Catherine Malandrino + Mary J. Blige = Design Duo With Heart

FabSugar — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 10:00:33 -0800

What do you get when you give a talented French designer and a fly songstress some fabric and a cause? FFAWN + Catherine Malandrino, a fierce "t-luxe" collection benefiting the Foundation For the Achievement of Women Now, a charity started by Blige in '08. The line, which starts at $39, hits Bloomingdale's next week and is all about empowering women with messages like "I'm Free" and "I'm Power."

So how did the duo join forces? "Catherine has been a dear friend of mine for years and, after she learned about FFAWN and our mission, she offered to create a T-shirt collection that would celebrate being women, being strong and being free," Blige said. Great friends, doing great things.

It's All Fun and Games Until . . .

Though it's there for good reason, the cone of shame certainly makes pups look rather silly while scampering down the street. Naturally when I saw this shirt referenced on my favorite vet blog, Dolittler, I had to hunt it down for myself.

Featuring a super cute smooshy, it comes in a wide range of colors printed on an American Apparel tee for just under $30. I can think of a handful of friends who would love this sentiment 'cause, while necessary, wearing that headgear during a walk in the park is no walk the park for anyone, four-legged or not.

FabSugar — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 07:00:08 -0700

As of late, many gals have been wearing their lacy lingerie over tees. I've seen it work and I've seen it flop. Forever 21 is capitalizing on the trend by creating this Twelve by Twelve Lingerie Tee ($14, originally $28). That way, you don't actually have to do the work of layering. Is this something you would rock or is it too '80s for you?

My favorites are the Peace Off Tee ($28), that Kelly Osbourne has and the Africa Ikat Tee ($28). If none of the ready-to-wear pieces speak to you, you're free to design your own. And be sure to read about its partnership with Samburu Project, a non-profit that drills water wells in northern Kenya.

Shout-Out Tees Allow Kids to Express Themselves

LilSugar — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 13:00:37 -0800

Express yourself - it's not just the title of a Madonna song, but the catchphrase for tots ready to tell us what's on their minds. Shout Out Clothing ($29) allows lil ones to tell us exactly what they want with t-shirts that feature changeable letters, numbers and symbols. Each shirt comes with a zipper pouch filled with three copies of each letter and number and one of each symbol. Your kid can then spell out their feelings of the day on both the front and back of their shirt, and change their message when they wish. Created by former All My Children actor Colin Egglesfield, these interactive tees also encourage spelling and vocabulary skills in older kids.

Trendtotting: High Gloss

Does your tot like to show off? One California mama is making tees for lil ones "that floss." The founder of High Gloss had a hard time finding unique duds for her sons so she created her own line of urban shirts ($12). There's a Now I Know shirt with an edgy alphabet print, Match 'Em Up tee that kids can wear and play the popular game with graffiti art tools, and a truck top that showcases a modern ice cream truck. These threads make for a great out of the box gift, but buy one size bigger - they run a bit small!

GenOtees Celebrate Generation Obama

If you've got a wee one that is enthused about our newest president, Barack Obama, then let him wear his or her pride in the form of a soft genOtee onesie or tee that proudly exclaims, "I am Generation O." The darling duds are the brainchild of a mama who is cashing in on the Obama craze after she made one for her baby in a moment of inspiration on election night. Fellow parents kept asking her where to buy them so she made selling them her business. The soft cotton garments say "CHANGE" on the back and are priced at $18 - $20. If you're a parent that is into family dressing, pick up the line's adult shirt ($15) for yourself!
