The Penningtons spring look book is out and they have really stepped up their tee and tank tops a notch. I see stripes galore, ruffles, lace, color blocking, and a drawstring here and there. I especially like the color blocked tops and the striped tanks paired with their co-ordinated cardigans.
Stop by Penningtons for a look into spring. Prices range from $26 to $50 and it looks like sizes go up to 5x.

It feels like a t-shirt day. And Threadless is where I go for my novelty tees. As much as I have loved Threadless the last few years, I think they should spend less time expanding on other products and increase their t-shirt sizes to 4x. In the meantime some of their guy styles go up to 3x and their girly styles go up to 2x. This week here are two of my favorites this week:
First up is Birds Of A Feather by Ross Ziet ($20). An excellent visual interpretation for an old proverb.
Then there is the light in the dark with Tyger Tyger, Burning Bright by Ian Leino ($20) which personifies a bit of creepiness with cool.

Get ready! Threadless is having a $10 t-shirt event on Thursday at 10 am CT. They recommend filling up your cart ahead of time because favorites will be going fast. I’ve been dying to get the Fail tee (by Budi Satria Kwan) but every time I go to get it it’s either sold out of my size or completely dormant. I’m so happy it’s back in reprint.
Why do I like it? It makes me smile and smiling makes me happy. I don’t know about you but I need all the happy I can get. There are lots of fun, political, and down right pretty (as well as pretty silly) designs to choose from. Most will go up to 3x, some only 2x. Have fun!

Out of the new shirts Threadless released this week the “Peace” tee by Andy Gonsalves was my favorite. It’s blue (yes, blue is my favorite color), it is so simple, and it’s cute — tell me you won’t smile the next time you see a dove.
This image actually brought up a childhood memory of sitting on an iron fence at my aunt’s neighbor’s with her grandson Wayne. Every time a vehicle drove by, and it was often, we would scream at the top of our lungs, “Peace, brother!”
This Threadless tee is available in sizes up to 3x (no the model in the insert isn’t plus size, the image is just to show design placement) for $18.

Every week for the last five years I have been sharing my favorite things over at PlusShe.com. Once day a loyal reader let me know how disappointed she was she could not make a purchase at one of the places I mentioned because they did not deliver to Canada. I then realized how important a sister site was so PlusShe.ca was born.
Here are some Canadian shops and shops outside Canada to get you started. Be sure to sign up for my daily updates.
