RGRS Takes New York Fashion Week
21 FebWhat the RGRS girl wants to wear this fall:
Alice + Olivia: "Any gold metallic coat that can even dress up a pair of jeans is a gem to me. And the sunglasses are perfect for my ever-expanding collection."
Erin Fetherston: "Perfect for a ball or a magical evening under the stars."
Farah Angsana: "If only Studio 54 was still around. Maybe to Dream?"
Jenni Kayne: "Showing off cutesy bloomers is my new thing. A black sheer skirt is a safe bet."
The Row: "A clean sleeveless knit and a schoolgirl satchel is high school nostalgia; in a good way."
XOXO! Off to London!

If Only It Weren’t 20 Degrees Outside….
10 Jan
This dress is so versatile. I can really see it with tights and motorcycle boots or on vacation with K. Jacques sandals and a tan. Stella McCartney
I love the Grace Kelly in Monaco reference but the beauty is in the dress; which plays with sexy and femme with the sheer fabric and one-shoulder. Alice + Olivia
It doesn't matter what anyone says...nude is always chic in the summer. Plus, it makes your tan look so much hotter. Chloe
Jenni Kayne makes great clothes that every California girl wants to wear. This pant is colorful without looking clownish. Jenni Kayne
Lingerie touches seem to be always in but they are especially "it" for this summer. Go to vintage stores and peep in the lingerie department for camis you can wear under blazers. Rachel Zoe

Happy New Year: Fun Things to look Forward to in 2012.
4 Jan
1) Don’t Trust the B in Apartment 23
This much anticipated sitcom is about the ultimate roommate from hell. Things get even better considering that her best friend is James Van Der Beek who plays James Van Der Beek. Airs January on ABC.
2) Pastels Mixed with the Kitchen Sink
Make pastels look less typical by mixing them with anything from red to quirky prints to Baroque shades ala Prada.
3)Nicki Minaj: Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded
Nicki Minaj’s 2nd studio album is scheduled to be released this Valentine’s Day. Get ready for even more dramatic and unexpected lyrics.
4) American Reunion
The 4th installation of the American Pie series saves “the best piece for last” when the cast is supposedly more grown up. Can’t wait for Stifler’s one-liners. In theaters April 6th.
The 2011 RGRS Gift Guide: Part 2
10 Dec
Last week we put the spotlight on The Label Whore. This week it’s all about The Colorful Chameleon. This person is far from glum and wears color like nobody else (electric blue with pastel pink? Why not!) This individual is also a fan of the arts and perhaps is an artist themselves. If they wear black, it must be paired with a colored jean or a bright accessory. They are a kid at heart and their energy is off the wall!

The 2011 RGRS Gift Guide: Part 1
3 Dec
It’s that time of the year again and what better way to kick off the season than to have an easy gift guide that will have everyone saying, “Wow, she/he really surprised me with that (fill in fun gift here)?!
This is not just any old guide though. I’ve actually been told that I give the best gifts. I think part of it has to do with that fact that I love shopping vicariously through other people but may I add that being a great listener as well as knowing where to source gifts that have a touch of personality really helps too!
These guides are not by “Brother”, “Girlfriend”, “Mom”, etc. I did do them by personality but not just any run-of-the-mill type. Chances are if you read this site often, you actually know at least one of these types very well. Tonight features our first personality type, “The Label Whore.”
Yup, no explanation necessary, although I will proceed. She/he only wears the latest and greatest. Yes, even the nail polish is Chanel. Despite what people may think, this is actually a tough type to buy for. Just when you think you have them down, they are all sick of Balenciaga and onto Proenza……
