Snow Ready

Outfits

We had our first snow storm this past weekend in Minneapolis and I couldn’t have been more excited to pull out all of my hats! I found this little bow-detailed hat in Paris at a boutique near our hotel last summer.  I was secretly SUPER excited for colder weather this year just so I could wear this hat. It was actually quite a funny story when I was picking out and buying this hat.  The guys working at the boutique were being pretty flirty with my mother, calling her princess and catering to all of her needs. My little...

Graduation Investments: Shopping 101

Career•Shopping

Since my older sister just graduated with her masters and some of my friends just graduated college, I decided it would be the perfect time to talk about some investment pieces straight out of college (or grad school). I was lost at first when I graduated because although I had a suit and collared shirts for interviewing, a lot of my wardrobe was still extremely casual. I have learned to incorporate a lot of those pieces into a more professional wardrobe, but there were still some pieces I needed to add to ensure that I was looking professional everyday....

Tie Tuesday

Outfits

I have always wanted to be able to tag along with the boys and I’m guessing I get that from my mother who grew up with six brothers.  With that said, when my boss told me that one of the guys at work is trying to bring back “Tie Tuesday” I decided I wanted join! I have always been drawn to menswear looks, but recently Alicia’s post from Fashion by Alicia on Evan Rachel Wood and Carry On Couture’s menswear inspired look have really inspired me.  My result: My boyfriend’s tie with cropped black pants, a vest, blazer and a ruffle fuchsia blouse (because I...

Fashion Dilemma

Career•Outfits

When it comes to work wear during the transition from winter to spring, I seem to have my own fashion transition with a shift from skirts to pants.  This usually happens because I get sick and tired of wearing tights. And I know a lot of fashionistas hate wearing tights, but I really do love wearing tights… so when I get to this point I am so ready for bare legs.  Although the weather has been significantly warmer lately, I’m still not sure that it is “bare legs season” yet in Minneapolis.

Snakeskin Week

Fashion

It is officially Snakeskin Week here at Rachel’s Lookbook! With snakeskin being a big trend right now and since snakeskin is my all-time favorite animal print (leopard is a close second), I want to dedicate a whole week to my snakeskin pieces, outfits and inspirations .  So without further a due, I hope you enjoy Snakeskin Week!  Here is some snakeskin inspiration to start the week off right!

Spring Mash Up

Fashion

With all the amazing fashion trends for this spring (into summer) I just can’t contain my excitement about all of them!  With that said, I know there is so much inspiration for neons, pastels, polka dots, stripes, etc. out there right now, that I wanted to challenge myself to put together some looks that incorporated at least a couple if not all of these spring trends: polka dots & stripes, pastels and neons.  I put together an office look, a fun night out look and a beach/pool look for this spring/summer!  I would definitely love to take advantage of...
