THE ZOE REPORT: Up Close and Proenza
If there is anyone who knows how to shut it down on the runway with a cool factor slant on fashion, it is Lazaro Hernandez and Jack McCollough. The Proenza Schouler twosome win my heart season after season, most recently with their graffiti fun F/W Collection which is full of eye-catching wardrobe prizes, like today’s Graphic Silk Babydoll Dress.
THE ZOE REPORT: Time for Chains
If you didn’t already have enough to look forward to this fall—Chanel’s Paradoxal polish, Marc’s dreamy suede coat—Giuseppe Zanotti is launching his first ever jewelry collection. And let me tell you…it is insanity. Unsurprisingly, the master of footwear is also a brilliant gem designer. Exhibit A: today’s waterfall of chains necklace.
THE ZOE REPORT: Lanvin On A Jet Plane
The vacay season is winding down, but there is still time for at least one more weekend getaway—or at least a well-deserved staycation—before summer’s end. Either relaxing route sounds pretty fab…right? As for me, I am already plotting my fall itinerary—fashion week is right around the corner—along with what to pack. Topping my list? Lanvin’s Silk-satin Travel Set!
THE ZOE REPORT: You. Better. Work.
My lack of cute, workout-friendly clothing options is making it hard for me to stick to my get-fit routine. Any suggestions for some fashionable workout gear?
THE ZOE REPORT: Hair Hero
While I seriously love soaking up the summer sun—pool parties, backyard barbecues and laying out in the ‘Bu—the heat tends to take its toll on my tresses. Luckily, I have found a remedy for this potentially disastrous situation…Kérastase’s groundbreaking Chronologiste!
THE ZOE REPORT: The Coast Is Clear
It’s all in the details—glamour, that is. In terms of interior design, the slightest addition to a room can set the tone, so it is crucial to pay attention to a space like you would an outfit. I recently brightened up my home with Alexandra Von Furstenberg’s shocking neon Acrylic Coasters and they are the life of the party.
THE ZOE REPORT: Ask Rachel – Right Now Nails
With summer still lingering and fall just around the corner, I am in desperate need of some new, of-the-moment nail polish colors for my late summer manicures and pedicures. What are your recent faves? Please help!
THE ZOE REPORT: Birthday Boots
Once upon a time, my daily fashion newsletter—most commonly known as The Zoe Report or TZR—turned one year old. That’s right, today is The Zoe Report’s birthday! And what better way to celebrate than with a phenomenal footwear creation from the same designer I featured on day one (who could forget the Lola)? Fashionistas and gentleman, meet Brian Atwood’s Chain-Back Over-The-Knee Boots!
THE ZOE REPORT: Mad About Marc
As I am sure many of you know, today is a big day for my team and I…the third season of The Rachel Zoe Project begins tonight! While I cannot give away too many details—other than what you see here—I will reveal one insider’s fact: I wear a lot of Marc Jacobs! I mean…obvi. Tune in later to see if you can identify the looks—keep your eyes out for a tweed blazer with colorful lapels and cranberry leather jacket—and in the meantime, spend some time lusting over MJ’s dreamy F/W 2010 Collection. No words.
THE ZOE REPORT: Eye of the Tiger
To kick off the month of August with a fashion bang, I have selected a stylish, statement-making piece from my dear friend (and CFDA-winning jeweler!) Alexis Bittar’s latest collection—a Tigers Eye Quartz Collar. Fitting right in with the rest of his over-the-top fall offerings, this necklace is crazy time!…aka ba-na-nas : )
THE ZOE REPORT: Ball and Kayne
The end of July/beginning of August is always a tricky period to shop for clothes—inventory on summer items is low and fall attire has yet to hit shelves. That being said, now is the perfect time to focus on sprucing up things around your home. I just invested in a few of Jenni Kayne’s L’Artisan Amber Balls…and they are a-mah-zing!
THE ZOE REPORT: Bath Time
Um, a Balenciaga bubble bath? Yes please! And no I do not mean jump in the tub dressed in Balenciaga—or any of your designer clothes (ever) for that matter—but do get down to your birthday suit and de-stress with the French fashion house’s new luxe shower gel.
THE ZOE REPORT: Off The Cuff
With fall collections slowly but surely making their way into boutiques—rejoice!—it is time to begin spotlighting my favorite seasonal picks…starting with excessories (duh). First up is today’s TZR-approved cuff from young jewelry designer, Gaia Repossi, as part of her collection for Alexander Wang’s F/W ’10 Runway. It is everything.
THE ZOE REPORT: Scarf It Up
As the summer season winds down and we shift our gears to fall—I can hardly wait either!—I know many of you will be inclined to store away your colorful accessories and shift toward a darker palette. However, I want everyone to stop and rethink this protocol during the upcoming season…why not view your vibrant add-ons as a year-round regime? Matthew Williamson shows us how it’s done with the multi-hued Circle Lace Strip Scarf from his Autumn Collection.
THE ZOE REPORT: Denim Doctor
Amidst the varying degrees of styles, trends and silhouettes that we as fashion enthusiasts may choose to follow—or not follow—there is one universal truth that connects us all: our jeans. Whether you prefer skinny, wide-leg or cropped, there is no denying that they are the uniform of all uniforms. In fact, I wear my wide-leg denim options so often that they have certainly seen better days…but near-disaster solved! You see, with the magical powers of Denim Therapy, I can bring them back to life.
THE ZOE REPORT: Brit Beauty
Clear out some room in your cosmetic cases girls because Burberry just launched a makeup line and it is as good—make that, flawless—as one would expect. Living up to the British fashion house’s standards, each product in the 96-piece debut collection is luxurious and classic. Take for example—Burberry’s Lip Glow!
THE ZOE REPORT: Falling For Fallon
Not to be confused with Dana Lorenz’s main accessory line, Fenton, today’s featured brand Fallon is a defiant and youthful spin-off with equally-bold jewels at a lower price point. Of course, there is also Fenton/Fallon which is a capsule guest designer collection created by Lorenz for J.Crew… are you taking notes? I hope so, because all three lines are mah-jor and should be incorporated into your jewelry boxes ASAP! If you are unsure of where to start, I recommend a pair of Fallon’s Comet Earrings.
THE ZOE REPORT: A Book Fit For McQueen
Along with the rest of the fashion world, my heart was broken over the loss of our extraordinary Alexander McQueen. As an artist who always pushed the boundaries and drew outside of the lines, his vision was and will continue to be a reminder for us to all think big. This grandiose perspective that won McQueen widespread reverence is captured flawlessly in a tome that is quite exceptional in itself—Visionaire’s 58 Spirit.
THE ZOE REPORT: You Know The ‘Drille
If you are someone who looks forward to the changing of seasons primarily for fashion purposes (like moi), you understand just how important a well-curated summer ensemble truly is. After all, it is not as if we get to break out our jumpsuits, kaftans and sun hats all year-round… but a girl can dream. Taking full advantage of the mah-jor heat wave that is upon us, I say we all give our favorite seasonal pieces—like today’s featured Miu Miu Espadrilles—the attention they deserve!
THE ZOE REPORT: Surf the Chanel
Summer has found me in a blissful paradise at a vacation home in Malibu and I could not be more thankful for the downtime. I am loving every minute that I get to spend quality moments with Rodger, soak up the sun and watch the seasoned surfers hit the tide under a cloudless sky…heaven. In fact, the only thing that could make the whole scenario more picturesque is if all of the surfers were in-hand with a Chanel Surfboard. Talk about dream scenario.
