Awesome!

You've been warned

Dear Chicago and New York,

While I know it's still cold and you're ready for spring/summer don't wait to visit your tank top collection! It was a surprising 80 degrees out this weekend in SF and I was not expecting it. I now you're probably thinking I'm evil by waving my awesome weather in your face. I promise I'm not! I'm sending you a WARNING!

I spent thirty minutes digging through piles of old tank tops that for some reason or another were unwearable which caused me to be late for my brunch, which caused my puppy to pee on the floor waiting for me, which caused the boyfriend to become upset, which caused for a little unpleasantness for a bit. It was all better after a bit but to avoid such commotion happening to you I suggest you run out and buy yourself this tank top immediately.

Hugs,

Brandie

On second thought, no you can't

I feel like I've been posting about a lot of cute stuff lately, which is funny because my style is really sort of urban unhipster. Even though I adore lovely, delicate, girly things, I feel sort of like an imposter when I try to wear them. Instead, I live in jeans and hoodies and snarky t-shirts.

Oh, crap... maybe that is sort of hipsterish.

Anyway, I like this t-shirt design because it's completely inappropriate (like me). It's also made by a girl in her house, so you can feel good about supporting a cottage industry with your purchase. Her kids t-shirt is awesome too.

Actually, pretty much all her shirts and bags and buttons rock... including the hipster assassin one. Because, you know, it's ironic.

Anxiously awaiting warm feet

Four days ago, it was so warm and spring like that I was wearing flipflops and capri pants and flip-flopping around my neighborhood with abandon, like when spring came and all the woodland creatures crawled out of their logs and leaf huts and Bambi took his first steps.

Later that night, we got four inches of snow, and my heart shrunk five sizes.

What I really need are these sheepskin flipflops which combine my innermost desire for having my toes exposed with the necessity of not losing them to frostbite. At least until I can get a hold of Old Man Winter
, bludgeon him to death wit my ice scraper and bury his body in my backyard to fertilize my spring flowers.

Flip Your Lid

Though bad hair days can be traumatic, they're easily defeated with a jaunty hat, ponytail holder, or some industrial-strength pomade. But, friends, what about those "bad head days"? Sure, you can put teabags on your puffy eyes, or slap some concealer on your stress breakout, but who has the time in the morning? THERE'S GOT TO BE A BETTER WAY!

That's where Headhoods come in. With clever designs printed strategically on American Apparel hoodies, Headhoods allow you to change your head whenever the mood strikes (plus, it's a lot less creepy and a lot more efficient than keeping a hall of heads, like ol' Princess Mombi from Return to Oz). You could have Breakfast at Tiffany's with the Audrey Hepburn style, or go bananas and try on a gorilla.

Me? I'd like to put on the Queen of Hearts head. And say off with yours.

Me fifth element - supreme being. Me protect you.

Everyone probably knows who Milla Jovovich is from the Fifth Element, her Maybeline commercials, strutting down the cat walk almost nude or little less known her career as a folk musician (I own this and love it).

Now that she's done just about everything else you would expect the  little entrepreneur to start doing drugs, overdosing or hanging out in jail because her success is to much for her. Instead of becoming the next Kate Moss Milla decided to come out with a fashion line a bit ago with her best friend, how cute is that? When I looked at the prices of some of her stuff though I didn't think that was very cute.

Luckily Target is scooping up all these awesome designers to have them make affordable clothing for people like me who don't have to worry about getting stressed out over having to much money or being overly successful. Yesterday her line Jovovich/Hawk went live on Targets site. The pieces are great so I recommend scooting your boot over there so you can grab a piece from the supreme being.

Fat days are happy days

Today for dinner I ate four fudge pops. I don't often eat like this but today I had a craving so I indulged and chowed down on FOUR fudge pops. They were fantastic.  Then I got that feeling, that feeling of good grief my stomach may explode and cover the world with fudge pop spooge. After my disgusting thoughts I remembered that I needed a new dress for a coming event. Since I had fudge belly on the brain every dress I looked at left me wondering how many people would ask me if I was having twins. 

Well luckily I found a gorgeous dress that would allow me to eat 20 fudge pops without anyone ever knowing that my gut was hanging out. Oh the beauty of modern fashion. Did I mention it has pockets to hide gummy bears in too?!

With dresses like this every day should be a fat day.

Pills?! You mean you really are taking drugs!

What were you doing on a Saturday morning 15 years ago? You were probably watching the greatest show ever made, the show that inspired this shirt.

But do you remember the name of the girl's band?? Come on, you can remember. Think real hard.

 

If you're hurtin for some nostalgia this morning, here's the original scene we all know and love.

Miss South Carolina

For all of you who can't seem to forget Miss South Carolina, well, you're not alone.

'Twas the Days After Christmas...

So, I think we can all agree that the best thing about the days right after Christmas is not that sense of relief that you don't have to fake eating your crazy Aunt Paula's corn stuffing casserole for a whole year, or that stores have stopped playing the Josh Groban holiday CD, or even that the fat, drunk men on the street corners who cat-call you every time you pass by aren't wearing ridiculous Santa outfts anymore. No, I think we can all agree that the best thing about the days following Christmas is the awesome After Christmas SALES!! Sales like the one at JCrew.com where all marked-down items are an additional 20% off until January 1st!

Dudes, that means that these super cute shoes--so cute, I could lick them--are 20% off $69.99, which is something, like, I don't know, twenty bucks or something like that! I mean, basically. Almost. And this coat is practically affordable now! And the vintage cords I tried on a couple months ago and put back on the rack because I was too cheap to pay full price! And now! They're cheap! Score for me.

The birds!

Question: Why do I hate the telephone?

Answer: Because SCARY BIRDS COME OUT OF IT AND GNAW ON YOU!@#$

Mood clothing

It's not often a shirt comes along that can mean all things to all people, but here you go.

Choose your current mood wisely, then change it whenever you like. (Or, if you really want to make a statement, buy two and fuck the world for the win.)

We don't just heart it

My mom's been visiting Chicago for the first time this week and when she stepped off the plane she got what all the fuss is about: Chicago is an amazing city!

We have everything you could want: Water, tall buildings, great coffee, deep dish pizza, bike trails, and oh yeah, some sports teams and stuff. Visit just one time and you may immediately want to move here, even despite the traffic.

If you're a proud Chicagoan or know someone who is, pick up this shirt to show off that Second City pride. New York can keep it's hearts, we've got our stars.

Cap Confessions

I know you want to pretend like you don't like these hats, but I also know that every time you watch Real World Road Rules Challenge and all the girls are wearing them, you're secretly wondering where to get one. You've tried searching online but you don't know what to call it, you never see them in stores so you don't know where all those girls got theirs.

It's ok, just admit it. You want to go buy this army style hat. We know how you feel, we all watch The Challenge. Some of us even Tivo it.

Cover up!

If you're like me, you'd probably desire nothing more than just running around your house or apartment in your underwear all the time. But maybe, like me, you have windows that face neighbors' windows or look out onto the street, or maybe you have roommates. Or maybe you don't own any underwear, I don't know.

So! Why not try the next best thing and get one of these light weight kimono robes to slip into after you shower or are just goofing off around your home. If you're still running around in your terrycloth number, it's time to pack that away for a few months! It's Spring! It's time for flowers to bloom and trees to bud and for the birds and bees to do their thing. And it's definitely time for you to cover up already. Seriously, the neighbors are watching.

You are what you wear

My friends at Naive Clothing are having an awesome sale this week! Look at all the great stuff they've marked down, like this Serenity shirt for women that's $12 and this long sleeve men's shirt for $13!

I'm a big fan of Naive because their clothes are so comfy and have such awesome designs. These days it's nice to wear something that doesn't look like it was designed by an out of work college dropout with too much time and a pirated copy of Photoshop lying around.

And when I say "my friends at Naive clothing" I mean, Hey guys, can I have some free shirts?

I Star Chi.

"Somehow people must be free,
I hope the day comes soon.
Won't you please come to Chicago,
To show you face.

From the bottom of the ocean
To the mountains of the Moon.
Won't you please come to Chicago
No one else can take your place."

Make something!

My clock says I got one hour to go and here we have post number three!

Product blogs were always a bit of an odd thing to me and yet here I am writing for one (although it's totally the coolest one out there!). Of course I'm not about to turn all wussy on you guys. After all, we all like stuff and anyone who says they don't is a lying pinko commie hippie who hates America. But sometimes we can get a bit carried away with our consumerism.

Sure you can buy a $300 "distressed" sports coat with hipster patches and crazy stitching and considering yourself cooler for it. Or you can buy/borrow/find a cheap old sports coat and put your favorite and meaningful patch on it instead. It's a one-of-a-kind piece and it cost 10 cents for some thread to get it done!

Recently, I came across a sheet of iron-on letters I got from American Eagle Outfitters at no cost (ok there was a cost incurred on my soul) when I was unpacking from my move. At that moment inspiration struck and I dragged out my old $10 hoodie I got from Target years ago and slapped the letters on. Suddenly I had a brand new item in my wardrobe which cost very little but is totally unique and awesome. So get out there and make something already!

And with that, I'm spent... It's been fun kids and thank you Sarah for giving me this opportunity and maybe, if I can, I'd like to pop back on every now and then and drop some science, know what I mean?

Oh, you want to know what the letters say on my hoodie? They say "Still Rockin'" and I totally am.

Toodles,
Jesse!

Give a little bit

"The front page of the newspaper reports, "A woman raising three grandchildren lost her home of 27 years to fire Tuesday. With it went all of Helen Coley's possessions and those of grandchildren Tip Coley, 18, Precious Coley, 12 and Quinton Coley, 21. Fire Rescue confirmed the fire was caused by a wood-burning stove's small chimney that was loosely connected to the home's larger chimney. The heat leaking from the poor connection caused the wall to catch fire."

Had she known this match would take away what little she had, give her three days in a Red Cross hotel, this match that would once again put her family in the newspaper… but she didn't. All she knew was that it was cold, and her family needed warmth."

Rosa Loves makes T Shirts based on the life stories of real people, and the money from the sales of those shirts goes back to help families in need. We think this is way better than any other t-shirt company, ever.

You had me at "Attention Ladies"

There's not much else to say about this awesome shirt, except that it's baby blue. And has two sleeves and a neck, so it counts as a shirt.

And awesome.

Sock it to Me

I'm going to share a secret with you.

No, not that I have an affinity for stripes. You knew that, right?

I particularly am fond of unique socks, preferably of the stripey, knee-high variety. You can imagine my head exploding when I first came upon the Sock Dreams website a while back... especially when I found that they have an entire section dedicated to striped socks!

I won't admit that I peruse the pictures on this site just to feed my stripey sock obsession. Not at all.

Oh, and they have men's socks, too. But we're not here to buy for HIM...

If you don't get it, go watch Oprah

So. Do you get it? Because I didn't get it for a couple seconds, it being the work of Mule Design, people who are way to intellectual with their comedy for me sometimes.

But then I got it, and I chuckled mercilessly to myself for hours on end, every time I saw a red iPod or a red fleece pullover from the Gap, and I tell you what: I'm still chuckling.

Do you get it now? Then go get it.

Stones for Sale

Our very awesome friends at Mule are throwing a huge sale-a-thon in their Feed Store this holiday season! Almost every shirt is on sale for a mere $10.

$10 can get you a lot of things: two drinks at Starbies, an album on iTunes, five downloaded episodes of It's Always Sunny. But those things can't give you any cred, that's why you need to invest it wisely. Perhaps in the always awesome Colbert Has Stones, shirt?

But you know, keep on drinking that over-roasted coffee if you really think it makes you look good. PS: It doesn't kthanksbye.

Marconi plays the mamba.

As much as we don't like advocating Threadless' weird crew neck t shirts for girls, you just can't get any funnier than this shirt.

Get it?

See, because rock n' roll isn't structurally sound. It's sound all right, but it's not something you can actually build a structure on. Therefore, if an entire city were to be built on sound, it wouldn't be sound.

It just wouldn't work out, sorry to crush your dreams or whatever.

Brick killed a guy.

"Discovered by the Germans in 1904, they named it San Diego, which of course in German means 'a whales vagina'."
"No, there's no way that's correct."
"I'm sorry, I was trying to impress you. I don't know what it means. I'll be honest, I don't think anyone knows what it means anymore. Scholars maintain that the translation was lost hundreds of years ago."
"Doesn't it mean Saint Diego? "
"No. No."
"No, that's - that's what it means. Really."
"Agree to disagree."

 

Yessica

Finally! An awesome design by and independent artist that isn't on a fucking t shirt! How did no one do this before!

Oddica's got it going on, plus they sell their designs on hoodies and women's tanks too! Its like, Why are all those other shops stopping at t shirts?

Obviously they're dumb.

Around the clock

If I ever have kids of my own meet someone who's having their own kids, I'm so getting them this adorable little baby pullover hoodie from Oliebollen.

And then I'm going to get these little baby cowboy booties, and this cute little Warhol-inspired onesie, and this oh-so-hip screen printed baby tee.

God, what in the world is that sound??? It's like some really loud ticking or something, jeez. That is totally annoying, can someone stop it please? Thanks.

Editor's Favorite: Green!

Last week, I posted about awesome things in awesome orange.  This week, it's all about my other favorite color: green!  Check out these supah cool finds:

Pod Person Parskid Hand Towel.  I have no idea what a pod person parskid thingy is, but it sure is cute!

Sublime boots from Plueys.  It's been rainy in Chicago all day and I'm wishing I had these fun rainboots to go stomping around in.

Green Apple Casserole.  Seriously, who knew cooking appliances could be so fucking adorable!!

Great wallets from Super Maggie and DB Clay.  Makes me wish even more that I had a need for a wallet.  Being broke is lame.

Grass Green fitted jersey.  It's even got a boatneck--thank god!

Mint Green Fused Glass Pendant.  Le sigh.

Tumbleweed Print Duvet Cover. Makes me think I should get a duvet?

And how can we feature a post about green without nodding to everyone's favorite herb?  Check out Marijuana-Logues, a live comedy show on pot culture.

Sponsor Highlight: Snazzy Girl!

Our current sponsor, Snazzy Girl, doesn't just have awesome things for chicks, like these pretty pendants (on sale!),  this Red Camper purse made from vintage 35mm slides, and this "50's sex kitten" dress, it also has products for men, like this stylish Hockey Card belt, a one-of-a-kind handcrafted collage-of-a-belt made from reconstructed hockey cards perfect for funking up a jeans-and-tee combo.  Snazzy Girl also has awesome home stuff, paper goods, and even stuff for your favorite pets!

EDITOR'S FAVORITE: ORANGE!

As long as it isn't done in terrible taste, a la Jessica Simpson's skin tone, I LOVE the color orange!  And what better way to honor Favorites Month here at Awesome than to feature a bunch of cool orange shit?  So in no certain order, here are some awesome things I found in awesome orange:

Klops from Creature Co-op.  Klops is cute, he has one eye, he's awkward!  I'm in love.

The whole orange strip at The Carrot Box.  Scroll down here for all the pretty choices -- I especially love the flower!

A bowl scraper!  OMG, fucking genius. Scrape the bowl, then lick the scraper!!!

Ammo Bag from Wishingfish.  Way sexier than a fanny pack, more versatile than a purse or backpack, and totally practical with padded iPod/cell phone pocket  and easy headphone access.  Orange dots Included!

Atomic Clock from Chiassio.  Bursting with orange!

Stella Orange Tumblers from Relish.  Throw an orange cocktail party!  Invite me!!!  (I even have orange hair to go with the theme!).

Bright orange banana vases for a mere 12 bucks!  Fill them with orange calla lillies!

Orange Betty Tee with super cute green flowers.  Green!  My other favorite color!  And you know what else is orange and green?  Our book!  Have you bought your copy yet???

Becky's Favorite

  Here in Chicago we have this cute little restaurant called Kitschn on Roscoe where retro-inspired comfort food is served in a funky 70's-style environment.  My friends and I can dine upon gourmet mini-burgers and potpies amid magic 8 balls, lava lamps, and posters of Cheech and Chong as we analyze our respective relationships and wonder if we should be worried about wrinkles yet.

Awesome reader, Becky, wrote to tell us about a website that is not unlike this restaurant I go for trips down memory lane and brief rekindlings of my youth:
"My neighbor in Philly runs a really fun website:  Plaid Pony Vintage.  She sells vintage housewares, clothing, etc., but there's also some miscellaneous stuff on the site, like crazy 50s-era spam cake recipes."  I especially like this vintage nightgown, and can imagine myself floating around my apartment in it while drinking martinis and reading gossip rags.

Do you have a favorite site, shop, book, film, band, product, etc. you think everyone should know about?  Tell us about it!

April's Favorites!

Two more from my cousin and Awesome reader, April:

"The ION USB Turntable records you right to your computer.  With the included Audactity software, you can turn your records into MP3s, burn them onto a CD, create your own mixes, and edit out all the scratch and hiss sounds.

Also, the next time you listen to Nelly, visit the St. Louis Arch or shop in University City Loop on Delmar, represent with a T-shirt from StyLe.  In addition to the shirts for specific neighborhoods this St. Louis business also sells exciting slogans as 'East St. Louis, Feel the Magic,' and 'Where the Mullet Meets the River.'

I'm thinking of buying 'Hey, Windy City, Blow Me,' to wear the next time I see my dear Cousin Wendy.  Hey Wendy, can I borrow $18 plus shipping and handling?"

Editor's Note: Hey April, blow me.

Snakes on a shirt

My friend Bobby has set up an awesome shop to pimp his awesome Snakes on a Plane shirts.

At this point, I don't really think the movie matters, it's all about the paraphernalia.

Oh, and Samuel L. Jackson, it's all about him, too.

Philly Wendy's Favorite!

One of the things I love about writing for this site, is the guilt-free web surfing I get to do.  Searching for cool stuff to showcase and feature, I often get lost in a series of links that take me all over the place in a frenzy of mad, virtual window shopping.  Then, when I start to feel kind of bad that I'm clicking through sites full of cute bags and fun accessories instead of scrubbing the bathroom or exercising or watering the plants, I think, But this is my job, so it's okay!

That said, I love that you readers are making my job even more enjoyable with all your awesome tips this month, like this one from Wendy in Philly who suggests a shop called Art Star.  "This is a great store in Philly," she writes, "(with online shopping for those not lucky enough to live here) started by some art students who sell work by other artists on consignment. Hopefully you'll like their stuff!"

I love their stuff, especially this quirky birdie handbag that would go perfectly with my flighty personality.

Keep the reader tips coming!!

Woah, check out the summer sale going on at Oddica!

1 shirt for $20, 2 shirts for $30 or 3 shirts for $14 each!!

I know it's not *really* under $25 unless you buy just one shirt, but why fuss with semantics when there's an awesome sale involved?

Mother Effing Block Suckers!

Now listen all your mother effing cocksuckers, I don't want to hear nothing about no other cocksucking t-shirts you want to buy, there ain't no other cocksucking shirt you cocksuckers need than this mother effing cocksucking shirt, ok?

Plus it's Mike's cocksucking birthday, so go give him some cocksucking love.

Wait. That's not what I meant. It seems I don't know how to use that word properly.

QUESTION: WHY AREN'T WE FRIENDS ON MYSPACE?

Answer(s):

• Because I don't know you.
• Because I haven't seen you since high school and I don't even remember your name.
• Because you scare me.
• Because you gave me crabs.
• Because your band sucks.
• Because I hate you.

Insults sold separately.

Aches and Somersaults

This adorable onesie from Peek Keep with its screen print of blue birds and flowers and leaves and stuff is so cute it makes my ovaries do somersaults and my uterus ache.  Ache, I tell you.

Requisite Threadless Post

Gosh, whattaya know? Threadless has ten brand new designs for you to choose from this week! Like this lovely one, called "Decay." Lovely!

Here's the deal with Threadless: They're good people, we all know that, and their designs are pretty awesome, and the whole co-op designer/distributor thing they've got going? Nothing less than innovative for the t shirt industry, I say. But what gives with the crappy American Apparel shirts?

For us girls, I mean, the crew neck just ain't happening. I say we start a petition to get some scoop neck (or boatneck!) t shirts made with these same awesome designs, and we march on down to Chicago into the Threadless offices and demand representation! Hear hear!

Croc-A Doodle-Two

Ok, so maybe I was a little too harsh with my distaste for Crocs a while back. Now that they're making these adorable, functional and comfortable flip flops, I might just have to change my mind.

Just look at all those colors! Chocolate and light blue, red and pearl, black and khaki! It's enough to drive me wild with color coordinating options. And don't worry guys, these aren't just for the ladies anymore! But be careful, because one guy who reviewed these on Amazon said there was some...ahem...shrinkage with his pair.

I'm sure it was just the pool water.

You've Got Some 'Splaining to do

Here's a new design from one of our favorite t-shirt companies, Threadless.  The t-shirt's so cool, it even has a theme song.  Rock on.

Kelsea is a bitch

Apparently, there's a good story about this shirt, and whoever Kelsea was (or is?). But I can't figure it out, so let's just say the screenprint on this shirt is awesome.

It's super cheap and available in three colors and if anyone knows anthing else about it please tell. The suspense is killing me!

Droo-lightful

Now that we've got you outfitted in some cool t-shirts, it's time to talk about the kids in your life. 

That plaid button-down with the breast pocket Bobby wears every other day on his play dates and to the park and his visits to grandma?  Not so good!  Why don't you try dressing him in something a little more comfortable, cute, and age-appropriate that he can actually play in without looking like a little jr. banker-douchebag-in-training, something like this shirt from the Droo Collection.   

You can even get a matching shirt for yourself, and if the onesies like this don't send your uterus all a-flutter, I don't know what will...except maybe this, which, you know...sends everything all a-flutter. Hmm-mmm.

Namaste, and Good Luck

It seems like just yesterday that we were pimping another Mule t shirt, but how can we resist tell you about them when they're all so fucking awesome!?

This one is authentic Hanso Foundation gear, made with the pure cultured silken threads imported from the laboratories of the Dharma Initiative deep in the South Pacific. How Mule got them, I don't know, but I'm doing my best to find out.

Mule does it AGAIN, Vol 3

If you didn't see it, you won't get it, but if you saw it, oh, you get it.

So you should definitely get it.

Free veer Hoodie with Purchase!

This awesome blue fleece hoodie is yours free from Veer when you purchase any of their image disks through April 30! Just add a disc and a hoodie to your order and insert coupon code KERNCD01 at checkout.

A is for Awesome!

I have a soft spot for nerds and an even softer one for nerdy kids (you know the ones that always correct you? I can't help but love a smart ass) so I am partial to this fab shirt from 60 Bugs.

Hey! They also have A is for Awesome! For that truly happening baby in your life.

Resistance is Futile.

The folks at Iron-On Resistance make awesome silk screened clothing and accessories designed by independent artist. As they put it, "...we're interested in the tshirt as an art medium. With so little public space available for art some of us turn to a street sign, abandon building or overpass; we think shirts are just as good of a surface."

They make tanks, tees, neckties and tote bags, and even a few posters here and there. I'm particularly smitten with this great dress shirt, a crisp white button down peppered with an amazing silkscreen design for $100.

If you're looking for a way to support independent art and media, pick up a shirt from these guys. I guarantee you everyone will be asking where you got it, and after you tell them you can chalk it up as your good deed for the day.

Stock up on flip flops.

It's already springtime, which means summer is right around the corner. Get yourself ready by picking up a cute pair of flips like these:

Cute women's garden sandals from Old Navy in green or blue, $16.50 each.

J Crew's classic critter flip flops, $22.50. I own five pairs of these and attest to their greatness.

J Crew men's Madras flip flops, $24.50 and hot as hell. Trust me.

Men's leather flip flops from American Eagle, $29.50 and worth every dime.

Simple Fun Original Shirts

We could all use a nice simple t shirt, now couldn't we? How about one of these new ones from Bulwerks, a brand new shirt company but people I kind of don't really but sort of know.

But I don't, really. Just kind of.

Anyway! All their shirts are only $16, they're printed by hand (!!!) and they're guaranteed to ship the moment you place or order. (Or 48 hours therein.) So check them out! Pretty awesome, if you ask me.

Pretty, pretty awesome.

Now you're talking.

This is probably pretty much the best shirt ever printed in the history of the world. There is absolutely nothing else I can say about it other than AWESOME.

Not awesome: Neighborhoodies

You know how I feel about Neighborhoodies. I've written about them several times, I've begged you to go buy their shit, I've even told you about sweet deals on shipping. Well, my loyalty to Neighborhoodies has run its course and I have to say I will never order anything from them again.

This comes after a three week long battle to track a sweatshirt that cost me almost $100 - FOR A SWEATSHIRT - and being told today that although the item was to be shipped on January 5th, it hasn't actually been stitched as of January 17th. WHOOPS!
