Rachel Zoe’s Home

October 10th, 2008 · 31 Comments

After a late night of work, I packed away my laptop and flicked on the “I die” show that my friends have been talking about. I think I’m hooked already!

Project Runway: Wedding and bridesmaid dresses

October 9th, 2008 · 16 Comments

Project Runway: Nature evening dresses

October 2nd, 2008 · 11 Comments

I’m glad to be back to talk about Project Runway with you. I certainly missed some good episodes while I was in Australia but last night’s runway show was just so-so. The challenge was to create an evening gown inspired by nature — specifically, the plants found at the New York Botanical Garden. And this [...]
