Oh so wonderful helmets from Les Ateliers Ruby, oh so out of my price range. The plain black or plain white, with the visors, are both sexy, or I love the circus stripes. One day…

I bought a pair of chunky, plastic framed nerd glasses in London a month or so ago. I’ll post up a photo of me wearing them when I get a chance. In the meantime, here’s a sampling of cute chicks in nerdy glasses, love this trend:

I can’t help but re-blog these Kenneth Jay Lane art deco earrings that my SwingFashionista buddy Jo Hoffberg posted up. I want them badly! At $150, I can’t justify them, but if you can (Christmas present perhaps?), get them here.

These designer Art Deco drop-earrings are surrounded with round and baguette crystals. Opaque turquoise beads are framed with angled black enamel inlays and the turquoise is visible from both sides of these silver-plated earrings. Finished with the Kenneth Jay Lane stamp of authenticity, these fashionable earrings are truly unique.

Metal: Silver plated
Stone: Austrian crystal
Length: 2.5”

Mad Men has me coveting oversized bud earrings, and grimacing at my jewelery box full of dangly creations. These ones, $30 at Banana Republic, here.

I love a big tote that will carry the usual handbag ephemera, plus a
couple of pairs of dance shoes and my camera, iPods and other myriad of
gadgets. And this one is stripey! Love it…
