Geeky jewelry is pretty easy to not take too seriously. . . until you come across a piece like the Sterling Lego Cuff, and see its price tag: $350!
The plastic and sterling silver bracelet would be a fun find if it were under $25, but I'd have to be either a true spendthrift or really serious about my Lego accessories to consider getting it. What do you think of it?
I've spent many long flights wishing that the screen on my iPod were as big as my TV's. Don't get me wrong, I'd rather watch my own movies on a tiny screen than whatever is playing in the cabin that day, but let's be honest — iPod screens are pretty darn small.
So when I saw these Vizuex iWear Glasses ($250) that allow you to watch movies and play games from your iPod and gaming console in 16:9 aspect ratio (it's like watching a 52-inch display from nine feet away) just by connecting the cable to your chosen device and slapping on the glasses, I got a little excited. Does this mean the eye straining days of watching movies on my iPod are over?
What do I need these for? I have no idea. But the Star Wars Stack 'Ems have an irresistible pull on me either way. They're $10 each and blind-boxed, so you don't know which character you'll get, and they're not totally useless — you can use them as key chains or just get really bored and stack them up as intended.
What do you think? Pointless or pretty awesome?
Having a penchant for geeky accessories doesn't mean you have to let your freak-flag fly for all the world to see. There are discreet ways of doing it, as with these Mini Lego Earrings ($15).
They're teeny and unobtrusive, and only the most eagle-eyed of admirers will be able to tell they're legos, and when they do, you're sure to get compliments.
But something that's essentially children's building blocks good enough for your earlobes? Tell me about it in the comments below.
If you remember the craziness of the wedding season at Sugar, then you remember the myriad possibilities there are to add a geeky touch to your wedding. Sure, a lot was fun to look at, but sometimes you don't stuff that's so overt. You could wear this Nintendo Garter ($23), and the only people who have to know are you and your groom. And your groom's buddies post-wedding when he brags about how awesome his new bride is, wearing Nintendo lingerie and all.
What do you think? Would you sport this under your dress?
