Lightweight Jersey Tank by Dorothy Lee

The Lightweight Jersey Tank by Dorothy Lee is definitely not boring. It has ruffle trim around the scoop neck, a contrasting bow that ties at the back, and banding around the neck and back. What is unique is the slinky fabric and how it collects at the back. This is definitely one you should check out to see all the pictures. It looks like a lot of fun to wear and is definitely not what every one of your friends will also be wearing this summer.

While we don't think grey is the best color for summer, we think this top is too cute to pass up. The Ruffle Neckline Top by Charlotte Ronson
is a pointelle top with a scoop neck and back, ruffle trim at the front, and cap sleeves. It looks like it'd be a lot of fun to wear, being girly but not over the top.
Theory Petunia Tee with Bow

We don't normally like large ties or bows at the bust, but in the case of the Theory Petunia Tee with Bow we can let that slide. This blouse is pretty cute! It has a bow tie at the bust, short sleeves, and a square neck.

Review: You Are So Famous

We were recently contacted to do a review of a new t-shirt company You Are So Famous, and of course we jumped at the opportunity. Who doesn't love free tees? The West Hollywood company was started to specialize in slogan t-shirts that capture the fun and ridiculousness of the pop culture obsessed world we live in. Some of their designs include It's Britney Bitch and Series Regular. The company is definitely unique; we haven't seen anything like this before.
Our tee arrived promptly in one of those white mailing bags. The tee they sent us was Have You Seen My Sex Tape. After looking at the sizing chart (something we almost never do), we decided to go for a large. The first thing we thought as we put it on for the first time was how comfortable it is. It's very soft, and it's a good thin material so it'll be perfect for this summer. The length is great, coming to our mid hip, and it's fitted without being tight which we really like. However, be careful if you are trying to hide your stomach after a long winter in sweaters, as it will show off your belly if you have one. The wording looks great. It's even and there are no flaws on it at all.

This tee is also very different than all the others we own or have reviewed before because the make up of the shirt is different. The edges at the bottom hem and cuffs are raw, so they roll a bit when you put it on. Also, at the sides have inside out seams, giving it a very casual feel. This isn't the case at the neck though, which is your typical scoop neck with banding.
Customer service was great at You Are So Famous. They were very courteous with us, and we think they will be with you too. Overall, we are very happy with the company and recommend them to our readers! Also check out their men's tees too!
