[INSPO] What Would Effie Trinket Wear?

June 23, 2014
by Bria

The costumes in the Hunger Games are incredible visual treats especially once we arrive at the Capitol.  One of the especially fun characters to watch on screen is Effie Trinket.  From that first bright fuchsia dress to that pale pink brocade one to the one entirely covered in freaking butterflies, she never wears anything boring.

There’s a chance that the fashions of our world might not be able to keep up with Effie.  She’s one of the few who would might have to tone down her style for our world.  Let’s think of these more like ‘inspired by’ looks.

We’ll start with very three dimension dress by Alexandre Vauthier.

Next up, there’s this Zac Posen with a gorgeous fabric that would be right up her alley.

[INSPO] What Would Katniss Everdeen Wear?

November 22, 2013
by Bria

We’re continuing our celebration of Catching Fire’s release this week with some Hunger Games posts.  Today, we’re asking ourself ‘What Would Katniss Everdeen Wear?’

This one was actually kind of fun because there’s a built in mechanism for approaching this.  The Capitol gives each tribute a stylist for the Hunger Games and Cinna is paired with Katniss.  Katniss herself is very much not inclined towards wearing fancy clothing or the pomp and circumstance that comes with it all.  So almost all of the looks included here are either looks I could see her wearing during the pre-Games, the Victory Tour, or during events when she’s back in District 12 and yet needs to be presentable.

We’ll start with this gorgeous Christian Siriano dress.

One thing that Katniss has always had has been a great looking leather jacket to wearing while hunting.  This 3.1 Phillip Lim one looks like a fashionable upgrade for it.

Both of these pieces by Daniel Vosovic and Anna Sui respectively feel like something might be a bit of a compromise between Cinna and Katniss when it comes to wearing things around the house in her District.  They’re casual enough to remind people that she’s from one of the outer districts without looking too sloppy.

[WAYW] I’m Still Betting On You – Cinna – Hunger Games

November 20, 2013
by Bria

wayw_bria_cinna01

LET ME TELL YOU ALL THE WAYS IN WHICH I LOVE CINNA.  Except not really because we’ll be here all year.  Catching Fire is going to destroy my soul but in honour of its release on Friday, I put together a simple outfit inspired by him.  Even though he’s a stylist and a designer in the Capitol, he’s described as dressing simply and in black.  I accented with some leather, accessorized with gold, and if you squint really hard, you can see my attempts at gold eyeliner.

Hunger Games: Capitol Couture

March 11, 2013
by Bria

You’ve probably already heard about Hunger Games: Catching Fire’s latest marketing campaign but it certainly deserves some more recognition and chatter!  Last week they used Capitol Couture, a fictional in-universe fashion site, to debut new character posters after teasing them on Instagram with a hashtagged clue.  Each poster (with one exception) features either a Victor of the Hunger Games or a prominent member of the Capitol dressed in some rather dapper and fabulous looks by costume designer Trish Summerville.  (And if you look closely, you can even play spot the Alexander McQueen…)  Seriously, how amazing is Katniss’s dress especially once you see the Mockingjay worked into the design?

Each poster has been exclusively revealed by a different media outlet but you can check out all of the revealed posters over on the official Hunger Games Facebook page.

[INSPO] The Wonderful World of Etsy

February 21, 2013
by Bria

Scrolling through Etsy can be a dangerously time consuming process, but it often turns up some awesome geeky items!  The other day, I lost myself to the endless Etsy search (I think I was looking for Iron Man earrings originally?) and so I thought I’d share some of the neat items I found with all of you, in case anyone feels like treating themselves to combat the winter blues.  Just because the holidays and Valentine’s Day has passed doesn’t mean you can’t spoil yourself with something fun!

I also suggest checking out the rest of the Etsy store where these items are from.  Most of them have a really neat selection of other geeky items that you might like.

Kid Loki Fingerless Gloves
These are an adorable way to stay warm while still looking stylish.  Trickster tendencies not included…

Wonder Woman Eyeglass Case
Maybe you’re looking for a more casual way to show your geekdom AND a way to keep your glasses not broken?  I think Wonder Woman has you covered.

Iron Man Heels
They might be on the pricey side but wow are shoes created from old comics awesome!  If you’re the sort to wear fabulous shoes and are looking for someway to treat yourself then these just might do the trick.
