Celebrity Inspiration: Rachel Bilson {New Year's Eve Style}

Remember when I popped in a few weeks ago to say hello and share some of my ideas for the future of The Daily Dani? Well, here I am, trying one of my ideas out! I have always been extremely interested in celebrity fashion - thanks, Us Weekly and Fashion Police - and I'm so often inspired by the red carpet and street style of my favorite famous fashionistas! With New Year's Eve just around the corner, I'm taking some inspiration from one of my favorites to guide my ensemble and celebrate in style!

Rachel Bilson has been one of my style role models since her days on The OC! She has perfected that mix of Southern California laid-back cool and fast-paced city chic! Sort of surfer girl turned urban stylecaster, if you will.

One staple in Rachel Bilson's wardrobe? Perfectly-tailored blazers! Whether they're classic black, a fun pop of orange, or a muted blush, she always knows the perfect blazer to pair with any of her feminine dresses! For New Year's Eve, a bright pop of color (like this powerful cobalt blue) paired with a drapey yet waist-accentuating dress is the perfect combination! Throw in a touch of sparkle on your feet and around your neck, and a sunkissed shade on your lips, and you are ready to go!

Bilson also has quite the eye for unique prints and figure-flattering silhouettes! Never one for over-the-top jewelry and accessories, she lets her funky prints, body-conscious tailoring, and legs do most of the talking! By anchoring a fun print with a classic black bootie and simple black purse, an out-of-the-box printed mini dress can be the real stand-out as the ball drops!

Not feeling like wearing a traditional dress this New Year's Eve? Take a note from Bilson and pair together some stand-out separates! More fun prints in a luxe fabric + a body-con bandage skirt are the perfect combination for sipping cocktails and getting your groove on! Add a classic nude shoe and a girly pink lip, and you are good to go! Cheers!
