The time has finally arrived to unveil my big surprise!! As most of you know, I am a huge fan of Rachel Zoe and I, your average, everyday girl have had the amazing fortune of being styled by “the” stylist to the stars, Rachel Zoe – allow me to explain… Us non-celebs are so lucky to get style tips from Rachel Zoe delivered to our inbox everyday in the form of “The Zoe Report” newsletter. In Rachel’s daily glamour for your inbox, she endorses her latest obsessions, ranging from hair spray to shredded tees. What I love best about these reports is that, for every high-end item, she also offers a “Parallel Universe” – a comparable option at an affordable price. This screams Celebrity Looks for Less. And it doesn’t stop there… Rachel also offers styling advice on how to wear these fabulous fashions, so I decided it was time to take advantage! Everyday next week starting Monday, I am going to be in head-to-toe Rachel Zoe Report styling and posting a pic to this very blog.

Rachel’s mission is for us to, “Learn it, live it, love it”, and this week, I have accomplished all of the above. I thought that attempting trends that are so different from anything in my closet would be a bit of a painful process, yet I was surprisingly comfortable in every single piece. That realization was my “wow moment”! It just goes to show that you should definitely think outside the box and try new things. How will you ever know if you don’t go for it?

I hope you’ll check back every day next week, as I’ll be making my modeling debut on Celebrity Looks for Less, yikes! I’m going to select my top 7 fav Zoe Reports, dress head-to-toe according to Rachel’s how-to guidance, and post a pic a day in a series I’ve appropriately labeled “The Rachel Zoe Effect”. I’m so nervous, but very excited!!!
