Let’s just say…AH-MAZING!!!! 

It was an honor to be invited by EXPRESS and be flown to LA LA Land with the opportunity to meet Fashion Authority and Style Icon, Rachel Zoe.  I’m having a hard time finding words to describe how inspirational and amazing it was.  All the EXPRESS team members, Style Editors and Rachel’s team were so wonderful and great to get to know and hear their stories. 

It was a 48 hour whirlwind of chic LA style- amazing food, drinks, laughs, A-list locations, destinations and just beyond awe-inspiring. There were nine of us out of hundreds that were invited to this incentive back in December. Eight Style Editors from all across the country ages 21-45 were invited to meet Rachel Zoe and get a sneak peek at her exclusive May Collection. Designed and created by her. It launched yesterday and I can’t wait to show you them all later this week. They are even MORE beautiful in person and feel amazing on. Great quality fabric, chic, timeless design that will have you feeling gorgeous from the inside out. 🙌🏼

On the second night we got all dressed up and attended an intimate cocktail setting at the Four Seasons Beverly Hills with 35 people (mostly EXPRESS Regional District Managers and Style Editors.) Rachel was approachable, friendly, funny and shared some really good and funny A-list celebrity styling experiences and told us all about how she started from nothing and built her empire from her garage at the age of 19. She made us laugh and had us all thinking deeply about our careers, our own personal style and what an incredible partnership with EXPRESS can do for your styling career. She was perfect. Now I have been a Rachel Zoe fan since my early 20’s and days at GLAMOUR magazine. I mean she is THE A-list celebrity stylist. It’s a dream to meet her let alone take a picture with her and rub elbows.

To answer some of your burning questions…

Yes she is that skinny 😳 

Her celebrity crush is Robert Pattinson  ❤️ (I mean who’s isn’t…every woman secretly wants to be Bella)

Her favorite show she’s currently obsessing is Bridgerton

Her husband and business partner Roger is super nice and funny. He too wears EXPRESS and loves her new collection. They have been together since I believe she was 18….

Thank you for all your love and support with this amazing experience. I am so grateful for this community of amazing women.
