Everyone loves Rachel Bilson. Why? Because Rachel is a Hollywood actress that could have been any girl. Any girl, anywhere. Her adorable looks make her your girl next door and the way that her wardrobe choices look effortless and not too matchy or accessorized are reasons to love her. She’s a casual and simple beauty, until of course you take notice of her man-candy fiance. We won’t hold that against her though, afterall, we are imaginary best friends.

I do like Rachel Bilson‘s style, I really do. She definitely has one for that matter, not just a personal stylist on speed dial like certain other celebrities. You can see fashion is an important part of her life (she has her own column with InStyle after all). Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way; what I don’t understand is why some people overidolize her fashion sense. There are women who ooooh and aaaaah about every. single. one. of her outfits even if it only consisted of a worn-in tee and a pair of denim shorts. I can’t stand that kind of unnecessary overhyping (Mary-Kate Olsen and Sienna Miller anyone?).
Take this outfit for example which Rachel wore to a meeting a few days ago. I really dislike it in its entirety because a) I don’t think the 3.1 Phillip Lim romper (yes, it’s a romper) isn’t exactly flattering b) the brown Chanel bag doesn’t fit in with the all-black ensemble and c) nude shoes over black tights? Seriously, Rachel? It looks so weird and while I generally like me some contrasts this particular one I don’t. What I do like though are the nude Rag & Bone wedges Rachel is sporting here; they’re quite lustworthy actually. Also on sale. For 30% OFF. See below if you’re just as obsessed.

Rachel Bilson is one of my style-crushes. I pretty much fall head over heels for everything she wears. I love that she is neither obsessively trendy nor yawningly classic; she lands somewhere in the middle. So naturally she would choose 3.1 Phillip Lim‘s Edie Bow Studded bag as her go-to accessory. The bow is of course unapologetically girly, but the studs add a roughness. The size, too, is perfect. Obviously Rachel agrees as she appears to carry it constantly! Rachel isn’t the only one, however; we’ve also seen this bag on the shoulders of Diane Kruger, Leighton Meester and Nicky Hilton. I’d love to add my name to that list, I really would, but it’s the same old song: too pricey and sold out.

ModCloth Star Light, Star Bright Bag
Well, well, well, look what popped up on ModCloth? There is absolutely no denying that the Star Light, Star Bright bag was heavily inspired by the Phillip Lim Edie. From the bow to the studs to the embossed leather – ladies and gentlemen: we have a dead ringer. With the much more manageable price of $62.99, this bag is sure to be a huge hit.

The Spring 2008 wedge heel booties by Maison Martin Margiela below reminded me of legwarmers when I first saw them. I would have never thought they’d look so cute when put on until I saw Rachel Bilson flaunting her nude pair.

Nine West “Palomino” Sandals
If you are looking for the same style without the hefty price tag, these t-strap peep-toes by Nine West are a great alternative if you want Louboutin 4 less. The heel on these is not as high and they don’t have the double platform, but the overall look of these shoes is almost identical compared to the real deal. They retail for $89 which is quite affordable and come in a multitude of colors including black, brown and purple suede as well as black and brown leather.
