My “Lucifer” Poshmark & Depop Finds

August 2, 2020      B      5 Comments

Every now and then I get an itch to try and find some screen accurate (SA) items from some of my favorite shows and movies. This time around it’s the show “Luficer.” In order to find out what items to look for I’ve been using Lucifer Style along with Worn On and Shop Your TV. I try to focus only on clothing I know I’ll wear like jackets or certain tops.

Sanctuary Camo Bomber Jacket: Chloe Decker // 3×5 // 4×08

Collage By: Lucifer Style

This was one of my first finds! It’s a jacket worn by Chloe Decker in a few different episodes. It’s actually really comfortable and I got it for just $25. The hardest part about shopping online via places like Poshmark is sizing. You can’t return items because of sizing/fit, so make sure you do your search on size charts. I’ve really lucked out and normally go with a larger size if available. It’s rather something be a little too big but wearable instead of too small.

Silence + Noise Stays On Tour Satin Bomber Jacket: Chloe Decker // 2×13

Another really fun jacket! Like I said, I’m trying to stick to things I know I’ll wear. It was hard to find this one in my size but it worked on in the end. Sometimes you just need to keep checking, sometimes on daily basis.

Zara (Basic) Crepe Bomber Jacket: Chloe Decker

When you search for this online, you’ll get a few of those “Hollywood Leather Jacket” sites. Ignore them. There is no reason to pay $150 for something like this when the original didn’t even cost that much. I paid $18 for this. It’s very light weight and will be great for Spring. Plus it’s black so it goes with everything.

Topshop Petite Lattice Stud Sweater: Mazikeen // 2×17

I had zero luck finding this on Poshmark, so I hopped over to Depop to see what I could find. I found one U.S. seller and while it was a size Small, I had to take the chance. This is my Holy Grail item. It fits OK but I went back to search again and found a few UK sellers. I lucked out finding someone who would ship to the U.S. and the larger size is on the way. If that one works out I’ll just sell the smaller size. Fingers crossed!

I’m keeping my eyes peeled for a few more items but that’s my little collection for now. It’s actually been fun to try and hunt pieces down. I’m very excited to see what the new season of “Lucifer” brings fashion wise. I’m sure I’ll see something that tickles my fancy. Anyone else out there looking for SA clothing? Let me know!

Elhoffer Design Fit Guide: Round Two

July 4, 2020      B      Leave a Comment

I mentioned creating another Elhoffer fit post and here we are! Since Elhoffer Design is always releasing new styles and cuts, I wanted to revisit this post and hopefully feature some new customers and clothing. This guide will never be perfect. Everyone likes their clothes to fit differently. Some like things to be form fitting, others a little looser, but hopefully in the end it’ll help you out with what size to pick. The most important thing to pay attention to are the measurements people supply! Every listing that Elhoffer has includes a measurement chart that I find helpful. Plus she mentions the measurements of the models used in the listing. If you don’t have your measurements, I highly recommend having someone take them for you. You don’t need all of them, just the basics like chest, hips, and waist. Once you have that information, finding your size will be much easier. As always, if you have any questions or comments leave them below and I’ll try my best to help you out! The Starpuff Community is pretty great. You can always post on Twitter as well for help and someone will swoop in! You can find Round One here.

Ashley

Height – 5’4″
Bust – 47″, 42D
Waist – 45.5/46″
Hips – 46″
Size: 3XL (dresses, leggings and non-oversized tops), 2XL (wrap dresses, midi skirts and knit skirts), XL/2XL (oversized sweaters), XL (unisex pieces)
Extra thoughts: I’m a standard US 16/18 in pants, skirts and dresses, however depending on fit I may be a US 20. Elhoffer is true to size for me and fits better than clothes that I get in typical retail stores. It’s loose enough to where it’s comfortable and flattering without being baggy, which is an issue I run into elsewhere since I can float between sizes.

Katarina

My measurements are 32 bust, 25 waist, and 36 hip. I purchase XS’ and they fit pretty spot on even if I measure closer to a S on some pieces. It’s the beauty of the stretch that practically every piece has. In fact I have a small cardigan that I bought on Black Friday and ended up taking it in. I’m only 5’1 so I do have to hem the longer dresses and capes are a bit more epic on me length wise but it’s easy to add a hem so I’m not bothered by that. The clothes are always a great quality that fit my frame and make my nerdy self feel put together and stylish.

Chelsea:

Height: 5’5″
Bust: 51 inches (40 DD)
Waist at Belly Button: 53 inches
Waist above belly button: 51 inches
Hips: 56 inches
Dresses, tops, skirts: 3x
Oversize items: xl/2x

Thoughts: I am a pretty standard 3x in most things Elhoffer. Theoretically, I can go down a size (especially in the wraps) but I prefer to have a little wiggle room for comfortability. I also have broader shoulders and larger biceps and I have never had an issue with anything being tight in the arms and shoulders. At 5’5″ I’m a pretty average height so I don’t have to worry about hemming anything and, with the exception of the original House Wraps, I’ve never had an issue with anything being too long. I am a pretty standard 3x across the board.

Name: Retired Mischief Sheath Dress
Size: Small
Fit on me: Dress is a perfect fit. Upper chest section has good stretch and is not at all snug. Length is un-altered and lands below knee at upper shin.

Name:
Retired Galactic Dark Lord Oversized Sweater – Purple
Essential High-Waisted Leggings – Black

Size: Top – XS/S
Bottoms – Small

Fit on me: Top is long enough in back to cover my um, and is oversized but still shapely.
Leggings sit on my waist and are a tad long so can be rolled or hemmed. Leggings are a bit snug on my waist but fit well around my thighs.

Name: Retired Oversized Corps Sweater
Size: XS/S
Fit on me: Sleeves hit a bit above wrist, sweater hits just below belly button and is loose. Shoulders can be worn as wide boat neck.

Name: Retired Magical Maxi Wrap Dress – Red (HEMMED)
Size: Small
Fit on me: This dress fits like a glove!! Top can be wrapped more or less to show more or less cleavage. I got this hemmed to a midi length so it hits at me knees and had the wrap ties cut a bit to match.

Name: Retired Galactic Scavenger Hooded Cape – Grey
Size: One Size
Fit on me: When the cape is hung down the tips almost touch the ground but I can drape those bits over my arms to make the cape shorter if desired.

Name: Retired Galactic Bromance Cardigan
Size: Small
Fit on me: Cardigan length hits around my belly button. The sleeves are a little long but if I need them shorter I fold the cuff back and they’re the perfect length. I have the Retired Punk and Retired Corps cardigans in the same size but with ¾ length sleeves and they fit the same way

Name:
Retired Serpent Slayer Hooded Cardigan
Retired Magical Midi Pleated Skirt – Dark Emerald
Size: Top: Small
Bottom: Small – hemmed approx. 4”

Fit on me: Top fits well but gapes a bit between top buttons when buttoned up.
Skirt fits perfectly and was hemmed to hit me at knee length rather than mid calf.

Name:
Essential Catherine V-Neck Top -Charcoal
Retired OG Agent 13 Skirt
Size: Top: Medium
Skirt: Small

Fit on me: I sized up on this top which I’m so glad that I did because I personally don’t like when tops have to stretch to fit around my torso as I feel constricted. I also have a kind of short waist-line so I don’t personally like the look of tops that stretch over my ribs and hips. That said, I can tell that this material has a lot of stretch and I’m sure that had I gone with my regular small it would have worked, the medium just gives me more wiggle room. I also love the length of this top and it works well tucked in or out.
The skirt fits great at a size small and like the magical midi skirts has a thick waistband.

Name: Retired Marvelous Arrow Sheath Dress
Size: XS!
Fit on me: I took a chance on this dress and ordered the XS because S&M were sold out and it fits so well! The knit material has such amazing stretch and in a way that doesn’t feel at all tight or constricting, and the nature of the material doesn’t pull or cling anywhere. I was worried that it might me a little tight in the underarm area but it is not.

Name: Retired Stars and Stripes Soviet Sheath Dress
Size: Small
Fit on me: This dress also fits great and doesn’t stretch much to fit me. Because of the thickness of the material it doesn’t cling anywhere. This dress is a little tighter under my arms than the Marvelous arrow dress but it’s not uncomfortable.

I’m normally a Large in most things (shells, leggings, skirts, wrap dresses, tunics, sweaters, cardigans), but can size down to Medium on wrap dresses if needed. I have the Catherine tops in Large, but they’re a bit tight, so I could *maybe* go up a size – next color release! Also, the skater skirts that are top stitched I’m an XL or 2XL (which is a bit loose, but I didn’t get an XL so can’t test this theory).

Kacey:

Bust: 38
Waist: 34
Hips: 41
Generally I’m a 12, or Large in most US sizes.

Pic 1: bravery cape wrap in medium
Pic 2: yule ball dress in large (could have gotten a medium)
Pic 3: essential oversize sweater in M/L and skater skirt in L
Pic 4: magical midi in M (now I size up to L since it presses on my ribs and they are my widest part)
Pic 5: skater skirt in M
Pic 6: maxi skirt in L, with this fabric, I do feel I could have stayed at a medium based on where I wear the top of the skirt
Pic 7: mischief shell in L
Pic 8: mischief shell in M
I was ordering the shells in a large, bit have since changed to mediums, and out of necessity, even a small works sometimes
Pic 9: snips shell in small

Stacey:

I’m 5’9” with 36” bust, 29” waist, and 34” hips. I typically wear Smalls across the board with Elhoffer, with the exception of shells and skirts. I prefer the fit of XS shells and Medium skirts compared to the Smalls.

Jordandené: The Perfect Casual Nerd Clothing Option

September 26, 2019      B      4 Comments

I might seem like a fancy bitch who has it together fashion wise but I’m mostly a tee shirt and and jeans type of girl. I’m lazy and it’s easy. But it’s hard to find nerdy related shirts that don’t scream in your face. I don’t always want or need a comic book cover on a tee. Sometimes I just want something simple and laid back, but still gets the point across. That’s why I love Jordandené. Her designs are simple yet perfect. The company focuses mainly on famous quotes from some of our favorite fandoms like Marvel, Harry Potter, Star Wars, Supernatural, and a million others. Plus they do this thing where every month they feature a different Shirt Of The Month. Sometimes they bring back an old favorite, other times it’s something brand new and limited. And while their prices are very affordable, the shirts are amazingly comfy! They’re soft and perfect for year round wear. Plus all their products are manufactured in sweatshop-free environments.

They don’t just offer clothing though, they have some really cute coffee cups too! They feature the same quotes you find on the shirts and are a perfect way to show your fandom side at the office. I have a “Not Bad For The End Of The World” cup myself, which seems kinda perfect these days. You can find more mug options here. Or maybe you’re part of the enamel pin craze? They have you covered too.



If you’re someone who attends comic conventions, you’ll be sure to find them with a booth! Everyone who works for Jordandené are sweet and very easy to talk to. If you have questions about fit or style, they’re more than happy to help! In fact, they’re going to be at New York Comic Con, Booth 1378! Not only that, but they’ll be featured on a few panels as well. You can learn more about their NYCC plans on their blog.

Oh and don’t forget to sign up for their rewards program! You’ll earn points by shopping, following them on social media, and signing up for newsletters. It’s honestly super easy and who doesn’t love earning discounts? Do any of you have some of their products in your closet? Let me know below!
