After walking the runways for everyone from Alexander Wang to Chloé, it’s obvious we’re not the only ones with a major crush on Kate King.

Needless to say, we were stoked to have her back in the studio this week to chat between hair and makeup about fashion, modeling, and backstage snacks. Can you imagine what it’s like to be the first to wear next season’s Chanel? Totally jealous!

Anytime. Anywhere. Any outfit.

The Doc is in.

New year. Even newer arrivals!

Jenny of Neon Blush is pretty in pleats in the Ivy League Skirt, paired with a chiffon blouse and Jemma Platform Boots!

(minus the nip, of course)

If still have no idea what you’ll be wearing when the ball drops, just ask yourself, “What would Debbie do?”.

Happy New Year!

After spending an awesome day frolicking around the streets of LA with our latest vintage muse, Madison, we just had to know what inspires the girl that inspires us:

What’s your sign?
Virgo

Where do you find style inspiration?
I love Alexa Chung as a modern day style influence and the way she pieces her looks together, mixing designer with a vintage edge which is something I like to do. Another huge influence in my own personal style lately has been menswear! I love a simple and tailored look from time to time, but made a bit more feminine and edgy.

What’s your first fashion memory?
For as long as I can remember, no matter where I went or what I did, I refused to wear anything but sparkly and totally extravagant dresses. I always managed to track down this one pair of my mom’s Prada heels and practice walking in them down our long hallway. Even though I could barely walk in them, I always pretended I was getting ready to go out on the town in them and played dress up for hours with all my crazy little gowns.

Where do you like to shop for vintage?
Since I just moved part time to San Francisco for fashion school, you can guess where I’ve been…Haight-Ashbury! It’s endless over there. I also found a couple of places in LA recently that I can’t even remember the name of, but somehow stumbled into them and left the store broke!

What’s your best vintage find?
I was actually just lucky enough to get my grandma’s amazing gold Rolex from the ’40s or ’50s. I wear it almost every day. I also recently got the hottest ’20s fur cardigan for quite a steal!

One thing in your closet you can’t live without…
I just got the tortoise shell Tom Ford Nikita sunglasses, and I really don’t know what I could have done without them before! I think they have single-handedly pulled together almost every outfit I’ve worn since.

What’s playing on your iPod these days?
I always love to listen to Radiohead, considering they’re one of my favorites…enough so that I got some of their lyrics tattooed on my back! But lately I’ve been listening to a lot of Bob Dylan again, and a lot of newer folky rock bands. But it really doesn’t stop there, I can go on forever. I love music of every genre and decade!

Favorite blogs?
Tumblr is awesome for me because I’m following over a thousand fashion blogs. I recently got introduced to Street Peeper, which is amazing! And Nasty Gal’s blog of course! :)

If you could steal one thing from today’s photo shoot, what would it be?
Ahh, definitely the red skinny jeans! It’s kind of a hard question if it’s really only one thing, because I think the whole outfit with the vintage tee, denim jacket and combat boots was what made them as awesome as they were. So, I think I may have to steal more than just one thing :)

What makes you a Nasty Gal?
Simply put, a good girl with just a little bit of edge and that rock ‘n’ roll vibe. Oh, and an undying love of style…both high fashion and vintage!

What are you most looking forward to in 2012?
I’m really excited to start my second year as a fashion merchandising student back in SF and do more modeling. I’m also super excited to do some more personal styling jobs here and there. I think 2012 is going to be the best year yet!

Where do you see yourself in ten years?
Working in the fashion business, either being a stylist, creative director for editorial work, fashion journalist or anything that can allow me to be surrounded by fashion 24/7. It’s what I can’t live without!

The perfect way to look like you don’t give a damn when you really, really do.

The latest and greatest…

Olivia of Lust For Life looks beyond amazing in the For Love & Lemons Roosevelt Dress.

Hope you got everything you wished for! Thanks for being the raddest gals on the planet!
