Maybe we should all buy hybrid cars?
Since that’s a bit of an expensive option, sweetskins.com have made being environmentally friendly a little bit easier by making clothes that don’t look ugly and are laregly made of either hemp or, and I’m being serious now, 2 litre drinks bottles. That’s right, drinks bottles. Apparently they remain “unbelievably soft” though, so who am I to question their planet saving ways.
Today’s recommendation is a new style for HYA, it’s a hoody, but not as we know it. It’s a wrap hoody!
I certainly haven’t seen one before, but then again, I don’t often hang around in womens clothing stores. Anyway, it looks pretty cool, and probably kinda ninja in the black version.

My one worry might be that this coupon is only meant to be available to newsletter subscribers, but I’m sure they won’t mind my little readership getting in on the action (dollars are dollars right?)
“Life, for ever dying to be born afresh, for ever young and eager, will presently stand upon this earth as upon a footstool, and stretch out its realm amidst the stars.”
H. G. Wells, The Outline of History, 1920
Totally.
This one is a bit pricier than the usual wearables that I recommend, but it’s just so darned good that it deserves mentioning, the design is fairly simple and cartoon-y, but that only adds to the attraction for me, and it looks as if its flock printed (or perhaps stitched felt?) for you know its taken a bit more time than a print, so it’s naturally going to be a bit more expensive.
Saltlick Jeni gave me a bit more information about their clothes, every shape is hand-cut and then hand stitched onto the item, so it takes a long time, so its damn good value really. Oh and Jeni also said she might be able to sort out a discount voucher for us, so if you’re thinking of buying anything just wait a day or two and you’ll probably make a saving
Costiness=$98 from Saltlick NYC.
An imaginary prize to anyone who gets the reference in the title (real prizes when this is a big-blog).
It feels kinda counter-ideology to post a hoody made by Hurley, since they’re a giant company (compared to the independents that I usually promote), but I like the hoody so it deserves a spot.
The placement of the print is interesting, I assume they were going for a “failed DIY screenprinter” look by just throwing the print in the ‘wrong’ place and at a bit of an angle. To top it off they’ve put some text on the back, on the upper right shoulder, I got way too excited when I noticed that, maybe I should just wear all my clothes backwards and then I’d always have a design on the back?
Costiness=$27.25 (half price, and $1 shipping this week only) available from Pacsun.
I really can’t help myself from helping out girls, just yesterday the really hot girl from next door asked for a bin (trash) bag, and did I give her one (yep, I went there)? No, I gave her two, because if a girl smiles at me I will do anything.
Now Diane from Boppo Clothing (that’s her up there I think… on the left) didn’t ask me for a bin bag, or even for me to mention her tee designs, but she wrote such a nice e-mail telling me how awesome I am that a post was the least I could do. She doesn’t actually sell anything with sleeves, but the tees are damn fine and super cheap too, with prices around $10 before shipping and handling.
Reminder to all store owners out there, I’m not elitist in any way, point me towards your store and I will check it out, you can find my e-mail on the contact page.
