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

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)

Black Draped Coin Dress from her 2010 Fall/Winter Collection (Available at local stores)

Painted Top from her Fall/Winter 2010 collection (Available at local stores)
Due to Copyright Issues I am just going to post links to some of my favorite pieces from her most recent collection

Statement Necklaces!

Statement Necklaces have been my biggest obsession lately! They're the only accessory that really come to my mind when I shop right now. I think the reason why they're so important is because you can wear it casual and you can wear it with a dress and it will make the outfit. Any fashionista should pick one up there are plenty of boutiques, department stores and retail stores that carry them. Express had a good promotion going on and I got 4 necklaces for less than $100! It was a steal. Personally I love their jewelry they're good quality for a good price.

Here's a few I picked up from express on a recent trip!

Nested Beaded Wire Bib Necklace $39.99

Long Layered Flower Chain Necklace $69.50

Wow I Can't Find The Other Ones on the Site! That's Sad! But I Have Few That I Would Recommend.

LUX CRYSTAL AND RHINESTONE FRINGE NECKLACE $148.00

This is a little pricey for my range but this would be one of those pieces that are splurgeworthy!

For a more affordable version I would recommend...

Layered Fringe Necklace $44.90

WARNING TO BUSTY WOMEN! DO NOT! wear statement necklaces if you do not want your decolletage emphasized! Sometimes it's not always good to emphasize parts that already get enough attention as is. I recommend women with big busts to wear shorter minimal necklaces and if you're going to wear statement necklaces make sure it's with a t-shirt or a dress not revealing cleavage.

Everything here is from Express.com and is on the site as of today so shop your heart out! Also remember to take advantage of their Buy one, get one 50% off deal!
