Who is the R&Em girl?
R&Em stands for Remy and Emmy who are two personalities representing two different sides of the everyday girl. Remy is a world traveler – she is chic with an uptown vibe. Emmy is the all-American girl next door who is laid-back and just loves to have a good time. The line is budget-friendly, so it resonates with people like me who live in the city and have very tight budgets but still like to be chic and keep up with the trends.

How does it feel to be the face of this great new accessories line?
It’s crazy! It is so flattering to be the face of R&Em, but there is a part of me that says ‘It’s weird – I’m not a model, I’m not a celebrity.’ But that’s what this line is about, regular girls who love great style. So that’s what I am, the girl next door from Brooklyn.

I love your outfit, what are you wearing today?
I am wearing a vintage skirt, Jessica Simpson platforms, Hue tights, Postlapsaria lace jacket (Keiko’s own label), Coach leather jacket and an R&Em Woodstock bag, my favorite of the collection.

What makes the Woodstock bag your favorite of the collection?
All of the bags are named after musical influences. This is a classic satchel but with the updated zipper and studs. The colorway is really unexpected, a blush tone with chocolate edges. I love that you can sling it across you body or use the little handles and throw it on your arm. It’s very versatile and definitely my favorite.

Mac and I got our photo taken with the tall and graceful Keiko. Wish we would have worn our big girl shoes!

You can snag one of these fabulous bags at Macy’s ASAP. Also, check out Keiko’s blog if you haven’t already.

If you love House as much as I do, then you know who Olivia Wilde is. If not, then you should Wikipedia her and memorize her name. Recognized for roles in the O.C., Alpha Dog, and The Girl Next Door, this hot actress is here to stay.
