Stylish Saturdays: Rachel Bilson

1/22/2011

No one evokes this more than RACHEL BILSON.

Rachel Bilson, who became a household name because of her role
as the sassy Summer Roberts on The OC, is my style icon.







She is usually photographed out and about town in jeans, a nice jacket, a lovely bag, and flats. She occasionally wears scarves and is almost always not without her sunnies (to hide her from the paparazzi, of course! :) )


If you've noticed, she seldom has anything printed. If there was any, it would be the scarf, skirt or printed dresses.


She isn't really a fan of accessories, prefering maybe earrings or a nice bag, but my favorite accessories of hers were her gorgeous ex-boyfriends Adam Brody and Hayden Christensen! Too bad she isn't with any of 
them anymore. :(

Even though she is dressed so simply, I  think what makes Rachel Bilson keep landing on all the best dressed lists is her attitude. She has this inner spunkiness, sunshine and confidence emanating from within. Other than that, it's the effortlessness of what she's wearing--she always looks comfortable!

Being in college and having to run around campus all day, I favor jeans over shorts and skirts because I need to be in something comfortable! I wear flats a lot, and like Rachel Bilson, I tend not to go for anything with too much print because I usually think that people remember your clothes more if they are printed.

The best thing about her (our?) style is that you can look at her photos and NOT know that it was taken in 2007 or what, when this trend was in, which makes her photos look NOT dated. Quoting Mean Girls, "She's always fierce, she always wins Spring Fling Queen (well in the OC anyway!)"

Golden Globes 2011

1/17/2011

It's awards season time again!
Time to see who ruled the red carpet at the 2011 Golden GLobes!

My favorites were

Lea Michele in Oscar dela Renta
She always picks dresses like these, but she looks good. Claire Danes trumps all the pink-wearers in my opinion though.


Claire Danes in Calvin Klein
(by the way, her husband is GORGE. Hugh Dancy, WHY? :(( )




Sandra Bullock (not so sure about the hair though!) in Jenny Packham
Favorite Studded Dress

Dianna Agron in J. Mendel
(I'm not really loving the shoes though, but she looks like a goddess, as always!)





Zac Efron in Calvin Klein. He looks HOTTT with his new hair.
(I guess I'll forever be biased with Zac Efron)



Carrie Underwood in Badgley Mischka
(not digging the hair though)

Leighton Meester in Burberry
Favorite Romantic Look
I'm not really a fan of Leighton's red carpet looks. I think this one is her best yet!

Anne Hathaway in Armani Prive
Favorite I'm-Breaking-Free-from-my-Good-Girl-Image Look:)
I am in love with the way she just carried that dress! Such a far cry from her pre-Prada days! :)


My observation: A lot wore their hair down. Colors were light, leaning toward the nudes, pinks. Staples like black and silver also showed up. Long-sleeved dresses with the backs cut out were also a common occurrence--Angelina Jolie, Anne Hathaway and Emma Stone donned them. I love Emma Stone and everything, but I don't like her blonde hair, and her pink dress sort of washed her off. 
There was a lot of sparkly dresses also; Taylor Swift would be proud! :) There was a lot of green as well--Angelina Jolie, Mila Kunis, Catherine Zeta Jones in Monique Lhuillier. (and I thought ORANGE was the color of the year. Glad it's not!)

I also noticed that a lot of the artistes were not in their usual all-out flamboyant selves. I loved Tilda Swinton's look too, by the way. She proved LESS is definitely MORE.


Tilda Swinton in Jil Sander

Justin Bieber's suit looked too big for him, just to comment.

And yeah, I haven't seen Black Swan yet but congratulations to Natalie Portman for winning Best Actress! :)


Trendspotting: Beanie Babies

They are all the rage right now!


Justin Timberlake has been wearing them before the end of time. Love the way he mixes things up with those glasses and plaid polo.


Ex-lovers Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens also wear the ubiquitous accessory. I love V's look. Her cascading curls lend a hippie vibe, which goes with her laidback style. Zac looks hot, as always. Look at those biceps! (I'm biased!)
BTW, I heard they got back together?



Robert Pattinson, rocking the trend. I haven't been a fan of RPattz lately but I have to admit, he looks hot here!


Jake loves blondes.. and chicks in beanies. Jake Gyllenhaal's exes, Reese Witherspoon and Taylor Swift. Now who wore it better? 

I love Taylor and everything but I'd have to go with Reese. Also paired with Jake, Reese looked better! Too bad Reese is engaged now. :(


Seems like Jake himself is a fan of this trend. I'm imagining how cute he and Reese would look wearing their outfits together!

Told my friend Mithi she probably started it all!
This photo was taken March 2010, we were at the airport about to go home.


What would you wear your beanie with?
