She's got the Write Style: Rachel Bilson

I want to start featuring celebrities and style icons that influence me and my style. So for my first post I immediately thought of Rachel Bilson! Since I first started following her style on the O.C. I have been a huge fan. And when I realized she had great style not just on the show I knew I had found style inspiration. I personally think she has great style and I love the way she can make any trend work for her. She is petite like me and so I know alot of the trends she rocks will work for smaller people.

When I was going through her pictures I could immediately pick out the main pieces to her wardrobe, but still, she manages to dress in a way that makes it almost impossible to say that she has a certain type of style. One minute she dresses boho, the next she's girly, you just never know with her. And that's one of the reasons why I think she has the Write style.

Below I came up with some of the key elements that make up an outfit by Rachel Bilson.

First, her everyday style. I love looking at candid shots of Rachel because no matter what she's doing she always looks good. I pinpointed her style to three key parts. Blazers, boots and of course, wayfarers.

• Rachel seems to love wearing blazers and that is evident in a lot of her pictures. She rocks black ones, gray ones, even pink. I love the structured look of blazers because even worn with jeans and a t-shirt you can look like you're headed to a meeting or just hanging out with friends.
• Another piece of clothing Rachel routinely wears are boots. She seems to have hundred of pairs. Knee high boots, ankle boots, booties. You name it, she's worn it. I also like wearing boots (when it's not too hot here in Florida) because they work with almost anything. You can pair them with dresses and skirts, skinny jeans, wideleg jeans, even leggings! So if you don't have a pair I recommend everyone own at least one pair of boots.
• The last piece to Rachel's wardrobe, but probably the most important, is sunglasses. Wayfarers to be exact. Rarely do you find an outdoor picture of Rachel without her signature sunnies. After seeing Rachel look so chic in them I immediately went out and bought a pair and now I can't live without them. They make any outfit glamorous. And wearing them gives any outfit that "celebrity hiding from the paparrazzi" look. If you don't believe me, try them. I promise you will not be disappointed.

Next, I looked at Rachel's event style. Specifically what she would wear to an event or party. I noticed that, again while she does try different things, her main go-to style was either dresses or skirts with heels. Perhaps it is because of her small size, I know that I wear dresses when I want to look taller because a good mini dress can make your legs look like a models! Below are some pictures that I pulled of Rachel's event style.

So what do you think? Do you agree that she has the Write Style? Drop me a line and let me know!

Lots of love,
