Style File: Artistic tees

If you're one of the 1.8 million folks who've let your creativity run wild on a Threadless tee, then this is a no-brainer. Gap has partnered with the online tee maker, and their Gap + Threadless collection, which launched this season, features 10 women's and 16 guys' T-shirts, $29.95, with images by artists from across the country.

Sweet shoes

So the shoe closet isn't a spot known for its sweet odors. But designer Paul Mayer is out to change that. He has infused several of his styles with a fresh lavender scent, which means his loyal customers -- who love his comfy ballet flats and kitten heels so much they often buy multiple pairs -- will have the best-smelling closet around. His Cozy style, $225-$228, can be found at shoptheshoebox.com. -- Barbara Schuler
