When searching the word "library" on urban outfitters website five items will come up.None of them are to my particular taste but I felt that it was worth the mention.

For those of you out there who have a drawer full of old glasses you may consider donating them to the Give the Gift of Sight Foundation. Your old glasses will go to those who need them in developing countries.

The Sun Also Rises

I have no idea if this is meant to be how it looks to a bibliophile - I also don't care.

Sartorial Appreciation

Even the Sartorialist has included some bookish type looks.

The caption for this one reads how this look would not be complete or the same without the moleskin


Below are some of the looks that came up when I searched "Librarian"

Ukranian Book Fashion?

Designer Andre Tan must have a little book lust of his own creating something like this:

Fellow Book-Wormin' Bibliophile Blogger

The same day I was working on my post on bookworm fashion I came across the blog of a fellow fashion Bessie at tech same time making a mental note to make a post about her at a later time. The time is now. Meet the clothes horse.































Oddly enough this post mentions her recent Hitchcock fest when I myself recently spent days watching all three seasons of Alfred Hitchcock Presents and insuring I have indeed seen all of his movies.

Bookish Looks from Polyvore

Wearing Your Books on Your Pants Beats Your Heart on Your Sleeve

Here is my very own pair of Sergio Valente jeans featuring the first portion of Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen along with her silhouette.

If you are terribly fond of them contact me to make a pair for you or some other piece of literary clothing.





Recently finished:
Lolita Nabakov

Grossly different from the movie (or at least what I remember). The movie is incredibly tame and fails to show you the full weight of Humbert Humbert and Lolitas situation.

The Bell Jar
Plath

Some of you sadly only know this as the book read by sister Kat in 10 Things I hate about you (if this is the case shame on you go read taming of the shrew!!!).
I was truly blown away by this book. At the start I was unaware that this is only semi autobiographic.
Definitely a new favourite for me.

Robert Frost Poetry Tattoo

Well, if you want a Robert Frost poetry tattoo, now you know where to get one:

There really is something very apt about picking this poem. But are there any poets out there using their own skin as a notebook? Would be kind of cool...

BraceYourselves

After reading The Essential Anais Nin - I fell in love. I went to the library and got every book I could. Sadly, for the bibliophile - enough is never enough. So I searched the internet for some other goody and came across a blog featuring a picture of a resin bracelet meant in tribute to Anais Nin. It sold out late 2007 tho. Not one to be discouraged I contacted the maker and lo and behold - there is ONE LEFT that is not listed - and yes - I made it mine!

You too can find a resin bracelet made in homage to a book - this time not Anais Nin but Lolita.

LOLITA Bracelet

Description

Lolita, light of my life, fire of my loins. My sin, my soul. Lo-lee-ta: the tip of the tongue taking a trip of three steps down the palate to tap, at three, on the teeth. Lo. Lee. Ta. by Vladimir Nabakov Beautifull bracelet made of high quality clear resin. Desin for this bracelet was inspired by Vladimir Nabakov book "lolita'. The bracelet is 2,45 inches (6.2 cm) wide on the inside My resin bracelets are hand made by myself from the very beginning when the project forms to the very end when I polish each ingredient separately.All this long process makes each of my work very unique and personal. Most of the bracelets have some decorative elements embedded inside, however some versions come in one, clear colour. These bracelets are very unique - they come in either one exceptional piece, or in the limited series of few. Because each bracelet is individually made by hand, there are no two exactly same pieces! One can be sure they would have a truly unique piece on their wrist!

I am so VERY VERY tempted to have two now ;)

Charming

I have a thing for charm bracelets and I know I cannot be the only one out there. Show your love with bookworm charms.
