9 New Disney Collabs You’ll Want to Buy Immediately

Aug 04, 2017

We totally have a D23 Expo and San Diego Comic Con hangover; the movie announcements, the Disney parks announcements, the cosplay — it was all so much! Now that the dust has settled, we’ve had time to rest, reflect… and say goodbye to all the money in our bank account. Not just because we’ll HAVE to stay at the Star Wars-themed hotel, see all the new movies when they come out, and head to Iceland with Adventures by Disney, but because Disney and their partners have come out with SO MUCH COOL NEW STUFF. Here are some of our faves.

1. Radio Flyer Luke Skywalker’s Landspeeder ($500): If you’re on the petite side, you’re in luck, since you might be able to squeeze into this totally amazing Star Wars Landspeeder that debuted at the San Diego Comic Con. This out-of-this-world ride has an interactive dashboard with lights and sounds from the movie. But it only clocks in at five miles per hour — way slower than the Millennium Falcon.

2. Uniqlo Mickey Travels Satin Jacket ($50): One of the hottest clothing items on the show floor at the D23 Expo was the swanky Mickey Travels satin jacket series, featuring Minnie and Mickey at various locations. For now, these are a limited release and will only be available overseas or at the Uniqlo in Disney Springs and New York City, but we’ve got our fingers crossed for a wider release.

3. Cakeworthy x Disney: Leslie Kay (of DisneyBound fame) announced during the D23 Expo that her company Cakeworthy is now an official partner of the Walt Disney Company. Currently, they offer Disney-influenced pieces like this Pineapple Whip Purse ($45), as well as flannels with sayings like “Twinkle twinkle little bat,” but this fall they’ll also feature beloved Disney characters.

4. The Muppets Collection by Irregular Choice: If you’re not afraid to boldly show your love for the Muppets (and we mean BOLDLY), then this upcoming collection from the whimsical designers at Irregular Choice is for you. There are Animal loafers and Gonzo pumps galore, as well as over-the-top homages to Miss Piggy. While you’ll have to wait until fall to shop this collection, you can snap up adorable pieces from their Mickey Mouse and Friends collection RN (the Chip and Dale Flats [$190] are adorbs).

5. LuLaRoe’s Disney Collection: There was crazy enthusiasm for cult clothier LuLaRoe’s booth at the D23 Expo, not just because they unveiled a whole slew of new patterns based on iconic Disney characters — from a psychedelic Bambi print to a collage of Mickey’s hands doing sign language — but also because they were handing out free leggings twice a day. But you can’t merely walk into any store to buy LulaRoe products; you have to find an “Independent Fashion Retailer” near you (kind of like a leggings-clad Avon lady). You can find one here.

6. Her Universe x Disney Parks Dresses: We so wish we could share images of the upcoming dresses honoring Disney Parks by the pop culture clothing maven and actress Ashley Eckstein. The inspired line was teased at D23 (that’s Eckstein above, modeling the Minnie Mouse dress they offered exclusively at the Expo). Alas, we’ll all just have to be patient, as the frocks are still in the works. In the meantime, check out mockups of the cuteness on Disneystyle. (Photo via Her Universe)

7. Charlotte Olympia x Marvel: We’d love to get caught in Charlotte Olympia’s web, especially when it’s so cute. They’ve created swanky red Incy Cool Cat Spiderweb kicks ($295) for kids and Super Octavia black webbed stilettos ($1,575) for the adult set, plus some can’t-miss accessories inspired by our favorite superhero.

8. Harveys California Puppy Foldover ($138): Those Harvey seat-belt bags have been around for a while, but we’ve never seen one this fun. This 101 Dalmatians purse is just one of their ongoing mashups of their classic bags with iconic Disney films.

9. STATE Bags x Star Wars: For a statement-making backpack (with a good deed attached), pick up one of the Star Wars backpacks available exclusively at STATE Bags. For every backpack sold, a fully loaded backpack is given to a child in need right here in the US.

The Sandy Liang x Baggu Collab Is Getting Restocked Next Week With A New Holiday Bag Design

Clad with Liang-like designs from feminine pink bows to Chinatown grandmother-inspired prints, the Sandy Liang x Baggu collab is one the girlies have very obviously been going feral for. Baggu's bag and tote designs are *so* easy to wear, and they're crafted at an approachable price point, so it was super exciting to get a taste of Liang's more elevated designs via the collection that dropped in August. Even months after the entire edit sold out, the girlies are still gabbing over it – which is likely why the brands are bringing it back – with the addition a brand-new bow-covered bag!

Below, an introduction to the Mini Bow Bag in Candy Apple, and everything you need to know about snagging the restock ahead of the crowd.

When will the Sandy Liang x Baggu collection get a restock?

According to Baggu, the Sandy Liang collaboration will be restocked online on Tuesday, November 14 starting at 10am PST. It will also be available the same day in BAGGU stores upon opening.

16 Foods To Instantly Give Your Skin An Inside-Out Glow For Summer

What you eat can greatly affect your skin, causing different side effects, both good and bad. Luckily, there are so many foods that can revitalize your skin and get it back to feeling radiant and looking glowy from the inside out — and just in time for summer! If you don't know where to start, we've got you covered with expert advice on all the best foods for your skin, plus all those bites you might wanna avoid.

Best Foods For Your Skin

Grapes, Strawberries, Blood Oranges, and Watermelon

Elina Fedotova of Elina Organics, says that colorful fruit are key to achieving good skin! She says, "Colorful fruits and vegetables are rich in antioxidants, and healthy fats like butter or plant oils help improve skin immunity and protect against environmental UV damage. Liquid collagen is popular as a skin-rejuvenating food or supplement, but when you do that, make sure you are making the smoothie with collagen peptides. The collagen is broken into small pieces called peptides which absorb much better and signal your body to regenerate collagen." So clearly, collagen is vital if you want to have glowy skin.

Elina also says, "It is a scientifically proven fact that people who eat very high levels of antioxidant-rich diets with fruits and vegetables and anthocyanosides — they can stay in the sun without any protection much longer because their body can protect them naturally from UV damage." Her three rules for healthy skin?

No processed foods.
Eat tons of antioxidants.
Use an SPF — preferably one that is a mineral Zinc Oxide based — alongside protective hats in the sun.

So not only can certain foods make your skin look radiant, they can also protecting you from the sun with proper precautions! We love to hear that!

Leafy Greens, Broccoli, Asparagus, and Edamame

Leafy greens, broccoli, asparagus, and edamame are some of our favorite foods to eat that will give you that inside-out glow. Nutritionist and wellness expert Jessica Green says, "Silica rich foods are a great place to start — these include celery, asparagus, banana, cucumber, green beans to name my favorite. When you juice some of these, they can become more bio-available. Celery juice for instance is excellent at giving your skin a beautiful natural glow. Collagen rich foods can help improve skin elasticity — bone broth is my absolute favorite for not only its skin benefit but bone broth is also very calming for the gut."

Skin elasticity can easily be improved through these foods and can make you look 10 years younger! I definitely notice a significant difference in my skin when I regularly eat collagen-rich foods than when I don't!

Avocado and Olive Oil

Avocados and olive oil are really going to up your skin game, and giving you that gorgeous glow for summer we're really looking for. Kristen White, RDN, CLT, says, "Clean fats like olive oil, avocados, coconut oil, and tallow in our diet help replenish needed vitamins and fatty acids to help skin look its vibrant best." That's exactly what we want!

In regards to olive oil, it really is the must-have when it comes to achieving a glowy complexion. Jenny Jiles, a holistic nutritionist says, "Olive oil is the GOAT. We know why all of those women in the Mediterranean look so vibrant and sexy as they age, because olive oil is such a staple in their diet. Don’t be afraid of this healthy fat, it’s filled with antioxidants and omega 3 fatty acids which help protect your skin from free radicals to reduce those fine lines and help you glow from the inside out. Add olive oil to any and all of your meals, savory or sweet (yes, trust me on that)." So I guess the key to looking like an Italian goddess this summer (and always) is olive oil!

Chia, Flax Seeds, and Sunflower Seeds

Many seeds and grains are going to be crucial in giving you radiant skin. Plus, they have so many healing properties that can help reduce redness and inflammation in the skin. Christine Glaser, CEO of DIY Skincare Business, says, "Chia and flax seeds are also helpful for all skin types and can aid in toxin removal." And sunflower seeds actually have antibacterial properties too that help get rid of toxins in order to keep your skin looking fresh and clear; thus the radiant skin we're trying to achieve here!

Red Bell Peppers, Carrot, and Tomatoes

You always want to have a variety of colors when eating fruits and vegetables because this will help you get the most out of your diet and achieve maximum radiance. A health expert and dietician, Chrissy Arsenault of Kori, says, "Eat lots of fruits and veggies. Choose 2-3 colors of fruits and veggies at every meal – fruits and veggies are rich in antioxidants (vitamins A, C, E) that protect your skin from damage." And tomatoes, carrots, and bell peppers are very rich in color so they will give you so many great nutritional benefits that will assist in giving you a perfect inside-out glow!

What foods should I avoid for my skin?

Photo by MART PRODUCTION/PEXELS

If you want radiant, clear, acne-free skin then you definitely want to avoid foods high in dairy or sugar. Jessica Green says, "When it comes to foods to avoid for radiant skin, sugar and dairy float to the top. Both are inflammatory. Sugar causes glycation which damages the skin's elasticity. Dairy (cow dairy specifically) tends to be one of the most common foods that cause reactions for people including acne and puffiness." I'm definitely taking note to try and cut our these foods now!

RIP Rory Gilmore, You Would’ve Loved These Two “Tortured Poets Department” Songs

If there are two things you can count on, it's that I'm always thinking about Gilmore Girls and I'm always listening to Taylor Swift. As soon as I pressed play on The Tortured Poets Department, I could tell this album would resonate with so many experiences I had a child and a teenager. I've always been imaginative (and, admittedly, a bit spacey), and to this day, I never leave home without a book.

I've built thousands of imaginary worlds and crafted endless stories, but have always had difficulty keeping up with real-world relationships. So, needless to say, when I listened to Taylor Swift's new album and heard "I Hate It Here" and "The Bolter," I felt seen. I also realized these two songs would speak to Rory Gilmore in the same way!

Rory Gilmore Would Love "I Hate It Here" By Taylor Swift...

Image via Warner Bros. TV

"I Hate It Here" totally showcases Taylor Swift's ability to express raw emotions, and it also perfectly captures Rory Gilmore's struggles during certain periods of her life. The lyrics reflect frustration and dissatisfaction we can all feel sometimes (I know I've definitely felt them), and while Rory and Taylor's dreams in and of themselves are different, they both want to leave their small towns to achieve them. Whether it's feeling overwhelmed by expectations or facing setbacks in her career in Gilmore Girls season 5, Rory has moments throughout the series where she feels a bit trapped.

But even more than the physical meaning of the song is the imaginary one. Taylor sings about creating worlds in her mind and diving into books to escape the mundane. Rory reads more than any fictional character I've ever seen before because she also craves that escapism! The lyrics of "I Hate It Here" resonate with Rory when she wants to live different lives, and it encapsulates the moments when she struggles or questions her decisions — relatable!

...And She'd Feel Attacked By "The Bolter" By Taylor Swift

Image via Warner Bros. TV

TBH, I'm half convinced "The Bolter" is referencing Amy March (after all, Amy has been "reviled" by readers for hundreds of years, and she "almost drowned...in frigid water" like Taylor sings), which is just another literary reference Rory would pick up on.

In "The Bolter," Taylor Swift captures the essence of a woman constantly seeking adventure and change, just like Rory Gilmore, and it's all about the idea of a restless spirit. While the lyrics can be taken from a hypothetical standpoint (feeling trapped by relationships or other people's expectations), we can also talk about it literally considering Rory physically runs away from Jess.

Rory might desire love, but the idea of it also scares her — two facts that don't cancel each other out! Just like Taylor Swift, I think Rory's thrilled by the idea of escape simply because she's so risk averse in other areas of her life. Once again, I say, relatable!!

"The Bolter" and "I Hate It Here" are both incredibly engaging songs because they highlight just how complex we are as humans — both in the ways we relate to ourselves and other people. And they're just two Taylor Swift songs Rory would definitely add to her playlist.

Book Nooks Are The Trendiest Bathroom Decor Ideas Right Now

Bathroom decor is having a moment, becoming more than just a place to wipe and wash. Instead, they're turning into what some are calling spathrooms with big bathtubs, open showers, saunas, and spa-like amenities, according to 2024 design trend report by Cosentino. One trend putting the "room" in bathroom is the bathroom library, which fits right into the vintage, grandmillennial and cottagecore trends, with built-in shelves above vanities, around commodes, and front and center to warm up a bathroom vibe. Here's the skinny on these neat nooks and how you can make one yourself!

Design: De Rosee Salon | Photo: Astrid Templier

But some of us at here aren't so sure. What do you think? For me, I'm a bath lover and reader, so the combo is definitely appealing. However, I definitely would worry about moisture ruining my precious novels, or guests lingering in the bathroom too long, wrapped up in a good book. But those cons aside, I dig the idea of a book nook in my bathroom, especially for my kiddo who loves when I read to her in the bath, and is even now a voracious reader herself.

If you're into the idea and want to start with a small library vs. splurging on some fancy built-ins, then here are some shelving ideas that are perfect for books in a bathroom.
