Get the look: Baby, it’s cold outside

Let’s face it, we’re big, big fans of Rachel Bilson and it’s not just her bubbly personality and endearing characters in The OC and Hart of Dixie that we love her for, we’ve developed a style crush on her too.

She is undoubtedly the epitome of chic. So without further ado, here’s a little ode to Bilson’s super-dooper wardrobe and how you can get this look!

Hair and make-up



Minimal effort is required in the hair and make-up department. A neat casual hair up-do and light make-up is all you need. Nude glossy lips using Nars lip gloss, thick mascara and a nicely blended eye pencil are your essentials to achieve this look of the day.

Outfit



How to play it cool while keeping warm? Do it the way Bilson does it. Get hold of a classy black blazer from Mango, and pair it up with a beige cable-knit sweater from Crossroads. The combination along with sleek bottle-green skinny jeans is going to give you the perfectly chic look you’ve been dying to work this winter. The blazer will cost you around Rs9,000, that may seem a little pricey, but this timeless piece is without a shadow of doubt, worth the investment. The price of the sweater will be about Rs2,200 and you can get yourself a pair of those trendy jeans from Zainab Market for as low as Rs1,000. Walk in any party in this outfit and a dose of attitude, and you are certainly catching the mood of the moment.

Accessories & shoes



Grab this season’s most covetable shoes from Pedro for around Rs4,500. These beige suede stilettos have the power to uplift an entire wardrobe. For a bolder, crazier look carry a big red tote bag which you can easily purchase from Accessorise and bling yourself up with golden trinkets; round studs and a triangular necklace will be the deal breaker giving you a completely glammed up, top-to-toe tantalising look.
