It's the most wonderful time of the year! Last night insiders gathered at Caruso's in Palisades Village for a glamorous evening of cocktails, dinner and a presentation of the Rachel Zoe Holiday Collection!

Hosted by Rachel Zoe, Sara & Erin Foster, Jennifer Meyer and Palisades Village developer Rick Caruso, the evening was nothing short of glamorous. Guests anxiously  took to the walkable downtown village that was filled to the brim with holiday cheer and Christmas lights in order to check out the latest from our favorite IT girl - Rachel Zoe! 

Rachel Zoe confessed to Apparel News that the holiday looks are a favorite. “I love sparkle, shine, glitz and glamour,” she said. She believes it’s what the doctor ordered for wellbeing on the holidays. “The more you dress up, the better you feel,” she said.

The Holiday / Resort 2019 collection exudes an effortless glamour of the 1970s with all of  Zoe’s signature favorite design elements. Bold metallic suiting, sultry sequin evening gowns and feminine cocktail dresses; always drawing inspiration from the strong confident women that inspire her. The pieces are elegant, powerful, and timeless - and is the perfect addition to your wardrobe for holiday soirees on your calendar!

"The holiday season is the most glamorous time of the year and is the perfect time to style yourself and dress up.  I’m so excited to present my Holiday / Resort collection, available to shop now at my Palisades Village boutique, just in time for the holidays,” Rachel Zoe exclaimed!

Also in attendance, Paris Hilton! The hotel heiress was all smiles post her breakup with fiance Chris Zylka! According to E! News she even offered some encouragement for the holidays! "I am so happy. I just love my life," Hilton said. "My advice is to always be happy and feel good about yourself—because life is truly too short."

While the village has been intact for some years, Zoe recently opened her Palisades Village boutique in September which features her namesake clothing line along with vintage pieces from her personal archive collected over her 20+ year career.
