Wondercon 2009: Loter

GeekSugar — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 04:01:18 -0800

Although it seemed that the expo hall at this year's Wondercon was a little less robust than years' past, there was plenty of cute to go around among all that geekiness. Take Loter for example. Makers of tees, toys, cards, and prints, their booth caught my eye from across the room with its retro vibe. I picked up a few of their prints and cards on my way out, which remind me a little of the stylized art of Eric Tam, who draws the awesome 60's era Disney movie posters. Obviously I'm a fan of retro, so this little figurine would fit in quite well with the other nicknacks I keep on my desk.

Check out some more pics of Loter's awesome booth and their sweetly geeky goods.

Simply Fab: KStreet Tees

FabSugar — Thu, 29 May 2008 05:00:22 -0700

Like my ongoing quest for the perfect jean, I am always on the look out for the perfect tees to go with my (fictional) perfect jeans. I think I may have found some that are near-perfect.

KStreet NYC seeks to find the perfect fit with their sizing that runs by bra size. Founder Kari Weiner measures her tees according to chest, waist and hip measurements. The pima cotton tees come in black, white and heather grey and are sized like bras, running from 30 A/B to 38 D/DD. I am kinda loving the Basic S/S Crew Neck ($65). But the tees come in four different styles and each style comes in eleven different sizes so you're bound to find your perfect tee, too. Then all you need is some standout jewelry and you're ready to shine.

On Our Radar: Gap Launches Limited Edition Artist T-Shirt Collection

FabSugar — Tue, 13 May 2008 02:00:22 -0700

Gap will be unveiling a limited edition artist t-shirt collection set to launch in select stores and online May 15th. In celebration of the 2008 Whitney Biennial, Gap has joined forces with top contemporary artists in producing limited edition artist tees. Some artists include Chuck Close, Jeff Koons, Marilyn Minter, and Kiki Smith with t-shirt designs ranging from political messages to colorful abstract confections. I especially like the bright burst on the Glenn Ligon tee. The classically Gap ad campaign was shot by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin - Fab, as usual. Something to look forward to!

Slide to Unlock Tee: Not the Way to Declare Your Girl Geekery

GeekSugar — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 15:02:20 -0700

I just had one of those classic brain-fart moments when you see something and think it's clever and harmless, and then you actually, you know, think about it, and go, "Oh, come on." And with that I bring you this new Slide to Unlock T-shirt from ThinkGeek.

At first I was like, cool! iPhone T-shirt! And then my brain worked and I realized that it was an invitation your momma wouldn't approve of.

Call me a square, I can take it. Don't think it's sexist? Well, they're not making it in mens' sizes.

Trend Alert: Your Favorite White Tee

FabSugar — Mon, 07 Apr 2008 07:00:22 -0700

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.

Trash & Luxury Women's Sky Vogue Tee: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Mon, 24 Mar 2008 15:00:22 -0700

Call me crazy, but I'm digging Ashley Tisdale's whole outfit here. You all had mixed feelings about light-wash jeans but have warmed up to the notion of gladiator sandals. People change, trends come and go. So do tees of the moment.

Meet the newest overpriced tee to hit Hollywood, this Trash & Luxury Women's Sky Vogue Tee ($48)‚ Nicky Hilton is also a fan. I'm a sucker for anything that says vogue on it, and the watercolor design is colorful and cool. It also looks very comfy. Are you convinced?

Trend Alert: Fancy Tees

FabSugar — Thu, 21 Feb 2008 07:00:22 -0800

You know those days. Those days you just feel like throwing on a comfy tee, your favorite jeans and tried and true jewelry. That day is Sunday for me. But these days, Sundays can be a little more fanciful thanks to fancy tees. The Olsens have proven a Hanes V-neck can support a high fashion look, but a silk tee, a cool tee or a slightly ruched tee can do that too. It's fancy tee time.

Totally Geeky or Geek Chic? The Guitar Hero Tee Shirt

GeekSugar — Wed, 11 Jul 2007 08:00:09 -0700

I've been a fan of Nerdy Shirts for some time now, mostly because they offer a pleasant lineup of vintage chic geeky shirts that won't break the bank (they are all about $20) and you can probably bet on the fact that you'll be the only person you know with the design. Their most recent creation, The Guitar Hero combines the popular Guitar Hero game with every guitar player's hero, Jimi Hendrix. I like the design because it's subtle, cheeky and a little bit girly. It costs $20.

Public Domain: Cute Geeky Tee Shirts

GeekSugar — Tue, 15 May 2007 04:02:35 -0700

When it comes to geek gear there are many varieties: Video gamer shirts, programmer shirts, swag bags, backpacks and tees...the list seems endless. However, while there seems to be no end of geeky tee shirts, it can sometimes be hard to find great shirts for girls because the guys seem to have claimed all the greatest vintage and video-game inspired designs. In fact, finding a medium between Hello Kitty, Atari, and code humor can be near impossible. But not impossible.

Public Domain has some adorable polaroid, joystick, brick phone mega and calculator watch-inspired tee shirts that more than live up to the needs of any chic girl or guy. They are all $25.
