A stroll through Forever 21 boutiques reveal baskets, upon racks, upon displays chock full of cute accessories that are as adorable and versatile as they are affordable. Just in stock for the busiest season of the year is the result of the brand’s most recent partnership with the United Nations World Food Program.

Beginning today you can find an array of these colorful, beaded $5 bracelets that are hand-made in Guatemala. The trendy wrist wear is part of Forever 21’s charitable participation in helping world hunger.

Children from all over the world go to bed hungry every night and Forever 21 knows they can help. The six colors of  the bracelets represent a different country: Swaziland, Kenya, Sri Lanka, Honduras, Haiti and Pakistan. The sale of one bracelet sends two meals to children suffering from hunger in those countries. {Fab Sugar}

The perfect stocking stuffer for you or someone you love and a warm meal for a child in need. What more could you ask for?

Not your average suspenders

Apparently there exists – and has for quite some time now – a contraption that clips your shirt to your socks and is worn underneath pants to keep those pesky shirttails from popping out when you bend over or stand up after sitting. {The Cut} Armynavyshop sells these special suspenders, calling them Military Uniform Shirt Stays, in both clip-on and stirrup form. And theyâ€re cheap! The clip-on style runs for $5.31, whereas the stirrup version is $8.10.

T Magazine published news of these shirt garters after catching up with Maloney, who said he recommends them to other bartenders all the time.

“To explain how necessary I think they are, I will laugh and point at the shirt pooch that forms between the waist of the pants and the bottom of the vest of the guys who donâ€t wear them,” he said.

He did, however, also admit to several downsides to these internal suspenders, saying, “They are fussy and annoying. They detach and leak out your pant leg at the most inopportune time. If ratcheted too tight, you feel like a dandy Pinocchio, slightly drunk and walking on the moon. Worst of all, they get you singled out in security lines at the airport. To this day there hasnâ€t been a T.S.A. employee who hasnâ€t raised an eyebrow when I explain about the shirt garters.”

Well, Toby, you could always just secure an airport pasty to your private parts and head to one of the full-body scanners to avoid that last little problem.

We have to admit shirttail suspenders is a pretty practical – if obvious and silly – idea. We just wonder if it might get awkward in an intimate situation – like if, say, a woman were to wear Spanx or a chicken cutlet bra on a hot date. In any case, we’re interested to see if these man-garters turn out to be a full-blown trend.

The wristwatch is a timeless accessory that comes in so many different styles it has the ability to compliment an outfit for any occasion. When we saw the new set of designer watches from Timex, it was clear the vibrant, chunky and durable pieces are for the sportier side of life. The Ironman collection is aptly named with a water and shock resistant casing, 30-lap memory and easy, quick lap recall features. Available in six colors, there’s sure to be one for every adventurous lifestyle – even if that adventure is just of the daily city variety.

Everyone can agree that times have been tough this year. The new line of accessories by Kali Arulprgasam’s  ‘Cra$h’ Collection for Spring/Summer 2010 has been released as a true testament to this hellish financial year as it comes to a much-anticipated end. Not your typical shiny jeweled accents, as his lineup takes on a more basic premise of the paradox between capturing beauty  in the Crash collection with pie charts, graphs and bleak statistics in pave- set lustrous stones and colorful enamel to tackle the current economic state of affairs with a bit of irony. We’re not sure which celebrity will be first to push economic messages through bling, but it is intriguing that each piece displays the messages we should all be focusing on.

Take a peek at the new nerd-chic shades from Dita and Neighborhood, now available online at honeyee — but unfortunately for the Japanese domestic market only.  We hope these babies are available in the US sometime soon, because we would love to see these on our man paired with a perfectly worn-in button-down and a superhero smile.
