Saturday Style: Gearing Up for Star Wars Weekends

Star Wars Weekends at Disney's Hollywood Studios start May 15, 2015 so now is the perfect time to get shopping for the cute couture that shows off your Star Wars #DisneySide. I'll have lots of great gear coming up in the next couple of weeks but I thought that I would kick it off with a little Ewok love for him or her. These sassy little critters have a way of stealing the show, and with a touch of closet cosplay from Her Universe you can do so as well.
