Last weekend was a long holiday, and Rachel Zoe opted to spend some quality time with her family on Saturday. She made a quick Starbucks run with her husband, Rodger Berman, and two stylish kids, Kai and Skyler, in Beverly Glen Cir, Los Angeles.

Rodger Berman was born on September 30, 1968, in New York City. In 2011, he told Harper’s Bazaar how he met Rachel Zoe.

I met Rachel in the summer of 1991. She was 19, and I was 22. She was a restaurant hostess, and I was working as a waiter in Washington, D.C., where we both attended college. I vividly remember the first time I saw her, wearing a tight black minidress, high-heeled pumps, stick-straight hair, and big red lips covered in M.A.C. Chili lipstick (her trademark). She was the most beautiful woman I’d ever seen. I quickly learned that she also had more clothes than any woman I had ever seen. I often wondered if she’d ever do an outfit change mid-date.

After deciding to get married in 1996, Rachel Zoe and Rodger Berman had a simple and inexpensive wedding in 1998.

The 43-year-old celebrity stylist channeled her inner bohemian-chic persona in an off-the-shoulder black maxi dress as she toted her youngest son and held her eldest’s hand.

She styled the boho look with layers of gold necklaces, a pair of gold earrings, and a selection of rings and bracelets. Shielding her eyes behind a pair of large sunglasses, the mom-of-two wore her blonde locks down and flowing over her shoulders.

Rachel completed her bohemian fashion with a pair of strappy sandals from her own collection. Back in March, she was spotted in this same pair while clad in another black maxi dress.

She was wearing the “Harlin” sandals featuring a caged design with twisted straps made of soft leather, golden rings and logo hardware, back-zip fastenings, open toes, 1.25-inch lug-soled platforms, and 5.5-inch stiletto heels.
