Closets from the Celebrity Diaries!

I D.I. E. Literally.
Celebrity closets are a weakness of ours that we never seem to get enough of. While these pictures are nothing new, we went back into the Celebrity Diaries and found some killer osets, as we like to call them. They are filled with body candy that will make any fashion lover go bananas. 


Sorry, enough of the Rachel Zoe quotes. I leave the rest for you to oogle over and admire. Nothing speaks to me like a room filled with Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Hermes, Fendi, Chloe, Balenciaga, Christian Dior and so many others. Take a moment to worship the star closets!

Taylor Jacobson An Ex Associate not Scorned!

We've often wondered what really went down between Tay Tay and Rachel. Some of us sheepishly admit that we do in fact miss Taylor Jacobson. The moody, downright snarly, bossy, yet addicting Jacoboson has been off the show and doing her own thing. She doesn't look back nor miss the drama. Rachel Zoe mentions in her 3rd season that "The last thing I want to hear is something good about Taylor". Well, Taylor has been keeping quite busy these days and has set up her own business and doing quite well at it. Below is New York Fashion's interview with the ex associate!

You left Rachel Zoe Inc. almost a year ago. What are you up to these days?
I’m styling, I’m building my roster of clients — you know, editorials, campaigns, personal shopping for private clients I have. I’m pretty much doing the same thing, just on my own. Also, I’m consulting with my denim company, Kasil, and we’re introducing denim pieces and separates — you know, everyday casual chic pants, blazers, vests. I'm really excited about that because I’ve never done that before. I have a blog.

Who are you styling?
Obviously it was all over — the news about Kate [Beckinsale]. I have a celebrity clientele, but I don't want to say who else.

Have you been offered a spinoff?
Yes. I don’t know if I’m really cut out to do reality TV. It’s just not the direction I want — I’m so awkward. There’s things on the table, but it’s not my priority.

What was the transition to self-employment like?
It’s scary when you’re on your own, you know? It’s you — everything rests on your shoulders. There’s definitely been some bumps in the road and there’s definitely been some bad rumors out there. It’s scary, but I’m doing my best.

How does it feel to be working on your own now?
I was ready. To, like, go off on your own, do it for yourself, have your own clients, have your own ventures. In the terms of, like, getting your world, your accounts set up — like your FedExes — it’s been a lot of work. But I’ve never been happier. I assisted for a long time — serious stylists, actually — and I just felt like it’s time.

Do you have an assistant?
I have an assistant — she’s great, a real trooper. We were stuck in Big Sur on a location shoot with no Internet, no phone, no TV, no pay phone, in the middle of nowhere with 50 racks of clothes, poison ivy. It was horrible, like horrible-kill-yourself stuff, but she really came through. She’s been working for me seven, eight months.

Do you have interns?
I have interns. I like to roll deep — with lots of clothes, too.

Are you going to Fashion Week?
I think so, actually. But you never know.

How would you describe your personal style?
Eclectic. I like to mix, like, leather jackets and baby-doll dresses. Combat boots with chiffon. I like to mix feminine and masculine.

What was the first designer item you bought?
Remember when like Prada came out with those like nylon messenger bags back in like eighth grade? Ninth grade? I like saved up and I bought it. It was, like, my babysitting money. That sounds so lame (the babysitting), but that is the truth.

You babysat?
I hate kids — I have no idea why people would let me watch their children. I only did it a few times.

What trends do you like right now?
I love the clogs, I’m not going to lie. I love the ones by Chanel and everyone’s knocking them off. I like those twill, kind of boyfriend baggy trousers because you could wear them at the office, you can wear them at night — they look cute with ankle boots, they look cute with wedges, they look cute with gladiators.

What trends do you wish would go away?
The word fashionista. I hate that word.

What advice do you have for aspiring stylists?
First of all, it’s not glamorous. I feel like people don’t realize that it’s a lot of manual labor — you’re schlepping garment bags, you’re not in the most glamorous locations. But never give up. If that’s your dream, start interning at a PR company. Even try to get something, if you are from a small town — every town has a playhouse. Try to intern in their costume department. Intern at magazines — just intern and start. The minute you have that idea. just start, because it takes time.

Rachel Zoe and Assistant call it QUITS!

Shocking news as we've 

recently

 learned that Stylist to the 

Stars, Rachel Zoe and her assistant

Brad have called it 

QUITS!

We call it bananas! 

 Brad states that he adores Rachel and

 credits her for

everything he knows. He goes on to say that 

now is the time 

to spread his wings and leave the nest. This is

 apparent in a few episodes of The Rachel

Zoe Project.

Brad has talked in the past about how he 

 would love to venture out on his own. How 

could you not miss Brad?!

We wish him the best and sad to seem him 

depart!

The Rachel Zoe Project

To be or not to be:


A Mama?!

We found a new addiction. It's the Rachel Zoe Project. The show is focused around Rachel's obsession and business, FASHION. She speaks about clothes, shoes and handbags as though they could be her child.
Clearly she is in love and everything that Rachel has a soft spot for, seems to be referenced as bananas.
She could DIE when she sees something that strikes her fancy. It's hard to not watch this addicting show. We fall head over bananas for Rachel, her love of fashion and choice of words.


We also wait with anxiousness to see if a baby is on the way!


Will we continue to tune in?
You bet, and we'll keep posting about our new found love!
