Toy Fair 2010: Violet Gumdrop!
Wednesday, February 17th, 2010Forest and Jenny went together like peas and carrots, but my bestie and I go together like milk and cookies. Mostly because I’d rather be a cookie than a carrot. Just saying. Anyway! You know how I am. Stamp a milk carton onto anything and I’ll come running. Lucky for me, the treasures over the [...]
Blingvaders
Wednesday, June 10th, 2009While I wouldn’t oppose wearing a pair of leggings made of rhinestones, I’ve never been much of a fan of uber blinged out jewelery. You’d think my obnoxious fashion sense would translate to accessories, huh? Anyway, I was sold on the idea of some over-the-top Space Invaders necklaces, but then I saw the accompanying video [...]
Mustache Gloves
Wednesday, February 18th, 2009Being a lady, I am incapable of growing a mustache let alone a twirly fancy one. In mustache emergencies, I’ve been known to draw one on my finger but sometimes a writing utensil isn’t always available, and hey, it’s still winter so my fingers get kind of chilly. Enter the Merino Mustache Gloves to save [...]
Panda And Spider Mitts
Friday, January 16th, 2009Here’s a dynamic duo I’m sure none of you have thought up before; the panda and the spider. While I may favor the panda in both mitt and real life form, you can’t discredit the spider’s transformation into a pair of cozy mittens. Really, who’d think he’d manage to be as warm (if not warmer [...]
Ray Gun Cufflinks
Thursday, January 8th, 2009Want to make your wrists go “pew pew”? While ray gun attachment surgery has hardly advanced in the past decade (someone really needs to get back on that), these ray gun cufflinks can at least give the illusion of super wrist shooting laser power. You know, until they figure that whole medical science out.
The Ray [...]
Apple Jewelry
Monday, December 29th, 2008Do you have a hankering for some classy Apple inspired jewelry? Sure, you might not be able to woo Steve Jobs into a lifetime supply of iPods, you gold digger you, but you’ll definitely catch the eye of many eligible geeks with Creative Dexterity’s Etsy collection. I plan on hypnotizing Joe with one of the [...]
Square Root Watch
Thursday, December 18th, 2008I can’t speak for the rest of you when I state that I got my square roots down to a “t” but I can go ahead and complete your assumption that I am an enormous nerd. I thought being square was cool now, so what’s my excuse? I’m never going to win, but if I [...]
LEGO Flower Earrings
Wednesday, December 17th, 2008Growing up we had an enormous tub of LEGOs that we’d drag out for super play time. Come to think of it, my family still does that. Anyway, my favorite things to dig for were always the flowers. They were hard to come by, but an exciting discovery none the less. If LEGO flowers are [...]
Paul Frank iPhone Cases
Monday, December 15th, 2008If you already have Paul Frank’s iconic monkey printed across your chest, back and bum, then maybe it’s time to start dressing your phone. Now, Julius is always a safe choice, but I personally have always been a fan of Skurvy, the skull and cross bones. I guess I’ll just have to settle for covering [...]
Hi 5 Mittens!
Tuesday, November 11th, 2008I’ve been pretty harsh on Kate Spade in the past. Maybe it was the overwhelmingly desperate trials of my high school peers carrying around knock off Kate Sade purses, maybe it was and is the outrageous prices or maybe it was how everything looked the freaking same. Whatever it was that left a bad taste [...]
The Charming Gamer – HA! Get It?
Wednesday, October 8th, 2008We all know that you “snazzy gamers” have your own charm, so prove it.
Laser cut from fiberboard, these NES inspired necklaces from the NB’s Closet Esty Shop are sure to take you back. And if you really want to get retro, then I would recommend an old friend of mine, the Speak n’ Spell.
The Nintendo [...]
Gorgeous Nintendo Jewelry
Monday, September 8th, 2008Third Project Juno, a self proclaimed nerd, has proved his nerdom through beautifully crafted silver and gold Zelda and Nintendo themed jewelry. Third Project Juno, a self proclaimed nerd, is also a total tease! What’s the French toast? He shows off these awesome Triforce pendants and earrings and specifically states that no more will be [...]
Newspaper Bags
Friday, September 5th, 2008With our waste growing exponentially year by year, it’s refreshing to see some new fresh ideas emerge from our old and used goods. While newspaper can be reused for a simple novelty like a wrapped present or even woven into fabric, it can also be a convenient accessory. These totes and wallets made from the [...]

Tuesday, June 10th, 2008In celebration of all the suitcases filled with bootleg watches on the streets of NYC, Karmaloop will be giving away a suitcase full of FLUD watches. Seriously. The winner will receive a a custom made aluminum case with clear top, packed with every model of watch FLUD has produced to date.
