I love Rachel Bilson. Her style. Her humor. Her new show Hart of Dixie that makes me laugh and pine over the clothes (a separate post on the fashion inspired by Hart of Dixie coming soon to a BussBuss near you!).

If you’re a fan too, you will likely die over this video like I did. Behold, Rachel Bilson rapping.

What would Rachel Bilson do?

I’m so excited to finally be getting my hair cut today. Actually I was supposed to go yesterday, but LA decided it was time to rain (which never happens) and we all know that that would have been a complete waste (hello, frizzies!). So I rescheduled for this afternoon (and am hoping that the rain, rain goes away and comes back another day – preferably when I’m away in Texas!), which gave me time to ponder what I would like my hair to actually look like. See the answer above. Rachel Bilson’s easy, long, layered locks fit my number one requirement: That I can still pull my hair back into a ponytail. Who’s your hair inspiration these days?

Rachel Bilson is the queen of casual-cool and effortless-chic. Since her OC days as Summer Roberts, this LA valley girl hasn’t missed a style step, and has evolved into a bona fide fashion expert, dishing out style advice in her monthly InStyle column and as style director for Sunglass Hut. So, it’s only fitting that she’s our inaugural Style Icon. Enjoy her signature looks, with gobs of inspiring photos and tips on how to get Rachel Bilson’s look.

Though she’s mastered the art of casual-cool, she still knows how to bring on the glamour — in her own way, naturally. Bilson opts for black and white and shine, shine, shine and never underestimates the element of surprise.

When not in her other daily uniform of cutoffs, simple tees and blazers, you’ll find Bilson in her signature look of quirky day dresses with an arty, bohemian twist. And, of course, her bestie Ray-Ban Wayfarers.

Go short or go home. You’ll rarely see Rachel Bilson in a long dress, instead opting for short — but not too short — frocks that don’t overwhelm her tiny frame and show off her great gams. For more sophisticated evening looks, she typically goes for solid, monotone looks (another lengthening trick) and adds a twist with one standout accessory — a cool bag or edgy shoes. She seldom wears jewelry, which could distract and chop up her petite frame. And when it comes to beauty, she chooses a slightly smoky eye and natural lips and wears her hair down, parted down the middle, or in a casual bun or ponytail. Easy breezy downtown style icon.

Jumpers aren’t for everyone, but if you’re a petite coquette like Rachel Bilson, Audrey Hepburn or Nicole Richie, it’s a trend worth exploring.

Flirty and feminine, we love this floral take on the vintage-inspired trend – and the cute cutout back is tres chic.

In fact, it has us jumping for joy.

Wear it now with sheer black tights and a boyfriend blazer or cardigan; when it warms up, flaunt those bare stems.
