I’ve LOVED Rachel Bilson since her Newport Harbor days as Summer Roberts on former hit show, The OC. In fact, one of my weekly highlights in college was scoping out Summer’s outfits every week on the show. 

What’s new with Rachel besides her new movie, Jumper with beau, Hayden Chrisensen?

• 2/22: Rachel Bilson To “Design” Bridesmaid Dresses – Jezebel
• 2/20: Rachel Bilson Shows Off Her Nylon Style and Love For Pigs – PopSugar
• 2/20: Fashion Finds: Rachel Bilson – I’m Not Obsessed
• 2/19: Look of the Day: Rachel Bilson – In Style

I’m anxiously awaiting the arrival of my March issue of Nylon where Rachel rocks the cover (all photos from Nylon Mag).

Let me begin by saying I LOVE them!

Latex leggings have been around for over a year now, but I finally became brave enough to buy a pair. Susie of Style Bubble (one of my fav fashion bloggers) inspired me with her post earlier this week where she mentioned she often wears them as pants. I decided to go with the high-wasted lamé style from American Apparel (see my shopping codes page for a 15% discount through 3/31), but the Kova & T’s (as seen on Mary Kate Olsen) are another great option.

Nikki Hilton also nailed the look earlier this week on an evening out with Paris, and her Christian Louboutins were the icing on the cake (photos from popsugar.com).

Like Style Bubble, Nicky and MKO, I went with the route of wearing them as pants. Here’s a pic of how I put it together…just wish I had Nicky’s CL pumps! In case you’re Sugar obsessed like me, you can also view this in FabSugar’s Look Book (if you’re unfamiliar and love fashion, you have to check it out and submit your looks).

I just joined this awesome new social shopping site called StyleFeeder. It allows you to download a tool for your Internet browser enabling you to bookmark all your must-haves (clothing, shoes, home products, tech, etc). When it comes to birthdays and holidays, you can share these lists with your family/friends/significant others…I know it will be a HUGE help for my boyfriend as I usually have to post ideas for him on the fridge. You can also share your Stylefeed list on Facebook and MySpace.

There’s also a cool interactive aspect that allows you to rate products on other peoples’ Stylefeeds.

Here are a few pics to give you a glimpse of what it looks like.

 Here’s a round up of promo codes for anyone looking to spend their tax returns on a worthy cause…your spring wardrobe!

Aside from Banana Republic, they are all contemporary clothing boutiques who carry top brands like Sevens, Juicy, William Rast, Hanky Panky, J Brand, Botkier and more.

You can also access this list via my Shopping Codes page which gets updated several times per week.
