Neck & Necklace

Now, I know I've totally mentioned this before (maybe I'm just ahead of the curve) but Bazaar included a tank with built-in necklace on their "Hottest, Newest, Latest" page.

Their $225 tank from AKA bears a pretty striking resemblance to Young Fabulous, & Broke's >Jeweled Neck Tank - which is on super sale from tee-zone for $66. (And ignoring the massive price difference for a sec, YFB's is still way prettier!)

What makes these shirts so cool is their embellishment: take a tank you might see every day and make it special. Which we think is a pretty neat concept, and the reason we put together our fun-damentals collection. Because who said basics have to be basic?!

Maximizing the Maxi






Despite the everlasting wet curbs of Winter in NYC, maxi-dresses (cleverly disguised for the cold!) are everywhere. This little blurb from Glamour shows ever-tanned Cali chicks wearing them bare in the daytime for a one-piece casual look. Please note: as Paris Hilton is demonstrating, wearing a white babydoll maxi will not negate your skank factor. CHOOSE WISELY, ladies!

(And can anyone tell us who the two chicks on the right are??)


But what do you do when it's 20 degrees (11 with windchill!) and those long, strappy dresses are beckoning? Megan found this sweet article in Lucky magazine (our favorite!).

Start with a turtleneck, add a long straight dress, and add a blazer (or a cardigan, for less meek more chic). Exaggerated jewelry, simple hair, and your favorite boots- and you're ready to rock that maxi through the cold, hard, NYC winter.

Shop maxi dresses at tee-zone.com!

Every Model Needs an Entourage...

So you all remember Jeremy Piven's super dramatic bout of mercury poisoning that caused him to cancel his appearances in "Speed the Plow," right?

He's currently in Bangkok for treatment. And what did he do that terrible, desperate night he fell ill? Why, he spent it with a model named Ashley Chontos, who happens to be a pretty familiar face 'round here at tee-zone.com. Here she is in Three Dots, Splendid, and Susana Monaco (on sale!).


Piven met Ashley at Britney Spears' birthday party (which had a circus theme.. is she 11? I don't understand!) and has since been super-tight with the model. Word on the street (and by word on the street I mean Perez Hilton says) that Piven is ditching his Mama and bringing Ashley as his date to the Golden Globes. Someone is movin' on up!

In case you'd like a less... biased... report, here's the article from NY Daily News.
