Summer's Shoes

Rachel Bilson Will Help You Step Out In Style

Actress Rachel Bilson, known more these days for her fabulous style than her acting career, is teaming up with Steve Madden, celebrity stylist Nicole Chavez and social commerce gurus BeachMint to develop an exclusive online shoe brand called ShoeMint.

The Hart of Dixie star has donned a designer cap in the past, collaborating with both DKNY jeans and Macy's for a homewear line called Edie Rose, but ShoeMint will be her first foray into the world of footwear.

"As a designer, I'm always exploring new mediums and footwear is a category I've always been very passionate about, especially since I'm only a size 5," says the actress.

Right now Paris Hilton, a size 11, is poking a voodoo doll of Bilson and her petite feet.

Chavez has helped Bilson cultivate her iconic style over the years, so it's a natural fit that the stylist would hop on board the actress's shoe adventure.

"Rachel and I are obsessed with shoes," says Chavez, who also styles stars like Kristen Bell and Nikki Reed. "ShoeMint is an exciting oppportunity for us to create a collection we love for every woman's style."

Bilson, who was recently featured on the cover of Women's Health, spilled about her favorite pair of shoes, which are designed by Charlotte Olympia. 

"I love her colors and textures," she tells the magazine. "I have these emerald green ones and a cool yellow raffia pair by her. They're pumps, but I love wedges too..."

Look for Bilson's debut ShoeMint line to be unveiled with a preview this holiday season.
