Jessica Alba's a Hoot?

Stumbled on this neat pic of Jess Alba out with her bebe on IHeartThat yesterday. She's wearing Lauren Moshi's (dare I say AWESOME) new Owl Swing Tee underneath Wilt's Hi-Lo Slub Cardigan. That tee is super-soft and comfy but she's looking pretty chagrined.. maybe because a matching bag would have gone better with the outfit than a matching baby??

Gypsy Queen

From People.com, this "Who wore it better?" involving the two colors of Gypsy 05's Double V Ombre Maxi. Paris is in Olive, Jessica in Black. And as much as I am loathe to say it (due to a vehement dislike of all things Paris), Paris wins this round. But hey, Alba's got nicer shoes!

Stars & Stripes

OK! magazine this month was chock full of
goodies that we loved- including previously noted celeb-friendly Daftbird tanks.

Jessica Alba's wearing a wide striped tank, but we love our Daftbird basics, like this Deep V tank with contrast stitching.

To get the striped look, you can try this Striped Beater by Michael Stars or Splendid's new Rayon Rugby Striped Top.

Shop Daftbird at tee-zone.com.

Introducing...

So welcome to Tete-a-Tee-Zone, a brand-spankin' new blog for the website tee-zone.com and our NYC location, Basic Basic. Here you'll find information about new brands, our favorite new items, and behind the scenes scoop from our photo shoots and in-store shenanigans. With that said, some brief introductions are in order..

I'm Rachel. I've worked at Basic Basic for a lifetime. Currently I'm in charge of store styling (those mannequins are heavier than they look!) and web-site odds and ends, which is what led me here, writing my first blog.

My two co-authors are Mary and Megan. Mary does web-site styling. You know those catchy phrases on the front page? Those intuitive style collections? That's all her, and she's great at it. Megan (lucky girl) accompanies our photographer on photo shoots and creates the product pages for all our items. In fact, she's standing behind me as I type this, preparing outfits for tomorrow's shoot. We're all a little jealous.

Anyways, on with the show..

On the L-train to work today, Megan found a picture of Michelle Williams in this month's Elle magazine wearing a Michael Stars Striped Tank (see left). You can get a similar look with this Michael Stars Striped Beater in delicious candy colors, or take a look at the Stripe 2-button Cami, currently on sale for a skimpy $19.00!


And check this out: Jessica Alba wearing the LA Made Full-length Trench. Celebritystyleguide.com added a handy Link to our product page on tee-zone.com. We're almost famous!

That's all we've got for today. Be sure to check out Susanna Monaco, as featured on our home page.. we're all dying for that Amy Halter Dress. Until next time,
