Ridiculously adorable... but also just ridiculous

I spend a lot of time thinking about punctuation, so I covet these Kate Spade Air Quote Mittens with a fiery passion.


Sadly, I would need these gloves to be at least 75% off before I would even consider buying them. $65 for a pair of mittens is straight-up crazy.

Kate Spade gets literary


If you're very, very wealthy and therefore don't mind dropping $325 on a novelty item, may I suggest these Kate Spade "Book of the Month" clutches? Sadly, they don't come with copies of the actual texts (although wouldn't that be useful?), but they do look pretty awesome, and—for once—the books she's chosen are all books I like!

The Scarlet T-Shirt

The L.A. Times recently posted an article about literary-themed t-shirts. I particularly liked the style of and idea behind these baseball-style shirts... but I wish they'd chosen better characters to get inspired by:

A high-end store sinks to new lows

I cannot believe this: Nordstrom is producing a line of Twilight-inspired clothing.

Sure, we'd all expect this from stores like Hot Topic, Wet Seal, and the more cost-conscious department stores (after all, what is a t-shirt like this one, if not the teen-girl equivalent of a Hannah Montana hoodie?), but I can't believe this line is being sold at Nordstrom, purveyor of $600 prom dresses, $185 candles, and—my favorite—$170 baby snow suits. (Sure, the kid will only fit into it for about a week and a half, but hey: it's Juicy couture!)

At least they're still charging sky-high prices, even for this truly hideous plaid shirt/dress-thing. It's a small comfort, but better than nothing.

So much more entertaining than the books themselves...

I was thinking of doing a blog post on Twilight-inspired Halloween costumes (and trust me: there's plenty of material out there), but I found myself distracted by the impressive number of awesome Twilight-themed goods available on the 'net:


Seriously—how can such talented and creative people like such a boring series? Where are the crazy t-shirts for Vivian Vande Velde or L.J. Smith?
