  • Rachel's Jil Sander Wool Varsity Lettered Sweater. “I wear a J pendant because both my husband and my son are J’s – so J is my letter. And not that we’re friends, but Beyonce, my friend, has been photographed in the black version of this because of her J

  • Rachel's Alexander McQueen De-Manta Butterfly-Print Clutch Bag. “My gay husband Hung – he’s wonderful, and he gave me this McQueen bag for my last birthday. It’s just so McQueen-y and it’s not trying to hard, and it’s not one of those evening bags that’s
  • The Alexander McQueen De-Manta Butterfly-Print Clutch Bag.
  • Rachel's Chanel Flats. “I kind of have a little soft spot for these. These little bad boys, because I am a high heels person, I wear like eight-inch inch heels. I always joke that my husband’s going to see this tiny casket when I die and he’ll be like “wh

  • “I do have a love hate relationship with sweaters because I feel like they’re not forever and a moth could eat them, you know, and they require a lot of dry cleaning. So my typical go to are blazers and leather jackets with t shirts under them.”
  • Rachel juggles whimsical prints from Dolce and Gabbana and Stella McCartney.
