My love for Truly Sanctuary never ceases. Especially after they debuted their new young Bill Murray with the most killer 1970's stache ever tee. Hashtagwinning.

The husband slash wife duo behind Truly Sanctuary has created some of the very best screen printed tees for both adults and tiny sized humans. The quality of their shirts is amazing and the cool factor is extremely apparent. So, join the cool kids who sit in the back of the bus whilst wearing super rad tees from Truly Sanctuary.

How sweet are these pictures? I'm so glad it's finally spring summer (because we don't have a spring) weather here. It goes from 40 to 80 degrees, and right now, I'm okay with it. I needs that vitamin Dizzle on my face.

Anythatlastsentencesoundswrong, Once Upon A Story, an extremely wonderful shop on Etsy, sent Adrienne the most perfect mushroom tee in all of the forest. The shroom was hand cut and even hand stitched for the sweetest look. I could just eat this mushroom shirt up. ::side eye:: I mean, all that delicious cuteness.

Once Upon A Story specializes in hand made boy's clothing. From hand stitched and hand printed rowdy t-shirts to handsome little bow-ties, this shop is your go to site. I pretty much picked the girliest thing they had. One can never go wrong with a gender neutral mushroom shirt.

Truly Sanctuary GIVEAWAY CLOSED

THIS GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED. Congrats Marlene T.! You are the winner of the Truly Sanctuary giveaway!! Lucky you! I will be contacting you asap!

Truly Sanctuary is a t-shirt company that was sick of cutesy graphics. They wanted to make kid tees that are hip and adult tees that are beyond cool. And my fam wanted in on it. 

Truly Sanctuary let us choose our favorite tees to try out. Adrienne picked the brunette mermaid t-shirt that she thought looked just like her. I picked the Bill Murray graphic tee, for obvious reasons, and William wanted the Nintendo for life tee. 

Let me just tell you, this Bill Murray tee and I are now madly in love with each other. I heart it so hard. Not just because the Billster is my hero, but because this t-shirt is the softest ish I've ever worn. Like I could be homeless and pretty much live in this shirt, having to wear it over and over again. Like Groundhog Day, if you will. And I'd be okay with it.

T-shirts c/o Truly Sanctuary. Adrienne is also wearing a Head Candy crown, Old Navy jelly sandals and skirt. I'm wearing Steve Madden Camarro boots and Forever21 leggings.

Now it's your turn to rock the t-shirt of your choice from Truly Sanctuary! Just log into the Rafflecopter below (or make a new Rafflecopter account), and follow the directions for each entry.

Magic Is Something You Make

So, I saw online this super nifty idea to cut up old t-shirts and turn them into scarves. I don't know about you, but this got me extremely excited. Unused, old shirts transformed into hipster scarves? I'm almost positive Oprah would call this juicy idea a "full circle" moment. These make really great gifts for the holidays, so I'll share. Here we go:

You will need: 

-An old t-shirt without seams on the sides, preferably XL

-Scissors

-A tape measure (if you really want to be nit-picky). 

That's it. Cray cray, huh? Okay. I tried to make an illustration. Tried.

Step 1: Lay shirt flat and cut off the seam around the bottom. 

Step 2: Now you want to cut horizontal 1.5 inch strips, which are actually large circular loops. Cut all the way to the armpits.

Step 3: You are left with around 15 loops. Stretch them (like pulling taffy, I guess) so that the material curls up. Then, voila! Done. Easy Breezy. 

Then you can also make another scarf from the scraps of that t-shirt. You should be left with something resembling this:

Step 1: Cut off the sleeves and the neck seam. 

Step 2: Cut vertical 1.5 inch strips until about 2 inches from the top.

You should have this:

Step 3: Stretch out the neck so that it curls. You can either stretch the strips or leave them alone. I did both.

I brought all the ones I made to Bear Creek Music Fest to sell. If you wanna skip all the work and just buy one from me, email jade (at) coffeeandcashmere (dot) com.
