Cool Stuff: Too Cool Tees and Hotteeze

This month we take the humble T and look at new and unique reinventions that scream too cool for school!!

Turn that simple T into a work of art
Graniph is a brand that transforms that much loved T-shirt into 'accessible art.' All the way from Japan, Graniph T-shirts are designed by a variety of photographers, artists and illustrators. With the brand's love for colour and daring prints your outfit will be screaming unique! The designs are so limited in fact that they restock every week and NEVER do repeats!

Check out the Bellaboo Crew below, with our pick of awesome Graniph tee's!

RRP: $40 for one T-shirt, two for $70.

Every T tells a story
Have a much loved t-shirt that holds special memories? Could be the T you wore on that first date with your current squeeze or the T that you slept in throughout your tweens. Now your T can have numerous reincarnations thanks to Re-Shirt. To raise awareness of the environmental impact of cotton production, the concept of Re-Shirt is to reduce the number of cotton t-shirts produced by encouraging recycling!

So here's the deal. You send your much loved T to Re-Shirt with your story about why this T is special. All shirts are inspected and if they make the cut are then posted online with their individual story. Each Re-Shirt is branded with its own Re-Shirt label and given a barcode. So, the next owner can blog about their T's adventures and the humble T lives on and on through T-tales. We love it! Clever, entertaining, environmentally friendly and anti-consumerist - www.re-shirt.net. Shirts cost about $41 plus shipping as they are based in UK.

Beat the freeze with Hotteeze

This is a definite winter warmer and multi-tasking little nifty thingy. They are basically heat pads. You just peel of the backing and whack them on over clothing and the little pad works its fire magic to warm you up. How it works is that the solution inside each pad reacts with oxygen once taken out of the pack and the reaction creates heat. It’s your own little portable heater for those cold mornings on the school bus, or even to keep you toasty all day, as they last 12 hours! This is no nanna hot water bottle, it has some serious cool cred with A-listers like Gemma Ward and Princess Mary big fans! Here’s Ash’s opinion after trialing:

The first thing that came to mind when I saw 'Hotteeze' was, 'what a brilliant idea for girls when it’s....that time of the month' Hotteeze is MAGIC, you peel off the backing and it sticks right over your clothes. It’s self-adhesive, eco-friendly and, more importantly, odourless!!

Hotteeze can be used anywhere on your body as long as it is over clothes. Hotteeze takes about 5 minutes to heat up and start relieving pain. This God-send comes in a small package, great to chuck in your handbag on the way out of the house.

RRP: $24.95 for a pack of 10
BB rating: 5/5
