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 – Imperial cardigan

Amongst my purchases from the Her Universe booth at Celebration Anaheim was the Imperial High Commander cardigan. It was first previewed in early April, paired with the pin-up Hoth dress (which I reviewed here), and of course I fell in love with the whole outfit. This is a great example of…

Review – Vader crossbody bag

As soon as I saw the Loungefly Darth Vader crossbody bag in preview photos, I knew I had to have it. I already have several Darth Vader items from the collection, but the 3D sculpts are a particular favourite of mine – very unique compare to other traditionally shaped handbags. As…

Review – braided strap R2 top

When I spend each day searching for Star Wars fashion, I love finding items that have a point of difference from a standard t-shirt. As soon as I saw this top with braided straps on the Hot Topic website, I knew I wanted it. The ivory-white tank top features artwork of R2-D2…

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…

Review – Death Star maxi dress

Fans of Star Wars fashion will be familiar with the amazing Rodarte gowns from 2014, but as they were never made available for sale, we could only dream of owning them. Then Thinkgeek came along with a great alternative – Star Wars maxi dresses. A more practical and versatile version of a…

Review – HOPE hooded top

This is one purchase where I learned a valuable lesson – if I see something I like from Her Universe, buy it straight away. I didn’t buy this Rebel Alliance ‘HOPE’ top when it first came out, and when I remembered about it – of course, my size was sold out.…

Review – 1977 X-Wing stud earrings

The X-Wing necklace is one of my favourite pieces from Weingeroff Ent. so I was very excited to find the matching stud earrings. They measure approximately 18mm across, 14mm high. I paid US$20 for them on ebay – a little more than the R2-D2/C-3PO earrings, but the X-Wings tend to…
