in preparation for our Nerd themed party this coming Friday, i thought i would post a few of my favorite nerdy trends….
nerd glasses. that one is a given. i've been obsessed with them all year. we have tons in our shop. i love them all, vintage or new!
(vintage frames found here.)
and this dress is perfection.
love this one lots too!
and every nerdy girl needs a big plaid bow.
oh, and a magical bike with basket gets bonus points….
Hope you've enjoyed my guide to cute nerdiness! XO
happy Tuesday! Elsie

Loving that bike… I’m still looking for a pretty basket for mine =)
Love it. I too think all nerds have a vintage typewriter. I just found the prettiest one from the 1920s for a whole $1.50 at my local thrift store. I about died!
i need that bike in my life. where is it from? i’ve been looking for a cute bike for so long now!!
loving all the nerd fashion…wish i lived closer so i could attend the awesome nerd party. =P
You are having WAY too much fun. It doesn’t really look like work. 🙂
Nice to see someone so happy at what they do..and appreciate it. Keep up the happy posts and inspiration.
too cute! i’m a nerd too! sad i’ll miss the nerd party –
miss you!
xo.
LOVE this post! 🙂 Especially the dresses and the shoes!
i love that lately, geeks have been chic!! too bad it wasn’t like that in high school for me :). thanks for sharing…love, LOVE the bike and shoes. have a great evening!
love the bike! i would totally get one… except there’s really no place to ride too where i live. : ( oh well…. i can dream about it right…!?
Love that print!
I know you are crazy super busy being totally creative and altogether awesome but, I was wondering about the tattoo designs you talked about a few weeks ago. Did I miss them? I’m anxious to see…
awesome post and LOVE your blog. also, so in love with your paintings, i might collapse!
loving that pink bike & typewriter!
hey hey.
i’m still doing the tattoos. actually, i just need to color them in photoshop. i understand that people are anxious about that. i promise i am doing my best to make time for it! thanks for being patient.
the bike was just from a google search. like “bike with basket” or something. i don’t actually know where or if it’s available to buy.
XOXO. els
The picture of the bike is taken in amsterdam in front of a great second hand store. It is just your typical bike they sell here.Best ones are found here: http://www.fietsfabriek.nl
Everyone is just always painting their bikes for fun but also bikes get stolen non-stop so you make it recognizable so changes are a day after you seem someone else bike around on it and you can try to get it back or just be very irritated for the rest of the day:-) I had 2 bikes stolen in one week. Usually you can find them back at the bottom of a canal!
So much fun! I think you may have inspired our family picture wardrobe!
we have those bikes here in germany, too 😀 they’re called “hollandrad”, and from the name you can tell they are from the netherlands 😀 oh, and they are so so comfortable and many people here paint them in different colours. mine was red but i’m looking forward painting my new (actually “old” – i bought it used) bright and dark blue. who knows? 🙂
but very cute finds, and i LOVE the fact that my perler beard is up here <3
I consider myself more of a geek than a nerd. That comes from knowing HTML code. 🙂 Love this post.
lovely collection Elsie! the glasses are great and I really love them, but it doesn’t fit to my face, grrr … :///
have a great day, <3
this post is TOO cute.
how sad, you have posted my entire life and brought to light how much of a nerd I am.
dont forget retainers.
oh so cute!! wish i could come to your lovely nerdy party!!!!
LOVE those typewriters! If you like cartoons once in a while, my daughter uploaded some episodes of The Mighty B to her ipod. Sooper funny! I think we watched about 4 in a row b/c we were laughing so hard. She’s quite the nerd. (My Daughter has also decided to dress up like her for Halloween… no I gotta find – or make – the girl guide costume.)
I love EVERYTHING in your adorable guide. Guess that makes me a nerd, huh?
Looove the Lauren Gregg print. Dawn Weiner was one of the greatest nerdy birds. I think I neeeed those shoes! Thank you for sharing, as always.
So many cute stuff, I like the pink typewriter the most and the bike!!
THIS POST IS A-DORK-ABLE! 🙂
Since all of these things are somewhat of a trend, they are not necessarily nerdy anymore as much as fashionable, eh?
I think nerdy will always be actually smart and techy, rather than the appearance of.
I love love love that bike!!
oh cool!! I love the vintage pink frames you have in your shop… I wonder if they would fit my face… I need them!!!
The Lauren Gregg print is so great! I just love Welcome to the Dollhouse! Her other prints are also pretty nerdy! I love her knitting nerd the most!
So cute! Love it all.
Super nerdy fabulous and cute!~
A big Weiner Dog shoutout tat that Lauren Gregg print! Oh oh! I have one of those valenites, by the way. Perfect condition, too! Sweeeeeet!
If you have not heard “Nerd Girl” by MC Chris, go to YouTube and check it out. You’ll LOVE it!

Great content and it’s so helpful for me. But it’s so weird that your blog is in a mess through my explorer. Is that my explorer problem? But it’s pretty normal when exploring other blogs.
wow. it is unbelievable. I love it so much . Thanks for your sharing. cool .great. I sure I’ll come back soon.
Totally nerdy! Way back, I thought looking like a nerd is not-so-cool. But amazingly, you can still look pretty even with those chunky glasses on! You just have to carry and dress yourself up well. ^0^
The CUTENESS! Nerd glasses are actually my personal favorite. My girlfriend and I have 5 pairs of those, and we have a lot of fun wearing different kinds of nerd glasses! =D
