Celeb Style Steal: Rachel Bilson's Sexy Ethereal Look

When it comes to fashion, actress Rachel Bilson is a true chameleon evidenced by the fact that no matter what trend or style she chooses, she pulls it off perfectly, always creating her style, rather than emulating someone else's. At the Teen Choice Awards, Rachel- who picked up an award for Choice Movie Actress- rocked a look that was equally elegant, ethereal, and playfully sexy. Wearing a one shoulder icy blue dress from the Brian Reyes Pre-Spring 2009 collection paired with nude Lanvin pumps (a good tip for petite girls like Rachel to create the illusion of longer legs), finishing off with some fabulous accessories including a slim Marni clutch, oversized Amrapali earrings, and a gold cocktail ring, Rachel provided yet another flawless look to inspire budding fashionistas everywhere! Check out my SLIDESHOW to get this gorgeous look!

Celebrity Designer Obsession: Rebecca Minkoff

At age 26, handbag designer Rebecca Minkoff has achieved a level of acclaim and success that is the designer's equivalent to the American Dream, I mean, what greater validation is there for a designer than the knowledge that your handbags are on virtually every 'It Girl's' must-have list? While best known for her handbag collections, Rebecca actually started out as a clothing designer and it wasn't until her good friend, actress Jenna Elfman, asked her to design a bag for an upcoming movie that the 'morning after' bag was born. Word of mouth quickly spread about Rebecca's innovative handbags that combine fabulousness with functionality and she became an instant hit among regular women and celebrities alike, with an impressive list of A-list fans including style mavens like Sarah Jessica Parker, Nicole Richie, Lindsay Lohan, Lauren Conrad, Marissa Tomei, Hilary Duff, Cameron Diaz, Laura Prepon, Rachel Bilson, Vanessa Minnillo, and Catherine Bell just to name a few. The Rebecca Minkoff craze will not be slowing down any time soon, with each season bringing a new crop of bags even more fabulous than the last, so don't you think it's time to channel your inner It Girl and get your Minkoff on? Exactly, so check out my SLIDESHOW for some of my favorite bags from the collection, as seen on some of today's hottest stars.

Bag of the Week: The Juliana Jabour Drawstring Shoulder Bag

In keeping with last week's rant on fall merchandise hitting stores and online boutiques REALLY early, I've found yet another summer style that's on deep discount. This one is a delightful drawstring shoulder bag from Brazilian-based Juliana Jabour. The muted yellow hue is great for summer, but really can be enjoyed all year around. And, I'm totally feeling resurgence for drawstrings, as well as ultra long chain handles that have the bag sitting at or just below the hip. Come fall, you'll be seeing a ton of brands coming out with the long chain and leather handles on small purses or drawstrings handing at or bellow the hip. For inspiration think Chanel circa 1988 or Rachel Bilson circa now.
