Style Journal: Rachel Bilson

Mischa Barton may steal the limelight on the red carpet, but Rachel Bilson is the real darling when it comes to day-to-day style. Personally I think Rachel's got more of a sense of style, but Mischa simply looks gorgeous in almost anything because she's got that whole tall and skinny frame, (not to mention that beautiful face and hair). Anyways, here are some recent Rachel photos:

I really like that green half-length cardigan thingy Rachel's got on top of the white top -it's perfect to liven up an otherwise ordinary outfit.

This purple top has totally got that modern-vintage feel going on. Simple and effortless, which is very different from some celebrities' great layering efforts.

This outfit is so cute and daring. Before you start to criticise, wearing a black mini skirt and black stockings underneath oversized tops is so Kate Moss 2006. Be prepared to see more of it around!

The sweetheart couple who are amazingly (in celeb standards) still together are just sweeter than ever! I'm the type of girl who drools over Rachel's clothes rather than Adam Brody, but hey, if you don't like Rachel's style, you could stare at Adam instead!

I'm not much of a fan for wearing plain splandex as pants, but let's just divert our attention to the tops.The tops are soo adorable and colorful -perfect for summer.

So this is how real life people wear Chanel jackets with jeans (very Daria in Chanel ads.) The key is to wear something casual-looking underneath so you won't look too old or formal.

Rachel shopping with friends in a very pretty dress. It's such a casual, girly dress. Where where where does one get such dresses?

Wearing a black long sleeve top underneath a dress is a very practical trend right now (and you could probably try it again next winter.) The way to wear it is that the dress should be made of silk like Rachel's here. It gives a better contrast.

OK, this is not a very normal-day outfit, but it's stylish in a non-showy way. The lesson here is that when you're wearing a plain color dress (esp if it's neautral-colored,) then carry a bright-colored clutch.
