Rachel Zoe - pre-fall 2012

I am a big fan of Rachel Zoe. She's a good business woman and a stylist. Her reality TV show The Rachel Zoe Project gives you a good insight into the world of fashion. I was really interested to see how she'd do as a designer. She's just shown her fourth collection, her best one yet. She's usually all about the 70s, which isn't  my style so much so I was happy to see that this time Rachel got her isnpiration in the 60s. Outerwear is becoming her thing and you can expect some well cut peacoats and blazers. Faux fur is of course also present, as are jewel tones alongside black and white. It's definitely thumbs up. What do you think?
Have a stylish day.

Jewelled Wednesday - Rachel Zoe for QVC

It's no secret I'm a big fan of Rachel Zoe. I was excited when she came up with a collection of jewellery for QVC. She's got such a great style, it was guaranteed to be a hit. And the pieces are great. Plus for AW 11 she is coming up with her own brand line of clothing as well, which will be available in selected stores. How exciting. Today I'm bringing you my top pick of her rings, necklaces and earrings, but do check QVC.com for more as there is loads and it's all looking great (you wouldn't expect anything less from Rachel) and when you're there have a look at the handbags too. I promise you'll love it all.
Have a stylish day.

Nicole Richie - from geek to chic

Nicole Richie has come a long way. She covers February issue of Lucky magazine, looking better than ever. When the daughter of Lionel Richie appeared on TV starring alongside Paris Hilton in The Simple Life, she was quite fat (I feel bad for saying this), had a horrible taste in clothes and with all the hair extensions and too much fake tan, she couldn't been exactly described as a style icon. But that was all to change. She famously hooked up with stylist to the stars Rachel Zoe, who transformed her into a beautiful swan. Richie lost weight and even became too skinny at one point, but these days she just looks healthy, happy and glowing. Her style changed rapidly and she is famous for her boho look which suits her so much. Often seen in flowing dresses, loose tunics and pair of jeans, big hats and sunglasses, the improvement couldn't been more obvious. She turned her new found love for clothes into design and has two succesful labels Winter Kate - contemporary womenswear and House of Harlow 1960 - ethnic inspired jewellery. Both collections are easy to wear and affordable. Good business move!
Over the years she experimented with hair colour and few hair styles but now it seems she found herself and looks better than ever. Nicole recently got married and looked absolutely stunning in her Marchesa wedding dress. She has definitely become a style inspiration and I look forward to seeing her new collections, styles and what she gets up to. Good luck to her.
Have a stylish day.

Men's style by Brad Goreski

I realized I am overlooking men and their fashion and am ashamed. As a woman I am obviously more interested in women's fashion and it will always be the major subject of my blog, but I will try to write a bit more about men's style as well. And what a better time than my month of style icons. I picked a man whos style is great and could be a role model for many men. It is noone less than ex-assistant of Rachel Zoe Mr. Brad Goreski. He won million of fans for himself during his time on The Rachel Zoe Project and his personality and style are admirable. Brad finished his work for Rachel earlier this year, but I am sure he will continue doing well for himself. He is a big fan of well cut blazers, worn either in suits or with jeans, likes bow ties, isn't afraid of colour and push boundaries. His signature are geeky glasses that suit him so well. Brad Goreski is a handsome man and dresses really well and can get away with a lot. I love his passion for great shoes and bags as well. I picked few of his cool outfits. Let me know how you like his style.
Have a stylish day.

Rachel Zoe - stylist to the stars

Another day of December, another day for my pick of style icons. Today I decided to write about American one and not just any. Probably the biggest. I looooove Rachel Zoe. Her job is my dream job and I admire her passion for everything she does. Not only she is the sought after stylist to the biggest stars, she wrote a book Style A to Zoe, designed a series of very covetable collections for QVC, where she appears regularly, showing the items and how to style them and her TV show The Rachel Zoe project is watched all over the world.
Her style is very bohemian, all loose dresses, flared trousers and tons of jewellery. It suits her so well and I just love it all. I've picked few of her great outfits plus you can see more on my facebook page. She famously transformed Nicole Richie from geek to chic, and even more famously they fell out. Her clients include Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Garner, Demi Moore, Eva Mendes to name just a few. She has a great eye for detail and gets everyone on best dressed lists.
Last month Rachel announced that she is expecting her first child and I am sure, she will be the most stylish mum to be. And of course her baby will be well dressed too. I wish them both health and happiness.
Have a stylish day.

Stylists become celebrities..

When you look back into the old days of Hollywood glamour and the fabulous actresses, with great style and grace, you may remember the beautiful clothes they wore and who they were designed by, but that's where it ends. Not that it's not enough, but that definitely changed. Since the beginning of the 21st century, people behind the scenes, especially stylists, have become more and more important and celebrities in their own right. There have been massive growth in programs about style and makeovers, and fashion gurus are making their own headlines.
Look at Rachel Zoe for example. For those who don't know her(shame one you!) she is very popular LA based stylist, working with celebrities on any occasions from photoshoots to Oscars. She has her own TV show The Rachel Zoe project and has been accused for having bad influence on her clients to become really skinny. I'm sure you all remember the big Size zero debate... But she's famous for her work and showing the importance of a stylist.
And who could forget Patricia Field. Ever since working wonders on the wardrobe of The Sex and The City girls, she became famous and got well deserved respect. She is a master of mixing vintage, designer and high street and is inspring to all of us. There has been so many great outfits in the series, then when The Sex and The City - The Movie was about to come out in 2008, it caused a fashion frenzy. Everyone wanted to know what clothes would the characters wear and you could expect some new trends emerging straight after. I really admire Patricia's work and included some pictures. There are so many though, it was very hard to pick just few.. Have a stylish day.
