Recognize that face? If you do it's probably because you watched MTV's short-lived reality series "I'm From 'Rolling Stone.'" Blogger Krystal Simpson was one of six fresh-faced interns chosen to compete for a coveted job at the music mag. When she didn't end up with the gig, Simpson decided to start What Is Reality Anyway?, which she refers to as her "pop culture look book."

This bi-coastal beauty splits her time between L.A. and New York, and can also be found rocking out with her blues folk band Little Feather and working on new poetry projects.

Simpson has a few regrets (more on that later), but she's learned from them. She says the best style advice is: "Don't buy it if it's super-trendy, it always manages to haunt you."
