R.Bilson is a simple girl

Rachel steps out, looking lovely, in a white tee and denim trousers. This look is very minimal and clean, but most importantly...very simple. The great part about this look is that it's super easy to duplicate and really affordable!

"Favorite T" Available at the GAP, $14.50


Hanes "Vintage Tee" (2pk!) at Target, $8.99


BDG Trouser at Urban Outfitters, $49


Vigoss trouser at Nordstrom, $54

Finalize this look by adding your favorite accessory, a clutch, bag or jewelry. Add some fun pumps or colorful wedges to make this look your own!

Mona from Seattle

your name: Mona

where are you from? Seattle

what are you wearing? Society for Rational Dress coat that I lost, United Bamboo shirt, Topshop gilet, and Loeffler Randall shoes.

what inspires you style wise? People, nature, architecture, and for celebs I guess The Sartorialist counts...

I love the way she layers her clothing and uses neutrals in a way that is not even close to being boring!

finally some more "street styles"

This is Paige from Ventura County, CA

"I'm wearing a shirt given to me from a peculiar girl named Cat about three years ago. The shorts were made by me. The shoes are good ole Vans. The sunglasses are from H&M. And my favorite accessory is the blue raspberry Simply Tasty.I'm inspired by styles from the 50s and borrow a bit from the 70s. I keep up with facehunter and the sartorialist...but am only inspired by like 1/75 photos. Lately I've been trying to dress less loud and more simple, but I've keeping it interesting with high waists, different textures, and subtle accessories. "

I'm really in love with these shorts that she made herself and her outfit as a whole!

Hot hoodie for less!

Remember a few months ago, I did that post on the hot design duo Mike & Chris Bailey? Ever since then, I have been looking around for that cute 3/4 sleeve, bubble-hoodie...on ebay, hoping to get it for a fraction of the price. I couldn't get my mind off the darn thing and to top it all off, every freakin' magazine had celebs like Rachel Bilson, wearing the heck out of it!

Fast forward a few months later....Today while shopping at Target, I see this cinched-waist hoodie (Below). I was instantly reminded of the Mike & Chris Bailey hoodie! I know it isn't identical, but it's similar and it looks great. I was sad to see that most of them were snatched up, only XL sizes were left. I was lucky enough to find a Medium hidden in the sale rack. I tried it on immediately, but that was too big! It's definitely super-cute and it could be tolerable in the summer heat, since it's pretty light-weight. I will be buying it in SMALL, who could pass up that price, right?


Mike & Chris hoodie, price: $308.




Mossimo hoodie, price: $19.99 at Target.

Ashley and MK...the BIG 2-1

So, as most of you may know, today is Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen's 21st Birthday! I know that many of our readers are HUGE MK and Ashley fans, as am I, so this is for all of you. Here are a few fotos of the girls in all their fabulousness. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ladies!

R. Bils is baaaack!

Here she is, out on the town with little sister Hattie! Maybe, I'm the only one who cares, but I'm so glad to see pictures of Rachel...even if the most exciting thing the paparazzi could catch her doing was eating CHEETOS!!!

MK lookin' good!

So, they got Mary-Kate to wear some form fitting clothes for once! And what do you know...it's something other than black...andddd it's pretty! She graced the pages of YOU, a UK magazine and she's looking pretty darn good!

If you're a super-fan, you may interested to know that she'll be starring in a few episodes of Showtime's WEEDS. Here come's judgement day.....can the girl act?! She is definitely "Michelle" no more!

Adam Brody strikes again!

So, Adam Brody was spotted with Lauren German at some event in Beverly Hills. Personally, I couldn't even remember who this girl was, but after checking imdb, I found that she had appeared in a handful of movies like, A Walk to Remember, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and soon she'll be seen in Hostel II. I don't get Adam and his current girl choices. This girl isn't that bad, but she isn't that great either! First, it was that very public make-out session with that icky, unattractive "model" and now this?! The NY post is reporting that the two were getting "very cozy" and spent the entire night together.

Here's a piece of the article:

"It isn't clear if Adam Brody is settling down or playing the field, but the Hollywood hottie’s latest conquest is fresh-faced “Hostel II” actress Lauren German. The two were very cozy the other night at the Tower Grove Villa in Beverly Hills, according to a spy. They arrived together for a DJ battle sponsored by Reebok and Vitaminenergy, and “Adam spent the entire night with Lauren. He was caressing her back and refused to be photographed with her.” A rep for Brody told Page Six, “I don’t comment on my clients’ personal lives.”

Mischa Barton is a poser....for Jalouse Magazine!

So, everywhere I look there is people blogging about Mischa's new role in a movie about T.A.T.U, that wierd girl band that had, like, one hit song a few years ago. I don't really care and I don't think it sounds interesting at all, but if you want to know more click here.

Here is a photo shoot she did for Jalouse magazine. I haven't heard any news about R.Bils in a few days....err weeks, so I guess M.Barton will do for now! She looks pretty good, though...right?

SJP + Bitten!

Sarah Jessica Parker's clothing line "Bitten" is finally in stores! She has teamed up with Steve & Barry to give the everyday woman the opportunity to get great, stylish clothes for an affordable price! Everything in her line is under $20! How cool is that! I know what I'll be doing this weekend....driving to San Antonio for a shopping spree at Steve & Barry's!!!

Target's newest collaboration is with Devi Kroell!

on another note, I'm super jealous of the Australians!!! Why, you ask? The Target in Australia, did a collaboration with none other than Stella Mccartney! What about us? I need a little Stella Mccartney for Target in my life! Her line sold out in a few hours and I read there was around 400 people waiting for the doors to open! If you're dying to get your hands on one of her pieces, head on over to ebay...you might get lucky!
