RZ Obsession

I have a wee confession.  I'm kind of obsessed with Rachel Zoe.  Here's another thing I love: fashion illustrations.  Put the two together?  BAM!  Cosmic collision of fashion inspiration!  I don't know what it is, but when I watch Rachel's show, I can't help but feel that she is seriously and lovingly devoted to fashion, and all the passion and inspiration that comes with it.  I feel like she and I connect on the baseline, human emotion of love for fashion.  She. Understands. Me.

So, I saw this on Pinterest today and about died:

 

I love how it shows both sides of Rachel, the mother and the fashionista.  Yes, you CAN be both!  Also, I totally respect her for rocking flares no matter how many celebs are sporting skinnies.  That's what fashion is all about!  She finds pieces that truly speak to her and make her feel "Rachel" and proudly (and ridiculously chic-ly) owns the look.

Hope you enjoy this little pic as much as I do!  :) I may just have to get a pair of flares I've had my eye on for over a week now...

Rachel Zoe's Gold Necklace (And General Awesomeness)

Rachel Zoe is a huge inspiration of mine.  So naturally, when I stumbled across this video, I watched it!!!

I really enjoy that she is comfortable with a uniform of sorts... her black.  I think it can be a healthy choice to have a go-to.  If it works, work it!  What is not okay, though, is to be super boring about it.  Her necklace in this video did all the talking for me.... isn't it amazing?

Wearing all black when you have a crazy statement piece like that on your side? Totally ok!

As I've said a million times before, accessories are really the way to explore trends in fashion.  Since gold is having a major moment right now, I suggest you hit the ground shopping and see what kind of gold treasure you can find!  Pair it with your trusty black and you're good to go.
