I love fashion cause every outfit or shirt reminds me of a memory I had in it. I wont even even wear one of my MATIX shirts cause I got broken up with in it. It's bad luck but I cant get rid of it.

RSP: Must have make-up?
Jamie: I'm with Kelly on La Bella Donna loose powder. It makes the face look flawless. I also love any eyeshadow from MAC. Love, love, love the pink mascara from Maybelline. I don't care what people say, it's still the best. DARK eyes and a pale lip. XOXO

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. I also love what Karl Lagerfield has done for Chanel- he keeps the fashion house timeless and classic yet modern. Bestey Johnson, Phillip Lim and Diane Von Furstenburg are a few of my other favorites.

RSP: What is the biggest TREND or MUST- HAVE ITEM for summer?
Rach: A girl can never have enough bikinis, especially here in San Diego. Every summer I add to my collection of bikinis. I love when girls can make a beach day look super classy and sexy. It’s another reason to dress up, the beach doesn’t have to be casual. Throw on a Versace, Vix or Micheal Kors bikini, Chloe Sunglasses and layer a few bracelets and voila, you are beach-ready.

RSP: What is your most prized fashion possession?
Rach: I’m really into quality jewelery. I think if you are going to spend money, you should spend money on beautiful and timeless pieces that you will have forever. I have a diamond ring my dad bought me for high school graduation that I will keep forever. That is definitely my prized possession.

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. I get a lot of inspiration for my personal style from people around me, girls with my same body type or personality. I think every girl should have their own style whatever it may be.

RSP: In your opinion what is the biggest fashion faux pas???
Rach: Fresh polish is a must for me. I cringe when I see chipped nails. Either do it yourself and grab some nail polish remover or get your self to the nail salon ladies, no excuses!

RSP: Favorite color?
Rach: Black.

RSP: Favorite place to shop?
Rach: Bloomies, Saks, Neiman Marcus, Del Mar and Rancho Santa Fe have some great boutiques, American Apparel, Forever21.

RSP: How would you describe your look?
Rach: Trendy and girly.

RSP: What’s on your i-pod right now?
Rach: Basically everything, from reggae to techno to Britney to hip hop.

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

RSP: What do you do in your spare time?
Rach: In my free time I love to work out…I am completely obsessed with heated yoga and anything outside. I think it is so important to take care of our bodies not only for health but we do tend to live in our bikini over summer so you better believe I work hard to stay in shape. I love to spend time with family and friends.

RSP: What are a few of your vices?
Rach: Candy…um Sweet Factory for sure. Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream too! Yum.

Meet Kelly

RSP: What is your current occupation?
Kell: Consumer? I consume fashion like Chuck Norris consumes babies. Haha. I work at Free People right now, so I suppose I also sell it. I’m a hustler baby.

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. I also think music often shapes fashion, and I love music, so I’m sure you can decipher my feelings on fashion.

RSP: What is the biggest TREND or MUST- HAVE ITEM for summer?
Kell: Well if it wasn’t for my big toenail falling off I would have to say strappy flat sandals and wedges. So instead I’m gonna have to go with a Gidget bikini. The one piece halter kind that gathers at the sides and is like little shorts at the bottom. Juicy Couture is making a lovely one of that sort.

RSP: What is your most prized fashion possession?
Kell: My Kelly green Dolce & Gabanna Pea coat. Fo Sho!

RSP: What can we find in your closet? Please include specific items, accessories and brands.
Kell: Lots of skinny jeans…BDG, Dickies, Red Engine, William Rast, ect. Men’s T-shirts…many of which with the sleeves cut off. Not sure on brands, mostly band shirts. Jackets galore! Members Only, True Religion, Dolce & Gabanna, Tracey Reese, Vintage, Top Shop, etc. Shoes. Duh. Converse, Nike, Seychelles, Kors, L’Autre Chose, Report, blahblahblah.

RSP: In your opinion what is the biggest fashion faux pas???
Kell: Ummmmmm, caring too much I do declare! Matchy matchy is over-rated, as is regularly laundering your clothing. I like character...I like it when clothes look used. Rainbow sandals make me want to vomit. I don’t much care for stiletto heels either. Femininity is a bit out done as well. I like a more androgynous look.

RSP: Favorite color?
Kell: Green. Kelly Green. Yep.

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

RSP: Must have make-up?
Kell: Bella Donna loose powder. One word: AMAZING. Oh yeah, and cheap black eyeliner from CVS or Target.

RSP: How would you describe your look?
Kell: I’m all over the place. Edgy, vintage, eclectic, androgynous. That pretty much sums in up.

RSP: What’s on your i-pod right now?
Kell: The Modern Lovers. I heart Jonathan Richman.

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.

RSP: Favorite things…in general?
Kell: My cat (Chloe), rain, jap-anime, artichokes, MUSIC, the GAA, making out.

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

RSP: Hotspot's?
Kell: Any dive bar…the dirtier the better. There had better be a good chance the man sitting next to me is over 60 and missing teeth.

RSP: New or Used?
Kell: Used…rock it till the wheels fall off.

RSP: Most recent purchases?
Kell: A ragged moth eaten cardigan and dirty men’s button down from a thrift store on Fairfax and some super sexy strappy wedges from Free People.

RSP: Favorite magazine?
Kell: Nylon…they get the music/fashion thing.

RSP: What are you reading at the moment?
Kell: A couple of things…“England’s Dreaming: Anarchy, Sex Pistols, Punk Rock, and Beyond” by Jon Savage. I’m also reading “The Witching Hour” by Anne Rice.

RSP: Who’s your favorite model?
Kell: Agnes Deyn.

RSP: Who are your fashion icons?
Kell: Edie Sedgwick, Sienna Miller, Kate Moss, and Sid Vicious.

RSP: Finish this sentence: “I Wish…"
Kell: I lived in Ireland and was in an awesome band. And that my cat could come with.

Meet Ashley

RSP: What is your current occupation?
Ash: I do not currently work in the fashion industry; however my goals and passions have been in the beauty and fashion industry since I can remember! Ideally, doing makeup for the runway would be a dream come true.

RSP: Which fashion designers or runway trends influence your overall look?
Ash: I gain inspiration and ideas from the runway trends of designers like Alexander Wang and Miu Miu. I’ve always appreciated the sophisticated looks of Prada however; I prefer a little more funk and edge then classic sophistication. I gravitate more towards neutral and basic pieces which can be layered for different desired looks; I feel Alexander Wang understands this and has created amazing clothing and looks just for me and my closet!

RSP: What is the biggest TREND or MUST- HAVE ITEM for summer?
Ash: For me and my fair skin, summer means a time for excessive sunscreen use. Since I have such a huge passion for skin and makeup I believe you can never do enough to tell our skin or face we appreciate them and want them to be around for a very long time! So, I use Being TRUE essential spf gel 30. The best part about the essential gel, is that it restores damaged skin while defending you and your skin against anymore harmful damage or premature aging. Total MUST!!

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: What can we find in your closet? Please include specific items, accessories and brands.
Ash: In my closet you will find a lot of ‘survivors’ from the past as I call them. I feel sort of like a hoarder…I keep everything (clothing wise) so I have items dating back to when I was in high school. I believe that everything comes back around, so saving and recreating is my favorite thing. I like to take a worn pair of old jeans and cut them off into some sexy shorts. I’ve been known to take shoulder bags from back in the day and recreate them into clutches. I love thrift stores so you'll see a lot of no names in my closet. The one area of fashion I do not skimp on is jeans. I have really long legs and it’s incredibly hard for me to find jeans that fit right and do not need to be altered to fit properly. I am willing to pay the big bucks to find the right pair of jeans. My favorite brands of jeans are Hudson, Frankie B, Diesel (amazing for length) and True Religion.

RSP: In your opinion what is the biggest fashion faux pas???
Ash: It really bothers me when women allow their thong to hang out the back of their pants. It is so gross to me that I feel offended when I see that!

RSP: Favorite color?
Ash: Cerulean blue.

RSP: Favorite place to shop?
Ash: D.A.V., Buffalo Exchange, Home, Loemans and any really good consignment shop. Sometimes I feel really overwhelmed in a place like Forever 21 because it's really un-organized so I never know where to start or how to create your own style around 8-thousand of the same items.

RSP: Must have make-up?
Ash: My biggest inspiration is Laura Mericer; her 60's inspired artistic style brings out my favorite items…black liner and fresh but polished face. She truly has an amazing ability to bring out ones’ uniqueness while being true to each individual personality and attributes. I look to her work for inspiration in creating confidence and uniqueness in myself and others. I also pretty much always wear Burt's Bees Lip Balm and my fave nail polish is China Glaze- "Ruby Pumps."

RSP: How would you describe your look?
Ash: I keep it simple, as far as accessories go. However, I do love earrings. I don't have a huge passion for tons of flare since I like to layer a lot with clothing. I take it easy on accessories so I don't feel like I'm wearing my entire closet at once!

RSP: What’s on your i-pod right now?
Ash: Siouxsie and the Banshees, Gang of Four, The Slits, The Vibrators, Blondie, Talking Heads, Elvis Costello, The Replacements, X, Blonde Redhead, Johnny Thunders, Bjork...

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

RSP: What do you do in your spare time?
Ash: In my free time I like to paint, read, spend time with my man and doggie, ride my bike, fly kites, roller skate, driving the coast with my windows down, bowl, hang out with friends and shop.

RSP: What are a few of your vices?
Ash: Coffee. And I can’t get enough M & M’s.

RSP: Favorite things…in general?
Ash: Friends, rice crispy treats, driving to collect my thoughts, bubble baths.

RSP: What are you drinking?
Ash: Tecate.

RSP: New or Used?
Ash: I think you know the answer to this one by now...

RSP: Most recent purchases.
Ash: Obey tank top.

RSP: Favorite magazine?
Ash: Nylon.

RSP: What are you reading at the moment?
Ash: Eckhart Tolles’ “A New-Awakening to your life’s Purpose” and John Martin’s “Run with the Hunted.”

RSP: Who’s your favorite model?
Ash: Kate Moss.

RSP: Who are your fashion icons?
Ash: Sienna Miller and Cameron Diaz.

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.
