It was a sad day in April when fashion designer Betsey Johnson filed for bankruptcy and announced most of her stores would close. We couldn't imagine a world without Johnson and her outrageous dresses … but now we don't have to. She's back in action with a new line. Word is the dresses will retail between $99 and $249, and will likely launch in stores this spring.

We couldn't be more excited. Though we were sad when Johnson filed for Chapter Nine, we could never really afford most of her pretty, girly-girl/punk rock dresses anyway. (The average cost of a Betsey Johnson party dress was about $350 -- yikes.) Johnson's new line is by no means cheap, but at least it's a little more reasonably priced -- and takes into account her younger (sometimes cash-strapped) fans.

There aren't any images of the new dress line yet, but she is slated to show during New York Fashion Week in September. Until

These days, unusual fashion designer collaborations are par for the course. Karl Lagerfeld has teamed up with H&M, Jonathan Adler has collaborated with Mattel, and Jean Paul Gaultier has joined forces with Diet Coke … so is it really surprising that fashion designer Isaac Mizrahi is creating a limited-edition clothing line inspired by the 2013 Chevy Malibu?

Mizrahi told WWD, "If you look at the car, there are certain angles, lines, and thoughts that evoke ideas about clothes." Clearly, that's what makes Mizrahi a successful fashion designer. Because when we look at a Chevy, we see … well, a car -- not a line of fashionable dresses. Don't get us wrong, there's nothing wrong with Chevrolet … but we don't exactly associate it with high fashion. But that doesn't mean Mizrahi's collection won't be completely fabulous.

Diaper Rash Ointment

"The most embarrassing thing in my beauty bag? That would have to be diaper rash ointment. It's the most amazing thing ever if you have dry elbows and heels or chapped lips, like I always do. But of course I bury it at the bottom of my bag because it's a weird thing to have." --

It used to be that small trucks were only good for moving, handing out ice cream, and lending books. Not anymore. First, people got gourmet-on-the-go with the rise of food trucks. And now it seems like the fashion industry is hopping on board the truck trend. Only instead of burgers and fries, they're serving up clothes and accessories.

These fashion trucks cropping up all over the nation have us beyond excited. Take Styleline in New York City for example. It's a potato chip truck transformed into an '80s glam shop stocked with hard-to-find accessories like a $430 crystal-and-fringe necklace. Or Bootleg, a shoe boutique in Austin, Texas that offers cute polka dot flats and gold lace-up sandals. The idea is to make the shopping experience more personal and intimate, while encouraging independent business. After all, it's a lot easier and cheaper to own a truck than a brick and mortar store. And the trucks can move around, bringing

We can't help but think … isn't Wet 'n' Wild a little late to the game? "Saved by the Bell" has been off the air for 19 years! And while we love a blast from the past, the nail polish collection seems like it probably would've sold better in the early '90s -- ya know, when Mario Lopez was still a teen heartthrob.

Remember in elementary school when your Lisa Frank trapper keeper was the equivalent of a Chanel purse? It was the ultimate accessory. Well, now it seems that those signature purple pandas and smiling orca whales may actually have a place in the fashion world. No, really. Lisa Frank is making a comeback … or at least attempting to, and we kinda like it.

First, there's the Lisa Frank app, which launched in mid-July, and allows you to adorn your photos with her trademark stickers and then share them on Facebook and Twitter. Most recently, the elusive Lisa Frank herself (yes, she's actually a real woman) gave a rare interview to The Daily. She reminisced on the beginnings of her rainbow and unicorn empire, and suggested that reality TV could be on the horizon. Frank cited "Project Runway" as one of her favorite shows, and we could totally see her prancing puppies and bunnies easily translating into an awesome PR challenge.

With the Olympics in full swing, we can't get enough of the amazingly talented (and hard-working) female athletes -- especially the gymnasts.
