ShinyStyle loves: Fashion tees from MoreTVicar.com

Madonna Smoking Tee

A classic T-shirt is such an important thing to have in your wardrobe – and thanks to the likes of Jil Sander, a simple T-shirt is a serious fashion staple at the moment. There’s no better way to declare your love for something loud and proud than wearing it on a T-shirt, and as you know, we’re crazy about fashion. Luckily, style is something that T-shirt store MoreTVicar.com caters to well, with a huge selection of tees ranging from vintage designs to silly cartoon prints.
We’re completely crazy and head-over-heels for their fashion-inspired tees. Love the 90s? Why not tell the world with a cool black-and-white printed tee of Christy Turlington smoking a cigarette, or harp back to the 80s with a classic Madonna print. As icons go we’re totally obsessed their Kate Moss T-shirts and vests, which feature some of her best black and white beauty shots. It’s the best way to pay tribute to Mossy.
Or if wearing a supermodel on your chest isn’t your bag then maybe you’d like to show your appreciation for one of their cool musical icon tees instead with a John Lennon portrait tee or an Elvis one, to channel a classic rock and roll look. All you need is T-shades and a biker jacket and you’re good to go.

Trend Alert: Blouses

By emilyborrett on August 11th, 2011

Nishe Jewel Pussybow Blouse

We love this opulent jewel-printed blouse - so on trend! Wear with a maxi skirt and some huge earrings for a dramatic look. Find it Asos.

One of the absolute staples that you will definitely need this autumn is one of my favourites: the blouse. Pussybow, sheer, printed or oversized – they’re absolutely key for your Autumn/Winter wardrobe. Pick the right one and it’ll see you the whole way through to the next year.

Marc Jacobs, Jean-Paul Gaultier and Jonathan Saunders all included feminine, old-fashioned blouses that walked the line between austere and sexy in their collections. We were especially big fans of Jonathan Saunders’ jewel-coloured silk high-necked blouses, which, teamed with a skinny pencil skirt and heels, were glorious. If you want to kill two trends with one stone then opt for one in an unusual, quirky print, as pattern and shape are the two absolute key words for this season.

Our favourites? Personally, I’m a big fan of American Apparel’s illustration-print blouses and Topshop’s quirky 60s pastel-pink blouse with a peter pan collar (you know how I’m a sucker for anything disgustingly retro). Check out the gallery for our favourite blouses from the high street.

Famous Forever launches Monster Munch retro Tee

By Andrea Petrou on November 26th, 2009

Monster.jpgRetro t-shirts have been around for a good few years now, and we can’t see the trend dying out in the near future.

This may be because we like to have certain things that remind us of our childhood (I have a Rainbow Brite one that does exactly that) or because of the sheer number of celebs who opt for these when they want a casual look.

Hot off the retro t-shirt press is this fun and kooky Monster Munch tee by Famous Forever featuring the iconic Monster Munch bunch. And yes, I’ll definitely be getting one of these, afterall no childhood was complete without the pickled onion flavour.

Buy it now from Truffle Shuffle.

If Sesame Street was more your thing then check out our gallery for t-shirts and sweatshirts here.

Bargain Pick of the Week: Editor’s choices from the Anthropologie sale

By Andrea Thatcher on January 22nd, 2009

Anthropologie sale.jpg

This Colette cardigan, $59.95 down from $118, is just perfect for someone with a vintage sensibility. It would accentuate some curves nicely. The It Prada lace has nothing on this Magic Words Blouse, $49.95 down from $98. And while there are several great spring dresses on sale, my favorite is this Iskaldur dress, $149.95 down from $298. I love the color and the print, which is a really understated take on floral. Even on sale it’s not the cheapest pick, but it is 100% silk with a silk lining as well.
