Comic Speech / Thought Buttons
With two different types of word baloons and one thought balloon, these little pin-able communication signifiers actually made pretty nice buttons once you take the content out and replace it with primary comics colors. These are a subtle way of saying “Yeah, I like comics, but I’m not a fashion clueless geek, ok?”

Diskette Notepads
How awesome would it be to carry around a notepad with diskettes as covers? Exeedingly.

Teal Capacitor Jewelry
Check out this very cool Teal Triple Capacitor Necklace created from real capacitors dangling at the end of a chain. There’s also matching Teal Capacitor Earrings to totally complete the look. Both of these and new models in other colors were some of the hottest items at GenArt’s Shop Chicago this past Wednesday.

Duct Tape Clutches
These pretty silver clutches are accented with strips of real duct tape. Choose from the sassy, angular Striped Duct Tape Clutch or the more classic, rectangular Duct Tape Starburst Clutch. We sold out of ALL of these at Girls’ Night Out within the first hour this Thursday but we’ll have more in stock in a few days.

And we’ve got tons of new stuff on the way! (Actually it’s all in our offices already, we’ve just got to add it to the site.)

We’re packing tons of our gear in boxes, slapping labels on NEW stuff that just came in (and isn’t even on the site yet!), and heading over to Union Station on Wednesday for Gen Art’s ShopCHICago. Want to check out the awesome new stuff we’re adding, in person? And browse through a ton of cool boutiques and designers, too?

From Gen Art: A one-of-a-kind retail opportunity bringing together 60+ of Chicago’s best emerging designers and boutiques. All under one roof! Dont miss this opportunity to buy clothing and accessories directly from the brightest designer talent Chicago has to offer.

And theres an open bar. Woo! (but you’ve gotta be 21+ in years)
