What’s In a Name?

rachel name

Since I’ve been blogging, I’ve noticed a lot of things. These include that the general fashion blogger population must be rich to buy their $1000 Chloe bags, people really need to learn to use their spell check, and that there are a lot of bloggers that share my name- Rachel.

I first starting noticing this when my fellow Rachels would comment on one of my posts and write something like “-From one Rachel to another!” at the end of their comment. I started following some blogs of a few Rachels as well and it sparked a brilliant idea in my head- why not make a post dedicated to all my name-sharing blogging sisters? So here you go:
