No it’s not the Cloverfield monster invading San Francisco, instead the historic Golden Gate bridge is under attack by a giant squid! This shirt was conjured up by the great designers of Gama-Go and will help you show your San Fran Squidly pride. I wonder if this was inspired by the Humboldt squid invasion that is rapidly advancing up the California coastline.

Dang but this is one of the coolest hoodies I have seen for the summer. Brought to you by the indie design crew at Supermaggie, it showcases their cephalopod love and fine aesthetic sensibilities. Front and center is a large black octopus, while the back is covered with a more detailed print which includes an upside down octopus as well as multiple blue waves. The two sided, two color print really makes this v neck hoodie stand out as a fabulous find. Printed on an oatmeal colored raglan pullover hoodie and made of a unique eco-fabric which is knitted imperfectly to create a vintage look, it is machine washable. With sleeves that hit above the elbow, marsupial pockets, and a plunging v neckline it’s both cute and perfect for layering.

I love Earth brand shoes and covet these slick, high style mary jane’s. Featuring leather uppers and their patented negative heel technology, these shoes promote natural body alignment through wear. I like the look of these mary jane’s with the pieced together leather and bold overstitching in black. Specifically recommended for people who are on their feet all day, as the body posture created by the shoes relieves fatigue. They are available in 5 different colors, rosso calf is pictured below. Featuring an adjustable instep strap and fully padded footbed, these shoes are both comfortable and attractive. Currently on sale at Zappos.

Brought to you by Loop Design, I am smitten with this cute monster faced tote bag. The bag is made of black and white pinstriped cotton, and features two different charming faces with eyes and mouths. Choose between the frowning toothy faced side (complete with removable fabric bows) or the toothless but upbeat smiling side. The tote measures 12.5 inches wide by 14.5 inches high, and 3.5 inches deep - big enough for a day bag, or perhaps a diaper bag if you are child inclined.

I really like this fashion forward take on a classic dress. With a flattering a-line skirt and empire waist as well as a back tie, this is a style that is going to look good on nearly anyone, no matter what your personal attributes. Composed of a poly/viscose/lycra blend and brought to you by the indie style house of She-Bible, I had a really tough time deciding which color I liked best. Pictured below is the mauve version, but their cobalt blue is also lovely. Available in sizes XS to XL, this looks like a perfect spring dress that can be kept casual or dressed up as needed.

Perhaps a bit light hearted for Cthulhu, this fetching tentacled tee might just be a ploy to draw you in. Step closer to peer at my tentacles…Even if you are not a fan of H.P. Lovecraft, this great print of an immense tangle of tentacles is very eye catching and is likely to garner some attention. The green squid filled print resides on a green ringer melange American Apparel tee, and is a Squidfire classic.

Continuing along with our camouflage postings, here’s one for the gents. If you plan to be sprinting around in the ninja forest in your underwear, you might want to invest some of your war chest in some of these Paul Frank Ninja Flauge Briefs. Strip down and slap them on, and you are ready to creep through the forests undetected…oh yeah, you might want to also invest in some body paint to cover up the rest of you…Pinkskin.

I am a sucker for camouflage, most especially if the colors are other than traditional. This cute, long cut tank top from Oakley is a nice example of a modern camouflage in a black and grey or white and grey print - the black is pictured below. Made of 100% cotton, the Oakley logo is pretty discreet on the lower left corner and surrounded by stars. A basic ribbed women’s tank with style and a little bit of bite.

Paying much homage to the folks in uniform, these snazzy lace up combat boots from Diesel are super sweet. Resembling the coveted desert stryker style, they are composed of leather and canvas and provide a secure lightweight brogan that deals well with heat and has more flexibility in the ankle than a traditional all leather boot. Excellent for an urban environment! The soles are all leather, and the boots feature contrast stitching for style. No side zipper here, they are full lace up and look to be about the height of Doc Marten 10 holes. Available in black (shown below), beige or dark green.

Looking for a way to bring a little more piratical fashion to your wardrobe? Check out these cute anchor print capri pants which are currently on sale at PlasticLand. The cut and style of these navy capris were inspired by retro track pants, so they have a nice wide waistband as well as a two button faux fly. Made of 80% cotton and 20% polyester, the manufacturer warns that they run small, so you may wish to size up when ordering. Navy cropped pants with a cute all-over white anchor print - not just nautical, I say they could easily be piratical.
