Meet Kelly.

RSP: Favorite color?

Kell: Green. Kelly Green. Yep.

RSP: What are you drinking?

Kell: Whiskey diet. Word.

RSP: Where can we find you?

BDG "skinny" denim, vintage shrunken flannel, Seychelles "Tryst" flats and skinny Urban Outfitters belt.

RSP: Best bargain…fashion wise?

Kell: BDG denim from Urban Outfitters. Talk about bang for your buck!

RSP: What do you do in your spare time?

Kell: Read, write, draw, run, socialize. Oh, and fantasize about my imaginary rock band.

RSP: What are a few of your vices?

Kell: Diet soda, pop tarts, and cigarettes.

Vintage Gucci satchel.

Editor's Guide to Los Angeles: THREAD Eyebrows on Melrose

Where should a girl get her eyebrows shaped? We've all heard it...eyebrows frame your face therefore it is an absolute must to upkeep your brows. Having your brows shaped is one of the key elements for creating your signature look. It doesn't matter how well-styled the rest of your outfit is if your eyebrows are unkempt. In fact, they can be downright distracting if they are not shaped properly or maintained.

Don't skimp on keeping your brows in tip top shape. My pick? I go to THREAD on Melrose, every time.

Threading is quick with minimal pain (compared to waxing!) and this hip spot is strategically placed on Melrose with late hours open until 11 PM.

Major perk? A sleek ambiance and ultracool playlist get you in the mood for your next stop...wherever it may be, your brows will be looking good.

Cross My Heart: Style Interview with Brittany Balyn of StyleHaul

If you have caught on, you would have realized that we really do feature everyday girls with everyday style. Yesterday it was a Christian-Louboutin-loving and Tom-Ford-lip-stick-wearing Bergdorf devotee. Today it's a Nasty-Gal-shopping, lavendar-hair-coloring and Jeffrey-Campbell strutting-girly girl. We told you that we feature extreme opposites and with that said, everything in between.

Who's our pick today?
Meet Brittany Bayln, vlogger for StyleHaul. Here's what you need to know:

RSP: Why do you personally recommend StyleHaul to the everyday girl? Why can it help?
Brittany: I absolutely love the LEAF videos on StyleHaul, they are creative, quick, and cute!

RSP: Style influence? Runway? Celebrity? Icons in the industry? Muses? Models?
Brittany: I try to pull inspiration from everywhere- all of the above listed. It changes all the time but my two current favorites this past month have been One of Each Blog and Spells Jewellery.

RSP: Describe your look in three words:
Brittany: Pale, Dark, Lavender.

RSP: What is your most prized fashion possession?
Brittany: I don't know what I would do without my JC Lana's- they are comfy yet still make me tall!

RSP: What makes you tick?
Brittany: Iced Coffee and Kind/Caring People.

RSP: Favorite places to shop?
Brittany: NastyGal, Tobi, Romwe, SoleStruck, Brandy Melville, Topshop, Asos, and discount stores (I love a good deal).

RSP: Lip skincare:
Brittany: This may be odd, but when I brush my teeth I brush my lips to exfoliate. Also any and all chapstick 24/7.

RSP: Brands from head-to-toe?
Brittany: If I had to pick one for each body part Pureology for washing hair, Pravana for hair dye, Amore Pacific for skin, MAC for Eye and Lips, Laura Mercier for face, NastyGal for Clothes, JC for shoes, Mr. Kate for arm candy, and finally Michael Kors for my signature scent.

RSP: What's in your evening clutch?
Brittany: Right now? Can be seen here.

RSP: Drink of choice?
The ABC Drink- Freshly made Apple, Beet, & Carrot.
Or if alcoholic- Mimosa, Bellini, or Moscow Mule

Caviar Dreams: Exclusive Style Interview with Lisa Price

  

RSP: What is your position in the fashion industry? 

Lisa: Besides being a heavy consumer? I created a fashion blog, LisaPriceInc., where I share my greatest obsessions, new found treasures, and an occasional brutal dis or few.

RSP: Style influence? Runway? Celebrity? Icons in the industry? Muses? Models? 

Lisa: Oh gosh, what doesn't inspire my style! I would definitely have to say I'm much more runway inspired than celebrity inspired...red-soled shoes, big cities, sparkle, Kate Moss, champagne nights, the entire Andy Warhol era, orange boxes (Hermés), the movie Party Girl, cupcakes with lots of frostine, the Olsen twins - although I hate to admit it - it all inspires my style.

RSP: Describe your look in three words:

Lisa: Glitzy, bold, and quite-a-bit-of-black.

RSP: What is your most prized fashion possession?

Lisa: As loyal as I am in person, I'm not very loyal to my closet...my favorites change every second! But, I'd have to say that the possession that I'm most proud of (and so ready to whip out come fall) are my knee high, black suede and gold studded Christian Louboutin boots. They're so hot and strut circles around every other pair of shoes in my closet. I can't even take credit for them though, because my boyfriend actually picked them out, but I really do love them...and his great taste!

RSP: Pet Peeves?
Lisa: Overly plucked eyebrows, maraschino cherries in my cocktails, and Herve Leger bandage dresses worn in the daytime. 

RSP: Favorite places to shop?
Lisa: I'm a Neiman's girl by genetics and Bergdorf Goodman is my temple. I'm also a huge online shopper. It's a little bit excessive.

RSP: Lip balm flavor?
Lisa: Sugar by Fresh. It's the best lip treatment in the world, has SPF 15 in it, and tastes amazing. I make sure to never run out of stock.

RSP: What's in your evening clutch?
Lisa: I can actually count the items I bring out with me at night on one hand; my ID, my amex, Tom Ford lipstick (in whatever shade I'm wearing that night), my iPhone, and fashion tape! Ok, and maybe I'll throw in a mint or two from dinner...but, you have got to be a minimalist when it comes to Judith Leiber.

RSP: Where can we find you in NYC? 

Lisa: On the 7th floor of Bergdorf Goodman's sipping on a flute of Sheer Glamour (champagne, plum bitters, raw sugar) while I muster up a little strength to tackle the shoe salon.

RSP: Drink of choice? 

Lisa: Bubbles!

Event Coverage: Midori Makeover Parlour at Fred Segal Santa Monica

Let's get real. If I am going to venture to the Westside there had better be a good reason. Especially since I have been appropriately deemed the world's slowest driver. With that said, Midori hosted a beauty event at Fred Segal Salon in Santa Monica (Midori Makeover Parlour to be exact) and introduced me to Midor melon martinis, ombre nail art and Fred Segal Yoga (who knew?)...in short after an evening of sips, pampering and mingling, I have added this little sanctuary to my list of Los Angeles picks. Highlights?

Loose curls courtesy of their dry bar...

Nails (I'm all about the details)

Drink of the evening...
Midori Melon Martini, yes please.

Beauty, shopping and yoga? Namaste.

"It's because of mags, magazines. The Marie, the Claire, The Marie-Claire," - Yelle

Meet Rachael.

RSP: What is your current occupation?
Rach: I make stiff drinks. Cosmo anyone?

RSP: Which fashion designers or runway trends influence your overall look?
Rach: I’m a really simple girl when it comes down to it. I like what looks good and I don't really care who makes it. However, I do love anything Gucci or Saint Laurent Paris and I am into Karl Lagerfield, Bestey Johnson, Phillip Lim and Diane Von Furstenburg.

RSP: Best bargain…fashion wise?
Rach: American Apparel has great T-shirts and tank tops.

Rach is wearing a Joie blouse, American Apparel leggings, Forever21 necklace and a Chanel Watch.

Rachael and yours truly.

A little sneak peek behind the scenes of styling the girls for RSP. We start in their closet, pull apparel & accessories, select a location, snap a few photos and the rest is history!

"Girls, Girls, Girls. I Like Them, I Like Them. I Really, Really Like Them."

In case it's been a while and you feel like it's time to get reacquainted with the girls of Rich Skinny Pretty, this is just for you...

If you haven't figured it out yet, Rich Skinny Pretty isn't actually about being rich, skinny or pretty. In fact, if you are one of the bright crayons in the crayon box you might have noticed that we here at RSP appreciate a range of style. That's why we have featured everything from your trendy, label-loving, Neiman-Marcus-shopping girly girl to your eclectic, thrift-store perusing, vintage-inspired hipster and with that said, everything in between. Enough of looking to celebs and socialites for inspiration. What about regular girls? Girls with 9-5 jobs? Girls just like you and me? Remember them?

You might find some looks too safe or boring while others too edgy while some too trendy. That's the point. We don't cater to a specific aesthetic or taste. Instead, we embrace a range of personal style and encourage you to define your own. That's simply what we are all about.

And for those moments when you are curious to know what the industry pros are up to, we are happy to deliver exclusive interviews.  We feature fashion power players monthly to give you an idea of what they wear on coffee runs to front row. Hey, maybe they will inspire you, or at the end of the day it might just be Kell, Ash, Rach, Courtney or Jamie...either way that's what the girls of RSP are here for.

                                      What are they listening to this week?
