Is there anything better than a favorite t-shirt? Those mornings when we wake up and want to be comfy and casual, there's just no other choice. And our new favorite t-shirt has to be the SPUN Scoop Tee (pictured), which happens to be the company's best seller. It can become your favorite, too -- SPUN is giving one away to a StyleList reader!

All you have to do is go to the SPUN homepage and sign up for their mailing list before the end of the day Monday, September 29 -- you won't get bombarded with emails, but you will be entered to win a t-shirt! SPUN will contact the lucky winner. Of course, if you're impatient, you can just buy your own -- they're just $25.

Most of us have causes about which we're fairly passionate. Some of us wear our hearts on our sleeve. But some of us wear our cause on our chest, and FiveHumans makes it possible for us to do that in style.

The company was nice enough to send us a tee of our very own to check out (the women's "Oxygen Temples" style shown above because we have asthma), and we were really impressed. For one thing, it fits well and feels good without being clingy. We know, super-thin tees are great, but we're not a fan of showing any bulges we might have to the world, so we really liked this fabric.

We found you something. It's Maryink.

Maryink is an Etsy shop that sells t-shirts, jewelry, tote bags, candle holders, and more. They are run out of Nashville and have a terrific Scandinavian fairy tale meets punk rock vibe, resulting in designs that are retro-cool and playful. According to Mary, yes, the Mary, one of their items was even inspired by Sesame Street! (Blue Russian Nesting Dolls Tote, click here.)

Here's a link to a great video about the designers, Mary and Chris.

Whit Honea is a slacker, a borderline degenerate, and a daydream believer. He's also our resident expert on casual chic. If it's comfortable, and not heinous, he's all over it. He's quite charming, really.

Worn any good books lately? Want to accessorize your book report? Do you like people to think that you are well read, literate and intelligent, not to mention fashionable? Then here are the shirts for you.

Alicia Keys wore a Barack Obama tee for her performance at the Keep A Child Alive Black Ball, and now she's hoping to use it to raise even more money for charity by auctioning it off.

In our opinion, coming up with t-shirt design that strikes the perfect balance between dead kittens and bad-ass sharks is an art form of the highest order. And like most advanced masterworks, it's pretty easy to tell when an artist is being ripped off. That would seem to be the case when it comes to the kitten laying in a shark's mouth t-shirt that James Franco wears in Pineapple Express.

A small Brooklyn t-shirt company named WOWCH is complaining that the shirt featured in the movie has a striking resemblance to one that they sold through Urban Outfitters in 2005. We kinda have to agree. Instead of giving credit where credit's due, the film's director apparently got credit for the design concept in an interview with Franco -- adding insult to injury.

They say that imitation is the highest form of flattery. We say: the hell it is! It seems to us that some monetary compensation would be a good start, but all WOWCH wants is a free passes, popcorn, and a really big soda.

Ah, summer camp- the tents, the s'mores, the mosquitoes, the ridicule, the years of therapy. Those were the days.

Did you know that camp is chic? Yes, actual camp, as in summer, bonfires and short shorts. We didn't know this either, sure, we enjoy it, or at least watching movies about it, but thanks to the Los Angeles Times we've been given the green light on embracing our inner ten-year-old (not that we ever acted much older).

We love a good t-shirt. We've been pretty clear on that. We also love doing the right thing (insert Spike Lee reference here). You can imagine how happy we were to find a t-shirt company that embodies both.

Tonic has t-shirts for men and women in 8 different prints. The sales of these shirts helps contribute to charities in the following areas, education, environment, poverty, and social welfare. Tonic donates about 40% of their profits to these causes. That's a very cool thing (we're not the only ones that think so).

Last month, we told you guys about an underwear company who was making heat-sensitive underwear -- meaning they change colors when friction occurs due to a special dye they've been treated with. Yeah, you can draw your own conclusions.

Now we want to shed light on another brand who's aiming to show its love for 90s favorite, Hypercolor, in a less freaky way.

Ash Francomb is a self-described "sunny" boutique. What does this mean? Are solar panels involved? Not that we know of. However, we have a theory that the sunshine is in the shirts, figuratively. All of the prints are modern takes on vintage design and they promote "passion for adventure, the ocean, nature, and music into visual art meant to inspire their fans to 'live life like a road trip' and to travel the globe in search of endless summers and memories that will last a lifetime..."

While I'm sure you look just fabulous every time you set foot outside the house, the majority of people don't. At least, not all the time. Sometimes it's because they didn't change out of their sweats they wore for yardwork earlier in the day, in which case I have ZERO sympathy.

However, even I have been guilty of thinking I put together an outfit that was, you know, fine (and not fine like Beyonce -- fine like, "I suppose it'll do"), only to realize later that a crime of fashion has been committed when I wasn't looking. Maybe my skirt looked fine when I was standing straight in front of the mirror in the morning, but apparently the humidity or sitting in it or something caused it to ride up in unflattering ways by the afternoon.

Emma Watson and Rupert Grint looked great at the Paris premiere of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Watson didn't dress as wackily as she usually does (it's almost as if she dresses strictly according to a StyleFoul guide or something), but Grint stuck with his usual "too cool to dress up" style, wearing faded jeans and t-shirts. However, I noticed that the shirt that he wore to this particular premiere has been popping up everywhere.

"Keep Calm and Carry On," his shirt says. It's actually an image/saying from a British World War II poster that was designed to assure citizens that all measures were being taken to defend the country against Germany. It has a strange relevance to the Western world's situation now, and is a nice juxtaposition to the scare tactics and fear mongering we see everywhere.

Plus, it's a cool shirt.

Edit: Apparently this is the original place that made these shirts, including the one that Rupert is wearing.
