Shooting Star Burnout Hoodie by Free People

freeshootingstar.jpg

We think the Shooting Star Burnout Hoodie by Free People is the cutest hoodie we've seen in a while. It has a pattern of moons and stars, a hood with elastic banding, three buttons at the V-neck, and raw stitching throughout. It's available in berry, sapphire, and olive. The Shirt Snob is probably a little too old to wear something like this, but we're sure plenty of our readers could get away with it!

Kanika Top by Velvet

velvetkanika.jpg

Here's a pretty simple blouse that would be a great addition to anyone's wardrobe. The Kanika Top by Velvet is a semi-sheer top with a deep V-neck, wrap detail at the front, unfinished edges, and long sleeves. It'd be great with a pair of jeans or a cute skirt depending on how dressy you'd like to be.

Edited to add Nov 1:
We've also just discovered the same top at Tobi under a different name, but in two other colors: indigo and fire engine.

Tie Front Shirt by Tucker

tuckertiefront.jpg

We feel silly about this, but here is yet another to with a tie at the neck that we don't hate! Maybe this isn't a feature that we can't stand, we just only like it on particular tops and have seen it misused often. The Tie Front Shirt by Tucker is a 100% silk blouse that is semi-sheer, has a scoop neck, banding at the cuffs, short sleeves, and the neck tie. We think it works here because the top is so simple besides the tie, so the blouse isn't too busy. But no matter why it works, what matters is that it does and we like it!

nievesvneckwrap.jpg

Here is a fun print that you will have a blast wearing. The V Neck Wrap Top by Nieves Lavi has a button closure and tie at the waist, ruching and banding at the cuffs, long sleeves and is 100% silk. And we love the paisley print, especially since it's made up of some great fall colors!

hlangdrapedwrapped.jpg

Here's an elegant and simple camisole that we love. The Draped Wrapped Tank by Helmut Lang is wrinkled satin with a scoop neck, draping in the back, adjusable spaghetti straps, and a hidden side zipper. It'd look great with a variety of different bottoms.

New Tees at Threadless

threadlessambition2.jpg

The new Threadless designs are out! We like BEarth, Children Under the Bed, Delivery, and the reprint Ambition Killed the Cat. They also have this new feature called Thriftee, and here's how it works. They will have one tee up on their site for only $10, but it's only in one size and design. The first person to buy that exact tee gets it for $10. Once it's bought, another one goes up. And this goes on forever. So if you like cheap stuff, this is a good one to pay attention to. As we write, there's a girly XL up there!

Here is another great fall color. The Cashmere Sculpted Sweater by Chaiken is a cashmere sweater with diagonal rolls and gathering at the V-neck to the right hip, long sleeves, and rolled hems. And the burgundy color is perfect for this time of year.

Smocked Blouse by Vince

vincesmocked.jpg

We love smocking so of course the Smocked Blouse by Vince is one we had to write about. This silk blouse has ten buttons down the front, a smocked yoke at the shoulders, a single button and ruching at the cuffs, 3/4 length sleeves, and is semi-sheer.

Racer Back Ruffle Tank by Laila Azhar

lailaracerbackruffle.jpg

The Racer Back Ruffle Tank by Laila Azhar is interesting because it has a large ruffled overlay at the waist, which we can't remember seeing before in a top. This tank also has a deep scoop neck, a racer back, thick straps, and is semi-sheer.

Bib Blouse by Chrissa

chrissabib.jpg

It took us a few minutes to figure out why we like the Bib Blouse by Chrissa. After all, it's a pretty simple looking top. But then we realized that simplicity is not a bad thing. This blouse has a bib neckline with ruffle trim and pleating and a slight metallic sheen, so it's not totally boring like a plain tee. And we feel it's good to have some more simple tops in your wardrobe. This is a great one, and we think it's a great look with a cute pair of jeans.

Breaker Tank by VPL

vplbreaker.jpg

The Breaker Tank by VPL is pretty similar to the Banner Tank that we showed you last month, but we think both are hot tanks that our readers would love, so why not show you this one too? This one has contrast elastic banding at the contrast bodice, ruching at the empire waist, adjustable straps, and a logo bar at the back. Besides eggplant, it's available in military green, grenadine, and beige.

Birdflower Tee at Gama Go

gamagobirdflower.jpg

Way back in April 2006 our boss took over the blog for a few days while the Shirt Snob recovered from childbirth, and much was written about Gama Go. For some reason, the Shirt Snob hasn't written about them since. Well, we are ready to change that now that we discovered the Birdflower Tee. We think it's such a cute design, so happy! We aren't sure whose tee it's printed on, but it's silk screened and is available on two colors: asphalt and white.

Silk Jersey Top by Foley + Corinna

foleysilkjersey.jpg

The Silk Jersey Top by Foley + Corinna seems to us to be about as refined as a tube top can be. This 100% silk top is lined at the bodice, has a ruched overlay, boning at the bodice, and a hidden back zipper. It'll dress up any bottom you want to wear with it.

Guilded Tulip Tunic Shell by Rebecca Taylor

rtaylorguilded.jpg

We haven't seen anything like the floral print on the Guilded Tulip Tunic Shell by Rebecca Taylor before, but we love it! This blouse has twisted banding at the scoop neck, a crossover pleat at the front, tie at the waist, asymmetrical bottom hem, cap sleeves, and two buttons and a keyhole at the back. It's a little busy but would look great with a simple bottom.

There is nothing more feminine and romantic than lace!

It's available in two colors: champagne and black.

The Private Party Top by Joie would certainly be a fun shirt to wear to a party! This tank has satin banding at the top and bottom hems, ruchign at the bust and back, 3 buttons at the front, thick straps, and is lined. We love how perfect the eggplant color is for fall, but it's available in caviar too.

Lurex Stripe Tunic by Splendid

splendidlurex.jpg

If you are looking for a fun casual top, we like the Lurex Stripe Tunic by Splendid. This shirt has metallic stripes throughout which make it a little less ordinary than other similar tops. There's also thick banding at the crossover V-neck and bottom hem and long sleeves. If you like this tunic, you may also like the Lurex Stripe Top too.

rpallydoublebowtie.jpg

If you have a great looking back, you can show it off in the Double Bow Tie Halter Top by Rachel Pally. It has a totally open back as well as 2 inch banding at the neck, five inch banding at the bottom, a large tie behind the neck and another at the hips, and ruching at the banding.

Very Light & Fashionable Raglan V Neck Top by Splendid

splendidraglanv.jpg

The Very Light & Fashionable Raglan V Neck Top by Splendid isn't a super exciting top, but it has a few small details that make it a little bit unique. The Shirt Snob likes the slightly rounded V-neck which looks like the bottom of a heart. There's also a V at the back, ruching and banding at the neck, long sleeves, and it's semi-sheer.

Foil Jersey Square Neck Top by Splendid

splendidfoil.jpg

From the picture this top looks pretty ordinary. What you can't see on the Foil Jersey Square Neck Top by Splendid is that it has a metallic thread throughout. There's also elastic banding at the shoulders, ruching and banding at the square neck, short sleeves, and it's semi-sheer. Also available in black which looks much more metallic. And if you like it, you may also like the Foil Jersey Tank.

Breast Cancer Tee at Privacy Wear

privacyunited.jpg

We are sure you've seen plenty of breast cancer awareness products all over the web this month, but we've found some tees we haven't seen before that we really like. The United We Cure Tee at Privacy Wear is a cute design. The website says absolutely nothing about the tee besides for sizing, so we have no idea what it's printed on, how it's printed, etc. But if you like the design, give it a try! It's also available in pink and olive.

More designs came out today, and our top picks are Fall_ing, The Good Guys Don't Glow at Midnight, and the reprint Star Men in Moon's Milk.

Design By Humans

designhumans.jpg

Design by Humans is a tee company that sells a new shirt every day. It's a contest where you can win to be the shirt of the day, but also the shirt of the week or month too. A lot of their designs are hit or miss to the Shirt Snob, and a lot aren't available in women's sizes, but there are some good finds there too. You can also search just for women's tees. A couple of recent ones that we've liked include Attraction and Bad Pet.

The Belinda Top by Joie isn't super special, but we really like the thick brocade banding at the scoop neck. There's also a brocade panel at the racer back as well as pleating at the front and back.

Short Kimono Sweater by Lily McNeal

We're big fans of Lily McNeal sweaters here at Shirt Snob, so we're happy to have discovered a new one. The Short Kimono Sweater has ribbed detail down the front and sleeves, a tie at the waist, and kimono sleeves. It's also made of camel hair, which is a little more exotic than what most of our sweaters are made out of. It looks cozy and a great addition to your fall wardrobe.

Accessory Friday-Fuss Jewelry

fussjewelry.jpg

Fuss Jewelry is a jewelry store on Etsy that we are going gaga over. Maybe it's because there's a lot of gold (which is finally officially in style again, although we've never stopped wearing it) and fall colored stones, and we're a sucker for anything that reminds us of this season. But we just want to buy up the entire store. Some of the Shirt Snob's favorites include the Whiskey and Champagne Quartz Flower Earrings, the Flower Dangle Earrings, the Smooth Whiskey Quartz Drop with Sunburst and Rose Clusters Necklace, and the Champagne Bomb Ring.
