Stay Classy, San Diego

It seems almost serendipitous that two days before my high school graduation, Rebecca Minkoff, a local designer, states that her Resort 2013 collection is a return to her "San Diegan roots". When I am most nostalgic for the hometown I will soon be leaving (79 days until I move into my dorm, according to my college) it is wonderful to see a homegrown designer use America's Finest City as her inspiration.

The 18-piece mid-season collection focused on the surf and skate cultures of Southern California. Two-tone baseball sweatshirts, sleeveless leather vests, and effortless shift dresses dominated the presentation, all in oceanic-worthy hues.

It was a little more downtown than I go for, but I really did enjoy it and I felt that Minkoff totally captured the San Diego Spirit.

Each hair piece plays a different song when plugged in. View larger.About Harmony B Sharp

Harmony B Sharp features an adorable round face, button eyes, and a big personality. Created from the cloth of a singer's dress, she loves to be in the spotlight. Like all Lalaloopsy dolls, she was once a rag doll who came to life just as her last stitches were sewn.

An aspiring singer, Harmony dresses the part with her sparkly blue and pink dress, cute molded socks and shoes, and pink molded hair. She comes with a rattling pet cat to help kids keep the beat while Harmony entertains.

Interchangeable Hair Pieces Trigger Different Songs

Press the button in the center of Harmony's chest and she'll interact with you. She has six ponytail hair pieces: two silly hair pieces with pink bows, a yellow stars hair piece, a green bow hair piece, a top hat hair piece, and a red bow hair piece. Keep the hair pieces organized and in one place with the included plastic pouch.

Each hairstyle triggers a different song when plugged into the hair-piece slot on the right side of Harmony's head. Family members who are sensitive to sounds should know that the Harmony B Sharp doll does not include a volume button. However, she has an on/off switch and her songs and interactions are short.

Included Stage Allows Harmony to Dance and Move

Harmony dances when attached to the stand on the dance stage. When attached and while singing, she moves her legs and arms and twists at the waist. Her hair pieces also whirl and twirl. If unattached, Harmony will continue to talk and sing but without movement.

Interact with Harmony

Harmony interacts with you in several ways. You can help her get ready to perform by choosing a hair piece for her to wear. Or Harmony will prompt you to insert a specific hair piece for her. Occasionally, she will ask you to dance. To save battery power, Harmony will go into sleep mode if she isn't played with for a period of time.

What's in the Box

NYFW FALL 2013: day two

 More New York favorites debuted their FALL 2013 collections yesterday.

Jenni Kayne Fall 2013

 Jenni Kayne produced a lovely array of glamorous minimalist designs in opulent hues and fabrics -bright reds, glittering silvers, and oceanic blues- perfect for the hip, career-minded New Yorker twenty-something who needs to transition from day to night.

Jason Wu Fall 2013

Jason Wu has managed to keep us begging for more season after season, and FALL 2013 was no exception. The "Wu Girl" has an eye for the extravagant and glamorous, but there are pieces that appeal to every sort of style. My favorite pieces were the lace-printed trousers and the white feather dress.

Rebecca Minkoff Fall 2013

Rebecca Minkoff gave us many options for fall coats, which I'm sure appealed to those watching the show, as New York experienced some freezing temperatures on Friday. Minkoff has literally given us a coat for every occasion -going out, rain coats, Saturday shopping- you name the event, and Minkoff has given you a coat to go with it!

Brave

Pixar's newest movie Brave was apparently very inspiring to Karl Lagerfeld. The movie focuses on a teenage princess named Merida trying to find her destiny in Medieval Scotland, where magic spells and mysteries abound.

Also, kilts.

Chanel's annual Metiers d'Art pre-fall show traveled this time to the highlands of Scotland and featured every combination of plaid and argyle a 90s prepster could dream of. Inspired by the tragic life of Mary, Queen of Scots (but also probably by Merida) Lagerfeld took us through all the staples of Scottish wardrobes and dazzled with a more subdued extravagance compared to some of his other metiers d'art collections.

The clothes are beautiful. Costume-y and ridiculous, yes, but what more could we ask for from fashion's favorite daring diva?

how does one pack up one's own life?

This is half of my closet. Only half. And somehow I have to bring it all to college in two days and jam everything into a cramped dorm closet. I'm told that I need to choose, choose what articles I find most important, most neccessary for my survival at school. 

But how does one choose? I love every single item of clothing that hangs from this closet. That's why I have these pieces! Because I love them so! 

Packing in general is very stressful.

As If!

There are a few fictional characters that I truly admire. Holly Golightly of Breakfast at Tiffany's; Mia Thermopolis of The Princess Diaries (both the books and the movies); Any Molly Ringwald character; Gossip Girl's Blair Waldorf.

As different as these women may be they all share some striking similarities: they are all pretty young, sometimes stylish, always naive and slightly self-absorbed women with fantastic lives but realistic flaws. It's easy to love a superhero in a comic book because superheroes are meant to be absolutely perfect; even their flaws essentially make them stronger. But these women don't necessarily aim to correct their flaws. No, they embrace them or even sometimes remain blissfully unaware that they aren't perfect princesses after all.

For the same reasons that I love the previously-mentioned ladies, I am in love with Cher Horowitz, the incredibly shallow if not absolutely loveable heroine of the 1995 Beverly Hills Spoiled Teenager Bible Clueless. Cher has a computer program that makes sure her outfits don't clash, a fancy car that she can't drive, and an overall incredibly charmed life but still the same woes and heartbreaks that we normal people also deal with. Cher gives makeovers and tries to find love for herself while playing matchmaker to others all while wearing unforgettable yellow plaid outfits and mini-mini dresses by Calvin Klein and Alaia (which are the subjects of great memorable lines from the movie, I might say).

Cher might be a bit misguided, but she is such a beloved character because she is such a real teenager- albeit an incredibly stylish one.

Wildfox Couture, the cheeky T-shirt design label that always produces incredible campaigns, has also been incredibly inspired by the life and times of Cher, and their spring 2013 ad campaign recreates the iconic movie in a modern style.

And with great, sassy phrases like "Need Ride to the Mall" and "Rodeo Dr." emblazened on barbie pink oversized tees, Wildfox has got the Valley Girl lingo down.
