If you want that vintage look without the fuss, this shirt by 291 is for you. This ‘Flower-Child’ shirt is better than the tees you would find at Urban Outfitters! The shirt is already soft, to give you that worn-in feel. And with that cool graphic, who can resist?

Great article today in TimesOnline regarding cartoon t-shirts that have been unfortunately spotted around town lately.
“a trend for people who are not six years old to wear cartoon T-shirts. I imagine the intended effect is, “Look – I’m still cute and ditzy!” – but to me it’s faintly perverted that anyone over 25 would wear a picture of anything that might appear on a toddler’s lunch box.
Yet they are everywhere – people with spider veins wearing T-shirts featuring, say, Daisy Duck (Topshop), Minnie Mouse, Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm (Asda), My Little Pony (Choice). What are they thinking? No one, apart from maybe the steamed-up-glasses brigade, wants to see a middle-aged woman’s breasts with the words “Little Miss Giggles” stretched across them. It’s Lolita in reverse. It’s freaky. Make it go away.”
Gotta say, we here at FI totally agree. One of our bff’s bff was caught wearing a ‘Cheerios’ tee the other day and we cringed. Don’t people know how to grow up? T-shirts are great, but they don’t need to have Sponge BoB on them for you to appreciate the wearability.
Weight in indies, cartoon tees in or out?

This spring, TONIC launched a new series of four limited edition t-shirts conceptualized by Luella Bartley. Each design in Bartley’s collection, created exclusively for TONIC’s ‘Every T Counts’ initiative, will help raise funds for the cause by which it was inspired. “I am so pleased to be part of this collaboration with TONIC,” said Bartley. “I love how the proceeds from the t-shirts go to all sorts of different causes from helping kids in Columbia with dental care to protecting coral reef in the Pacific. It’s a cool and original way to give back and I think the design reflects that.”
The collection of bamboo and cotton blend t-shirts, which retail for $45 each, will be sold exclusively on TONIC’s website (www.tonicgen.com); 30% of every sale will be donated to the t-shirt’s designated program. All four Luella Bartley designs will be available on white v-neck t-shirts for women and black crewneck t-shirts for men.

Playboy has just released this limited edition collection of tees designed by indie favorites like Daft Punk, Duran Duran, Hot Chip, and New Young Pony Club.
The shirts are worth their weight in cred points and are definitely worth checking out cause proceeds from the shirts benefit Rock the Vote.
You can shop the tees, which retail for $39 bucks at Collette and at Shopthebunny.com.

Josephine Baker is one of my favorite feminine heroes.
Yes, she was a French exotic dancer, but few people in the world can make a banana skirt work on so many levels. We found this t-shirt at 80′s Purple featuring the style icon.
You can go bananas over it for $34 bucks.
