Summer is Coming

It's time to bust out the air conditioning and tank tops because winter is ending. So if you're looking for some new items to add to your wardrobe...then what better place to look for inspiration than from Game of Thrones!?


The Summer Shopping Guide:
Represent Your Favorite Game of Thrones House


Advance Warning: If you're a guy, sorry.


House Baratheon
"Ours is the Fury."

This hot headed family is always at war for some crown or another.

Whitetail Antler Ring
$59 at Etsy

Crown Ring
$9 at LuLu's

$11 at Style Nanda

Emphasis on the war part.



Off Duty Combat Boots

House Stark
"Winter is coming."


Let's be real, for the Starks winter is always coming. Convert that fur frock into a vest and you are ready for summer!

Ghost vest
$90 at UStrendy
$250 on Curly Fur

Grey Wind vest
$29 on DJPremium

But if you're feeling REALLY dedicated, adopt the best accessory of all time. A PUPPY.

White Husky
Adopt a dog from your local animal shelter or rescue group.
Seriously, they make your life so much happier.



House Targaryen
"Fire and Blood."


Perhaps you're looking for a new summer look? That signature Targaryen platinum does great things for confidence (and not so great things for hair health so approach with caution)!

 

And while dragons AREN'T real, there are some chic substitutes.

Add some bold colors to your eyebrows
for something completely different. People
with bold eyebrows are very photographic,

black, but that gets depressing quickly.
Try bright colors instead.
