"facebook dialogPinterest\n\nEveryone who knows me understands that I have more than a minor obsession with the SoCal indie surf/skate label RVCA. So much so, that, not only can I be caught clad in at least one piece of RVCA at any given moment, (who says you can't pair surf wear with Paul Smith?), but, over the past year I've integrated myself fully into the company itself---making the label's design director, Kristin Reiter my personal style guru and West coast partner-in crime. I have been enamored with Miss Kristin's effortless grounding-breaking fashion sense and crafty ways (she was tie-dying long before Balmain and doing the biker chic thing steps ahead of Mr. Wang) from the get-go. Which is why it makes sense that Kristin, along with pal Valerie Killen (senior apparel designer for Element), recently created the instantly prolific and relevant fashion blog bleachblack.com. Making fashion fun again, the blog is divided into two columns where Kristin and Valerie each express what aspirational attire and bargain basement finds make them tick, along with unique DIYs and music video throwbacks.\n\nToday, I caught up with my pal Kristin during my lunch break for a little game of online catch up.\n\nSB: Hi Kristin. First off let's cut to the chase, how much do you miss me?\n\nKR: Words cannot explain! I'm dying in pain over here.\n\nSB: Believe me, the feeling is mutual. So I have to ask: how would you describe your style?\n\nKR: Not fussy---I Love me some tee's and jeans.\n\nSB: You are constantly inspiring yours truly as well as your new-found following, but what inspires you fashion wise?\n\nKR: I would have to say our lovely mutual friend Erin Wasson of course, and traveling, art, and friends."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
