When is Rachel Bilson not cute? I mean really. She is all petite and smiley and loves wearing Chanel. I want to pick her up and put her in my front pocket, she is that adorable. One of her constant go-to brands is Chanel and this time she is seen sporting a Chanel bag along with Chanel Coco Cocoon Travel Bag.

Can I also tell you all that when I see Rachel Bilson the first thing that pops into my head is Summer Roberts. I was OC obsessed and loved Summer’s character. I imagine Rachel Bilson to be precisely like Summer in real life. Her love of fashion stands out and she is always fun. Oh, she also picks the underdog (Seth Cohen), which made me love her more.

I have a secret that is no longer a secret. I told Amanda I HAD.TO.COVER. the cast of Pretty Little Liars at the 2010 Teen Choice Awards. I forbade her from taking the images. Too bad I am not posting it until today, a month and a half after the event. But here is what I really must share with you all: I am kind-of-sort-of-totally obsessed with the show Pretty Little Liars.

At first I thought the show was going to be lame. I’m a mid-twenty something that probably should be embarrassed about watching ABC Family. But it is addicting. There is teen drama, romance, back stabbing, and lies. It is all about the lies. I was sucked in and am awaiting the return of the show in early 2011.

The cast has a group of good looking girls and a fairly handsome teacher (who takes part in a student-teacher relationship that goes beyond tutoring). At the Teen Choice Awards the stand out best dressed of the group was Lucy Hale, who plays Aria. She looked young and sexy in a Paule Ka sequin-embellished chiffon and va-va-voom Ruthie Davis Booties. Speaking of which, Ruthie Davis is becoming the new “it” shoe brand, stay tuned for more!

Are any of you Pretty Little Liars fans as well?

Moving right along with other movies/shows that I watch that should be embarrassing but I am not embarrassed of is Wild Child starring Emma Roberts. I caught it on TV the other night and kind of loved it. And it was totally tween-y but I totally watched the entire thing from start to finish, out of choice.

Emma Roberts attended the Teen Choice Awards in a great green Brian Reyes Spring 2010 dress which she paired with burgundy Brian Atwood Terry booties. She finished off her look with an Amrapali ring and a Jimmy Choo Lisa Clutch. I love everything form the ankles up. I just don’t like the booties with this dress, it looks bulky and dark and cumbersome.

Did I ever tell you all my love of Step Up, the original movie? I have a penchant for predictable movies that take close to zero brain activity to process. Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan met while filming Step Up and are now married. I adored them in that movie, like a lot. And then I fell back in love with Channing in Letters to John. And none of this has to do with these images, but I just wanted to share my love of this couple.

Channing Tatum hit the red carpet with wife Jenna Dewan at the 2010 Teen Choice Awards looking casual and cool. Channing took home the award for Choice Movie Actor for his role in G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra. Jenna wore an Alice + Olivia Box Pleat Leather Skirt which she paired with a BCBG top and Brian Atwood black suede Marlo Pumps.

I think I can sum up this post with the important information: Channing looks hot.

There are certain occasions when it is ok to try to match your date/boyfriend/husband. Going to lunch at a burger joint is not one of them, especially when it involves your boyfriend wearing leopard printed loafers. But leave that to Scott Disick, who is always trying to put on a scene to garner attention. I know it is his ‘thing’ to dress like he is heading to a high society event at every moment of his life, but he always looks like he is trying far too hard.

Last week, Kourtney Kardashian and Scott went to lunch and matched in leopard print with her Rebecca Minkoff shorts and his YSL loafers. I actually like Kourtney’s outfit for a laid-back summer look. She was also wearing a Chaser tank, Joie blazer, Givenchy flats, Balenciaga sunglasses, and lastly a Balenciaga bag.

We have been seeing a lot of Ashley Greene lately. And that does not bother me at all. I kind of adore her and her outfits. This past weekend Ashley was one of many celebs who took part in Ovarian Cancer Research Fund’s 12th annual Super Saturday. Ashley Greene wore a purely perfect Pure DKNY white dress.

One of the hosts of the event was Donna Karan, so it was fitting to see Ashley wearing DKNY. The Pure line is by far my favorite from DKNY. Everything is simple and casual, yet elegant and chic. This dress is the epitome of perfect for summer.

We don’t cover Angela or Vanessa Simmons much on BagThatStyle (in fact only once before), but I pulled these pictures a long time ago because of the bag. If you read PurseBlog too you will know I own the Louis Vuitton Monogram Cheche Bohemian myself.

I adore this bag. It pairs a downtown vibe with a cool feel. As for Angela Simmons, I LOVE watching Run’s House with Shannon for hours at a time. That immediately amps up Angela’s cool factor, because her dad is seriously hilarious. So Angela, you may not be a frequenter of BagThatStyle, but for your Louis Vuitton bag choice and your super funny family, I give you two thumbs up!

In Paris for Haute Couture week, a group of celebrities hit the Christian Dior show. It is easy to understand why Jessica Alba, Blake Lively, and Anna Wintour were there but I mostly am wondering about Jared Leto’s presence. When I think of Jared Leto I think of My So Called Life. Oh, and how when I watched that show I dreamed of being the girlfriend of Jordan Catalano. Yep, I was one of those girls. But now he went off and did funky things with his hair and is posing in pictures with Jessica Alba at Dior Haute Couture. Does anyone else find that odd?

Moving on to the fashion, Jessica Alba wore Christian Dior (of course) and carried a Christian Dior clutch. She also wore a House of Lavande Victorian silver cuff. Jess was my best dressed of this group, I really love the young and fresh spring look she had going on.

I’ll admit it, I have watched every episode of the Bachelorette this season with Ali Fedotowsky… and enjoyed it. I have never been a follower of ABC’s hit series, but I got sucked in this year. And as much as I can not understand why a boat load of people would go on a show to fight for the heart of one person and believe it might actually work out, I keep watching.

I enjoy Ali Fedotowsky’s style because it falls in line with my personal style, very laid back. Recently she was spotted out in LA wearing a blue top, lack shorts, black pumps, and a large black bag. I don’t know who makes her bag though, and I was hoping to see her wearing her good luck charm, her Alex Woo Elephant necklace, but she is not. And to be honest, as much as on the show I usually like her style, this look is not cutting it for me.

Tonight Ali makes her decision, she will choose either Chris and Roberto. Who do you want her to see Ali with?

For all her Twilight: Eclipse photocalls and premieres the world over, Ashley Greene’s been consistently pulling out awesome and unexpected looks (unlike her co-star, Kristen Stewart, who only recent began to step out of her LBD box). For Ashley, the Madrid premiere of Twilight in late June was no different. With her Donna Karan Resort 2011 dress she made a nod towards the traditionally lace-covered Spanish flamenco outfits, and accented it with Bordeaux suede Brian Atwood ‘Cristal’ pumps with gold ribbons at the heel, and a small Judith Leiber gold clutch.

While it’s not my favorite of her premiere outfits, I do love her little messy plait! Not to mention that the color of her hair is so perfect against the black lace that it practically glitters. Thank goodness that she wears a wig when playing Alice!
