Fashion + Accessories

A future world I envision involves zipping around on hovercrafts, seeing holographic billboards and never having to carry a purse or wallet. (Fine, my futuristic images were greatly informed by Back to the Future ). We're probably not at…

The best thing that could have happened to the resurgence of the fingerless glove phenomenon is (no, not a Madonna comeback) the popularity of touch screen tablets and phones. There's nothing worse than having to remove a glove in sub-ze…

It used to be that the words "geeky jewelry" conjured up some sort of computer motherboard earrings in my head and if you wanted to find the truly cool stuff, you really had to search around. So it's nice to see tech-inspired pieces hitt…

Ever on the lookout for smart girl t-shirts that remind the world that our daughters have loftier ambitions than gossip, hair braiding, and making out with their Justin Bieber pillow cases, I was delighted to come across this awesome tee…

Part of me is a little embarrassed at how many hours I spent playing Tetris. The other part of me wishes I could still just sit back in a bean bag chair and flip and drop shapes in the quiet of my college dorm. Since that won't be happen…

It's not often that you're floored by Fluorine--unless you're into corrosive gas. (Which does sound a little like my dad... heh.) But if your dad loves the periodic table, this gift might just be element-ary. Geek dads will firmly approv…

If you've got a thing for retro audio motifs like I do, I think you'll get a kick out of this Etsy shop that also has a heart for boom boxes, turntables, and other relics of the pre-MP3 era. Brooklyn's Abreaka Studios offers a line of ha…

You might be the type of mom, like me, who loves the idea of mom jewelry but with a bit more of a subtle twist. That's why I am still coveting the binary cuff from Karla Wheeler and now, this equally beautiful binary code pendant that le…

I have a thing for geek fashion. Ever since I bought my first Twitter necklace . (It says #fail. Heh.) So while I am not a big fan of actual emoticons, I do sort of love seeing them on these rings. The sterling emoticon ring is so subtle…

Oh how I remember those floppy disk days before the cloud took over. You know, when all our precious data (or a few paltry megabytes of it) was backed up these squares which we stashed in neat little piles with color-coded labels. Hey, a…

If you like to let your nerd flag fly proudly (says the girl with a Hello Kitty Boba Fett on her car), then you're going to love these LOLrific Nerd Merit Badges we just found. Bonus? You don't have to sell any cookies or build a fire in…

It's freezing outside, and you want to use your Smartphone to tweet about how incredibly freezing it is outside, but to do that you'd need to remove your warm gloves. Drat. If only there were a way to keep your hands warm and use a touch…

Hey Apple Store, I've got a bone to pick with you. I was browsing through your laptop cases at your 14th Street store and let's just say I, and the two other women staring blankly at the unimpressive display, left empty-handed. If you wo…

Previously posted at Cool Mom Picks I shrieked with joy when friend of Cool Mom Picks and kids band The Jimmies lead singer Ashley Albert turned us onto her new collaborative project with Phoebe Jonas, Survival of the Hippest . And by hi…

If I saw this bracelet, I would pick it up. I would put it on. I would feel totally tough, like a punk rock princess. And then, when I realized its brilliant geek-chic secret, I would be even more excited. Because it's so much more than …

In every Cool Mom Picks monthly newsletter , we highlight our favorite quirky holidays of the month. (Hey, sometimes any excuse to shop, right?) And now here's one our tech fans can get behind too: Embrace Your Geekiness Day. Yes, it's a…

For centuries, people have used lockets to store personal items from paintings to photographs to the hair of dead people (ew!). Now, thanks to a creative mix of art and technology, we've found a locket that can store about 800 photos. Or…

We here at Cool Mom Tech have always appreciated stylish tech. And designers have certainly been catching on, if you look back at the Juicy Couture USB bracelet we featured way back when, along with the ever-growing number of top designe…

With the trend of wearable tech becoming enormous this year, I've had my eye on all the new wearable tech gadgets that keep popping up. I mean, what self-respecting geek hasn't? But one thing missing has been Apple's contribution, which …
