Is your favorite Kelly?

RSP: Which fashion designers or runway trends influence your overall look?
Kell: It’s hard to put my finger on just one, I’m scandalous when it comes to fashion I suppose. Chloe always seems to know what’s up…the same thing that’s been up for the last 60 years! Everything Chloe touches sings vintage, eclectic, antiquity.

RSP: Favorite place to shop?
Kell: Amvets and Top Shop.


RSP: What are you drinking?
Kell: Whiskey diet. Word.




Is your favorite Ashley?
RSP: What is your most prized fashion possession?
Ash: My most prized fashion possession would be my Diesel skinny jeans, I feel like I'm in my own skin, really comfortable. I can dress them up with for date night with my boyfriend, or wear them with some converse while riding my bike around town. Super easy to feel casual yet put together.


RSP: Best bargain…fashion wise?
Ash: Consignment shops are the way to go.


RSP: Finish this sentence: “I Wish…"
Ash: I wish I didn’t have such a dirty since of humor. A little inappropriate at times…
RSP: Oh but Ashley this is why we love you.

Is your favorite Rachael? RSP: What can we find in your closet? Please include specific items, accessories and brands.
Rach: In my closet you will find shoes, shoes, shoes…I have sooo many shoes. Christian Louboutin, Chloe, YSL, Manolo Blahnik, BCBG, Giuseppe Zanotti, etc. I feel like no matter what you wear if you have the right shoes you can't go wrong. I splurge on designer and quality shoes, handbags, watches and sunglasses. I also have a ton of American Apparel clothing. I like how simple they are but everything is so versatile as well. It’s fun to mess around with all their patterns and colors and just make it your own.

RSP: Favorite place to shop?
Rach: Bloomies, Saks, Neiman Marcus, American Apparel, Forever21, ShopBop.com.

Is your favorite Courtney?RSP: How would you describe your look?

Court: I like to mix a couple high end pieces with the rest being more
bohemian. My boyfriend calls it “cruiser-chic.”


RSP: Who’s your favorite model?
Court: Jessica Stam.


RSP: What are a few of your vices?
Court: Coffee, coffee, coffee.

Good luck!!

Teen Vogue Blogger Lounge at WWDMAGIC

Fact: Personally being invited to the Teen Vogue blogger lounge at WWDMAGIC has without a doubt been one of the highlights of my life.

Fact: Seeing firsthand the styles and trends for fall by some of my favorite designers has been absolutely dreamy.

Fact: Meeting my favorite fashion bloggers while admiring their personal style will go down in history books, well at least my history book ;)


Here are a few of the highlights...obviously what the bloggers were wearing are THE highlights.


Plus meeting Jane Alrdridge of Sea of Shoes, Colby Jordan of Minnie Muse, Bebe Zeva of Fated to be Hated, Erica Dolmesek of PS I Made This, Audrey Kitching of The Audrey Kitching, Jennifer Margolin of Red Sole Diaries (she really does wear Christian Louboutins daily!) and sharing a limo ride with Jazzi McGilbert of Jazzimcg to a private Rebecca Minkoff dinner with the CMO attending all wasn't half bad either. Oh and did I mention hanging out with Crosby Noricks of PR Couture on the regular? But hey, CN and I already go way back, in fact, we already have a few sleepovers under our belts.


And it goes a little something like this...

Day 1: How every woman should start her day...with the fashion bible and a little Starbucks. My golden ticket you ask? Venti Zen Green Tea with 2" steamed soy and honey. No artificial flavors thank you very much.


Day Deux:
Good morning sunshine.

Not gonna lie, it's not everyday that you are blogging right next to Bebe Zeva, Jane Aldridge or Colby Jordan.
Erica Domesek autographing her book for bloggers.
The myth, the legend, the Crosby Noricks of PR Couture.
Snack time. Bebe's must-haves? Mountain Dew with Ice and preferably Doritos however BBQ potato chips will suffice.
Style Highlights.
Jane's shoes.The bold shoulders and color are head-turning.Rebecca Minkoff makeup case. Who doesn't love embellishment? Ela Rae bracelets.
As you know I am obsessed with layering bracelets and these are simply to die for.

Faves? DKNY Leather, Pour Le Victoire flats and my Sony Bloggie ♥
