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 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

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 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

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.

Handmade Keepsakes: Gifts for Bridesmaids

Take a moment to consider your good friend, your best friend, your bridesmaid.

She makes you laugh when you feel like crying. When you're a bundle of nerves, she steers you straight. She would do anything for you--she'd give you the bobby pin out of her chignon.

Show your bridesmaid your appreciation with a handmade keepsake, a gift as precious and special as she is dear to you.



Mehndi Necklace
Inspired by the henna designs worn by brides and their attendants in India, the Mehndi Necklace by My Sunset Road is a virtual dewdrop of femininity.



Lavender Twist Ring
Remind her of your friendship with this sweet sterling-rope ring by Kathleen Bostick. This delicate handmade ring sparkles on its own but also stacks well with other rings.



Small Hammered Hoops with Tourmalated Quartz Drops
Sure to be her lucky earrings, these handmade hoops by Sarah Hood feature tourmalated quartz drops. A combo of quartz and tourmaline, these gemstones purportedly support clear, balanced thinking.



Flowering Tree Print
Long after her bridesmaid bouquet has dried, these spring blossoms will ever bloom. Measuring 8x10 inches unframed, this print from an original photograph-collage painting by Jennifer Z. Roszell may contain bits of sheet music, handwritten letters, and other unique collage material.
