New Johnny Cupcakes Tees!

These are two new Johnny Cupcakes tees for the summer.  On the blog it said they would be up today or the latest tomorrow.  Well they weren't up today, so hopefully they will be posted tomorrow!  In total there are five new tees being released.

So I chose the Jaws shirt because I think it is fun and witty.  This shirt is obviously poking fun at the famous movie, Jaws.  I appreciate the bib on the shark, as well as, the Johnny Cupcakes logo on the back with a big shark bite missing.  I think this is a fun summer tee which will get people to smile (especially if you wear it on Martha's Vineyard where the movie was filmed).  In the same regard you may get some older folks confused as to how Jaws and cupcakes fit together.  Either way this t-shirt is the perfect way to kick off the summer, so go pick it up before anyone.

The other shirt I chose to share was just a purple logo tee.  There isn't anything exciting about this one, but it is classically Johnny Cupcakes and I love the color.  The color is fresh and fun for this summer.

If you like these tees check the site tomorrow, hopefully they will be up.  Enjoy!

Loomstate: "Light As Air"


Let me just start by saying I love Loomstate. To get down to the nitty gritty, Loomstate was founded on the idea of creating incredible clothes using certified organic cotton while using socially and environmentally responsible methods of production. The company was actually started in 2004 by Rogan Gregory and Scott Mackinlay Hahn.
Loomstate's design approach is found on a respect for our environment's ability to balance, shape, and color itself, from the windswept dunes to sun beach stones, combined with an appreciation for nature's mathematically pure "Golden Ratios", evident throughout our environment from nautilus shells to flower petals.
After reading that I am sure you can see how this tee shirt does just what they are trying to do. This tee is called "Light As Air" and also comes in charcoal with red birds. I personally like the pitch black design with the purple colored birds. I recently am into purple I think it is so underused and with the black it just looks awesome to me. Having a few Loomstate tees I can assure you that these are very comfortable and have a great fit to them.

What I love about this design is the freeness (that's not a word) portrayed and the simplicity. You almost feel while looking at it that you want to be at the beach flying with the birds, and in fact when looking at this I almost feel as "Light As Air". I also like how the design is very raw and looks almost like it is a one of a kind print.

One thing to note about Loomstate is that there stuff is not cheap. This particular t-shirt goes for $60 while others go for $62. There is the exception of a Haiti Tee which is going for $25. All I can say is yes the price is rather steep, but you also have to consider that the t-shirts are made with 100% organic cotton and made in the most ethical ways possible. When buying this tee you are supporting a company which is doing some great stuff for the world we live in. I hope you enjoy this!
