Accessory Friday-OM Home
The Shirt Snob is buying our first home (yay!), and we are terribly excited about throws and pillows and carpets all of a sudden. We don't know much about interior decorating, but we do know what we like. So when we discovered OM Home, we knew we had to share! The line has a huge Indian influence that we love, and we are so enamored with everything on the site that we can't choose a favorite. We were originally interested by the CCFC Pillows, but then we discovered matching placemats and napkins, and from there everything got blurry because we find everything irresistible. We just hope that OM Home expands to bedding because we want our entire house with these products.

Jenna Top by C&C California
The Jenna Top by C&C California is a great top that works well in a ton of different situations. It has a pointelle bodice, V-neck, a V at the back, ruching at the bust, and is semi sheer. We love the length of the sleeves, which we've started to notice on a bunch of blouses this season. This shirt is available in black, faded black, ginger, rose, and sweet pea.

Harkham Clothing and Woo Sale at Couture Clothing
For today only, get 30% off all Harkham Clothing and Woo at Couture Clothing. Use the code "MARCH30" at check out. This deal does not apply to items already on sale. Considering how much the Shirt Snob is loving Harkham lately (two examples being the Treescape Pleated Tank and the Lines Top), we think this is a deal you can't ignore.
New at Busted Tees: Goodbye-a Sanjaya
Considering it's the number one show on tv, we're sure that many of you watch American Idol. So we know a bunch of our readers will appreciate the new tee from Busted Tees, Goodbye-a Sanjaya. It's hard not to have an opinion on Sanjaya and his unique hair (seven ponytail mohawk anyone?). If you feel the same way about him that the Shirt Snob does, you may like this tee. It's only available for pre-order now, but it will ship by April 6.
Cardigans by Splendid
Here's a very unique cardigan that we have a huge weakness for. The Very Light and Fashionable Heather Drape Cardigan and the Very Light and Fashionable Jersey Drape Cardigan, both by Splendid, are made from a pima cotton and modal mix and are semi-sheer. They have long sleeves and thick banding at the neck and front. We love how there are no clasps or buttons down the front, really making these cardigans look so unique and interesting. They'd be perfect to throw over your tanks this spring.

Chantilly Flower Tank by Marc by March Jacobs
The Shirt Snob loves black and white, so we are quite fond of the Chantilly Flower Tank by Marc by Marc Jacobs. There is satin banding at the top hem, ruching at the bust, an empire waist, grosgrain detail at the straps and banding, a hidden zipper, and a triple layer hem. It's fun and flirty with a great print. What more could you ask for in a top?
New at The Cotton Factory
The Cotton Factory has new tees out, and we really like Beware the Owls. Besides their sale that is still going on, they are selling a Grab Bag Tee for $5. You choose the size, they choose the shirt. We love the idea!
Puff Sleeve Top by Generra
This next blouse has a real girly appeal to it. The Puff Sleeve Top by Generra is semi sheer, has pintucking above the bust and at the back, puff sleeves, and is a cotton and silk mix. We love the print, which is available in opal multi and custard multi. It's fun and feminine and makes us feel young!
Yvonne Twisted Cami by Saint Grace
Bordeaux is a sorority color for the Shirt Snob, so we can't help but adore this next top, the Yvonne Twisted Cami in Bordeaux by Saint Grace. This top has a crossover V-neck, elastic bands at the empire waist, a loose body, twisted straps, and a hem that is longer on the sides.. The fabric is heavenly soft and stretchy for a perfect look. If only more tops were this beautiful color!

New at Nerdy Shirts
Nerdy Shirts has a new tee out this week that we think is funny. If you've noticed on many sites, Diggs are huge. We don't really use them for the blogs we write for, but we know many people who have wanted their posts dugg in the past. So of course we think Digg Me at Nerdy Shirts is pretty funny. We do wonder if people on the street like your tee, does the number automatically go up?
Smocked Baby Doll Shirt by Juicy Couture
If you want to look a few years younger, the Smocked Baby Doll Shirt by Juicy Couture is a good top to start with. It has a smocked bodice, ruffle trim at the placket, lace trim at the bottom hem, five buttons at the bust, and spaghetti straps that tie at the shoulders. It's so adorable, how could you not look younger wearing it? Besides bungalow shown, it's also available in black. If you like this top, consider the Print Smocked Baby Doll Shirt too.
Cardigan by Rag & Bone
A cardigan is a great way to keep yourself warm but still wear that cute cami that you love so much this spring. We are partial to the Cardigan by Rag & Bone. Made from a modal and angora mix, it has five bottons down the front, a single button at each cuff, two pockets on the front, and long sleeves. It's available in pink and white.
Bra Structure Camisole with Embroidery by Catherine Malandrino
We love almost everything by Catherine Malandrino, and this next top is no exception. The Bra Structure Camisole with Embroidery has embroidered cutout detailing through out the bodice that we just love. There is also pleating at the waist, underwire bra detail, a lined bust, spaghetti straps that go over the shoulders as well as ties around the neck, and a hidden zipper at the side.

Review: Switched Clothing
The Shirt Snob has just received two tees from Switched Clothing, whom we told you about in January, and we are happy to be doing a review for you all.
The company gave me enough points in my account to buy two tees. With each purchase, you receive points that can later be used as credit to buy tees. We placed my order quite easily using these points, and our shirts shipped promptly. They came in a box and were wrapped in tissue paper that was wrapped in newspaper very neatly and wrinkle free.
The two tees we received are Dangerous Killer and Darwin and Jesus Fish. Both tees are comfy and cozy, just what you'd want in a t-shirt. They are American Apparel, so if you own others, you know how great they are. There are no tags in the shirts, and their designs both look great and are printed well. We are very happy with them!
Switched Clothing has been really easy to work with. They seem more than eager to please their customers, and if you have any questions we're sure they'd be more than happy to answer them. In fact, we originally ordered the wrong size (thinking their were baby doll tees instead of the regular women's cut), and they were more than happy to take the tees back and ship out my new order right away. Our order also arrived with detailed instructions on how to care for the tees and who to contact if you have a problem. They really seem to work hard to please their customers. The company also has a MySpace page, which is how we communicated with them a bunch.
They are also having free shipping on all orders of $30 or more until April 20, which is the same day as their iPod giveaway is over. Check out their website for more details on that contest.
Metallic Linen Jacket by Walter
The Shirt Snob loves jackets for spring and fall. We aren't a fan of big bulky coats (although we realize that when it's freezing out, they can be best), but jackets can really enhance an outfit. One of our new favorites is this cute one, the Metallic Linen Jacket by Walter. It has cropped belled sleeves, a high neck, four large buttons down the front, and pockets on both sides. It is quite elegant and can really make your outfit sparkle.
New at Owl Movement
Series Five was just launched over at Owl Movement. There are four new tees, and the Shirt Snob's favorite is Scuba Platypus. They still have a bunch of their previous series tees available too.
Daisy Jacquard Silk Top by Marc by Marc Jacobs
Here's a cute one for spring. The Daisy Jacquard Silk Top by Marc by Marc Jacobs has a V-neck with a tie, 5 buttons at the front, 3/4 length sleeves, a button at each cuff, and smocked banding at the shoulders. We can't help but love the daisy print throughout. You may also like the Daisy Jacquard Silk Blouse which is a similar top with a key hole at the scoop neck.
New at Lucky Threadz
Lucky Threadz has some new tees out that we really like. Our favorite designs include Puppet Master, The Communist Party (not to be confused by the Threadless one by the same name), and Too Busy Lookin Good.
March 26, 2007
New at Threadless
Another week, another large batch of Threadless tees. The Shirt Snob's picks include Poker Hand Values, The Frog Piper, Don't Play With Matches, and the reprints The Communist Party and Doodle Bug (both of which are also available on hoodies).
Deep V Neck Gathered Top by Graham & Spencer
Here's a simple yet handsome tank that is perfect for the warmer weather coming up. TheDeep V Neck Gathered Top by Graham & Spencer is 100% linen with one inch banding and ruching at the V-neck and back, three inch banding and ruching at the bottom hem, and thick straps. It's available in mocha and rose.
Give Peas a Chance from PETA
The Shirt Snob is a vegetarian and lover of animals. We don't believe in pushing our beliefs on others (and honestly, we have a few leather items ourselves, so we aren't perfect anyway). However, this tee from PETA is so cute we just had to share. Give Peas a Chance is cute without being too pushy and in your face. Another we like is Powered By Tofu. If PETA is an organization you would like to support, consider buying a shirt from their store.

Accessory Friday-Photo Albums by This Is J
For Accessory Friday this week, we have discovered some beautiful photo albums by This Is J. Not enough people use photo albums nowadays, instead keeping their pictures online. While we love being able to send pictures to our friends and family in a matter of seconds, we certainly do miss being able to sit down and look at pictures in a book. We are trying to use our photo albums more and print out more pictures to put in them. One thing that we really think will help is placing your pictures in the most handsome album you can find. And for us, that is certainly these ones. Each is hand cut and crafted from suede and delicately embroidered. The photos are protected by a PVC/acid free sleeve, and each album holds 24 4x6 pictures. The albums are available in three colors: turquoise, green, and brown.
New at The Ryde
There are new tees over at The Ryde. We really like the tee Smoke. They still have all their old designs that we love too, like Bird Girls.
Deep V-Neck Flutter Sleeve Top by Zoa
Here's a cute and inexpensive one that would be great to add to your spring wardrobe. The Deep V-Neck Flutter Sleeve Top by Zoa is a semi-sheer blouse with a deep V-neck, loose sleeves, and a tie and gathering at the bust. It's only $57, and it's available in six colors: white, pink rasberry, sunburst, perri, apple, and black.
Venetian Gate Top by Nanette Lepore
Nanette Lepore is by far one of the Shirt Snob's favorite designers. With this next top, the Venetian Gate Top, she certainly doesn't disappoint. It has crocheting along the body and trim as well as in two panels going around the top, a deep V-neck, and there are two tab closures at the bust. The colors go great together as well. We just find this blouse stunning!

Taffy Striped Top by Alex Gaines
You might be shocked to know that after over 1000 posts, this is the first polo we've ever written about. It's especially funny because the Shirt Snob loves polos. The Taffy Striped Top by Alex Gaines is a great one to start off this new category. It has banding around the scoop collar, blue and brown stripes, and puffed sleeves. If you love polos, definitely check out this one!
Treescape Pleated Tank by Harkham Clothing
The Shirt Snob is truly in love with this next top. The Treescape Pleated Tank in blush and white-almond has such an amazing print, we just can't get enough of it. It also has a tie at the back, another tie at the spaghetti straps, pleating in the back, a long body, and a high neck. Wear this blouse, and you'll be the talk of your party!
Illusion Top by Harkham Clothing
We are aware that we've showcased a bunch of shirts from Harkham Clothing recently, but we can't help it. We keep discovering more and more that we adore. So we're making today Harkham Clothing day! First up is the Illusion Top. It has fake leather spaghetti straps, similar detailing that criss crosses around the bust, a V-neck, empire waist, pleating at the waist, and a zipper at the back. It looks comfortable and so flattering to the wearer!

Strapless Eyelet Top by Vanitas
If you didn't get enough of eyelet on Monday, consider the Strapless Eyelet Top by Vanitas. This tube top has eyelet detailing throughout with an empire waist, piping underneath the bust, two front pouch pockets, and a lining underneath. It's a great combo of sexiness and innocence that we just love!
Bari Long Sleeve Tunic by Velvet
The Bari Long Sleeve Tunic by Velvet reminds us of all the Grecian tops we wrote about in 2005, but in brighter colors This long blouse has a tie at the bust, ruching at the V-neck, banding at the cuffs, 3/4 length raglan sleeves, and an unfinished bottom hem. It's available in three colors: lipstick, black, and nightfall.

Ori Cap Sleeve Drape Top by Velvet
Here's a simple yet elegant blouse that almost anyone can afford. The Ori Cap Sleeve Drape Top by Velvet has voile yoke above the bust, ruching at the bust, unfinished and rolled edges, and cap sleeves. And at $64, you can afford to buy it in more than one color. It's available in turf, electric, and white, but turf is definitely our favorite.
One Button Cardigan by Vince
The Shirt Snob loves this next top so much, the One Button Cardigan by Vince. We have always loved the look of a cardigan with only the top button closed (it brings us back to high school and what the cool girls were wearing). Besides the button, this cardigan has ribbed banding at the empire waist and cuffs and 3/4 length dolman sleeves.
New at Threadless
It's Threadless time again! This week, we really like Inside You, These Trees Stand Tall, Mr. Toxic Waste (it glows in the dark!),
