"Editor, Director, Plus I'm My Own Boss." - Kreayshawn

Meet the creator.
Since I started RSP, followers have been inquiring about my personal style and have asked life-altering questions which have utterly and irreparably changed my existence. Here are the answers...
What I'm listening to at this very moment...


What's in my closet?
I have a couple of
Marc Jacobs blazers that I truly love. You can find a few tops from Alice + Olivia, Rebecca Taylor, See by Chloe, Wyton, Myne, Elizabeth and James, Diane Von Fursternberg and Alexander Wang. I have a Phillip Lim dress for days when I am feeling extra girly. I of course have a lot of basics from American Apparel and a few fun tops and skirts from Forever21, Zara and H&M. I also love to stock up on over-sized cardigans, tanks and tights from Urban Outfitters.
And don't be surprised if you find me in a thrift store, that's right, I am totally game for a $1.95 sweater from 1992. I would love to add a little Zac Posen, Balmain or Isabel Morant to my closet but as of yet that's just wishful thinking.
Denim?
I'm into quality denim with everything from Paige, J
Brand, Joe's, Seven's, Hudson's, Rich & Skinny to Rock and Republics. I have one too many pairs of Insight skinny jeans - adore the fit. (Wearing Joie dress, Urban Outfitter tights, White House Black Market heels, Betsey Johnson necklace, layered Henri Bendel, Hayden Harnett, Marc Jacobs and Kate Spade bracelets.)

Handbags?
Hmmm let's list the faves I've been wearing recently - Fendi vintage clutch, YSL vintage clutch (a common theme! I am obsessed with designer vintage clutches) and a Marc by Marc Jacobs hobo in nude. I have my eye on the Mulberry Alexa bag in black....hmmmm now I just need to figure out how to afford it!

Shoes?
Haltson Heritage ballet flats in black with gold detail,
YSL Tribute pumps in black and Stuart Weitzman peep toes in gray are a few signatures.

Fave lipstick?

How about a tie? Mac in Myth or Mac in Girl About Town. If I'm really feeling sassy then you will catch me in Chanel Rouge Coco in Paris.
What am I drinking?
Green tea with steamed soy milk and two honey. If I'm really going big, well then, that's easy - champagne with fresh strawberries.
Five things in my handbag right now?
Business cards, Orbit spearmint gum, Nars Orgasm blush, Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer in Golden Radiance and Soft Lips Vanilla lip balm.

Behind the Photo Shoot: Styling for Audrey Kitching's Coco de Coeur Summer Collection Look Book

What do you get when you combine Hollywood Boulevard, punk, powderpuff, a tutu, pink hair, an array of Jeffrey Campbell platforms, Seventeen magazine's Bebe Zeva and THE Audrey Kitching with none other than myself? I will give you one guess.Give up? You get Audrey Kitching's Coco de Coeur's editorial for her new summer collection!

Anyone who personally knows me can surely tell you that I am all about classic style with just a delicate hint of edge. I love feminine, sophisticated and bold pieces yet I'm not afraid of a little bit of structure now and then. With Emmanuelle Alt and Clemence Poesy as my go-to for all style inspiration you might be laughing out loud at the mere thought of me, yes me, styling a punk-esque photo shoot.

All I can say is that it was basically like playing dress up in someone else's closet when you are five years old, pure magical bliss. Here's a few of my favorite looks styled during the shoot...

Borderline New Obsession: My-Wardobe.com



Online shopping? Um, yes please. My-Wardobe.com? Make that an absolute yes please. With designers like Vivienne Westwood, Preen, Marc by Marc Jacobs, Mulberry and Vince you better bet your Louboutins I'm prowling the site via my Lap Top, in PJ's, in bed, shopping my heart away.

Online shopping makes my life a whole lot easier, let me tell you! Regardless of your budget or personal style preference you always can find something that tickles your fancy while shopping online. It's time to throw out the common misbelief that to be stylish requires spending a lot of money. Fashion-lovers can make the mistake by thinking that casual and everyday style just can't be inexpensive. However, if you have the patience to search, you will find that this is simply not the case. As fashion continually grows and expands, and as people never stop wanting inexpensive options, stylish but casual attire is becoming more and more available at affordable prices. More than ever, inexpensive does not equate to poor quality, and casual can be quite stylish.
With that said, however, there is a ton of casual looking clothing out there that is extremely high quality, for of course, a bit more of a price. For example, if budget is less of a concern and you are looking for something both stylish yet casual, then you will opt for something like the Vivienne Westwood collections.Style is about balance – looking stylish without looking like you put forth too much effort, or looking casual in high quality clothing. These are some of the sometimes difficult balances that a designer like Vivienne Westwood can help any gal or guy strike, as she offers a variety of clothing such as loose, light weight tops, modern yet romantic skirts, and inventive but classic jackets. This is just one example of a designer that, despite some rather pricey options, offers you the ability to look effortlessly striking and subtly elegant. For the everyday woman’s style, it can be a perfect option.
We all are frequently frustrated in our search for clothing that fits both our budgets, our social attitudes and our desired appearances. While this struggle is understandable, it is also relatively unnecessary when you consider the breadth of options available on the Internet or in stores. With just a little bit of searching, you can always find a collection or option that perfectly suits your fashion desires and personal budget. Everyday style just got that much easier!
