Thursday Threads - Happy Harry Potter-versary

Can you believe that Harry Potter came out 20 years ago? That seems crazy. That's a lot of time to spend in the Wizarding World, but I would argue that it would be time well spent.

When they first made Harry Potter and the Philosopher's (Sorcerer's) Stone into a movie and everyone was getting excited about it, I found it super annoying. 

Give me a break. I was a teenager and teenyboppers were annoying as Hell. Anything they like, I immediately hated, as any teenager can attest to. My mom had borrowed the first few books from a neighbor kid and told me I wasn't allowed to judge it until I had read them for myself. So I picked up the first book, convinced that I would hate it and was swept away into a magical World and have never looked back since.

And I'm certainly not the only one who's had this experience.

Lots of people are celebrating this anniversary, including two of my fave geeky clothing boutiques. Let's check out what they are offering for this momentous occasion.

Black Milk

Can I just say how much I want to own these House leggings? All of them, not even the houses I'm loyal to.... I just want all of them. 

  

 And this cloak of invisibility poncho.... yes please...

Hedwig or Bertie Botts? I can't decide. I want both sets

Living Dead

Living Dead tends to offer the best in cosplay dresses and shirts and it makes me so happy that they've added this House collection

This dress makes me head over heels for Hedwig

So how will you be celebrating this occasion?

Thursday Threads - Fantastic Clothes and Where To Find Them

Is everyone excited about Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them? 

I know I am and so is Hot Topic!

They've released a gorgeous line of clothes to match the movie, so if you've got time today to swing by a Hot Topic today before you go to the theatre, you could be walking into the movie in one of these great outfits!

 While you're there looking for new everyday cosplay outfits, check out these great Marvel collabs between HT and Her Universe! I've loving the Captain Marvel and Agent Carter dresses! 

Or you can get into a Time Travel mood with these Great Doctor Who finds 

ThinkGeek & Her Universe have paired up again to release this amazing Star Trek collection of fashion to help dress up, geek up and beam up your wardrobe

I want everything from this collection. EVERYTHING!

BlackMilk wants to remind us where Fantastic Beasts came from with a trip back to Hogwarts. I'm loving these House Crest dresses. You can imagine my want for the Ravenclaw dress

 This incredible dress is reversible, showing the journey to Hogwarts on one side and the Great Hall on the other. Too cool!

Grab your wizard wands and robes, time machine or star ship and set off for a great weekend of geeky exploration!

Thursday Threads - BlackMilk's Marvel New York Collection

Hooray for BlackMilk's new Marvel New York Collection. 

As if BlackMilk wasn't enough of a draw on it's own, now they are trying to entice me to empty my wallet once again with a great and daring new collection of superheroes and super clothing

Just look at these dresses! I want every one, starting with that Captain America Marilyn dress, then quickly followed by the reversible Spiderman/Venom number 

I'm loving the Wasp skirt and really badly want to add it to my collection

Not sure how I feel about overalls and jumpsuits, but I could be convinced to lounge around the house in the latter or any of these great leggings

I'm glad that they are still making bathing suits, but I wish that they would have more selection. Same goes for these kick-ass jackets 

The shirts are not my style, but BlackMilk seems to like them and you might too. I'd be more likely to use them for workout clothes. 

 So, what's your take on this new super collection? I think it's right up my crime-fighting ally
