Behind the Seams: Loomstate For Target Launch Party

FabSugar — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 11:50:22 PDT

Oh, the perks of being a celebrity. While we have to wait until April 19 for the Loomstate For Target launch, they get to have first dibs days before. But just because we weren't at the launch party doesn't mean we can't spy on the fun. Amy Smart, Kate Mara, Elizabeth Banks, Amber Valetta, Jaime King, and dozens more enjoyed an afternoon together in Venice, CA, socializing and shopping. Trust me, no one left empty-handed, including actress Elizabeth Banks who picked up this adorable bird tote. See what else went down . . .

Trend Alert: Expressive Tees

FabSugar — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 06:00:22 PDT

In the words of Salt 'n' Pepa: "Express yourself, you gotta be you and only you, babe." Expressive tees are an ideal way to speak a loud message. Whether you're suddenly into choppers, or yourself, rocker tees have made way for more artsy tees; fitting, since art school is in session this season. I'm more into the brightly colored ones, like Rihanna's, hey, if you're going to express yourself, do it loudly, babe.

Trend Alert: Your Favorite White Tee

FabSugar — Mon, 07 Apr 2008 07:00:22 PDT

How do I love thee favorite white tee? We all have them, we all want them and apparently it's warm enough in LA that the starlets are wearing them with vigor. We love a white dress and a white tee has a similar effect - the feeling of freshness and comfort. Wearing your favorite white tee with jeans is a given, I say mix it up with a full skirt or easy breezy trousers. The possibilities are endless, that's what makes it oh so lovable.
