Says Michelle Madsen of Love Nail Tree, "Each design has a story/meaning/inspiration that is printed on the inside tag of the shirt. This is our medium for addressing issues that we feel need to be talked about. We also do have light-hearted tees and messages that are meant to be inspiration. We just started doing this with the jewelry as well. For example, we have an arrow shaped pendant that has engraved "TAKE AIM" on the back."
Take Aim, $38
If the quote didn't give the secret away, Love Nail Tree is an L.A.-based company that uses shirts to raise awareness of societal issues. Its bling is also pretty awesome (and affordable!), and everything is made in Los Angeles. The t-shirts are 100 percent cotton, and much of the jewelry is made with repurposed antiques.
Bricks, $22 (Want!)
Telescope, $32 (It even collapses!)
Livin' on Dreams, Women's Crop, $38
Also, I like the line that accompanies every shirt on the website: "We will change the world with the stories we tell." Every t-shirt's online page is accompanied with such a story.
Camera Kills Fascists, Men's T, $32
Love Cuff, $38
Check out the Love Nail Tree website and shop for yourself -- guarantee you'll find a treat and story or two.
Find out Monday how I discovered Love Nail Tree! Hint: It involves pairings and tunes (and it's not a blind date at a salsa class).
Happy Aloha Friday! Woooo!
