I have to be honest, Rachel Bilson totally tops my list of current style crushes! A regular in the front row of all the major fashion shows, designers are tripping over themselves to get their wares pictured on the fabulously stylish Bilson.

Only a fortnight ago Rachel was spotted at Milan Fashion Week attending the world preview of the new Roberto Cavalli ‘Diva’ Bag during the Spring 2011 runway show. Needless to say Rachel was spotted carrying the bag before the show (see pic above). Apart from obvious bag-envy, I totally adore Rachel’s cute, yet sophisticated look here, perfect for this time of year too. The multi-patterned dress (also Cavalli), black blazer and the aforementioned to-die-for ‘Diva’ bag paired with lace-up boots creates the ultimate city chic look.

This look can be recreated quite easily on the highstreet at a fraction of the cost. This graphic print dress by Rare at Topshop (€54) totally works the graphic print trend in subtle colours. I’ve paired it with a structured, waterfall style blazer from Esprit (€99.95 in Arnotts). The blazer also works in another of this seasons big colour trends – navy. The bag by River Island (€94) is quite lush with zip detail and hand strap. Admittedly it’s going to be hard to replicate the ‘Diva’ but given the price comparison I think River Island are pretty much on the money with this bag. To toughen up and finish off the look these leather multi-buckle clog ankle boots from Asos Addict (£48 currently on sale) are just the ticket.
