"Today I&amp;#x27;m obsessed with the Rachel Zoe pre-fall 2012 collection lookbook, which just landed on my desk&amp;amp;#8212;every look in it is, in an of itself, the quintessential embodiment of the Rachel Zoe look with which we&amp;#x27;ve all become so familiar... after all, the woman does dress so many of the top celebrities in Hollywood. I&amp;#x27;m talking about that effortlessly chic juxtaposition of tailored-slouchy formal-informal long-short trendy-retro hippie-urban that Zoe has down to a total science. Check out 12 of my favorite looks after the jump. I love how sleek this look is&amp;amp;#8212;though I&amp;#x27;m not sure I could pull off a maxi skirt slit-up-to-there, but I love this spin on the traditional tuxedo. This look is great because (1) it&amp;#x27;s so easily replicable, (2) it&amp;#x27;s super-clean, (3) head-to-toe white feels really modern right now, and (4) the paillettes on the sweater and the sharp crease in the trousers are surprising details that make the outfit feel dressy and casual all at the same time. I can never really resist a head-to-toe black look capped off with a great chunky shoe. I also like the idea of a furry gilet, but personally I&amp;#x27;d probably take the inspiration and run with it in faux. The contrast of a super-flowy floral maxi dress with a bow neckline underneath a sharp, shoulder-padded fuchsia formal jacket is pretty awesome. Capes = love always and forever. And the wide-stripe sequin top underneath is one of those pieces that&amp;#x27;ll carry you from season to season. I love how the model looks in the capri-length trousers, but I&amp;#x27;m not exactly as leggy, so might pair this with a longer pant for real-world wear. This dress will go everywhere. This look feels very Karl to me&amp;amp;#8212;what do you think? I&amp;#x27;m loving the shape of the Rachel Zoe pant for pre-fall 2012&amp;amp;#8212;a long, lean bell bottom. Have you guys been wearing bell bottoms and flares this season? They&amp;#x27;re everywhere right now. Another dress that will go positively everywhere&amp;amp;#8212;office (with a jacket or cardi), cocktails, dinner, weekend brunch (with cute flats). I enjoy a paneled furry coat. In general. Loving the tailored jacket over floral flowy motif Zoe&amp;#x27;s got going on with this new collection. This jacket is amazing because it&amp;#x27;s super-curvy and cinched in at the waist. I love this matchy-matchy look, but I haven&amp;#x27;t really tried to pull this off with colors other than navy or black (I know, black on black is, like, a no-brainer). Maybe I will try camel or beige too! What other colors can you wear on top of each other like this? I&amp;#x27;m thinking orange? A bold turquoise? Maybe with a brooch? Am I crazy? And last but not least a classic sharp black suit with a straight ankle-length trouser. Fail-proof. Which of these pre-fall looks from Rachel Zoe are your favorites? Which ones do you think you&amp;#x27;d wear? Sound off in the comments, please!
