Fashion: Anna Sui for Target
Designer-name fashion, affordable low-cost prices, and the cool factor of a hot TV drama? Meet the Anna Sui for Target line inspired by The CW’s hit show, Gossip Girl. The designer takes her artistic prints and colors and divides her limited-edition brand into categories based on the characters from the show, from chic Serena and classic Blair (like the Foulard printed dress with elastic belt in blue, pictured, $44.99, Target) to bohemian Vanessa and funky Jenny. But like all good gossip, the clothes will only be in Target stores for a limited time through October 17. So get texting: omg, bd got 2 go 2 target asap 4 anna sui! xoxo.

Video Games: Scribblenauts
The single greatest invention since the automobile — that’s what Nintendo Power magazine calls Scribblenauts ($29.99, major retailers). And gamers of all ages agree as they’re quickly latching on to the bandwagon. (Heck, even non-gamers are hopping on board.) The Nintendo DS game follows the adorable character Maxwell as he gathers Starites by solving a series of puzzles. But the innovative part is that the way you get through the 200 levels is by literally writing out a word for an object with the stylus and then using that object to achieve the goal. Perfectly melding the worlds of puzzle games and action-adventure games, Scribblenauts is officially changing the way you look at video games!

Music: Owl City
Adam Young went from composing songs in his Owatonna, Minnesota, basement to the top of the music charts under his one-man band moniker of Owl City in no time — and won celebrity fans along the way (Taylor Swift was recently spotted at his New York City show and recently tweeted, “Watching the video for ‘Fireflies’ by @owlcity over and over again.”) And the 23-year-old is just getting started. His album Ocean Eyes debuted on the Billboard album chart at 27 and his single “Fireflies” is currently Top 5 on iTunes. With a soothing voice mixed with innovative electronica beats plus a pop mentality, Owl City is well on its way to being one of the most popular destination spots in music history.

Book: I Can't Keep My Own Secrets
In a world of 140-character Twitter messages, Smith Magazine’s I Can’t Keep My Own Secrets ($8.99, bookstores) challenges teens ages 13 to 19 to write their life memoirs in just six words — and compiles more than 600 of them into this extremely revealing book of what teen life is really like: “Hair’s pink to piss you off.” “My dad has more MySpace friends.” “Edward Cullen is my fictional boyfriend.” “I was so much happier fat.” And those are just a taste of the heart-tugging yet witty secrets that are shared with the world. Celebrity teens also reveal their lives, from The Secret Life of the American Teenager’s Shailene Woodley’s “Eyes closed, rain pours. An inspiration” to singer Taylor Swift’s “My diary is read by everyone.” It’s the book you can flip through in six-word increments, but that sticks with you through life.
