Who is your style icon, Rachel? Think Janis Joplin meets Kate Moss meets Cameron Diaz. Not any one of them alone, but all three of them together.
What clothing items and brands are your staples?
I am the poster child for H&M. Most of my wardrobe honestly comes from there. For some reason, I also have a large collection of Louis Vuitton purses. And vintage jewelry is always a must. Huge, bug-eyed sunglasses are my favorites---I have about 4 or 5 pairs so far, some super cheap and some more expensive. I like to call them my "people blockers" as they cover so much of my face, you can't tell who I am!
What must-have wardrobe items should be in every woman's closet?
The LBD (little black dress), obviously. Actually, a couple of different LBDs – one long sleeve for day, one cocktail, and one sundress that can be a chameleon. I even have one saved from when I was a freshman in high school. (Eeeek!) And perfect black pumps that you may or may not be able to walk in – that, of course, is irrelevant.
Got a favorite handbag? Although I am currently toting a large black Botkier from a couple of years back, I'm lusting after an oversized red quilted Chanel bag with silver chain links.
What's your favorite pair of dressy shoes?
Right now, I'm loving my Steven by Steve Madden black patent leather Mary Janes --- because they look like Manolos!
What do you typically wear:
Relaxing around the house?
Sweats! Or hot pants/boy shorts with a simple tee. I just want to be comfortable, and that's when I really don't need to impress anyone but my TiVo, who loves me no matter what I wear!
To work?
Playful dresses, wide leg pants, skinny jeans with tees, flats or wedges are a must as we are on our feet all day in the fashion department.
Going out to parties/clubs?
THE UNIFORM (as I like to call it
Skinny jeans, black top and a couple of accessories with sky high heels. During the summer, I love to bust out the mini-skirt or mini-dress.
Shopping with friends? T-shirt, jeans and flats. I do not feel the need to impress sales girls – I'm a good dresser and don't need to get dressed up to buy clothes. I like to wear shoes without laces for sure as those are a pain to take on and off in the dressing room. But often you'll find me in sweats and my signature huge sunglasses to avoid contact with people (see above).
Gym/Working-out?
Fancy running shorts with pockets that perfectly hold my iPod Nano and my keys, and a ripped old t-shirt with 2 sports bras. Hey, the girls need as much support as they can get!
