It’s a style salute to our forever girl and we’re going for the full Hawkeye purple. With citygirl sense and modern flair, this Kate Bishop is setting out for the left coast with arrow motifs and McKelvie cutouts in tow.

L.A. Graphic Tee + Ponte Zipper Dress + Miista Ankle Boots
Studded Cuff + Skinny Illusion Jeans + Jacquard Moto Jacket
It’s always handy when fashion trends work in the favor of the fashionably-inclined geek girl. Lately, there’s been a heck of a lot of chevron everywhere which is reminiscent of, or at least to the Hawkeye fan’s eye, arrows. (It also helps that arrows seem to be in vogue too!) Bauble Bar, an online jewelry store that stays on point with current fashions, has kept up with the chevron and arrow craze. They’ve got some pretty cute pieces that would be perfect for any fan of the Hawkguy. (Plus, they’ve got free shipping!)
Infinity Arrow Ring + Love Struck Pendant + Chevron Vinyl Bracelet
Gold Deltoid Cuff + Tri Chevron Necklace + Chevron Ring
Street level, but not quite street style. A feminine flair with some busy city edge, nothing says Kate Bishop like urban chic and luxury casuals. Whether it’s combat boots for superhero hijinks, off-duty model camis by fashion week darling Alexander Wang, or cozy knits for downcast days — big city style is just like waking up on the right side of the bed and knowing how amazing it is to be you.

T by Alexander Wang Classic Tank With Pocket + Volatile Purple Combat Boots + AllSaints Colour Block Skirt

What’s even better than one Kate Bishop? Join us as we continue our celebration of Hawkeye Week by highlighting the Hawk-related costumes that Bria and Lin have done over the past few years.
On the left, we have Bria’s Hawkingbird costume which was based on Kate Bishop’s first appearance in the Young Avengers, where she cobbled together a costume from pieces left behind by former Avengers. On the right, we have Lin’s Hawkeye II costume that Kate designed for herself, once she and the rest of the team decided to continue to be superheroes. Basically, we live the Kate Bishop appreciation life and strive to one day have all of her costumes done between the two of us!
And as a bonus round, you can also check out Bria’s Sailor Hawkeye based upon the Sailor Avengers artwork by Ann Marcellino.

It’s Hawkeye Week, bro. In honour of the new story arc debuting this week, we decided to fly our purple pennants — so check back in with us every day as we class up this joint like Kate Bishop, party like Tracksuit Dracula, and make embarrassingly coordinated kitchenware like Clint Barton.
Now you, too, can make embarrassingly coordinated kitchenware like Clint Barton.
Wrong again, Clint.

You’ll need:
- purple mugs
- porcelain/ceramic paint
- painter’s tape
- paint brush
1. Wash your mugs. Follow the paint instructions for prepping the surface.
2. Use painter’s tape to create an H stencil on each mug — it’s one of the easiest letters, so it’s faster this way. Don’t forget to compensate for curvier mugs by tapering off. Make sure the tape is securely affixed.

3. Carefully paint inside the stencil. You might need to do a couple of coats.
4. Allow to fully dry and then peel off the tape.
5. Cure according to the paint’s instructions.
6. Dream big.

Notes:
1. Porcelain markers are also widely available if you want a quickie job.
2. Porcelain/ceramic paints are generally not food safe — just ensure that the paint is comfortably far enough from the lip of the mug. Always check the warning labels of the paint you use.
3. Having a hard time finding purple mugs? Mine are super cheap-o from here.
