Accessory Friday-Beach Totes by Fabucci by Tote le Monde

fabuccibeachtote.jpg

What first comes to mind when we think of summer is the beach. Unfortunately, we don't live near one anymore, but for those of you who do certainly need a cute beach bag this summer. We like the Pink Beach Tote by Fabucci by Tote le Monde. It is made of recyclable, woven plastic, has three pockets at the front and back, a removable zipper pouch, and leather handles. It's also available in white and blue.

Tiny Stripe Top by Splendid

splendidtinystripe.jpg

Splendid's Tiny Stripe Top in grey and rouge is exactly what the Shirt Snob wants to wear when we're being super casual or hanging around the house. This henley has a V-neck with three buttons, 3/4 length sleeves, and mini stripes at the bodice. It looks really comfortable and perfect for lounging around.

Octopus Tank by C&C California

candcoctopus.jpg

The Shirt Snob is quite fond of the print on this next top, the Octopus Tank by C&C California. Black octopuses sprawl across a white background on this tank. There's also a scoop neck with banding, thin straps, and is quite fitted. It's great for layering as you can see by the picture!

Go Ape Shirts

goapeelliot.jpg

Here's another that we can't believe we haven't written about yet! Go Ape Shirts is a tee company with a bunch of funny designs available in both men's and women's sizes. The tees are screen printed on American Apparel. We don't know much about the company from their website, so we don't know why they started or anything. However, they have so many tees that we like that we can forgive them. Some of our favorite designs include The Zombie of Oz, Elliot's New Friend, Reach For the Sky, and Oh Nooo.

Aubrey Cardigan by Elizabeth Gillett Ltd

elizabethgillettaubrey.jpg

Looking for an elegant cover up when you are wearing dressier clothes? Then Aubrey Cardigan by Elizabeth Gillett Ltd is perfect for you. It has a bow at the neck with hidden snaps to hold it together. Wear it to a wedding or other formal settings over your strappy dresses to stay warm!

Burnswell

burnswellravens.jpg

Burnswell is a t-shirt company that has an interesting mix of designs. Some are rather artsy such as the Raven's Tee (available in chocolate and Kelly), others are more in tune with pop culture, like the Eleven tee, and then a few are just funny like the Robots of Sin . A few other designs we like include Not So Scary, Fleur, and World of Science.

Mulberry Print Tank by Splendid

splendidmulberry.jpg

This next top, the Mulberry Print Tank by Splendid, is quite unique because of the blue swirl and leaf print. It also has a V-neck with a V at the back, white banding at the neck, and ruching at the neck and back. Would look great with jeans or a dressier bottom!

Solid V Neck Tank by T-Bags

tbagssolidvtank.jpg

Those of you who love T-Bags but don't always want such bold prints, the Solid V Neck Tank by T-Bags is for you. This long tunic has gathering and elastic banding at the empire waist, ruching at the bust and back, twisted straps, and an asymmetrical bottom hem. It's available in black, royal, and vanilla.

New at Busted Tees

bustedshift.jpg

Busted Tees certainly has been busy! Besides the Dramatic Chipmuck tee available for preorder, they've also just come out with three other new tees! They are Shift Happens, Blimpin' Ain't Easy, and Yield to Snitchin'. Busted Tees is really starting to have a ton of great designs to choose from. We're glad they're still selling some good old favorites of ours in addition to all these great new ones!

New at Oddica

oddicaorchestra.jpg

Oddica has some new tees available this week. The Shirt Snob's favorites are the Orchestra Tank and the Robot vs. Bear Tee. We believe this is the first tank top being sold at Oddica. The design is printed on an American Apparel racer back tank that looks really comfortable.

Review: Tees My Body

ninjas-love-pirates-t-shirt2.jpg

The good people over at Tees My Body sent the Shirt Snob a tee for review. We were allowed to choose our own design, and after much thought decided on Ninjas Love Pirates. This is a new design for the ladies, and we think it's hysterical. We must say that Fight Milk Expiration is also a favorite design of theirs.

When we opened the package, the first thing we noticed was the the tee was larger than we thought it'd be. We had ordered a size large, and it's bigger than all the other larges that we've previous reviewed. This is actually quite refreshing to see. Most tee companies sell shirts that are not very forgiving. While we're sure that many of our readers have flat stomachs, we're also sure that some don't. And as someone who's still recovering a bit from a pregnancy, we like that these tees are a bit more of a looser fit. The tee is quite comfortable. It isn't baggy, but it's not too long or tight on the hips and is slightly stretchy. The tee is Hanes, which we've also never had before, but we like it. It is high quality with double stitching. The design is also printed very well. After washing the tee, it did shrink a bit. Before the washing, it was definitely too large for us, but afterwards, it fits quite well without hugging our belly. If you aren't sure of your size, we'd say order a size up.

IMG_8423.JPG

We really enjoyed our interactions with the good people at Tees My Body. They have been very nice, accommodating, and helpful. The Shirt Snob thinks that this is a great company, and we really hope you buy some of their great designs. You won't be disappointed!

Huntington Cami by Ella Moss

ellamosshuntington.jpg

The Shirt Snob loves how cute and casual this next tank is. The Huntington Cami by Ella Moss is a long cami with a crossover bust, spaghetti straps, empire waist, and side pockets. You could wear it to a BBQ, the beach, a pool party, or anywhere else this summer.

Edited to add:
We've also found this top at Shop Bop in three other colors besides flamingo: grape, white, and zucchini.

Two Layering Tanks

splendidjerseytank.jpg

We've discovered two tanks that are virtually identical and are great for layering, so we thought we'd show you them both. First up is the Very Light and Fashionable Jersey Tank by Splendid. Made from a cotton and modal mix, this top is semi-sheer with ruching at the bust and back, a round neck, and think straps. It's available in marine, sunflower, and white.

candcava.jpg

Next up is the Ava Tank by C&C California. This tank is 100% cotton with banding at the neck, back, and straps and ruching at the bust and back. It's available in five colors: black, kiwi, navy, lemon, and white. Both are almost identical in price too!

Busted Tees: Dramatic Chipmunk

busteddramatic.jpg

Have you seen the Dramatic Chipmunk video circulating the web? I hadn't until I heard about the new Busted Tees shirt that is now available for preorder. The video is pretty funny, and if you want a shirt that commemorates it, this is it. The tee will ship on July 6, so be the first to have it!

Scoopneck Tank in Black by Juicy Couture

juicyscoopnecktankjpg.jpg

We don't see many knit tops in the summer, but here's a cute one by Juicy Couture. The Scoopneck Tank is sheer with ruffle detailing at the scoop neckline, five buttons at the neck, and banding at the bottom hem. If you're looking for something a little different than the usual cotton and silk tanks, this is one to consider.

Cedrela Top by Karanina

karaninacedrela.jpg

The picture for the Cedrela Top by Karanina certainly doesn't do it justice. At first, we thought it full of studs and beads and rather tacky. However, this blouse is two layers, with cut out detailing throughout with the black layer underneath peaking through. This makes it a pretty fun top actually! It also has a deep V-neck with black banding and a black sash that ties at the back. It's also available in black forest and brown, but we don't like those colors quite as much.

Accessory Friday-Trisse Head Scarf

trisseheadscarf.jpg

For Accessory Friday, we thought we'd focus on the head. We just discovered the Trisse Head Scarf, available in black and white and curry and white at Language, and we think it's adorable. It has an elastic band at the nape of the neck, so everything stays where it should and it's easy to take on and off. This is all concealed by the tie, so no one has to know! It's also 100% silk. And don't forget that you can use the discount "shirtsnob" at Language on this and all other non-sale items through the year.

Linen Jersey Blocked Tunic at Max Studio

maxlinenjerseyblockedtunic.jpg

The Linen Jersey Blocked Tunic at Max Studio is such a flirty top! It has ruffles, shirring and a hidden elastic at the empire waist, peek-a-boo trim above the bottom hem, fringe at the bottom hem, and a tie behind the neck. It's available in kermit and off-white.

Spunk Top by LOVE YAYA

yayaspunk.jpg

The Spunk Top by LOVE YAYA isn't super spunky, but it's still quite pretty. It has a deep V-neck at the front and back, pleating and elastic banding at the empire waist, and a raw bottom hem. It's available in amethyst, midnight, and onyx.

Pam Halter Top by Rachel Pally

rpallypam.jpg

We haven't been showing enough black tops on here recently, which is odd since it's one of our favorites! The Pam Halter Top by Rachel Pally has a deep V-neck, gathered detail at the empire waist and by the neck, an elastic at the waist, and a key hole below the waist. And best of all it's black, perfect for a night out on the town!

Vintage Cotton

vintagecottonadhd.gif

Vintage Cotton is a new t-shirt company that has funny designs on their tees. All are screen printed onto either American Apparel or Gildan (we'd never heard of them, but they make basic tees like American Apparel). Some of their designs we've seen before (Stewart/Colbert 08), but others are quite new to us. Our favorite designs include ADHD, Bayside Tigers, and Average Joe's Dodgeball. They have a lot of other funny designs that are only available in men's sizes, but hopefully soon they'll be released for women as well.

Polly Maggoo Top by Kate and Kass

katekasspolly.jpg

The Shirt Snob really likes the name of this top, the Polly Maggoo Top by Kate and Kass. This woven tank has it's seam at the bust with an inverted pleat down the front. It also has thick straps and is available in black, navy, and white.

New Tees at Snorg Tees

snorghot.gif

Snorg Tees has a few new tees out, and we really like they are pretty funny. They are This is Why I'm Hot and Scrantonicity. Nerd humor and The Office joke, what could be better?

Cami with Lace Trim by Juicy Couture

juicycamilacetrim.jpg

Actually, if you like that Juicy cardigan we just showed you, you may also like the Cami with Lace Trim by Juicy Couture as it is rather similar. It has lace trim at the top hem and straps, is semi sheer with cables going down the front, and pleating at the empire waist. You really don't see cables that often on lighter tops, so this is a nice change for the summer.

Cardigan with Lace Trim by Juicy Couture

juicycardiganlacetrim.jpg

Light cardigans are such an easy and elegant way to stay warm if your evenings are cooler. We really think the Cardigan with Lace Trim by Juicy Couture is perfect. It has six buttons down the front, patch pockets, 3/4 sleeves, lace trim at the pockets, neck, and down the front, and it's semi-sheer.

Two Hoodies by Splendid

splendidrugbytunic.jpg

The Shirt Snob is in the mood for hoodies. Here are two cute ones by Splendid. First up is the Rugby French Terry Hoodie Tunic. It has thick stripes, ribbed banding at the V-neck, elastic banding at ruching at the empire waist, surged edges at the bottom hem and cuffs and short dolman sleeves.

splendidrugbyhoodie.jpg

Then there's the Rugby French Terry Hoodie. This one is also striped but has a zipper closure down the front, pouch pockets at the front, ribbed banding at the bottom hem and cuffs and long sleeves. It's available in two colors too, mushroom and steel blue. Depending on what type of cover up you want, you have two cute hoodies to choose from!

Jersey Bella Top by ingwa; melero

ingwabellatop.jpg

Here's one by ingwa; melero that's a little more toned down than the designer's usual tops. The Jersey Bella Top has a scoop neck, a keyhole at the bust and empire waist all lined with cut out embroidered trim. There's also ruching at the neck and a tie at the back. It's very sexy and looks like a ton of fun to wear!

Jolie Halter Top by Susana Monaco

smonacojolie.jpg

We really like this next top, the very sexy Jolie Halter Top by Susana Monaco. It has a deep neckline, ruching at the bust, large banding at the empire waist, and straps that tie behind the neck. It's available in black, bluefin, sugar, and java plum.

Slope Jacket by Vince

vinceslope.jpg

We really like the Slope Jacket by Vince because of how unique it looks. So many dressier jackets are boring, and this one certainly isn't. Made of a cashmere, alpaca and wool mixture, it has elbow length sleeves, a single button at the front, and is available in three colors: heather black, heather coastal (which looks just like heather black in our opinion), and heather coal.

New at Random Shirts

There are another two new tees out at Random Shirts. We must say that we really like Bird Flight. It's also available in men's sizes too as always.

New Tees at Threadless

threadlessoriginalgamester.jpg

It's Monday, which means more Threadless tees came out. The Shirt Snob really likes Playground Love, Relax and Dream of Nothing, Original Gamester, and the reprints Musical Meditation and The Sound of Silents. And there are a few new designs for kids as well this week too.

Meat and Potatoes

meatandpotatoescreeper.jpg

The Shirt Snob's just discovered another awesome tee shop, Meat and Potatoes. They sell a bunch of cute girly tees. Some of our favorites include a bird in the _____. (yes, that's the name), bloom, mostly evil, and creeper. The site doesn't allow us to link to them individually, but definitely check them out! A portion of their sales are also donated to food charities here in the US, so you'll be supporting a great cause by supporting them!

Strap Crossback Top by Susana Monaco

smonacostrapcrossback.jpg

The Strap Crossback Top by Susana Monaco has such a clean and fresh look that we can't get enough of. I has straps that cross at the back, a slight flare at the bottom, and is lined at the bodice. Hurry though because it's going quickly. As of writing this, it's available in black, midnight, lei, and sugar, but sugar is about to be gone!

Camisole by Rag & Bone

ragcamisole.jpg

We think the Camisole by Rag & Bone is very flattering. Made of 100% silk, it has contrast trim at the bodice, ruching at the empire waist, button details at the bust and four buttons at the back, a tie at the back, spaghetti straps and slits at the sides. It's available in pink and grey.
