There's a sale going on at Busted TeesB right now. Get all the tees at $13.99 as long as you use the code "HUMMUS." The sale ends Friday at midnight, so get over there soon.
The good people over at Teetonic were nice enough to send us a tee for review. Teetonic is a site very similar to Threadless in that you are able to rate the designs and comment on them. They seem to have one competition going on at a time, each with a distinct theme. The time that they are in the competition is about a month. And you can certainly submit your design to them as well.
We chose to review Night Owl in black because of our current Owl obsession. The shirts came in a nice, plastic folder with a snap closure and the Teetonic logo going across it. For the pack rats out there, it's totally something you could use as a folder. A sticker with the logo also came in the folder.
We really like the shirt right off the bat. The design is cute (of course, would we say anything bad about owls right now?). It's nice to see a V-neck in a t-shirt, that is so rare. And we really like the fit. We aren't sure who makes the actual tees, but they are a little more true to size than American Apparel and a little less tight on the hips, in case that is important to you. It's also a little stretchy and very comfortable. This tee will definitely be going into the Shirt Snob's tee rotation.
The one thing about Teetonic is that the are located in Scotland. So their prices reflect this a bit. Each one is 20 pounds. We personally have very little idea how much that is in USD, but we do know that they ship to the US. We aren't too sure how much it costs to ship over here or anywhere else, you'll have to ask them that. Or just put it on your credit card and hope for the best!
Each women's tee, unless otherwise stated, is mostly cotton (5% lycra) and a V-neck.
Currently, they only have four women's tees available, but more will be coming in the following weeks.
Soon the Shirt Snob's business partner will have a review of a men's tee from Teetonic, since we figure all of our readers must have men in their lives who they need to buy presents for at some point. Look for that in the next few days!
Now that it's almost August, it's time to start thinking about Fall and that means sweaters! Here's one that we really like, the Hand Knit Cable Car Coat by adam eve. This sweater is hand knit as the name says. It has cables running down it, ribbed banding at the cuffs and edges, and a shawl collar. It's also made of an alpaca and wool mix, and it comes in black and taupe. Now, the Shirt Snob is a bit of a knitter, so we know that this would take a long time to make by hand. We don't think the pattern looks very easy. Therefore, we feel this sweater is really worth it's price more than most tops we show.
Today we are combining our normal shirt post with our Accessory Friday post. We recently discovered Lucha Workshop, and we really like their stuff. Their tees come in both a unisex and a women's variety as well as in different colors. All the tees are also hand-screened on American Apparel tees. Some of our favorites include Cloe, Heart, Stars, and Minty. They also have a really funny blog you might want to look at.
Lucha Workship also sells handmade bags. Some of the designs are the same as their t-shirt designs, while others are exclusively for the bags. The Shirt Snob's favorite ones include the Bunny bag, the Spinky bag, the Bluebird Bag, and the Pink Cloud Wallet. Also, if you like something a little weirder, check out their plush bags.
It's been a while since we showed you anything from ingwa; melero, so let's change that. The Zaragoza Top is 100% silk and lined, with a V-neck, spaghetti strap halter that crosses in the back, and an empire waist with ruching. The body blousing out from there. The bust and a panel below the waist has a beautiful floral patterned embroidery. Four button closures are at the back. Comes in three colors, coral, white, and blush. If you like this top, you may also like the Zaragoza Halter Dress, which is actually on sale!
This next top definitely can't be pulled off by just anyone, but it's so cute and girly that we hope some of you will try. The Lace Trimmed Doll Halter by Cynthia Steffe has a halter top neck with two straps going down it to the body in the back. There is tulle-ruffles and lace along the bust, and the neck and straps are woven with silk ribbons. The back is smocked and there's a large ruffle at the bottom. It comes in two colors, peach blossom and tea.
This next top sort of reminds us of our grandmother's couch, and for some reason it's a good thing. The Silk Checkered Top by Yumi Kim has a sweetheart neckline, an empire waist with a drawstring that ties in the front, four buttons that go down the chest, thick straps, and a flowing body. Then there's the pattern, a checkering of blue and other colors with flowers on top, with solid blue panel at the bottom. We think this would be a fun one to wear with your jeans.
Finally, our last Free People shirt of the day, the Pleated Bib Top. This blouse is semi-sheer slubbed voile (the site explains what this is for those of you who are curious) with antiqued buttons that run down the front, raw edges at the waist, and split cuffs. It has a tuxedo bib that runs down to the middle of the top, giving it a slightly more formal appeal. It comes in three colors, green, tea, and black.
Next up by Free People: the Pointelle Kimono Hoodie. This sweater has a wide ribbed waistband, wide 3/4 length sleeves, a hood, and antiqued copper buttons that go up the V-neck to where the hood begins. The stitches are large, so you should wear something underneath this. It'd be great to throw over your shirts for the fall. Comes in three colors, ivory, purple melange, and chai.
Today will be Free People day because that's what we're in the mood for. First is the V Wrap Flowy Tunic. Made of a wool blend, this top is roomy and comfy. It has a V-neck, a billoy waist that ends at the upper thigh, long sleeves, and ruching at the neck and upper back. Banding goes along the neck, wraps around the back and can eventually be tied in the front at the waist. It comes in both grape and black and would look really cute with a print tank underneath, as shown in the picture.
We thought the summer sale at Pink Mascara ended earlier this month, but it seems to be still going on. You can get 30-70% off a bunch of stuff (such as the Sunset Halter by Lauren Moffatt we wrote about last March) , and they've just added more items.
Although you probably wouldn't realize it, the Shirt Snob just loves hoodies. We think they are the cutest things ever. So when we discovered this one, the Butterfly Thermal with Hood by Grail, we decided we had to show it to our readers. Made of 100% cotton, this top has a split V-neck, pouch pocket, banding at the neck and pocket, and surged edges at the bottom hem and sleeves. There is a large butterfly on the upper right shoulder in the back and paint splatter detail on the lower left side. We think this would be a fun top to wear as the weather starts to get a little cooler.
Shirt Fight! is another new t-shirt site. They just launched this month with 12 tees. Some are a bit dirty, so the Shirt Snob would probably not wear them. But others are just plain funny. We think this site would work really well with the college crowd (which we still pretend we are a part of, refusing to believe we are aging at all). The main page is really cute too, with all the designs shown on the shirt of a large cartoon man. All the shirts are printed on American Apparel and are silkscreened. They will continue to add more designs, so keep going and seeing what they have.
Happy Friday! Today for Accessory Friday, we are going to look at the purses from Queen Bee Creations. As all our faithful readers know, the Shirt Snob certainly has a love for bags. These ones are definitely ones that we really want. There are four bags, the Poppy Tote, the Poppy Truckette, the Queen Bee Coin Purse, and the Twig Diaper Tote (which we're sure you all know by now can be used by anyone who needs a bag with a lot of pockets). They are all made of waterproof vinyl, and they are all handmade. All of these bags are available at Elsewares, an independent art and design shop that has loads are great shirts, accessories, and more. For other great designs by Queen Bee, they have a website as well.
There's a sale at Willow 506 right now on Juicy Couture. You can get 30% off all Juicy by using the code "Juicy Deal." If you're a Juicy fan, now's the time to stock up. Free shipping on all orders over $150 too!
What the hell, let's just make the rest of the week t-shirt week. After all, there's a bunch more websites we want to tell you about. Last week we got bombarded with all these new places. This one, 19-23, is probably our favorite, just because it's artsy and yet not too weird for our tastes. We really love every single one we see. They sell both mens and womens tees. Our favorites are probably Golden Bird, Greener, and Deja Vu. Almost all the shirts come in two colors as well. Each shirt has a message on the inside which basically has the company's philoophy. Pretty neat if you ask us!
The world is now overflowing with new t-shirt companies. As we discover them, we let you know about them. Today we found out about Owl Movement. Right off the bat we like them because of their name. Unfortunately, there aren't a ton of women's tees (you have to click on each shirt to see what is in stock), and some of their designs are not quite our taste (we're a little afraid of the skull one), but some are cute and funny. We can't link to individual tees, so you have to go yourself to check them out. We think they come out with new stuff every few weeks though, each time with a different theme, so keep looking to see what's new.
There are new tees at Oddica right now. We really like Karma, Ghost Cameras, and Sheltered 2 (which seems to be the same as the other Sheltered, but in a different color) the best. They are also still having the sale where you save more the more tees you buy. One is $20, two are $30, and three or more $14 each. We think that's a pretty good deal, consider stocking up for future birthdays or for holiday presents!
There's another sale going on at Shop Rapunzels. Get 20% off all merchandise by using the code "July06." This sale ends on July 31st, so make sure to get over there before then!
We just found out about Individualtee, a site that allows you to choose the style of the shirt as well as the color before choosing from one of their many designs. Basically, you choose the shirt unlike other sites that decide the color and style for you. You can even decide some of the colors in the design. If you enjoy being creative but don't want to actually come up with a design yourself, this is a great place to shop. They are constantly coming up with new designs so if you don't like what you see (which we doubt), you can go back and choose from new ones. Also, this site sells to a variety of different countries, so if you aren't from the US, you can still easily enjoy this site. Our favorite design is definitely Ink Cloud, as shown above.
The Shirt Snob can't get enough of this next blouse. It easily could have looked like drapes in the hands of the inexperienced, but because it was made by Foley + Corinna, it's just elegant. The Sandra's Silk Jersey Top is made of 100% silk. It has a wide, cowl neck, a slit under the sash, cap sleeves, and ruching at the shoulders, side, and sash. It also comes in four colors: brick, indigo, taupe, and black. If you like this top you may also like the Sandra Silk Jersey Dress.
Lately, the Shirt Snob has really been into Rachel Pally. She makes a lot of really cute tops. This one, the Prairie Top, is no exception. The jersey shirt has short sleeves, unfinished edges, a V-neck, and drawstrings at the neck and sleeves. It comes in five colors, nude, moss, cream, black, and heather. The obi comes separately. Also made by Pally, it come in prints as well as in cream, blush, pool, grass, kryptonite, watermelon, and heather. You can also buy the metal belt as well.
Trina Turk is having a sale as well. Get 40% off the Spring and Summer merchandise (50% in the store). It starts on Wednesday the 19th and goes until August 6th.
Happy Monday everyone! Over the weekend, we really wanted a striped top, so we went looking for some. Here's a few of the options out there if you like stripes too. We found a bunch from C&C California, and the prices are great so you can get a few of each. First up is the Chain Gang Stripe Classic Tank with skinny stripes and spaghetti straps and comes in 3 different color patterns (mozart/walmont, absynth/slipper, and steeple/mudslide), the Rebel Bold Stripe Top with a wide neck, short sleeves, and elastic banding at the bottom hem and has white strips with black, poppy, battlefield, madame, absynth, steeple, and mozart. The Wrangler Bold Stripe Tee is a fitted, short sleeved top, and again has white striped paired with black, poppy, battlefield, madame, mozart, and steeple. Finally, there is the Classic Bold Stripe Tank, which is fitted and semi-sheer. This tank comes in black, poppy, battlefield, madame, mozart, absynth, and steeple with white stripes.
Diane von Furstenberg has yet another wrap that we just adore. The Revolution Top ties at the waist with the ties ending mid-calf. There are also flap pockets on the chest, button tab detailing at the rolled cuffs and shoulders, and sleeves that go to the elbows. It comes in two colors, chocolate and navy. We think this would be a great one for the fall.

We really like this next top, the Cotton Lawn Cami by James Perse. It's simple and pretty, and sometimes we like our shirts that way. Made of 100% cotton, this cami is semi-sheer with ruching at the bust, eyelet detailing at the empire waist and bottom hem, and a drawstring at the waist that ties in the front. The spaghetti straps are adjustable as well. Comes in five colors, pale linen, kiss, swan, abyss, and white.
It was almost a year ago that we wrote about Hardboiled, and we still love their tees. Therefore, we wanted to remind you all about them. They are still selling the tops we wrote about then, such as the Bamboo Tee, and they have a bunch of others that we really like, including the Corsage T-Shirt, the Bee T-shirt, the Flower Swirl T-Shirt, and the Vines T-Shirt. The shirts all come in scoop neck, cap sleeve, and 3/4 length sleeve (for $6 more) versions. They've also raised their prices by $2, but $29 is still a great deal if you ask us. These tees are very cute, very artistic, and they are so easy to pair with jeans for a laid-back yet still put together look. We want these tees more than any other right now!
The Shirt Snob must admit that we don't normally like tuxedo styled tops normally. They are just too masculine for our taste. However, here is one that we can't stop looking at, probably because it's pink. The Tuxedo Shirt by adam+eve is a sheer silk blouse. It has frayed ruffle detail at the front, 7 buttons down the front, and a single button at each cuff. It is long sleeved, has a collar, and a silk camisole is underneath. If you are looking for something dressy and a little daring, maybe try this top this fall. Comes in black as well as pink.
