This week we had the opportunity to check out designer Rachel Roy's bridge line for Macy's, Rachel Rachel Roy. Alongside our Network Partners from M.I.S.S. Crew and Trend Doll and the gals from Second City Style, Nitrolicious and WhereDidUGetThat.com, we got to meet Roy in person and talk with her about the collection. Poised to start delivering in August, the line includes clothing as well as footwear, handbags and accessories and calls up Roy's favorite pieces, such as easy men's cardigans and one-shoulder tops, as well as her favorite style mantras, such as using jewelry to toughen-up an outfit. We'll be bringing you more on Rachel Rachel Roy as the clothing hits shelves but, for now, check out our many snapshots of the collection along with a few look book images in the gallery below.
