Emily Top by Velvet

velvetemily.jpg

The Emily Top by Velvet is a pretty simple blouse, but we love the crossover bust. There's also shirring at the bust, line detail down the front, a V-neck, and 3/4 length sleeves. It's available in three colors: fire engine, moody, and loubellia.

Marled Jersey Top by Marc by Marc Jacobs

marcmarled.jpg

We aren't sure how we feel about the front tie on this next top, the Marled Jersey Top by Marc by Marc Jacobs, but we do love the rest of it! This shirt has sheer, mesh stripes throughout, quilted banding at the neck, long sleeves, and the mesh tie at the neck. Wear it with one of your summer tanks or camisoles for a cute look.

Accessory Friday-Lazul Jewelry

lazuljewelry.jpg

The Shirt Snob looked back and we haven't done jewelry for Accessory Friday in a month! Good thing since we just discovered Lazul Jewelry and are really impressed with their organic line. We love the circles in all their pieces, such as the Abstract Gold Necklace, the Freeform Abstract Bracelet, and the Pebbles Gold Ring. There are other collections with great pieces too that you should check out as well.

Solid V Neck 3/4 Sleeve Top by T-Bags

tbagssolidv34.jpg

The Solid V Neck 3/4 Sleeve Top by T-Bags is quite a sexy top! It has a deep V-neck, elastic banding and ruching at the empire waist, 3/4 length dolman sleeves, and an unfinished edge on the bottom hem. And once again we're happy with the solid colors from T-Bags. This top is available in pine and slate.

The Shirt Snob is fond of the Very Light & Fashionable Top by Splendid because it's a great take on your typical solid tee. This blouse has ruching and elastic smocked banding at the wide, rounded neck, smocked banding at the cuffs, and long sleeves. And it's available in a bunch of great colors too: black, grey, iris, marigold, mushroom, navy, sage, white, and heather.

Boucle Wrap Hoodie by Free People

freebouclewrap.jpg

Even though it's still pretty warm where the Shirt Snob resides, we can't help but get excited for winter when we find something as cozy looking as the Boucle Wrap Hoodie by Free People. This cardigan wraps with an extra long tie and a hood. It's made out of a wool, angora, and acrylic mixture, and it's available in five colors: wine, teal, black, ivory, and mocha. It's also quite short, so it'd look great with your longer tops.

Here is a top that is cool and simple. The Tibet Top by LOVE YAYA is an oversized blouse with banding at the droopy scoop neck and cap sleeves. It's available in three colors: heather smoke, onyx, and thistle.

3/4 Sleeve Shirred Neck Top by Zoa

zoa34shirredneck.jpg

We think the 3/4 Sleeve Shirred Neck Top by Zoa is so great because it's simple and elegant but still quite pretty. This top has a shirred neckline with banding, 3/4 length sleeves with banding and gathering, and is available in three colors: black, earth brown, and ravishing red.

Puff Sleeve Button Crew Top by Generra

generrapuffsleevebutton.jpg

The Puff Sleeve Button Crew Top by Generra is a pretty formal looking blouse with its pintucking at the front. But when unbuttoning the six buttons at the bust, it looks a bit less dressy and will work for a lot of situations. This semi-sheer silk blouse also has ruched banding and balloon edges at the cuffs and tonal top stitching at the edges, and elbow length sleeves. It's available in pewter and plum.

New at Busted Tees and Go Ape Shirts

bustedrockpaper.jpg

There are two new designs at Busted Tees today. We really like Rock Paper Scissors more than most we've seen from them in a while!

GoApeSolo.jpg

There is also a new tee over at Go Ape Shirts that we think is pretty funny. Guitar Solo is great for Star Wars fans, but even though we aren't super fans of those movies we like it too!

Fluttered Wings Tee by Free People

freeflutterwingstee.jpg

Looking for a fun and casual top? The Fluttered Wings Tee by Free People is one we definitely like. This jersey knit top has a scoop neck, woven flutter sleeves, pintucking at the bust, buttons at the bust, and smocking at the back. It's available in three different colors combinations: wine/coral, black/cobalt, and grey heather/straw.

Pointelle Cable Knit Cardigan by Alice + Olivia

alicepointellecable.jpg

We've shown a few sweaters similar to the Pointelle Cable Knit Cardigan by Alice + Olivia, but we can't help but show one more. We just love the look of the oversized cream colored cardigans. This one has pointelle detail throughout, a shawl collar, ribbed banding at the edges, long sleeves, and a tie at the waist. It's also a wool and cashmere mix.

Long Sleeve Polo by Charlotte Ronson

cronsonpolo.jpg

The Shirt Snob is on the lookout for a nice polo top, so we are super excited to find the Long Sleeve Polo by Charlotte Ronson. This top has six buttons down the bust, a crest patch at the front, a contrast fold-over collar, ribbed banding at the placket and cuffs, slits at the sides, and long sleeves. It's an interesting choice to put brown and grey together, but we think it works really well in this case!

High Neck Tunic by Geren Ford

gfordhighneck.jpg

The High Neck Tunic by Geren Ford is neat because it has two different looks to it. There is a folded collar that can also be unfolded for a high neck look instead depending on your mood. It's semi-sheer, has short sleeves, pleating at the front and at the V-neck, and subtle stripes throughout.

New Tees at Threadless

threadlessgiraphpaper.jpg

Another Monday, another group of new Threadless tees. We like two new ones (Life on Gi'raph Paper and Northern Ice Pilot) and two reprints (Haikues are Easy But... and Cyclope). We aren't loving any new tees and haven't in a while. Hopefully some great designs will come out soon.

Homestead Mixed Print by Free People

freehomesteadmixed.jpg

We love the feminine look of the Homestead Mixed Print by Free People. This blouse has a front cummerbund, back smocking, sheer sleeves, eyelet embroidery, and a ruffle hem. It is available in six different prints and colors which are all so different that you'll be hard pressed not to find one that fits your personality.

O'Keefe Blouse by Vena Cava

vcavaokeefe.jpg

Much of the time we aren't too fond of tops with some sheer parts. But in the case of the O'Keefe Blouse by Vena Cava we think it's tastefully done. Not overpowering or gaudy. This naturally wrinkly top has a scoop neck and back, horizontal pintucking throughout, metallic detail throughout, frayed edges at the cuffs, sheer short sleeves, a hidden side zipper, and a silk lining.

Gridlock Cami by VPL

vplgridlock.jpg

You would need a lot of confidence to wear the Gridlock Cami by VPL. It's sexy and daring, and we love it! This sheer tank has burnout plaid and seam detail throughout, a logo bar at the back, pointelle banding at the bottom hem, adjustable straps and a double-layered bodice. And unlike most tops that have recently come out, it's only 20 inches long. So if you want something on the shorter side, this might be an option.

Snorg Tees has new designs out this week. There's yet another referencing the Tasing incident, My Bro Got Tased. There's also With a Shirt Like This and Chillin Out from last week.

The Cotton Factory also has new designs. We really like I am Error and I Saved Latin (a Rushmore reference). And guess what else they have? Yes, a reference to the tasing incident: Don't Taze Me Bro!

owlmovementslipslop.jpg

Finally, there's new stuff over at Owl Movement. It's a little busy and pastel for the Shirt Snob, but go check it out if that sounds good to you.

Stripe V Neck Top by Ella Moss

emossstripev.jpg

The Stripe V Neck Top by Ella Moss is a fun and flirty top that helps make the wearer look like a blast to hang out with! This top has horizontal stripes throughout, a V-neck, ruching at the shoulders, banding at the waist in vertical stripes, and short sleeves. Wear this blouse with a cute pair of jeans for a simple, no think cute outfit.

bustedcapitalist.jpg

Busted Tees has new tees out too. There's Capitalist Pig, Don't Tase Me Bro (which is shipping October 1), and Air Guitar Hero (which isn't really our taste but pretty funny none the less).

Accessory Friday - Purple Flower Designs

purpleflower.jpg

This week for Accessory Friday, we chose Purple Flower Designs because they are just so darn cheerful. How could you be in a bad mood if you're carrying a bag around such as the Freedom Bag in Daisy in the Grass or the Handbag in Poppy on a Sunny Day? Others we like include Book Bag in Blossoms and Branches and Mini Wallet in Nik I Bought New Fabric.

Patricia Gauzy Whisper Top by Velvet

velvetpatricia.jpg

Puff sleeves like the ones on the Patricia Gauzy Whisper Top by Velvet are not for everyone (the Shirt Snob included unfortunately). But it's a fun look if you can pull it off. This blouse has banding at the scoop neck, ruching at the cuffs, and an unfinished rolled bottom hem as well as those 3/4 length puff sleeves. It also is semi-sheer and is available in five colors: black, nile, orchid, petal, and white.

Isadora Cami by Yoana Baraschi

The Shirt Snob finds the black floral embroidery on the Isadora Cami by Yoana Baraschi to be quite beautiful. This camisole also has pleated detail at the top, a black tie at the waist, thick black straps, elastic banding at the back, ruffle detail at the neck, and is 100% silk.

Yet another print that is hard to see here. The V Neck Short Sleeve Top by IRO has a polka dot print throughout. This silk blouse also has a V-neck, draped satin sash detail at the front, satin banding at the collar, bottom hem, and short sleeves, and a hidden zipper at the back.

Back Keyhole Sweater by Laila Azhar

lailabackkeyhole.jpg

The Back Keyhole Sweater by Laila Azhar is neat because it's keyhole is different than other similar tops out there. With this top, the hole is actually quite large with a band detail behind the neck. The sweater, made from a cashmere and silk mix, also has a draped overlay at the front, ribbed banding at the scoop neck, short sleeves, and is semi-sheer. It's available in cobalt blue and cream.

Trainwreck Tee at Kovet Kouture

The Shirt Snob is sure many of you felt like a trainwreck at some point. If you want to publicize it, Kovet Kouture just came out with the Trainwreck Tee. It's available in three colors (burnout white, tonal stripes, and PE grey) and is limited edition.

Heather Tencel Deep V Neck Top by Max Studio

maxheathertenceldeepv.jpg

We think the Heather Tencel Deep V Neck Top by Max Studio looks like such a classy blouse. It has piping at the V-neck, flared sleeves, and besides that is pretty simple. It'd be a good top to wear the first time you meet your boyfriend's parents or to an interview as it's pretty, stylish, and definitely not over the top.

Print Bishop Sleeve Wrap Top by Rachel Pally

pallybishopwrap.jpg

We told you about the Bishop Sleeve Top by Rachel Pally last month, and now it's also available in a cute print. The Print Bishop Sleeve Wrap Top has a tie at the waist, 3/4 length sleeves, and ribbed banding at the edges. We really like the print, as the stripes are actually made up of dots which you can see when you take a closer look.

Two From Lacoste

lacostevnecksweater.jpg

The Shirt Snob grew up seeing a lot of Lacoste tops, so it is a brand we have always felt very comfortable with. We can't help but love their preppy looking polos and sweaters. Here are two Lacoste tops that we like right now. First up is the Long Sleeve V-Neck Sweater. It has white and blue striped banding at the cuffs and V-neck, banding at the bottom hem, and the signature logo on the left chest.

lacostestripepolo.jpg

Then there's the 3/4 Sleeve Stripe Polo. This polo is different from the others that have been popular in the last few years because of the contrast collar and placket. This top also has 3/4 length sleeves and is available in black and white.

New Tees at Threadless

There are more new tees over at Threadless today. Teddy Band is sort of cute, and we are huge fans of the reprint Damn Scientists (anyone notice Rusty's roommate wearing it on Greek?), but the rest are not too spectacular.

New Markdowns at Shop Bop

Shop Bop has added a ton of new items to their sale category. This stuff goes quickly at the discount prices, so if there's a top that you've had your eye on, go see if it's been marked down! Some of the Shirt Snob's favorites include the Hamptons Halter Top by Ella Moss, the Robin Ruffle Slip Cami by Twelfth St. by Cynthia Vincent, and the Sweat Top by LOVE YAYA.

P is for Panda

ppandadeath.jpg

We've recently discovered P is for Panda, and while they don't have a huge amount of women's tees, there are a few that we really like. Both Mark Penxa Cardinaland Death Panda are really neat designs. We're impressed with the company because they also give away a third of their profits to the charity of the artist's choice. So you're helping out when you buy from P is for Panda. Also check out their men's tees too.

Jill Wrap Top by Diane von Furstenberg

dvfjill.jpg

If you want a bold print for the work place instead of for a night out, the Jill Wrap Top by Diane von Furstenberg might be a good option. This shirt has a tie at the waist, a fold over collar, banding at the split cuffs and 3/4 length sleeves. It's also 100% silk. We think this is a good one for work because of its toned down colors. It'd look great with a black suit.

Cloudburst Jersey Top by Marc by Marc Jacobs

marccloudburst.jpg

The Cloudburst Jersey Top by Marc by Marc Jacobs has such a fun print that we just had to show to you. Although you can't tell from far away, the print is metallic and shimmery. This blouse also has a mock turtleneck, pleating at the neck and shoulders, and short kimono sleeves.
