The Lego Baseplate Shirt. Nerds are so entertaining. We are always waiting to see what they will come up with next to engage all those brain cells and curiosity. The Lego baseplate shirt is just such a form of entertainment, giving you a platform to display your construction genius, something to pass the time when you're caught waiting somewhere, and a great opportunity to make a little fashion statement.

The VW Motorcycle Sidecar. We have a little soft spot for VWs, so it's easy to understand why having an itty bitty VW van likeness as your motorcycle sidecar seems like the greatest thing, ever. Cruise around with your stuff packed into the wagon, but still be compact enough to park in those just-need-two-more-feet city spaces. More»
Unilens Sunglasses by Martin Margiela. The answer to your endless brainstorming about that perfect front row ensemble! Sunglasses at Fashion Week is, for some people, de rigueur. If you're included in this group, work it with something no one's got their hands on and maybe all eyes will be on you, and not the runway.
The Notepod. You'd think more iPhone or iPod stuff would be overkill, but maybe our devotion is how parents feel about their children: there's always room on the mantle for one more picture! The Notepod is a note pad resembling your favorite accessory, so you can jot down important thoughts on the fly in something that is adorable. More»
The Sofa Dress by maezm. It's important to step up your sartorial cred during fashion week, even if you are a chair. The sofa dress is great not only because it looks totally hip, but has the practical value of making those cheap seats you bought at a garage sale more comfortable. The dressing up will add a little je-ne-sais-quoi to your apartment, so guests will see that the meager salary you slave away to earn hasn't put a cramp on your effortless sense of style. More»
The Peace Keeper Bag. Fashion Week makes for some mean streets, what with all those skinny girls rushing around, phones and coffee blazing. You need to protect yourself, which is why this peace keeper bag is a great discovery. Not only will people jealousy eyeball the new, unique look, but the handle doubles as brass knuckles, should you need to open a can of whoop *ss while trying to get to your seat at the tents.
The Origami Burger. The only thing more stressful than deciding what to wear to your Fashion Week events is figuring out how to avoid all those annoying meals! Simko found this adorable origami burger because she thought it was cute, coincidentally solving all our problems! Getting flack from the CFDA for boney models? But darling, I gave them all burgers an hour ago, and they loved them!
The Clutch Chair. It's made out of 10,000 colorful drinking straws. Zaha Hadid, who brought the Chanel Mobile Art Exhibit to Central Park a while back, chose this as her Curator's Choice at the Noise Festival last year. It's an exploratory research piece commenting on our "disposable culture." Oh, and it also looks seriously cool. More»
The Nintendo Coffee Table. Is this not amazing? Nintendo was the best. Remember the Power Pad? Duck Hunt? I don't like to brag, but I used to be able to pass the entire game of Duck Tales, and I don't care if you think that was an easy game. I still beat it. Ha! Anyway, this great source of nostalgia is right in there with the current retro trend, so enjoy the reminiscing while looking every bit the cool cat.
The Fishbowl Lightbulb. So many of us try and make our apartments stand out in the sea of oppresive New York real estate. You've almost got to convey personality per square foot, since it's more than common to not have a ton of room. This lightbulb as fishbowl is the perfect start to reflecting NYC eclectic in your living space. Because who would think that the bulb can function as both art and habitat? It's creative and resourceful. We always thought fun with lightbulbs stopped at, you know, providing light.
The War Bowl. Simko spotted this cool bowl, where the artist juxtaposes childhood nostalgia with the horrors of war. It's whimsical, but gets you thinking. If you are feeling creative, avoid trying to reconstruct the piece, yourself. We thought we'd surprise Stanley by throwing his toy soldier collection into a frying pan, with a very different result. A smoky one. And Stanley has locked himself in his room. I guess he was really attached to those little guys.
