Here on The City, we are all about cultivating personal style, luckily, we can look to some of our favorite celebrities for a few style lessons.

I can't remember when exactly I feel in love with Rachel Bilson's style. But I consider her one of my style mentors. I love how she always manages to look perfect for every occasion. Casual or dressed up, she always looks fab.

I will watch whatever she's in just to get a glimpse at the styling.

We can, you guessed it, learn five style lessons courtesy of her fabness
1. Go Vintage

Rachel isn't afraid to invest in vintage pieces. I wish I knew how to shop for vintage clothing, I would be all over it! I love how she modernizes her vintage pieces with current accessories so she doesn't look frumpy or dated.
2. Wear Eye-Catching Shoes

I can always count Rachel to step out in an amazing pair of shoes. A girl after my own heart, I tell ya. Isn't your eye drawn to her shoes in the above pictures? Oh, have you checked out her shoe line with Shoe Mint?
3. Add Girly Accents

I love that Rachel always plays up her femininity with girly accents like floral prints, bows and silhouettes that flatter her shape. I hate to call her cute because she's grown woman (I don't like being called adorable, either) but she's just so cute!
4. Accessorize!

Yes, yes, yes, Rachel! She realizes the power of accessories. Whether to add a pop of color with a bag, layer up with a scarf or create a statement with her jewelry-- I love it. Um, not to mention she has a covet-worthy collection of shoes and handbags. 
5. Take Risks

One of my favorite things about Rach (because, we're girlfriends in my head) is she has fun with fashion. She isn't afraid to take risks. She mixes prints, wears bow ties, wears jackets typically worn by a marching band drum major. I love it.

Do you live for Rachel's sense of style the way I do? Do you watch Hart of Dixie after Gossip Girl on Monday nights? I don't miss it!

Happy Thanksgiving Eve :)
