Modern Style Icon: Rachel Zoe

I have been a fan of Rachel Zoe’s since the first season of her show. Her over the top personality is infectious while her drive and determination as a businesswoman are inspiring. I always enjoyed seeing the fun she had with Rodger, her staff, and then with her sweet baby, Skyler—all of which typically resulted in an assortment of “Zoeisms” such as “bananas”, “shut it down”, “I die”, “Major”, “Maje”, “I meeaann…”, various things being “everything” and so on. Through all of the entertaining moments, Rachel continued to solidify her reputation as a stylist and fashion designer, expanding her roster of celebrity clients which includes Kate Hudson, Anne Hathaway, Jennifer Garner, and Cameron Diaz to name a few, launching her own label, showing at New York Fashion Week, and partnering with various fashion brands for endorsement deals. While Rachel’s style has evolved since we first got to know her on season one of The Rachel Zoe Project, she has always maintained a cool, bohemian aesthetic with a major dose of glamour. I love that Rachel is surrounded by fashion on a daily basis, but she remains true to who she is and what she loves when it comes to her style. She doesn’t dress for comfort or practicality, but rather, dresses to suit her moods and how she wants to feel. After all, her motto is “be glamorous everyday”!

{I love this maxi dress paired with a leather blazer. So chic!}

{Rachel loves her sky-high platform heels! I’ve read that she is 5’8”, which is the same height as me, but I always get the feeling that she is petite on television. At 5’8” with tall heels, she would be towering over everyone. Have any of you ever seen her in person?}
