Legos Make Their Way Into High Fashion
With their bright colors and geometrical shapes, it's no surprise that designers are incorporating Legos into their trend-setting creations. During New York Fashion Week, Spring '08 the Fab ladies had the chance to check out the Marc by Marc Jacobs Spring collection, which just so happened to feature Lego belt buckles and hair accessories. It all started with Balenciaga, who came out with the Lego inspired heels in February— supposedly their version of 'sporty stilettos'.

Geek Out: Help Me Find Geek Jewelry!
I am addicted to geek jewelry. I don't always wear it, but I love shopping for it, taking photos of it, drooling over it and giving it to people as gifts.

Geek Jewelry: A Look at All Things Shiny, Smart
Geek jewelry comes in many forms.
