Waterloo
The Shirt Snob is just blown away that we haven't written about this next t-shirt company yet. Waterloo wants you "to have unique retro, vintage designs of cool rock bands, classic movies, cartoons, with the exclusive Waterloo style." Sounds pretty good to us! We really like that each design is available for both men and women, some even in a tank variety. Our favorites are Led Zeppelin, Willy Wonka, and their logo tee.

Havana Cami with Wood Beads by Ella Moss
Here's a fun one from Ella Moss that you can wear to the beach if you're lucky enough to go somewhere warm on vacation this winter. The Havana Cami with Wood Beads has solid banded insets at the bodice, wood bead accents at the straps, and come to the bottom of your hips. We like the floral design of this top. It also comes in peacock as well as in a dress and the print in a peasant blouse.

Threadless
There are new tees at Threadless this week, many with a Valentine's Day theme. We really like Paper Airplanes, A Choice You Need To Make, Secret Love, Sex Sells, and the reprint My Pet Human. Also, if you buy two tees of the same design, no matter what the sizes, you get $10 off. Not as good as their $10 sales, but it's a pretty good deal!

Silk Ciccada Top by Catherine Malandrino
Next up is the Silk Ciccada Top by Catherine Malandrino. This one is 100% silk with 100% cotton trim (opposite of her last top!) with cutout circle details at the V-neck. There is ruching at the bust, pin tucking at the back, a hidden zipper at the side, is lined, and the straps cross at the back. If you like this top, you may also like the Silk Ciccada Dress.
Wide Sleeve Blouse by Catherine Malandrino
Let's make today a Catherine Malandrino day as we've found two new ones by her that are very cute. The first is the Wide Sleeve Blouse. This top is 100% cotton with 100% silk banding at the V-neck and yoke at the waist. There's pleating at the bust and waist, pin tucking at the yoke, and Swiss dots throughout. It is lined, has short sleeves, and there is a hidden side zipper as well. Available in blanc and noir.

Robin Sweater by Marc by Marc Jacobs
We really like this next top, the Robin Sweater by Marc by Marc Jacobs, because it reminds us of one we had years ago that we just adored. This sweater has short sleeves, a boat neck, banding at the neck, bottom hem, and cuffs, and there are stripes at the front and ribbing but no stripes at the back. We think this would be a great sweater for the spring. If only the warm weather would get here soon!
Harrilu
The Shirt Snob just discovered Harrilu while browsing at Etsy, and we think this designer has a bunch of cute t-shirts. We really like the Poppy Tee, the Birds and Swirls Tee (also in brown with long sleeves), and the Botah Flower Tee. Consider supporting an independent designer like Harrilu at Etsy, there's a ton of other great ones.

Pink Mascara Sale
Get up to 75% off at Pink Mascara during their end of the season sale. No code needed, just get over there and shop!
Accessory Friday-Eugenia Kim Hats
The Shirt Snob has just discovered Eugenia Kim hats, and we adore them. There are the Muffy Mini Stripe Equestrian Cap, the Muffy Velvet Equestrian Cap, the Muffy Plaid Cap with No Band, and the Muffy Herringbone Cap. They come in different fabrics (wool, velvet) as well as with or without a band across the top. And each has a brim and is lined. We think they look like they'd be really fun to wear and can really add personality to whatever outfit you're wearing.
Kimono Wrap by Gold Hawk
Looking for something different, beautiful, and comfortable all in one? We like the Kimono by Gold Hawk. This top is 100% silk, has a gorgeous floral print with pinstripes and ties at the waist. Available in raven black and nutmeg. If you like the print, you may like a camisole version as well.
January 25, 2007
Striped Hoodie by LaRok
We realize this next top is a little different than what we would normally like. But the Shirt Snob just loves this look. The Striped Hoodie by LaRok is a sleeveless cardigan made from a cotton and cashmere blend with verticle, multi colored stripes, a hood, a braided belt around the waist, and a long fit. If you want the top underneath as well (since they seem to go so well together), it's the Molly Top, also by LaRok.
VanRockn Apparel
VanRockn Apparel is a t-shirt company out of Ohio that started in 2006. They focus on the funny shirts like what you'd see at Tee Dorm, full of college humor. We really like some of them, such as Toasted, Smoking Stinks, and Stalker. All their tees are printed on American Apparel, and they sell men's shirts as well.
January 24, 2007
Alice Top by Karanina
The Alice Top by Karanina is a very feminine look that we just love. The polka dot print is unusual and quite pretty, and the blouse also has crochet trim along the deep V-neck and a tie in the back so you can make it as tight as you'd like. It is available in garnet jitterbug as well.
Cashmere Ribbed Sleeve V Neck by Vince
Here's a cute and casual cashmere sweater that would be great to pair with your favorite jeans. The Cashmere Ribbed Sleeve V Neck by Vince has a deep, crossover V-neck, over six inches of banding at the bottom hem, and long sleeves. It's available in marshmallow, black, and heather steel. This would be the perfect sweater to wear while curled up in front of the fireplace this winter!

New at Snorg Tees
Snorg Tees has a few new tees in stock. We really like Go Go Gadget and Meat is Neat. But don't forget to check out all their shirts, this is one of our favorite tee companies!
Polka Dot Camisole by Catherine Malandrino
The Shirt Snob is a big fan of Catherine Malandrino, so we were thrilled to discover her Polka Dot Camisole. This lined top has a 100% cotton shell with a 100% silk yoke. There's a V-neck, an empire waist, contrast stitching and piping at the yoke and pleating at the bust and waist. A hidden zipper is at the side as well.
Switched Clothing
The Shirt Snob really likes Switched Clothing, a t-shirt site out of Seattle that we just discovered. They have some beautiful designs, like Body Vinyl and Terra Twilight as well as some funnier ones like Dangerous Killer. All of them are also printed on American Apparel too. We only wish that we could see actual pictures of the shirts instead of just the designs.

New at Threadless
It's a big day for new shirts! Threadless has a bunch as well. We really like Home Sweet Home, Limb, Freedom Call, and the reprint Bunnies.
New at Dirty Microbe
Dirty Microbe has a new tee out as well, and we find it hysterical. No One Reads Your Crappy Blog is great because there are certainly a lot of personal blogs out there that are boring to everyone except the author. These people check their stats many times a day and seem to focus on getting new readers instead of just writing good posts. So this is a great shirt for them.
Brown Turtle
We recently discovered Brown Turtle, and we'd like to introduce them to all of you. They sell t-shirts, and some of them are quite funny. Our favorites include Olive You, Boyscouting, and Hug Dealer. Unfortunately, their website says nothing about who the company is made up or, what their philosophy is, why they make shirts, etc, so we can't tell you much about them. But if you like places like Busted Tees, you may like Brown Turtle as well.
New at Busted Tees
Busted Tees has new shirts out. They are I Choo Choo Choose You, perfect for Valentine's Day (it's a Simpson's reference for those of you who don't get it), and Wyoming: Who Cares? Sort of sad for the few people who actually live there, but funny to the rest of us.
Rio Flutter Wrap Top by Lotta Stensson
Happy Monday readers! We want to start off the week with a stunning blouse, the Rio Flutter Wrap Top by Lotta Stensson. It has copper sequin and bead detailing along the deep V-neck, arms, and upper back, and the tie at the waist is long enough to tie multiple times. The blouse is also long, hanging at the bottom of the hips. It's available in peacock and black.

Accessory Friday-Valentine's Conversational Heart Panties by Juicy Couture
If you are in a relationship, you are probably going to be celebrating Valentine's Day. We think that for Accessory Friday this week we'd show you something fun to celebrate the holiday, Valentine's Conversational Heart Panties by Juicy. These cotton boy shorts have a heart detail on each pair and each says one of the following phrases: Kiss My Couture, I Love Juicy, and Live For Sugar.
Babydoll Satin Top by Tricia Fix
Tricia Fix has some really cute tank tops that we really love, each with a different, fun print. They have a triangle cut bust, satin trim at the neck and straps, an adjustable lace up strap at the back, and an empire waist. The available prints are black spring, red elephant, and orange zebra. There is also a dress version of red elephant, orange zebra, and black spring as well in case you like these prints.

The Ryde
The Ryde is a t-shirt company started by two guys in California who are "focused on producing great t-shirts that make people smile." We think they are doing a good job, as their shirts are pretty and funny. Our top picks include Drink and Dial, For the Birds, and Bird Girls. They also sell mens' and babies' tees.
Warmth Penelope Cardigan by Theory
Some parts of the country may be warm, but winter has finally hit the northeast! So what we'd love right now is the Warmth Penelope Cardigan by Theory. Made from a wool and cashmere blend, this hooded sweater has cable trim at the hood and front, ribbed banding at the bottom hem and cuffs, wide and long sleeves, and a safety pin closure at the top. We think there would be nothing better to wear to keep you warm while still looking stunning!

Sheer Cap Tank by Gold Hawk
The Sheer Cap Tank by Gold Hawk is so elegant and beautiful, and would look great either with a cute skirt or with your favorite pair of jeans. This 100% silk top has a V-neck, an empire waist with gathering at the waist, and sheer ruffle detailing at the adjustble straps. It is available in three colors: porceline blue, oyster, and raven.
Antix
Antix is a t-shirt company that reminds the Shirt Snob of Busted Tees. They sell both mens' and womens' tees. Some of our favorites include Rebellious Message, Dick, and Childhood Hero: Doogie. The company designs and prints all their tees themselves, mostly on American Apparel, and they also have a MySpace page.

Arm Tie Top by T Bags
This next top we just love because the print is so much fun with such great colors! The Arm Tie Top by T Bags has a scoop neck, elastic banding and ruching at the top, 3/4 sleeves with ties, and an unfinished bottom hem. This print is also available in a dress as well.
American Pig Brand
Sometimes the Shirt Snob wonders if she's living in a cave. All these t-shirt companies are out there that we just don't know about. And some of them are pretty cool. Here's yet another one we just discovered, American Pig Brand. We aren't super in love with their name, but they have some really cool tees, such as Windowpane Cutout Tee, Cherry Blossom Tee, Cherry Blossom Twofer Top, and True Vision 3/4 Sleeve Tee. American Pig Brand also sells men's tees, hats, and accessories.

New at Threadless
Another week, another bunch of Threadless tees. Our favorites are Sailing the High Trees, Moon Kite, Bottlenecked, and the reprint Shakespeare Hates Your Emo Poems.
New Items Added to Shop Bop Sale
Shop Bop added a ton of items to their current sale. You can find a bunch of great deals, such as the Long V Neck Sweater by Vince and the Salsa X Back Top by Susana Monaco, which is available in nine colors and is only $43.
Noisebot
One of our readers was kind enough to tell us about Noisebot, a t-shirt company that gives you a ton of options for their designs. You can put them on a huge number of sizes of tees for both men and women and youth as well as hoodies and bags. And there's a bunch of different colors for your tees as well. We love all the variety, especially because the designs are pretty awesome too. Our top picks include Plato, Paper Beats Rock, MySpace Celebrity, and Don't Hassle Me I'm Local (which the Shirt Snob will probably buy for all of her hometown friends). We think the Shirt Snob has found a few favorite t-shirt site!
Eyelet Belle Wrap Top by Diane von Furstenberg
We just love eyelet tops, so when we discovered the Eyelet Belle Wrap Top by Diane von Furstenberg, we knew we had to tell our readers about it. Made of 100% cotton, this lined wrap top has a fold over collar, french cuffs, eyelet detail throughout, a tie at the waist, and semi-sheer short sleeves. It's perfect for your upcoming vacation to warmer climates! Also available in a dress version.

Republicans for Voldemort
When the Shirt Snob discovered this next website, we almost freaked out. Who doesn't love Harry Potter? Republicans for Voldemort comes from a comic strip Goats that we'd never heard of before. But really, we can get behind anything Harry Potter related. This design comes in many different forms, including a baby doll, an American Apparel version, men's tees, bumper stickers, a baby onesie, and even bags. So if you want to show a little HP pride, consider this as an option!
Accessory Friday-Goodmorning, morning!
The Shirt Snob has just discovered some bags that remind us of when we were little. Goodmorning, morning! makes all sorts of handbags, such as bookbags, gathered bags, scalloped bags, quilted purses, and more. Each item is handmade, and they are made using recycled vintage household textiles, which is what we love about them. Some of our favorites include the Brown Apple Bookbag, the Green Floral Patch Flap Purse, the Blue Floral Scalloped Bag, and the Red Tulip Birdie Pouch.

Long Cami by Twelfth St. by Cynthia Vincent
We've mentioned before that we love black and white combos. Here's another that we are coveting, the Long Cami by Twelfth St. by Cynthia Vincent. As the name implies, this camisole is long, and it has a V-neck, smocked banding at the waist, spaghetti straps, and it's 100% silk. It's also available in plain black, purple, red, rose, and taupe as well as in a dress.
Otsu Tree
The Shirt Snob just discovered Otsu Tree, a t-shirt company that has some very nice designs. We really like the designs Pillow Fight, Bazooka, and Hodge Podge. You can buy these designs on their website or at Etsy. They also sell men's tees as well.

New at Threadless
Another week, another bunch of Threadless tees. We like Summer's Passing, Pet Octopus, Bad Seed, and the reprint Threadless (even though it's a bit of a walking advertisement). Threadless
