Gift to Self: Mad Men Mod Style

You don't have to be addicted to the AMC drama Mad Men to love the mod style from the sixties. (For those familiar with the show, we're specifically talking about Roger Sterling's white-on-white office complete with Op Art, new wife Megan Draper's simple-sexy wardrobe, and the Drapers' 1966 Upper East Side apartment.)

Here's a selection of mod-style accessories and home accents to pop a piece of sixties-era Madison Avenue into your personal style.

 Cornell Clock

Cornell Modern Wall Clock

Trick out your mid-century modern home office, den, or man-cave, with this clean, but clever wall clock by Pilot Designs. We're sure Don Draper would approve of the silver-on-walnut version on his grass-cloth wallpapered walls.

 Champagne Bubbles Necklace

You can inject a mod style into your everyday wardrobe with the right accessory. Try pairing this laser-cut aluminum, acrylic, and sterling silver necklace by DesignERica with simple neutral dress for a sixties-inspired look.

 Charcoal Cufflinks

Charcoal Cufflinks

If you agree the real trendsetter on Mad Men is Roger Sterling, then you'll love the smoldering effect  these Christine Bossler sterling silver cufflinks inlaid with sealed charcoal will have on your French cuffs. Hmm.

Moonlight Lamp

Moonlight Modern Table Lamp
 
The striking design of this table lamp by Pilot Designs would look right at home in a partner office at Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce. It comes in a variety of colors, but Roger would choose black and white.

Organic Hoop Earrings

Organic Hoop Earrings

On the Beatnik edge of Mod Mad Men style, these handmade hoops by My Sunset Road are what the fashion-forward Megan Draper would wear to the coffeehouse.
