. For Denton, that’s in just two days—the day of his senior prom. Denton’s life is filled with mysterious questions and precious little time to find the answers.

Death is right around the corner for Denton, so he dresses casually in a plaid shirt, distressed jeans, skull ring, and red Converse. Or instead dress up for the senior prom in something purple (you'll get the joke if you've read the book): a purple floral dress, a purple watch, purple heels, and a gray hoodie.

Inspired By: Bakery in Brooklyn

I love a good light and fluffy movie, especially when it involves a cute bakery, comedy, family drama, cute boys, food fights, and baked goods!

Bakery in Brooklyn is about Vivien and Chloe, two cousins who have been inseparable since they were little, but that changes when they both inherit their dead aunt's boulangerie named Isabelle's. Both girls have differing ideas of what to do with the bakery: Vivien wants to keep it traditional and Chloe wants to add a modern spin. But then the bank says the bakery is in danger of being foreclosed, so they have to put their differences aside to keep Isabelle's open. 

The movie opens tomorrow in limited theaters.

Vivien

{Click for item info}

Vivien (Aimee Teegarden) was about to go on her dream trip to Europe when she found out about her aunt Isabelle's passing, so she decides to stay and help keep the bakery open. But she wants the shop to remain traditional since it's been that way for years. The bank sends Paul to tell her the bad news about the foreclosure, but she starts to fall for him. 

Hang out in Brooklyn while wearing a black blazer, gray dress, purple scarf, sunglasses, and beige booties. Or bake in style by putting in a floral and striped top, black jeans, cute printed apron, cupcake necklace, and burgundy booties.

Chloe

Chloe (Krysta Rodriguez) works as an assistant to Fernando, who is on a popular daytime cooking show, but she also goes to help at Isabelle's in order to keep it open. She wants to add some new flavor to the bakery to make it more modern. 

Keep it cool and casual in a gray button up, jeans, pointed toe flats, and ruffly apron. Or make delicious baked goods in a green tee, distressed jeans, hat, cupcake phone case, and black booties.

Paul & Fernando

Paul (Ward Horton) works for the bank and has to deliver the bad news to Vivien and Chloe that the bakery is in foreclosure. He starts to fall for Vivien and wants her shop to remain open. Wear a mix of professional and casual by donning a blue blazer, striped tee, jeans, watch, and gray sneakers.

Fernando (Aitor Luna) is a chef on a popular cooking show and thinks that Chloe should add a modern spin to the bakery. He begins to have feelings for Chloe. Dress like a super cool chef by wearing a quilted black jacket, a black tee, jeans, a "Will cook for wine" apron, heart earrings, and booties.
