About your wardrobe and personal style

for Maya (and any other design/graphics/typography nerds out there)...

maya, i just read your comment on the jc penney thread that "helvetica is a classic," and i couldn't agree more... but this made me think of these, which i think you may like :)

Oh Hanna I didn't know you were a fellow nerd! Yay! I feel like we have a new bond or something.

Those kern rings are AMAZING.

I will ad to that list this scarf, which I have wanted for ages:

And for that special nerdy man in your life, ampersand cufflinks!

Maya, that Uppercase scarf has been on my wishlist for ages! I saw it on one of those list maker thingamajiggy websites (kaboodle or wists or something). If you're interested or don't already know this is a blog I've been following for well over a year. She's very talented and a huge font nerd.

hanna, LOVE the kern rings!

oh, and maya -- my major is actually journalism, but i absolutely love graphic design and type and worked on that on the side. and then somehow i fell into a job that allows me to both write and design! lucky me.

also, whatever i'm a nerd for, i love finding quirky accessories for. case in point: type, scrabble, ninjas, pandas... :P

KILLER scarf. I adore geometric patterns like that. Looks a little Chanel-esque, which makes me love it more.

You have to see the Helvetica movie.

I have seen it Angie :) The scarf is by far my most coveted accessory right now but it is a bit pricey unfortunately.

Hanna, I'm a Scrabble freak too. I think the only reason I have a FB account anymore is to play Lexulous.

I have an obsession with ampersands. They are my favorite typographic symbol which is why I am so into those cufflinks. I think I will have to find some ampersand accessories. I really love this thread :p

Whoa, ampersand necklaces! Those are great.

I love the necklaces and scarves! You ladies are great; I learn something cool about you guys every day. I am a wannabe graphic designer (I have a certificate in graphic communication) and love all things typography related!

Oooh the first and last ampersands look like Caslon 540 italic!

Lest you were uncertain of the extent of my nerdiness...

Whoa! What an interesting thread this is. At first I passed right over it but when I came back to it and clicked on some of the links that you ladies shared I found out there is a very interesting world out there.
Thanks for sharing.
