Actress Rachel Bilson, who makes a long-awaited return to television this fall in the CW series Hart of Dixie, graces the cover of the October issue of Women’s Health (on newsstands Sept 13) and opens up about her obsession with shoes, major life milestones, and her stay-healthy outlook: “You should enjoy food and enjoy life. Healthiness stems from being happy.”
Rachel turns 30! “Everyone tells you that things are going to change, so I’m waiting for something to happen. Like I’m going to grow another boob! But it is a milestone. You’re coming into your own.”
How she pulls off a vintage look: “I don’t like things that look too pulled together. I like the casual touch on a dressy outfit. A vintage dress with designer shoes is always a safe bet. Or a vintage blouse with a pair of jean shorts.”
She should hire a tailor: “I cut a vintage dress recently, and it was not a good result. I cut it way too short. We had a funeral—there were tears.”
A passion for the movie Dirty Dancing: “I watched it every day as a girl. I’d put on underwear and tights, tie my shirt up, and dance!”
Where she could use some work: “I’m not the kind to go to the gym.”
Rachel on being healthy: “You should enjoy food and enjoy life. Healthiness stems from being happy.”
