All Doll'd Up

Fashion Week Luxe Redux: This Look Gets an A+!

I may not be heading back to school this week, but that doesn’t mean I’m not always studying fashion! And when it comes to making the grade, you can’t really argue: From the looks of these sketches to the final runway piece, rag & bone (such a genius team!) totally aced prep chic when they showcased this Gossip Girl-esque outfit at my fashion show in New York last February. And with this sassy ponytail, and those amazing Louboutins, I’d feel best dressed just about anywhere!

Almost makes me miss passing notes to Ken in study hall…

Hitting the books,

I Heart This: Chic Meets Geek!

The sun! The beach! The pool parties! Summer is the absolute best time ever to be a fashionista, so it's no surprise that I always aim to celebrate the season in style. From the luxe to the basic, there are so many amazing trends and ultra fabulous looks this year; I'll be posting a super hot item from my summer must-have list right here every week. (After all, I know I'm not the only one who wants to look fab this season.) Obsession-worthy finds? I promise, doll-ling!

From what to wear to what to read to what to carry it in, check back each week to see what I'm "hearting" and how you can get it, too!

Must-Have #8: Strike a Pose

With summer winding down (boo!), there's only so much longer to keep making those awesome beachside memories. So get creative and capture your last hurrahs from blowout parties, summer vay-kays or backyard photo shoots in style with the LOMO Mr. Pink Diana F+ camera!

Not only does the LOMO look totally retro chic, and just like the original 60's model, but it also takes amazing vintage-looking photos, and leaves you looking funky and fabulous from any angle. Plus, that lighting? So flattering!

Whether you're already a sharp shooter or more comfortable in front of the lens, this pretty in pink LOMO is sure to turn even the least gadget-y of girls into total shutterbugs!

Say cheese,

Do “The Barbie!”

Oh. My. Goodness. After weeks in the studio, my very first music video is finally ready and I can’t wait for the big debut! We’ve remixed the “Barbie Girl” tune from the 90’s, set it to totally dolled up lyrics and developed a super slick combination of moves now known as "The Barbie.” The music video stars my new Barbie Fashionistas dolls, which can actually strike a pose and dance! Trust me: you watch this enough and you’ll be doing the pop-tastic dance moves in no time!

The dance is so much hotter than you could imagine! Choreographed by music video legend JaQuel Knight—the brains behind the moves of Beyonce and Britney —it’ll definitely have you movin’ and grooving’ in no time! Can’t wait to hear what you think…

Point, twist, snap!

P.S. You gotta love the appearance by Hottie Ken!

Must-Have #7: Such a Classic, Doll-ing!

Ready for a super chic page-turner? Well, when it comes to icons, some legends are totally untouchable—and just no one compares to the woman who practically invented fashion as we know it, Coco Chanel.

From the creation of the little black dress (fab!), to the very idea of couture (amazing!), who can compete with her iconic status? Always ahead of her time, the woman lived a seriously crazy life of design, art, fashion and-ahem-boyfriends. Nothing if not incredible, right? So just how did she go from total poorhouse to top fashion house?

That's only one of the questions Karen Karbo tackles in her half-biopic half-self-help book, The Gospel According to Coco Chanel: Life Lessons from the World's Most Elegant Woman. And really, couldn't we all stand to be a little more Coco?

If only beach reading was always this fashionable.

Ciao,
