Trocadero Shops Your Closet: Get Rachel's Look

I've had Rachel Bilson and her amazing style on my mind since I did the summer scarves post a few days ago. When I worked at Trocadero on Sunday, I saw that we'd received a selection of gorgeous tie-dyed scarves since my last shift. (Read more about them in this week's Trocadero Tidbits newsletter, which comes out mid-week.) In the meantime, I found a photo of Rachel sporting a version of the scarves in the store now, created by TDM Designs. It's on the right.

Her look is perfect for the weather we've been having as of late, and its one that's easy to recreate. Most of us probably have a rocker tee, a pair of skinny jeans, a pair of flats with fun detail and a colorful bag in our closets already. In this case, it's all about how you put simple pieces together for a casual but pulled together finish.

I turned to Polyvore to help me with some options to get Rachel's look. The three vintage rock and roll t-shirts are something you can buy at a chain store, like Forever 21, or scour your local thrift or vintage shop for the real thing. Ramones shirts, in my opinion, are always cool. The three scarves are very close to ones Trocadero's got in store now: solid scarves in midori green and cream, and dark blue tie-dye like Rachel's. All the jeans featured below are by J. Brand; they're sort of the quintessential skinny jeans, no? Going with black or indigo for this look is more flattering, though I can also see it working with this summer's white jeans, too. Finally, I chose three casual chic accessories from Trocadero's stock: a Kara by Kara Ross anaconda bracelet in a gorgeous magenta, the Botkier "James" tote in a vibrant purple and our newest Marc by Marc Jacobs striped Miss Marc flats.

Trocadero Shops Your Closet: The LBD edition

Everyone, no matter what her style, has a "LBD," or a Little Black Dress, hiding somewhere in the depths of her closet. In this edition of Trocadero Shops Your Closet, we tackle this simple item that can go from day to night, work to cocktails, simple to simply fantastic with the addition of just a few accessories.

First, we'll tackle the day look, which offers options for the weekend or workday. We chose an eye-catching bag, the Botkier "James" Tote, in a vibrant purple - it's roomy enough to carry all your datyime essentials but does it while looking great. For the weekend look, we paired the dress with Marc by Marc Jacobs' whimsical Miss Marc Flat in neutral grey and white stripes. If you're headed to the office, these Sigerson Morrison patent open toe kitten heels are workday ready but still show off a spring pedicure. Finish your look with a fun but professional Pluma feather headband and a spritz or three of Bond No. 9's Scent of Peace.

In our night look, we went sexy. Either shoe here - the Giuseppe Zanotti sandal bootie in blush and black patent or the Brian Atwood "Lidia Self" sandal in soft black suede - will be an eye-catcher during your date night or girls night. The bag and jewelry work with either look: a zap of electric blue comes courtesy of Anya Hindmarch and her pleated patent "Ivo" clutch. Kara by Kara Ross finishes off this after-dark look with one of her signature two-petal flower rings, which are a modern take on the classic knuckle-duster style.

Of course, you can find all of these accessories at Trocadero, in Omaha's Old Market, where any of the stylistas will be more than happy to help you put together a look for your spring wardrobe.
