//T-shirts + Jewels//

Sometimes, a baggy t-shirt and some glamorous jewels is all you need to make it work.

Obama Merch Overload!

The Obama folks have finally added a bunch of new designs — from actual, big-time fashion designers — to their store, and boy howdy are they...sorta cool! I'm about ready to whip out the ol' plastique and order up at least one of these babies — maybe more. One for each debate? Some are pretty cool, and some are just, like, Sarah Palin–style HUH??



Nanette Lepore's hope/anchor tee, $65, with kicky little ribbon. I feel like I'd wear this with other stripes somehow, and maybe a slouchy hat of some sort? Is that weird?



Lutz & Patmos's cardigan, $60. So subtle and lovely. Let's get a detail shot of the rising sun, shall we?



If I didn't have at least four other gray cardigans, I'd probably buy this. Or maybe that means I will really wear it and must have it?



Rachel Roy's "Be the Change" scarf, $95. I love this, but the slogan she's selling is a little gramatically suspect, and we all know I can't have that. Be the change you want to see in the world? Be the change? Really? I'm afraid I just don't know what that means. UPDATE: It's a Gandhi quote. So I officially withdraw my silly snarkiness. Thanks for the tip, smarter reader!



Rag and Bone "Change is Awesome" tote bag, $75. Now that makes sense. Simple, direct, powerful. And this bag? Awesome indeed!



Zac Posen's "Dare to Dream" tank, $45. I like the sentiment behind this one. I hate the defeatist liberal attitude that I hear all too often lately; you know, the "McCain's gonna win" bullshit. Fight it!



Pharrell Williams's "Obama Stands Out from the Crowd" men's tee, $60. Not sure why "Obama" is placed in a sea of white faces. This one seems a leeeeetle bit under-thought-out. Stands out from the crowd of whom?



Maria Cornejo's organic "Change" tee, $60. Again, Obama looks white. Curious.



Charles Nolan's "Change is Good" wrap shirt, $70. At first glance, this is interesting. Then you realize that anyone wearing this is basically saying to the world, "You'd have to be locked-in-a-straitjacket CRAZY to vote for Obama!" which, really, is not very on-message.

Many more options, including OMG Marc Jacobs puts his name on another tote bag, here. And remember, folks, you're making a donation to the campaign, so don't fret too hard about dropping sixty bones on a T-shirt.

There's also a plethora of fun Obama pins here, no matter what your niche voting block may be.



Emo for Obama button, $1.



Cats for Obama button, $2.50.



And here's a silkscreened Obama tie! Perfect for riling up the old people (Republicans) at the next wedding you have to attend!



Boyfriend say that tie is ugly, like mine did? Get him this Obama brooch, $48. Cool and subtle.

Then again, maybe you like McCain? There are some fashion options for you, too.



Palin and co. shirt, uh, SORRY! It's satire. Oh wells! Try this one instead:



"Nope" tee, $22.

GOBAMA!

OH LA LA!

"Wow!!", you say, "Not a style icon hunt post? Have I come to the right blog? Because this just isn't right!!" Well, believe it or not, this is a post where there will be no celebrities what so ever, of any shapes or sizes, and there will be no contest and you will not have to make the very hard decision on who is the best dresser. I understand that it can get quite boring with the same thing going on all the time, so therefore I will try to spice things up in between and post great philosophical and psychological thoughts which every so often dawn upon me. Ehh..no, sorry can't promise you that...but I'll definitely promise you my thoughts, opinions and rantings of everything superficial, juicy and of course..the very serious fashion world!

After a long and hard period of studying, exams etc. I have decided to reward myself with something. And I have had my eye on these t-shirts from http://houseofholland.co.uk/ for a veeeery loooooooong tiiiiiime. And when I say a long time, I mean a loooooooooooooooooong time. BUT which one to choose?? They are all so on-the-edge saucy and sexy, and I don't know if I want to cause Hedi Slimane pain, make Giles Deacon get his freak on, say UHU to Gareth Pugh or do Christopher Bailey daily? A tough choice which will need a lot of thought put into it because the message on the shirt can change your life. What if I, one day walking down the street, suddenly walk past Giles Deacon and I am wearing the "UHU Gareth Pugh" t-shirt...then I have missed out on seeing Giles Deacon getting his freak on. And what if I meet Christopher Bailey and I am wearing the "Cause me pain Hedi Slimane"...uh oh, no Christopher Bailey to do me daily. So you see the hard choice I have to make...

But word on the street says that the talented and fabulous designer of these t-shirts, Henry Holland, is making new shirts. And they aren't bad let me tell you...they are hot!! Especially this one...

...because who can't resist Anna Sui's gorgeous materials and designs?? Okay, maybe one of you reading this can, but I definitely can't...

...so maybe I'll just have to wait even looooooonger...!
