I’ve just discovered Caroline Gardner’s new range of humorous cards and need to share. Nothing to do with personalised t-shirts, hoodies (much needed in sudden tempest) or any other kind of T-Shirt Studio products, but it’s a horrid cold day, I’ve had to light a fire it’s that disgusting and the recycling’s blowing past the window and I honestly can’t be bothered to go and chase it.
So, take a look at this range of cards. I honestly think it’s the funniest selection I’ve come across in ages. Possibly ever. And let’s hope the sunshine returns and we can go out in t-shirts and freckles again very, very soon!

Quite honestly it’s far too hot today to be thinking of clothing. Even light bits of clothing like vest tops and tees. (Ew, sticky!) I did try to turn my mind to all things t-shirt related, and all I could come up with was “Don’t Wear Anything” which, quite apart from being pretty rubbish fashion advice, could also see you arrested for exposing yourself.
This has to be the day for casting aside your sartorial cares and going and sitting in the sunshine with some pink drink. Pink drink is a recent discovery, and my new favourite thing. It comes in handy tins, with one measure of gin per can, so you can measure how much you’re drinking (v handy and responsible, esp in this weather).
I promise I’ll be back on the hunt for all things personalised tomorrow, in the meantime, it’s back to do a bit more horizontal gardening! (burp!)

I think every summer wardrobe, both male and female, should have a classic nautical style t-shirt. Somehow, you just can’t go wrong with an old stripey tee and a splash of faded denim; it just has something so French Rivera about it.
This t-shirt by Oliver Spencer, available from Mr Porter has that look about it where you just know it’s going to become an instant favourite. The colour is the perfect old navy, with double stripes all over and a chest pocket. This is man fashion at it’s best. Totally easy, yet nice and classy, and will go with anything. £65 might seem like a lot for a t-shirt (actually it IS quite a lot for a t-shirt!) but I think this is one that you’ll get enough wear out of to justify the price tag*
*is it just me, or does everyone get an annoying Jessie J earworm when that phrase is mentioned? I think it should be banned NOW!

Rick Owens has to be the designer of choice for totally laid back, ultra cool clothing. More drapey than a roomful of curtains, his clothes exude supermodel style.
I love this t-shirt, available from Mr Porter for a mere…well, maybe don’t ask…..! Silk blend, short sleeve, really long line with a sleeve at the back. This tee will make you feel like Brad Pitt, only better.

Chiddy Bang in Sweatshirt!
Mr Porter has a brand new gimmick this week, showcasing their new ranges on a selection of hip and trendy bands. Bands such as Citizens! New Look, Spector and Francois and the Atlas Mountains (I’ve ever heard of any of them, but then I am not hip and trendy, and ever was) all sport this seasons new garb. Ever savvy with the marketing, Mr Porter gets the young, successful and up and coming to model their ranges, keeping them up to the minute, and wonderfully current.
I have to say, I find Mr Porter prices a bit scary (who wouldn’t, when a t-shirt costs the same as a weekly supermarket shop), but they do have nice stuff.
I like this vintage sweatshirt by Swedish brand Our Legacy, modelled by one of Chiddy Bang (don’t know which one, but the one in the sweatshirt if that helps). Nicely old looking, comfy and a instant favourite. Eighty five quid though? You’d have to resign yourself to plain toast all week if you wanted it. But it might just be worth it!

There can be nothing more tantalising to hoards of screaming young women than the sight of Kenny from South Park absolutely naked without his orange hooded cagoule to protect him. Sadly however, the women will have to scream in vain, as poor Kenny is the only character not to appear naked on a new series of t-shirts designed by Marc Jacobs in aid of skin cancer awareness.
The range is a collaboration between Jacobs and New York University and features the likes of Cartman and Randy Marsh in the buff accompanied by the slogan “Protect Your Largest Organ”. Jacobs said “I really wanted to do Kenny, but [South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone] said there was absolutely no way they were going to let me use Kenny” Shame, it would be kind of interesting to see what’s going on under that hood. And the ladies would go wild.
The t-shirts are available from Marc by Marc Jacobs stores, and follow on from hugely successful past campaigns featuring the likes of Victoria Beckham and Dita von Teese, who have also been photographed in their designer birthday suits for skin cancer awareness.

Completely nailing the pastel and print trend, at mega affordable prices is Lavish Alice, with a brilliant selection of prints and patterns. The fruit print vest is a direct descendant of Dolce and Gabanna’s summer range, whilst the little bird print vest is perfectly Prada.
Wonderfully, the prices are almost teeny, with £20 for each of these little beauties. Just enough to pop on with jeans to embrace this season’s trend without feeling as though your bank manager is personally going to come round and squeeze every last drop out of you.

I do like a bit of Lego, in particular this recreation of arch baddie and frail old tyrant Rupert Murdoch being custard pie-d during the phone hacking hearings.
Pie Eyed!
check out the rest of the year’s events, all Lego-fied and enjoy a nice bit of nostalgia!

**it's behind you!
I know that revenge is meant to be sweet, but this is just plain sticky and revolting. A woman in the states was tattooed with a steaming poo complete with flies buzzing around it, by her ex boyfriend who had discovered her cheating on him with his best friend. Not a teensy weensy blink and you’ll miss it, kind of tattoo, but right over her back. Ew. The woman is suing her ex unsurprisingly, saying he got her drunk and promised to tattoo something very different on her. A scene from Narnia, apparently (the scene where Aslan does a big plop?) What a disaster.

Bag or Fish?
Marks and Spencers are in the soup (bouillabaisse?) for causing a stink with a handbag this week. The silver, metallic effect little number is emitting a large dose of eau de kipper, much to customers distaste, and a number of the offending pieces of arm (not)candy have been returned to the store, a M&S spokesman confirmed.
Perhaps the bag, which costs an unlikely £25 is held together with Copydex or something. For that kind of money, it can’t be made with leather and has probably been glued rather than sewn. One might hope that M&S, a great British company would be above such things. Let’s just hope their staple undies are a little fresher.
