Earlier this year we posted about Cream, an adorable line of ladies’ tees that are scented. Cream just released a new batch of tees and they are as cute and yummy smelling as ever! There are 3 mini-collections: Marin de Cream, Creamy Sweetness and the Signature Series. My favorite is the Marin de Cream - a nautically inspired series of tees that smell, appropriately enough, like coconut! Who doesn’t love the smell of coconut tanning oil? That scent always brings me back to the beach. Creamy Sweetness smells just like it sounds and the tees are kawaii and smell like strawberries. The Signature Series is some of the most popular styles re-issued in different colors. You can get the tees online at Karmaloop. Happy Scratching & Sniffing!

The assignment: Design an ultra-cool Karmaloop sticker.
The Rules: Make your original artwork in 4″x 4″ in high resolution (300 DPI) but for the contest upload save it as a much smaller 350 x 350 jpeg just so we can upload it on our servers.

The winner will also take home a fat $1000 Dollar Gift Certificate to Karmaloop.com . Please no google images, no copying and pasting, just earth-shattering, slam dunk type sh!t!

Remember collecting “scratch and sniff” stickers back in the day? I had a sticker book full of them and sometimes I wouldn’t scratch them so they would stay scented longer. Well, if you’re longing for those scratch and sniff days then today is your luck day. Cream is a cute new line of ladies “scratch and sniff” t-shirts that caters to “girls who dream about their future and freely express their own style.” All the tees are scented in yummy scents like raspberry, bubble gum and sunflower. Cream just released a Valentine’s Day edition of tees and you can get them on Karmaloop. Happy scratching and sniffing!

We recently posted about the best smelling collab to ever hit the streets: Kraft’s Kool-Aid and Reebok. These two have paired up to offer some sweet-smelling sneakers in grape, strawberry and cherry.

If the writer’s strike has you bumming and you’re sick of reality TV then Karmaloop TV has you covered. They’ve updated their content with new interviews including Richie Rich of Heatherette, Erin Magee of Made Me and Lupe Fiasco. Check it out!

A while back we announced that Karmaloop TV was in the works and that they were looking for hosts. Well, Karmaloop TV has finally launched and it’s full of great content. They’ve got great interviews with people in fashion, music and media. If your daily blog reading were not enough, and you want to see some behind the scenes action, now you can supplement it with watching videos. Just make sure your boss doesn’t catch you at work!

Yes, 5 + 1 =6, but we just had to know a little bit more about owner/buyer Dina Selkoe of Karmaloop.

And that sick leather jacket and tee she is wearing are from MadeMe’s Fall collection. They too can be found at Karmaloop!

1. Tell us a little bit about yourself?

Let’s see….. I was born in Russia (so I’m probably genetically inclined to be crazy). I have 4 pets- two cats and two dogs (Jasper, Flippy, Vivian and Mr. Serge). I like politics (double nay to Baby Bush Duvalier! Yay to Obama!), international affairs and history, tennis and traveling, collecting books and bags, and consuming wine and music (who doesn’t like the last two?), and I am about to start taking Krav Maga classes (so watch out boys of Karmaloop, you’re about to get your asses served).

2. How did you become a buyer?

I came into the company in a more general, managerial/creative type position- doing editorial stuff and the Lookbook, planning parties, opening the store in Boston, doing some legal stuff, etc., we had a buyer who did both men’s and women’s and it just made sense to separate the two, so I started doing the women’s buying about a year ago.
