When I found out that I was attending the grand opening of Rachel Zoe’s pop up store in LA, the first thoughts running through my head were the following: “I DIE”, “IT’S BA-NA-NAS”, and “OMG, THIS IS SO MAJ”.
 
 If you know anything about this fashion icon, then you know those are her famous phrases, and all three of them were pretty much running through my mind as I headed to her store. Over the past few months, I’ve had some pretty incredible opportunities, thanks to this little blogging world (meeting DVF was my total fashion highlight of last year!). But this was THE Rachel Zoe. The woman who’s career I have followed for the past 15 years, and who is single handily the reason behind every boho look that I have created in my head and then have worn in real life.
 
And I was about to meet her.
 
The store itself was absolutely gorgeous, and absolutely so Zoe. Lots of open space and natural light, with whites and ivories to make for a relaxed environment. She spent her time styling and chatting amongst the guests. I had my total fan girl moment when I was speaking to her and on a whim decided to show her my blog. OMG! Of course I showed her this post and gushed over how she had been my inspiration not only for a series of posts, but for how I dress in my everyday life as well. She was very gracious and thanked me, and it was at that moment I was hoping we were going to become BFF’s and head out for some margaritas together. But alas – that did not happen, and I headed back home without my new best friend.
 
Needless to say, it was a total bucket list moment for me, and truly a day that I will never forget (I may or may not have already developed the picture of us, bought a frame for it and hung it in my walk in closet – not sorry!).
 
Thank you so much for reading! Wishing you all a wonderful & fashionable week ahead~
