Organize All of Time and Space

Doctor Who zipper coin purse by Erica Dietz

I recently stumbled across an article on using little zipper pouches to organize and keep your purse clutter free.  Well, naturally you would want to geekify that. How about this fantastic 11th Doctor Coin Purse?

Erica Dietz of 5 Little Monsters shared a writeup on The Geeky Mormon on how she adapted a bow zipper purse to subtly reference the 11th Doctor Who (Matt Smith, for non-Whovians), who thought bow ties were cool. Add some suspenders to a bow zipper pouch and you’re good!

Please note: unlike the TARDIS, the coin purse is not bigger on the inside, unfortunately. You’d need to hit up Hermione for a bag like that.

Now You Can Be A Wookie Too!

Erin from The Common Room, of Phoenix, AZ, has created the greatest seat belt cover I’ve ever seen! It’s based on Chewbacca’s ammo belt!

Attaching with velcro, this strap not only adds style but comfort! It can also be used on a messenger bag, guitar strap, back pack, or anything else you can think of with a strap!

It amazes me that it’s taken this long, since the first Star Wars movie, for someone to come up with an item like this one. Erin might very well be a genius! I just hope George Lucas doesn’t stop her from making these.

This post is mostly a targeted plea…

…to my husband regarding Christmas presents. Trev, seriously, I must have one of these. I can’t think of a more thoughtful gift for a stylish bibliophile (oh wait, there is one more, I’ll get it it next week.)

Karen H has an Etsy shop called Novel Creations with tons of great-looking purses made of book covers. I spent a bit of time pondering whether one should go for their hands-down very favorite book, or the one that looks best and goes with your wardrobe best. I think this cover of To Kill a Mockingbird might do both. I’m also pretty in love with the vintage Dracula one. I don’t know… I want most of these….

Ms. H. will assemble these with your choice of fastener and handles.

Subtle, Geek Style

Let’s face it. As much as we don’t care to admit it, there are times in our lives in which we just can’t let our Geek Flag fly without some sort of repercussions. Sometimes, we have to tone it down just a notch or two. This leaves the question of “How can we geek up our wardrobe without being totally obvious?”

This purse by StellarCheri is the perfect example!

I would feel more like Real Self if I could carry this bag with me to those many meetings at the school board that I attend. It’s stylish, not over the top, cool and classy all rolled up into one purse! Check out StellarCheri‘s other wonderful creations!
