Last night I found myself saying to a very wise friend "why can't I dress like Rachel Bilson's dressed in this picture?" (the one above, I hope that's inferred)...
To which I received a very well deserved "are you kidding me? don't be ridiculous, that's the easiest outfit ever," and of course my friend was absolutely correct, as she tends to be on most occassions. While doing my usual internet shopping and cruising for looks to post, I came across what can only be Rachel's exact Gingham shirt at ...shock me shock me, The Gap...pause for reaction.
Gap Gingham shirt added to cart I started thinking "I want more, I need more celebrity looks from stores that I can actually afford to shop in"... enter Drew Barrymore on the set of Long Distance something or other... wearing a pair of menswear inspired trousers that were already filed under "fall must have." And look at that, Ms. Barrymore's pants are identical to a pair of trousers that were actually already in my Urban Outfitters cart...
So there you have it kids, celebrities are just like us... note to self, wear gingham shirt with cut off jean shorts and pants with striped boatneck shirt... please try this at home...

Is it me or was Rachel Bilson completely M.I.A. for about a month there? The month of July has been pretty much RBils less, and all of a sudden out of nowhere the petite fashionista appears! We've had not one but 5 sightings of little Rachel and her adorable style this week. And it's only Wednesday... Hmmm curious isn't it? Me thinks the peeps at InStyle must have called Rachel up and said, "listen we love your column and it's great but you need to get your summer booties on and get back out there where the razzi can photograph you"... Well I'm not complaining either way, it's been a while since some good Bilson looks came our way and she's making up for lost time. Especially in that black Helmut Lang jumper. And if you look carefully Rachel is carrying a shopping bag labeled BPCM in that picture, my alma matter if you will!! Bismarck Phillips Communications & Media on the arm of Rachel Bilson!!! That just puts a smile on my face!
