Label Whore: Rachel by Rachel Roy

One of my favorite labels right now that I absolutely adore is Rachel by Rachel Roy. Rachel by Rachel Roy is available at Macy's everywhere. The reason why I love the line is because her styles vary and can be versatile when it comes down to it. From season to season ever since her label has been out I've checked out her pieces. Most of her pieces are extremely colorful and full of life. She works very well with patterns and prints and incorporates one type of fabric into many different types of designs and styles. Another plus about this line is that the sizes range from XXS to XL and dress sizes 0-14 which makes it more marketable towards average sized women and possibly plus size friendly


SPRING/SUMMER 2010 RUNWAY


FALL/WINTER 2010 RUNWAY

The ultimate goal that I think Rachel Roy wants to achieve in her designs is that she wants to allow a woman to be sexy but also embody a powerful state of mind while wearing her pieces. She allows women to play with pieces from her line and give them personality. It takes a lot of confidence to pull of her pieces because they can be very ornate or very dramatic pieces. 

She doesn't only just design clothes for Macy's but also jewelry, handbags, and shoes. Personally I am a huge fan of all of them. The quality is great for the price you're paying for. The price range for most of her designs are from $30.00 to about $200.00 depending on the pieces. I own a few of her pieces and am in love with them. In a way I feel like they give my closet some kind of life and color.

You can get a good idea of what type of designer she is from just looking at these few pieces. You can tell the difference between her actual runway line and her mainstream line. But either way they clothes are beautifully made and fun to wear!


Here's a few pieces that I personally own 

Graffiti Print from her Fall/Winter Debut Collection (NO LONGER AVAILABLE)

Black Dress with knot from her 2010 Spring/Summer collection (NO LONGER AVAILABLE)

Mandy Moore at the AMA's

Everyone knows I love me some Mandy Moore! :)
She has definitely been MIA from the fashion scene/red carpet for a long while.
But recently she stepped out looking quite amazing at the AMA's (American Music Awards)
From the color of her hair down to her Jimmy Choo nude heels she looked great and healthier than ever.
Mandy wore this nice Matthew Williamson Dress from his Spring/Summer 2011 collection.


I love the fact that her look is pretty effortless doesn't seem like she had to think about too much just put on some nude heels with a printed metallic dress and some minimalist jewelry she was pretty much set.

Her hair and makeup I love as well very matte and suttle

Her makeup artist, Rachel Goodwin, stated that her makeup was all from the Nars collection
(which is available at Sephora Stores)
