May the Fourth be with you!

Happy Star Wars Day! It’s May the Fourth here in New Zealand, so of course I’m celebrating by wearing some of my favourite Star Wars fashion – and looking forward to checking out the Star Wars fashion sales and new releases when it hits May 4th in the US too!

It’s been five months since I launched The Kessel Runway, I never imagined finding so much to write about that I’d be posting once a day – let alone multiple times a day sometimes! It’s exciting to find so much Star Wars fashion for women, and I look forward to what the rest of the year brings, as we count down to Episode 7. StarWars.com has announced that The Force Awakens merchandise – including apparel – will go on sale September 4th ‘Force Friday’ –

Fans wanting to be the first to get their hands on Star Wars: The Force Awakens merchandise can set their hyperspace and social media coordinates now: They will be able to visit their local retailer starting at midnight on September 4, and are encouraged to document their experience using the hashtags #ForceFriday and #MidnightMadness. A wide-range of products — from toys and collectibles, to books and comics, ebooks and apps, to apparel and lifestyle accessories — will be available at mass retailers and Disney Store locations worldwide, as well as on DisneyStore.com.

I didn’t get around to posting the new The Force Awakens teaser trailer when it was first released – I was standing in line at Celebration Anaheim watching it live on my phone. It was amazing to watch surrounded by Star Wars fans, I’ve watched it many times since then, still gives me chills!
