i heart rachel bilson's style

i do.  i love how rachel bilson layers her clothes, mixes new with vintage, and uses the same article of clothing in multiple outfits.  so here are a couple of her recent everyday outfits that i like and some ways for you to get the same style wearing clothes from independent designers.  

so i wouldn’t be able to pull off the fedora like she does, but i think it looks cute with this casual outfit (i’m sure she was also trying to hide from the photographers). and the chanel scarf – who doesn’t like an oversized scarf to finish off an outfit?

i love this jimmy choo bag she’s been carrying around everywhere, but that’s a little (well, a lot) over my budget.  and while looking through pictures, i noticed she wore this blazer as a part of multiple outfits – sometimes with jeans and sometimes with a skirt.  it’s so key to have items in your closet that you love and can wear as a part of different outfits.

style inspiration: feist

this weekend i was in nyc having a great time visiting friends.  on sunday night, i went to a concert for Dark Was The Night, a compilation album that supports AIDS prevention by Red Hot Organization.  please check it out.  anyway, as part of that concert, Feist performed a few songs.  i realized when she was up there singing away that she has great style!  last night she was wearing a sheer white blouse, some boyfriend jeans and heels – cute!  here are a few pictures of her from her website:

as you could see, her style consists of pretty organic, natural colors with a lot of blouses and jeans. i don’t know where Feist shops, but i just looked around for clothes from some indie designers that seem to fit her style – check them out:
