This Middle Earth dress is probably one of the loveliest Lord of the Rings-inspired outfits

You can even pair it with these Lord of the Rings earrings.

A Tumblr devoted to recreating Claudia Kishi’s outfits from The Baby-Sitters’ Club?

Wear Your Bookish Heart on Your Sleeve

A bracelet made from the spine of Lois Lowry’s A Summer to Die? So cool.

Magic Industrie has lots of other great book spine bracelets, magic wallets, and buttons. A couple of others I dig are the Shakespeare bracelet, the Stars in Their Courses braclet, and the Rider wallet.

Because you can’t have enough book-related accessories, right?

Thanks to Fête for the heads up on this awesome shop!

This list stretches the term YA, but I was kind of glad to see that Mallory of the BSC got a fashionable shoutout.

Just because you’re the awkward girl in sixth grade who’s really into reading doesn’t mean you can’t grow up to be hip in your Warby Parker glasses. (Thanks to Lindsey for the link!)
