Grab some Legos and build your ego.

lego

Sure, Legos have been out for decades, satiating future architects, Star Wars geeks, and children under the age of 12. But who would have ever thought that Legos would come back in a vengeful way, chic, and wearable way? Gone were the days when Lego was just a brand of building blocks in a preschool setting. Today, the brand has transformed into an in-demand brand that is now tantalizing everyone from young hipsters to sophisticated buyers in the fashion world.

Tip: If some products are too expensive and you need to painfully lego, just remember—they’re Legos. You can probably build many of these products by yourself. Be creative! Or if the creative gods have failed you, pay that little cousin of yours to build you one.

These hot accessories sold off the shelves and were seen on celebrities like Kanye West and are gaining more heat in 2009 when they were featured in Dec. 2008’s GQ.

Contrast the belt with a suit or a dress, and wear the brooch with a casual flannel to add an added boost to your wardrobe. Brooch- $65; Belt- $75
