Style Spotlight:: Rachel Bilson

Whats not to love about this California beauty. She's got the looks, the glamour and the success. Rachel made her television debut in 2003 when she became the very well-known Summer Roberts.

In the last few years, the petite star has gone from small-screen success on The O.C. to leading lady roles in flicks like New York, I Love You. Since then we have got to witness her style transform. She is always so stunning whether she is wearing a big sack over herself or wearing an elegant dress designed by Chanel, Dior, Zac Posen,Diane Von Furstenberg, Hervé Léger, && more. I know her style inspires me... what about you? Check out more pictures of rachel at Thefashionspot!

Fancy Pants

This spring, one of the hottest trends is wide leg pants. Don’t get me wrong…skinny jeans aren’t going anywhere, but wide-leg pants are back and better than ever! Designers like Rebecca Taylor, Chloe, Etro, Christian Dior, Marc Jacobs, and Maria Grachvogel went back to their favorite era... the 70s! You’ll see them in everything from denim to satin. The pictures below are just some images I found using google images. Enjoy!!

Kaylee Vs. Charlie

Kaylee Defer has recently grabbed a killer role as Serena's cousin, Charlie, in the hit show series Gossip Girl. When I first read about Kaylee I must say I was quite interested to see how her role would be like. So as I sat there and watched the first episode she appeared in I fell in love. She has beauty, talent and great style. In a recent interview I read in LiveFast Magazine I've discovered that she's a very down to earth gal who loves to have fun and travel. Definitely check out this girl too!
