Mesh and Jersey Cami by James Perse

persemesh.jpg

We really like this next tank because it'd be perfect to help hide a few extra pounds if you're still trying to lose your winter weight at the start of spring. The Mesh and Jersey Cami by James Perse has a high seam above the bust with ruching. There's also mesh details at the top and bottom hems, a keyhole and two buttons at the back, and spaghetti straps. It's available in three colors: white, mackerel, and nolina. You may also like the Mesh and Jersey Cap Sleeve Top.

Full Sleeve Tunic by Mara Hoffman

hoffmanfullsleeve.jpg

The Full Sleeve Tunic by Mara Hoffman is definitely a loud, out there top, but if you want to be seen, it's probably for you. Made of 100% silk, it has a V-neck, 3/4 length sleeves, banding at the cuffs, and a tie at the waist. We love the floral print, it's beautiful and fun.

Camisole by Charlotte Ronson

ronsoncami.jpg

Up next from Charlotte Ronson is the Camisole. Available in ivory and taupe, this cami has nine buttons up the front, ruching at the waist and bust, cutout detail and embroidery at the V-neck and body, is lined, and has adjustable spaghetti straps. We love the embroidery detailing, it really makes this top stand out!

3/4 Sleeve Blouse by Charlotte Ronson

ronson34sleeve.jpg

Yesterday was a T Bags day, so let's make today all about Charlotte Ronson because we're found two great tops by her. First up is the 3/4 Sleeve Blouse. Made from a silk and cotton mix, this sheer top has a split V neck, ties at the neck, ruching at the bust and back, 3/4 length sleeves, and crochet trim at the edges. We think it's a perfect cover up for the beach. If only spring would get here sooner!

Off the Shoulder Top by T Bags

tbagsoffshoulder.jpg

We've been showing you so many of T Bags' tops, why not just do one more at this point? The Off the Shoulder Top by T Bags (which is also available in prints!) has ruching at the top hem, ties at the cuffs, an unfinished bottom hem, 3/4 length sleeves, and is off the shoulder as the name implies. It's available in black and white.

Chain Neck Printed Halter Top by T Bags

tbagschainneck.jpg

The Shirt Snob just can't get enough of these T Bag prints! Here's another great top, the Chain Neck Printed Halter Top. Available in two great prints, this halter top has a scoop neck with chain and ribbon detail that ties behind the neck. There's also ruching at the bust and an unfinished bottom hem. If you like the top but not the prints, there's also solid black and white versions too.

Accessory Friday-Fabric Belts by Belle Bags

bellebagbelts.jpg

The Shirt Snob loves fabric belts (we almost designed one ourselves at 1154 Lill earlier this week), so when we discovered these cute ones by Belle Bags, we knew we had to share. They are perfect for taking a drab outfit and making it more interesting and fun. Each belt is 1 1/2 inches wide and about 40 inches long. They have the same fabric on both sides, are stitched with a contrasting color, and have either a dark wood or acrylic buckle. There are only three different patterns available right now, but you can see from the picture that more have been made in the past, so let's home they become available again soon!

Blair Tank by C&C California

candcblair.jpg

The Blair Tank by C&C California is a bit less simple than many of their tops. It has banding and ruching at the bust, a built in bra, and elastic banding at the back. It seems very soft and comfortable, the type of tank that you don't have to think about, you just put on with a cute pair of jeans.

Cotton Tunic by Vince

vincecottontunic.jpg

Whether you're lucky enough to go on vacation somewhere warm this winter or if you're just looking for tops for this summer, we know this one would be a great addition to your wardrobe. The Cotton Tunic by Vince is a semi sheer top with smocked banding at the shoulders, a V-neck with a tie, ruching at the bust and back, 3/4 length sleeves, and a single button at each cuff. It'd be the perfect cover up to your bathing suit or a cute camisole or tank.

Circular Accessories

circularluckyirish.jpg

Circular Accessories is actually a clothing shop on Etsy. They don't sell accessories as the name implies. That's ok though because we really like their designs, which are all hand silkscreened. Some of our favorite designs include the Swamp Grass Olive Scoop Neck Top, Moon Glow, Black Lotus, and Lucky Irish Lassie Top, which is perfect for St. Patrick's Day coming up. There are also onesies, toddler clothing, and men's tee available as well.

Here's a super girly blouse that all you romantics will love. The Hankerchief Blouse by 3.1 Phillip Lim is 100% silk with a dot and flower pattern throughout, handkerchief detail at the front, ribbon trim at the neckline, and flutter sleeves. This is a great one to dress up or down depending on what you wear with it.

Liquid Jersey Top by Harkham Clothing

harkhamliquidgrey.jpg

We found a couple of great Harkham tops last week, and here's another. The Liquid Jersey Top in grey has an empire waist, a crossover V-neck, and two ties around the front straps which creates gathering at the bust. It's definitely a modern look, and it's one that we just love.

Braided Tie Tube Top by T Bags

tbagsbraidedtiejpg.jpg

This top is so much fun, it's definitely for people who like to stand out at a party and be the center of attention. The Braided Tie Tube Top has gather detail at the bust, an unfinished bottom hem, and extra long braided straps that attach at the center of the bust, forming a sort of V-neck. It's available in two fun prints, yellow and orange.

New Tee at 70 * 7

707kings.jpg

There's a new tee at 70 * 7. If you'll remember, this company gives a lot of money to non profit organizations. The new tee, Kings & Thieves, is donating to AC&E, a charity that is "devoted to reaching, training, and mentoring industry professionals and emerging artists in both spiritual and professional excellence, in order to release their creative power through their craft in a uniquely world changing way." If you like the design, consider a purchase to help out others!

There is something special about this next top that makes us really crave it. The Lines Top by Harkham Clothing has a sheer back and sleeves, eyelet detailing at the sleeves and at the empire waist, a slip underneath, banding at the unusual neckline, and gathering at the bust. There is also a criss cross pattern on the bottom half of the blouse, and what looks like black paint drops are scattered in a few places as well. This blouse is unique and simply stunning.

Silk Cashmere Vest by Rebecca Taylor

rtaylorvest.jpg

We think this next blouse is super feminine and beautiful. The Silk Cashmere Vest by Rebecca Taylor has a belt around the waist, puff sleeves, floral lace throughout, and crocheting around all the hems. We really love the color, and it'd be such a great way to dress up even an ordinary t-shirt. Unfortunately, this top is only available for pre-order until March 16, but we think you should order it. In a month you'd be in for a huge treat in the mail! Buy yourself a Valentine's Day present!

Crop Tank by Karen Zambos

karenzamboscroptank.jpg

The Shirt Snob likes this next top, the Crop Tank by Karen Zambos, because it's shorter than most other shirts out there. If you want to show off a little skin or are sick of all your tops hanging down to mid-hip, this one is for you. Besides the cropped bottom, it also has a drape front, thick straps, a racer back, and a gathered bottom.

Tube Top by Walter

waltergingham.jpg

Here's a fun one that is typical of the Shirt Snob's tastes. The Tube Top by Walter has a chocolate gingham pattern that we can't help but love. It has a constructed bodice with button detailing down the front, and it's fitted on the top but loser in the bottom half. It can also be worn with or without the straps, so it can be either a tube top or a halter top. We love the versitility!

Review: Lucky Threadz

IMG_7361.JPG

The Shirt Snob received two tees from Lucky Threadz to do a review! We are very excited as they have some funny designs on their site, and we were impressed when we first discovered them last month. The tee we received is Hasselhoff, which we chose because he was all the rage this past summer and is always a fun joke and we love how his name is written like Waffle House.

We received our order promptly in a cardboard tube which we really liked. These tees are printed on American Apparel, so if you own a few you know how they fit. The Shirt Snob ordered a medium, and we found it to be just a tad tight for us. But we are sort of in between sizes and hopefully losing those last few pregger pounds soon, so it will fit better. The tees come down to about mid hip, so if you're a very curvy gal, you might want to order a size up to compensate. The prints are great on the tees we received. There isn't a blemish anywhere, and they are holding up in the wash.

hassel_hoff_large.gif

Customer service with Lucky Threadz has been great. They have been quick with responding to us and more than helpful. The Shirt Snob has been emailing with Jake in particular, and he's answered my questions and been great!

Overall, we are very happy with our tee from Lucky Threadz, and we highly recommend you buy some shirts from them! They've also added some new designs recently. We really like Apple Pi and Induced Cookie Dough the best.

We love the print of the Belle Top by Johnny Was, it's perfect for spring! Made of 100% silk, it has a V-neck, a pearl brooch at the bottom of the neck, and a large key hole in the back. There is banding at the neck as well as a strip down the front and much larger banding at the bottom as well as flutter sleeves.

Goddess Top by Tricia Fix

triciafixgoddest.jpg

The Shirt Snob really thinks this next tank, the Goddess Top by Tricia Fix, is a great top for Valentine's Day. It's definitely made for confident women, and if you think you are one of them, good for you! It has black and white satin trim at the back of the straps and at the waist. There's a deep V-neck with an elastic band at the empire waist that provides a key hole below it. Besides red, it is also available in black and white and grey sequin. If you like this top, also consider the Goddess Long Dress in red, black, and black and white and the Goddess Short Dress in blue snake, grey sequin, black and white, and black lace.

Accessory Friday-Clutches by and sometimes Y

andsometimesyclutch.jpg

The Shirt Snob has just discovered and sometimes Y over at Chocosho, and we love this designer's clutches. They are constructed out of vintage men's ties, and we really like the color combinations. Each has subtle embroidery, has a magnetic snap closure, and there's a large vintage button over the closure on each. Our favorite is definitely the Shade of Brown Clutch, but there is also the Shade of Red and Grey Clutch, the Aqua Purple Clutch, the Cyan-Red Paisley Clutch, and the Unicorns in Creme Clutch.

Here's a simple yet handsome blouse that looks very flattering. The Bra Gather 3/4 Sleeve Top by Susana Monacohas banding at the V-neck and at the empire waist, 3/4 length sleeves, and ruching at the bust and waist.
