FASHION TIPS FROM COMIC STRIPS

Eyewear designers Warby Parker released two new pairs of frames in collaboration with the upcoming release of Man of Steel (June 14th, 2013). With subtle red/blue detailing on the temples, these bold frames are fit for both men and women who are looking to add a little Daily Planet to their specs at $95 each (including prescription lenses).

Furthermore, $15 from each $95 purchase will be donated to 826NYC, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting students ages 6-18 with their writing skills.

Green Lantern gloves, by Karl Lagerfeld
[Colette x DC Comics’ 75th Anniversary Collection]

These rhinestone-adorned fingerless gloves are a loose, high-end interpretation of Green Lantern’s power ring. This look could easily be replicated with a little DIY with some rhinestones and a pair of pleather wrist-length gloves.

Batman Bow Tie | Superman Bow Tie | Superboy Bow Tie
$9.50 each @ Hot Topic

I would totes wear these as bow tie chokers.

Pow Comic Tights & Black Comic Sogan Tights , $16-18 per pair, Topshop

For those of you who want to incorporate sound fx into your wardrobe (but shy away from loud prints), these sheer tights from Topshop are a more subtle approach to wearable onomatopoeia.

I’m making TOTE BAGS for TCAF and MeCAF this year! Holy crow!!!

I’m hoping to have a similar design available through Topatoco sometime in the near future, but I’m having these done by a local company (managed by a former employee of my comic shop, which is kind of perfect) so they’ll be real on time for May!

COOL

This purse is a must-buy for 2013 ♡
