    This sexy on screen siren is so en fuego, I had to choose two photos of her.  Originally an East Coaster, she has now transplanted herself to the West Coast.

    Wearing:dashiki- Emanuel Ungaro (courtesy of one of her bff’s), wooden bangle- vintage (see, mixing designer with vintage is so chic).

    Name: Krystal Marshall

    Occupation: Actor

    Hometown: Atlanta, Georgia

    If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and your bag was only big enough for 3 items, what would they be:

    1. A machete, which I would use to cut down trees to make a shelter, and then cut apart the bag (that the machete came in) to make a fierce leather swimsuit.
    2. A value size container of Aleve… because cramps will follow you anywhere- even a deserted island.
    3. A Venus razor.  I’d take apart the four razor blades and attach one to the end of a stick so I could spear fish, one to a smaller stick so I could chop fruit, one I’d use for beauty (i.e., shaving my legs/bikini area, arching my brows, and cutting split ends), and the last one is for emergencies. Like, in case I have to kill myself.  

    Favorite beauty product: Origins “Never a Dull Moment” exfoliating scrub, Rembrandt whitening trays

    Style icon: MK Olsen

    This summer, I can’t wait to wear: Rompers, jumpsuits, halters, and linen

    Style tip for all the fashion degenerates: “Less is more.”  Oh, and if you think you look fat in something, chances are you probably do.

    Best splurge (it was worth every penny): Marc Jacobs double breasted military coat

    Trend you’d like to see die: Peep toe booties

    Currently coveting:Erin Wasson’s wardrobe, body, and life.

    Fun Fact:I plan to single handedly bring back full bottom underwear. I’m sick and tired of bikini briefs being shoved to the back of the drawer and only worn you-know-when. Enough!

    Biggest personal fashion flop:At times, my cameltoe can be offensive.

     

    Well, Miss Marshall, with those looks and all that spunk, I get the feeling we will be seeing a lot more of your face.  (And we’re pretty happy about that).

    In my 20-something years of life, I have learned that positive reinforcement is the best way to motivate people.  So, instead of just making fun of the fashion f*ck ups, I’ve decided to praise those of you who are making the world a prettier place… one outfit at a time. 

    We found this blonde bombshell right here in Manhattan.

    natalie

    Name: Natalie Decleve

    Occupation: PR and Events Manager, Kiki De Montparnasse

    Hometown: Palo Alto, CA

    Wearing: dress- 12th Street by Cynthia Vincent, bag- vintage Dior (remember what I told you about vintage bags being cool?), shoes- Michael Kors Collection (sorry, can’t really see them, but they were divine), bangle- Forever 21, necklace- vintage, ring- rando no name designer from a boutique in Hoboken

    If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and your bag was only big enough for 3 items, what would they be: My super soft and slouchy Inhabit cashmere sweater (hey you didn’t say it was a tropical island…), my subscription to Bazaar (can I do that?), a box of French macaroons.

    Favorite beauty product: L’artisan Parfumeur, Poivre Piquant perfume

    Style icon: Kate Moss

    This summer, I can’t wait to wear: my bright turquoise Calypso linen mu-mu and destroyed denim (not together, obvi!)

    Style tip for all the fashion degenerates: If you don’t feel confident wearing it, don’t.

    Best splurge (it was worth every penny): Balenciaga motorcycle bag in grey -  the older it gets, the cooler it looks.

    Trend you’d like to see die: One shouldered anything – why is it still happening?! WHY?! Oh- and Marc Jacobs. Just in general. Like I say after every season’s show: The Emperor’s New Clothes…

    Currently coveting: Miu Miu Nappa bag in nude leather… ahh I’m obsessed!

     

    And we are obsessed with you, Ms. Decleve.  Well done.

    xx,
