So, you've thought of photo booth props and wedding cakes for your geek-filled wedding. But have you considered the undercover garter belt? That's right — even one of the most classic wedding traditions is getting a nerd-tastic spin. Ahead, we've rounded up garters graced by the likes of Princess Leia, Wonder Woman, and more. Click on to see the best of the belts.
Every remarkable female astronaut (honestly, is there any other kind?) deserves a giant replica of her space suit made in her honor. New York-based artists Joanna Malinowska and Christian Tomaszewski are setting a precedent for tributes to space-faring humans with their installation Mother Earth Sister Moon, which manifests itself around a huge inflated Soviet cosmonaut suit based on the real one worn by Valentina Tereshkova, the first woman in space.
Valentina's inflated space suit is home to fashion shows, screenings, art showcases, and more. Visitors are allowed to walk in and out of the galactic installation, which realizes a vision of the future as seen by Communist regimes, by blending architecture, fashion, music, and design with Soviet sci-fi film and literature.
See the colossal room-sized cosmonaut suit for yourself at the Zacheta National Gallery of Art in Warsaw, Poland, until May 19, and preview the exhibit's fashion and design display after the break.
Watch out, Swatch. You're about to be replaced with a more personal version — InstaWatch! Rather than posting, printing, or pinning your favorite filtered photos, you can now turn them into arm candy for $44 a pop. Upload a photo (from Instagram or your computer) and choose from 14 band colors to match your pic perfectly.
Although we never imagined an Instagram-watch combo, we're not complaining. If you're cool enough, then why not rock a few at a time? It's totally '90s, totally cool, and totally our latest obsession!
For geek chic at its finest, turn to comic-book couture. Inspired by the bright colors and bold patterns of our favorite adventures, superheroes and style have collided.

Tech can certainly be fashionable, but how about when that tech gets right into the fibers of fashion? At New York Fashion Week, designer Vivienne Tam debuted a dress emblazoned loud and proud with a QR code. The dress is part of the designer's Fall 2013 collection, which combines a pop art influence with the aesthetic of a Mao Zedong-style military jacket.
With its bold color scheme and graphic print of a joyous President Obama, the dress is certainly a refreshing look from the runway. After seeing more tech meets fashion in the world — Carrie Underwood's light show Grammy dress was one for the geek fashion books — we have to know, would you add a QR-code dress to your wardrobe?
Putting deep feelings into words certainly isn't easy, but our favorite science fiction classics can help lessen that poetic burden. With Her Universe's new geek quote tees, share the Feb. 14 love with examples from Doctor Who, Star Wars, and Star Trek. With phrases like "The key to my TARDIS, the logic to my Vulcan, the Wookiee to my win," the shirts are the perfect sentiment for a significant other or best pal.
The arcade character with an insatiable appetite goes for the gold. Monserat De Lucca's dainty necklace ($54) and earring set ($42), featuring Pac-Man and his evil ghostly foes, wins first prize as this season's most stylish geeky accessories.
Jewelry-maker Monserat De Lucca, whose accessories are inspired by both the biker and bohemian lifestyles, turned the hungry arcade character and his enemies into lovely, wearable pieces. We'll rep our geekery loud and proud with this pretty Pac-Man jewelry set.
If you're looking for a Valentine's surprise, then these brass accessories would make a great gift for gaming geeks who like to keep it chic.
