To our American friends, I can’t remember if you understand the term ’satnav’, if not, it’s what we Brits call ‘GPS’. On the subject of GPS, last weekend I went to Manchester, but I forgot to grab my TomTom on the way out of the house, but then remembered that I had an iPhone, and the maps app guided us all the way to my friend’s house (admittedly, I had a friend telling me directions off the map, but still). Can you imagine if you had a time machine and went back even twenty years and showed them an iPhone, they’d probably be so amazed that they’d drop their Rubik’s cube in astonishment, and not just because you arrived using a freakin’ time machine.
Anywho, howie’s tee of the week takes us back to a dark time before GPS when we actually had to take notice of our surroundings and know where we were. I know that they need the ‘before satnav’ for the joke to make sense to people looking at the shirt, but I think it would work better as a design if they dropped the caption, though of course it wouldn’t be a jokey shirt then, just one with a few constellations on it. Not the cheapest of tees at £25 a pop, but organic cotton doesn’t come cheap.

I wrote about
Medicated Clothing back in August, and to be honest I haven’t seen or heard anything from them since, so it was a good thing that
Steve at OMG Tees posted about this beauty back in November (yep, I waded deep into my bookmarks for this post!).
You don’t see too many tees like this nowadays, this style used to be all the rage back in 2005, and I’m happy to see it making an appearance as we get towards the top end of the decade.

I was wondering to myself who I should finish the big celebrity marathon with, and decided that
Avril Lavigne was probably the best choice since I still had a few pictures of her left, and because she has been such a frequent subject of celebrity posts in the past.
The “Little Miss VIP” tee at the top is by Public Library, and I’ve managed to find it on sale, but its a Japanese site, so your mileage may vary. In the gallery there is also a few pics of Avril wearing a “Boys Like Girls” hoodie, they’re a band, so I guess you’d only buy that if you liked the band. There’s also two fairly non-descript grey hoodies with little stars on (one hoodie with red stars, the other with blue), which I doubt is anything really special and similar items can be found in a lot of high street shops, a t-shirt that I can’t quite make out the wording on, and lastly there is a black and white hoodie from her own clothing line, Abbey Dawn.
I hope you’ve enjoyed my sojourn into the world of celebrity blogging with a HYA slant, I enjoyed doing something a little bit different. Hopefully these posts will attract a whole new slew of readers who find the site through these celebrity posts, and then hopefully stick around for a little while and end up learning more about the wonderful world of independent clothing that is covered (… I still love that pun) on a daily basis here on Hide Your Arms.
I went to Helsinki for an afternoon once (I get around, don’t I?) and all I remember is a big church, eating reindeer carbonara, buying a reindeer rug that fell apart a few months later, and becoming sea sick… on land. We were on a cruise and when we got off at Helsinki I felt as if I was still on the boat, as if the ground was swaying from side to side like the ship was on the ocean, a very strange feeling indeed, and not one I’d want to repeat. Blurb by Mod Cloth:
Like something a Nordic pop star would wear, this printed hoodie by Heatherette has the plushest, richest faux-fur lining in the hood. Big pom poms, grey ribbed trim at the seams, and double breasted button detail add to the surprisingly cozy superstar appeal.
So, to those of you that have e-mailed me about faux-fur in the past, here you go.
