Welcome to day 1 of The Zoe Effect. I’ll be posting a pic a day everyday this week (including Sat and Sun) of yours truly modeling (yikes) my favorite Zoe Reports – the “glamour for your inbox” daily newsletter from Rachel Zoe. This first post is a double-dose – I combine my two favorite Zoe Reports! Read on for the breakdown…
The Zoe Report
Rip Her To Shreds – Striped Shredded Tee
Rock Like An Egyptian – Pyramid Studded Bracelets
Rachel’s Styling Tips
Rip Her To Shreds: “Wear the distressed top as an alternative to a basic tee by pairing it with liquid leggings, a denim or leather jacket, and some studded biker boots to achieve a fashion-forward look this fall.”
Rock Like An Egyptian: “I love to mix and match the wristlets with a few softer pieces, or an oversized watch, but they’re strong enough to stand alone too.”
About My Look
In “Rip Her To Shreds”, Rachel discusses her obsession with Raquel Allegra’s shredded tees that retail for $295. For every high-end item in The Zoe Report, Rachel offers an affordable alternative in her “Parallel Universe”. The less expensive Raw 7 shredded inset tee is so kick ass; however, it is solid black and I really liked the stripes of the high-end item. Additionally, at $150, I thought I could do a bit better on the price. I picked up a striped tee at Charlotte Russe for only $12, found a shredded tee diy video on youtube.com, and made this myself! I hope to add more panels when I have the time.
In Rachel’s “Rock Like An Egyptian” post, she introduces us to Anita Ko’s pyramid studded bracelets priced at $3600. The Parallel Universe is a beautiful and affordable pyramid studded ring, but I really wanted a match for the high-end bracelet. I found these AMAZING pyramid bangles at Forever 21 for only $7.80! I rock them in a couple of other looks too, so you’ll have to check back later this week.
I am so in love with this entire outfit and it is nothing I would have ever attempted without tips from “the” pro! I am especially in love with all things black and gold right now and the faux leather moto jacket is so smokin hot! I found it for under $50. The boots are IMHO OOC amazing. I wanted something with a rugged finish to contrast against the shiny liquid leggings and love the mixed metallic studs.

I love this SO much! Brilliant concept. (I hope RZ sees this! I love that woman.) Can’t wait to see the rest of your looks :)
So I am a little late on this as it is now Friday but I had to say that I like how, in true RZ style, you were not afraid to mix gold & silver in your accessories with the gold bangles and the silver studs on the boots. I know Rachel heavily encourages this and I have yet to overcome my fear and try it, so props to you for a job well done!!
