Style Fille: Rachel Bilson

Ok, so I don’t even know what Rachel Bilson is famous for anymore (other than that OC show), but I’ve always been a fan of her style. There’s just something about Rachel, don’t you think? I really like this outfit from head to toe, but if I had to choose just one piece to rave about, it would be her hat. You have to have a special kind of personality to be able to pull off hats. 

Take last night, for example. I watched Liz Cabral (a fellow Style Fille) sport a wide-brimmed black hat similar to Rachel’s, and she looked so…natural wearing it. Point is – Liz Cabral wore the ish out of her hat, the hat did not wear Liz Cabral. Which wouldn’t be the case with yours truly. If I ever put one of those babies on my head, I’d look like an extra from the Three Musketeers! Fun fact: as a kid, I wanted to be a musketeer, or an American Gladiator.

Anyway, the actual point of this post is – I love Rachel Bilson’s outfit, and I want to be able to wear hats without feeling self-conscious and awkward. Is that too much to ask? Is it? IS IT?

What do you think of Rachel’s outfit? Like? Hate? So-so? Want to challenge me to an American-Gladiators-styles duel ? Let me know in the comments.

Buy, Keep, or Toss: Backpack

Trends come and go, which makes getting rid of old things super tough. Take shoulder pads for one, had my mom kept her power suit tops for me, I wouldn’t have had to spend a small fortune updating my wardrobe with Zara/H&M pieces. Same goes for the new trend in bags – backpacks. Had I kept my old one…brown leather and tiny…perhaps I wouldn’t have shelled out for my Chanel one.

Seeing how this new trend is popping up on stylish shoulders of celebs such as Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Whitney Port, Rihanna, Daisy Lowe, and Rachel Bilson, among others, and with Stella McCartney designing for LeSportsac, as well as a miriad of designers including backpacks on their Spring and Fall 2010 runways, options are no longer limited to the usual Prada nylon backpacks…there are so many choices available – dressy, sporty, preppy. Yet, still, this trend is definitely not for everyone. What are your thoughts on this one?

Would you buy a backpack, pull an old one out of the closet archives, or would never-ever wear consider wearing one?

Coachella Style 2010

What better occasion to summer-style-watch than at a festival set in the middle of the desert? Year after year, young and hip celebs flock to Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival to soak up the sun, the booze, and the music. My fave styles this year come courtesy of Whitney Port, in her practical shoes, colorful summery outfits, and not-so-fussy hairstyles. Scroll down for more celebrity photos and let me know which celeb outfit is your favorite…or least favorite.

More after the jump!

All Canadian

Being Canadian is really de rigueur nowadays. It’s incredible what a little marketing can do. The Vancouver Olympics, of course, have a lot to do with it. But, credit should be given to HBC for really marketing the crap out of their Canadiana apparel. From Wayne Gretzky and Glee guys, to it-girl Rachel Bilson – The Bay clothes are all over celebs and athletes, and are selling out in stores everywhere! Over 3 million pairs of red mittens were sold to date…and still going.

As for this Smythe HBC blanket coat – I do love this coat on Rachel. Such fun colors and so very Canadian. Hmm, perhaps the All-Canadian look will catch on in the rest of the world soon enough? Until then…Go, Canada, go!

I’ve professed my undying love for all things striped many times before, and seeing Rachel Bilson rocking a striped tee under a boyfriend blazer just warms my heart. Love everything about her outfit. And her hair is smashing too! Classy and stylish…such a rare combination in Hollywood nowadays.
