Hope you all didn’t miss me too much! I’m still here. . . And I’m BACK! With some Good New Tees for your wearing pleasure. This one’s my favorite. It’s called “Missing!!!” and the guy that drew the poster found out later that his bike wasn’t stolen, but TOWED, because he had chained it to a fence with a “no bikes” sign on it. Haha! Here’s the original design that appears on the white tee. It comes in girly sizes too. Just buy it.:

I’ve found my new favorite online store. It’s actually more of a print/design company that happens to sell shirts with some of their designs on them. If you’re into making political, sarcastic, or encouraging statements with your clothing, you need to check my Screen Print Shirts, Mens + Unisex buyer’s guide on Kazowie. Some are a little un-PC, but in a humorous way. The designs are straightforward and clean, with as few distracting images as possible, which makes the printed message even clearer. The designs are screen printed onto unisex American Apparel tees, which means A.) they’re comfy and B.) they can be worn by guys and girls alike. So that’s cool.

Shown (L-R): Black Shirt, Grey Shirt, Yellow Shirt.

Summer is quickly approaching. And if you’re planning a trip to So-Cal or any otherwise “hip,” young, warm-weather destination, I’d advise that you don’t let yourself be caught dead without a slick new fedora atop your head. Whether you’re a chick or dude, I’ve got you covered with my hip hat picks for guys and girls on Kazowie. Happy hat hunting!

Kidrobot, designer and retailer of art toys and apparel, has been around for 7 years and, since then, has collaborated with top international artists to create hundreds of limited edition, collectible toys that merge urban/street trends with fashion and pop art. Kidrobot doesn’t stop at toys, either. Founder, Paul Budnitz introduced vibrant men’s and women’s apparel lines in ’06, along with tons of Kidrobot accessories to choose from (keychains, books, backpacks, shoes, home décor, jewelry, posters . . . The list goes on).

That all being said, I love the unique aesthetic of the entire Kidrobot collection and have compiled lists of my favorite picks on Kazowie. You should definitely check ‘em out:

POLL: Whose clothing line do you like better, Aubrey’s or Paris’s? VOTE NOW!

My friends utter the name Aubrey O’Day at least once every time I see them. So, while I only have a vague idea of who she is (I think “Making the Band”? Danity Kane? Is that right? Someone help me here), it still surprises me that I just discovered today that she has a clothing line. And surprise: it’s actually pretty cute. I would definitely consider wearing some of these items. The line’s called “Heart on my Sleeve by Aubrey O’Day,” and it features t-shirts, undies, and accessories for guys, girls, kids, and dogs (interesting) with hearts on the sleeves. (O’Day says that so many people have told her she wears her heart on her sleeve, so she went literal with it. Tads skeptical that she came up with the concept on her own, though).

CariDee English and Jaslene Gonzalez (winners of ANTM Cycles 7 & 8, duh) model some of the clothes, which I’m loving, (except CariDee kinda sucks). I’m liking that the clothes all have the same sayings on them, regardless of whether they’re for men or women (a.k.a. “After him the fairytale was over” and “I love men,” with the”n” crossed out). I also dig the canvas bag, but I’m not so sure there should be a comma in the sentence printed on it. Hmm…??? Either way, I want these tops. They rule. Let’s. Get it.

After taking no more than three steps into a hip-looking new store on Haight in SF, I promptly walked out. Today, upon seeing the store featured in a spread in the March ’09 issue of 7×7 Magazine, my initial impression that RVCA carried only menswear was proven inaccurate. This self-proclaimed “lifestyle brand,” sits pretty on a platform “which combines art, music, fashion and a modern lifestyle in an original way,” according to its website.

At first glance, some of the clothes at RVCA may seem a bit basic-looking, but upon closer inspection, you’re sure to find, as I did, that art and fashion are of equal importance to this company. The featured artists from the Artist Network Program have designed some pretty detailed and unique pieces for RVCA.Take this “Opposites SS T,” for example:

At first glance, it’s just a yin yang symbol. But zoom in,

and you’re in for a gruesome awakening!
