Geeky Style "Girl" and "Guy" Versions.

I was informed that my Fashion Articles so far are sexist as they only featured looks for girls! Whoops! Sorry guys. So I decided to create a bunch of looks in a "Girl" and "Guy" Version Mainly because I couldn't find a lot of unisex stuff out there. It was a challenge to keep the looks consistent but interesting while still making them wearable.

Using A T-shirt as a base for both the "Girl" and "Guy" versions I worked to find comparable items for each set. All the T-shirts are from Think Geek and on my Wish list!

First Up:

Guys Geeky Outfit #1 by Miss Addict featuring Converse shoes

Girl Geek Outfit #1 by Miss Addict featuring Converse shoes

"You Never Forget your first Doctor" Shirt as a base. I love this shirt with a passion being a MASSIVE Doctor Who fan. My Favourite part of this outfit is the Chucks and the "Girl" versions Jacket. That Jacket = Major lust for me! Please note I accidentally used Kids Chucks in these Sets but they do come in Adult Sizes!

The "Girl" version has a bit more zaniness to it due to the tights but if your not a zany person you could lose the coloured tights for plain ones. The "Guy" version is a slightly more complex version of the Basic "Guy" Look and could be added to with a coloured shirt under the Tshirt or by adding shorts and knee high socks to the look.



Second Up:

Guys Geeky Outfit #2 by Miss Addict featuring French Connection

Girl Geeky Outfit #2 by Miss Addict featuring Frye boots

For the Firefly Fans out there a "Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal" shirt. Wanted to add some of the feel of Firefly in the outfit, those the leather and cowboy-ish feel! The boots in these outfits are the "Girl" and "Guy" version of the Frye Engineer Boot. Accents of Gold to match the brown shirt and the boots make this a really handsome outfit whether worn by a girl or guy and I love the leather bag! I already own the City Of Angels Ring in Silver and its beautiful!

I think the "Guy" version ended up looking more Tailored while the "Girl" Version is a lot more flowy but if your a Girl who loves Tailored you could always wear similar pants to the "Guy" version and I have seen some Guys rocking a Flowy Cardigan!


and Third:

Guys Geeky Outfit #3 by Miss Addict featuring Converse shoes

Girl Geeky Outfit #3 by Miss Addict featuring Converse shoes

A Self Maintenance shirt forms the base item along with a pair of Classic High Top Converse All Stars.. I wanted to Match the colours of the chucks throughout the outfit without making it look really crowded . So I added Teal and Red accessories and tried to keep the feel of the outfit the same for both "Guy" and "Girl". The "Guy" Version of the outfit has less colour due to not being able to find as much to match. But as with all the outfits you could mix and match the accessories around to your liking.


So What do you peoples think? Ever Steal things from your Brothers/Sisters or BF/GF wardrobe?

Please Note I have used "Guy" and "Girl" in quotation marks since the outfits are based on traditional "Girl" "Guy" Stereotypes. However I have seen many a Guy rock a skirt and lots of Girls kick arse in Guys Jeans and a Waist Coat.

Twitter Pillow by Craftsquatch

I am addicted to Twitter. Whole heartedly. It came to me when I was walking home in the rain shielding my phone so I could send a tweet complaining about the rain! And thus I started composing this post. I am probably missing alot the signs of Twitter Addiction so feel free to add them in the comments!

1. The first thing you do when you wake up is to announce your presence to Twitter.

2. You Tweet people who are in the same house as you.My sister and I do this frequently...

3. Your friends no longer call you to find out how life is going since they now follow your every move on Twitter.

4. You use hash tags in IM conversations with friends. Extra points if you do it outloud in RL.

5. You have more than one Twitter Ap (eg. Twitteriffic, Tweetie, TweetDeck, Twirl or Digsby) installed on your computer and your choosen one runs automatically when you start the computer.

6. When you cant twitter you start to get withdrawl symptoms such as talking to yourself (but only in 140 characters or less).

Flash Games Addiction!

Picture By /Francesca

Im not really one for video games. My sister currently holds the reigning title of "Queen of Playstation and Xbox" in my house. However I personally love flash games. Utterly love them. I get sucked in and will emerge hours later trying to figure out how I managed to lose 5 hours of my life. So I thought I would share with you the games that I am currently playing to distraction. Play at your own risk!

Nom Nom Nom 4 Fud

This is the lol cat game. Use the cats tail to aim and slingshot the cat towards fud. Earn extra points by collecting cheese burgers and balls of yarn.
I discovered this game last week and played for hours. Getting frustrated with levels I couldn't get past and rejoicing when I beat them! I promptly got a friend of mine obsessed too and we sat chatting backwards and forwards about how we were doing for hours enjoying the incredible cuteness that is a zooming cat looking for Fud.
Addiction Level: 8

Bejewelled

I first got addicted to this game back in high school and found it again a couple of weeks ago thanks for a fellow addicted friend. Match jewels to get points. You can play beat the clock or regular untimed games. A very easy way to pass the time. Not as cute as Nom Nom Nom 4 Fud but a decent way to distract yourself while you wait for something to download.
Addiction Level 5

Peggle

Like a game of ping ball with a cannon. Extremely hard but satifying when it does what you want. Hit all the targets by rebounding the ball in the right direction. I found this one after I finally got bored with BeJewelled and finally went looking for something else to play. Cute Name, Addictive Game.
Addiction Level: 7

Pengiun Baseball

I have been playing this game for years. I am shocking at it but I love it all the same! Hit a penguin as far as you can playing a baseball bat swinging Yeti. Again with the addictive. Of course penguin lovers might want to skip this one!
Addiction Level: 6

All Screen Shots are captured from original game sites.

What games are you addicted to? Any games you have loved for years and years that never seem to get old? Anything Im missing out on? Lemme know in the comments!

Love and Addictions I'm off to play Num Num Num 4 Fud!

Miss Addict!

I must say a very special thank you to Adam who has been testing games along with me the last couple of days. I got him horridly addicted to Nom Nom Nom 4 Fud. Sorry Hun! ( he is much better at it than me so I dont feel that guilty!)

How to Endure Dress Shopping

Photo By: mostaque

I recently had to go shopping for a dress to wear to a wedding. The first time I went was a study in frustration. Not only could i not find a dress but trying on dresses was time consuming because I hadn’t planned ahead. So for my next trip I sat down and worked out how to make my shopping trip less of a hassle and here is what I came up with.

• Figure out what you want. Sounds simple A Dress! Then you consider things like length, colour and warmth factors. It’s considered inappropriate to wear black or white to a wedding. Floor length was to formal and any short than just above the knee and I wouldn’t be comfortable. I also wanted to make sure it was wearable with a cardigan preferably something I could wear again.

Trying on dresses means you are going to need to get practically naked. Make sure you are wearing a strapless bra as I discovered most dresses have really thin straps or are strapless.

Wear as few layers as possible. Having to try and 10 on dresses means having to get undressed 10 times so Wear a shirt you can pull over your head, An easy to take off skirt or Jeans (no belt) and slip on and off shoes (no boots or shoes with laces)

If you are going to wearing a cardigan with your dress take that with you (or wear it) so you can try it on with varies dresses. Going to be wearing tights under the dress? Wear those so you can get an accurate idea about whether the dress will look decent or stupid.

Try on as many dresses as you need to til you find one you like. If you find one that is perfect you love omg YOU MUST HAVE IT! BUY IT! Dont try on another 100 dresses trying to find one just as good.

Stick to your price range. Dont try on dresses out of it unless you are prepared to pay that price. Why? If you find a dress you love but its out of your price range you shall break your own heart AVOID this!

Take a Friend with you to do up zippers and make sure they are honest enough to tell you if you look terrible in it.

If you like a dress but arent sure, Take a photo (you may have to be sneaky) and sleep on it.

Not sure its appropriate for the occasion? Ask the sales lady in the store they are great at this. If the dress your wearing isnt appropriate (to short/long/wrong colour etc) they can usually point you in the right direction.

What do you wear dress shopping lovelys?
