Review – Chopper necklace

I already have a few pieces from the Body Vibe x Star Wars jewelry collection, and as a big Star Wars Rebels fan, I was excited to spot this ‘C1-10P’ necklace in my regular searches. So far I have only found it at Amazon, where it retails for US$15.00 (unfortunately they don’t…

Review – Mandalorian necklace

In April, Spencers released an exclusive Warriors Of Mandalore collection, which included a necklace. A short while later, they held a ‘buy one, get one for $1’ promotion on all jewelry. They had a few items I had been keen to buy, so I couldn’t resist – a Star Wars…

Review – MTFBWY sweatshirt

I knew I couldn’t buy everything on my wish list from Her Universe at Celebration Anaheim, one item I had to miss was the ‘May The Force Be With You’ sweatshirt. During Her Universe’s recent 5th Anniversary celebration I of course placed an order to receive one of the 300 purple envelopes…

Review – Preen Darth Vader sweatshirt

While fashion designers have often drawn from Star Wars as inspiration for a runway collection, it is much rarer to see actual licensed pieces. One well known example is Preen by Thornton Bregazzi, who released a Star Wars collection in February 2014. Preen’s range was stocked by a number of stores worldwide, giving fans and fashionistas…

Review – Red Rebel circle skirt

Released around May 2014, the Red Rebel circle skirt from Her Universe was one item I nearly missed out on. Living outside the US, I can only buy from Her Universe by using a mail redirection service. With that added expense (and currency exchange rates never in my favour), it’s a costly…

Review – C-3PO coin purse

I love the range of Loungefly x Star Wars coin purses, but as I don’t use cash much, I can’t really justify buying all the ones I like (at least at full price). During a regular ebay search, I came across a listing for a C-3PO coin purse for $7.99 – it’s…

While it was tough to narrow down my choices, I eventually decided to order the Rebel Alliance leggings. The leggings are priced at £35.00, which is approximately US$54.48, and are available in…
