Gretchen Rossi is not afraid to have fun with her fashion. The Real Housewives of Orange County friend had some serious fashion moments from her past time as a cast member on RHOC. And Gretchen thinks so, too, as she’s keeping some of her most exciting pieces more than 10 seasons later in her over-the-top closet at home.
How to Watch
The mom of one took BravoTV.com inside of the closet located in the house she shares with her longtime fiancé Slade Smiley, and their daughter, Skylar Grey Smiley. She showed off some of her favorite pieces, both new and old.
“This is my everyday closet,” she explained in the video above. “This is where I come and get dressed for the day. I love everything to be color coordinated, and I have some pieces I just absolutely love.”
One of those pieces is a pair of “blinged-out” 6-inch Louboutin high heels that she wore for “a couple of the Bravo opening title shoots.” She also showed off a pair of rhinestone encrusted off white satin shoes, which she wore to get engaged to Slade.
“I think these were the ones I wore for my engagement to Slade. I love the bling again. They’re white. They’re very wedding-esque,” she noted.
Gretchen first proposed to Slade during RHOC Season 8, Episode 17. She had staged an elaborate proposal, first by surprising Slade during his radio show with a song that she had recorded for him, asking him to marry her in the lyrics.

She then had Slade meet her at a helicopter pad in downtown Los Angeles, where she was waiting for him in a white dress, those shoes, and a ring in her hand. Slade got down on one knee to accept the proposal, as seen in the video, below.
Details on Gretchen Rossi’s “vintage” handbag collection
Gretchen also showed off her “vintage” handbag collection, including a Fendi bag, aka the inspiration behind her own purse line, the Gretchen Christine collection. “I’m sure you guys remember this piece from the show,” she said, holding up the orange purse.
