The perpetually stylish star of Hart of Dixie, Rachel Bilson (or as I will always call her, Summer Roberts), is the covergirl for Nylon this month — and she shares a bit too much info in this super candid interview. If you ever wanted to know what was in Ms. Bilson’s purse, today is your lucky day!
Rachel was shockingly comfortable with sharing the arguably private contents of her bag with Nylon‘s readers. From the piece:
“I feel like Mary Poppins! Look at this, I have a bra in here!” She lifts out a teal bra and feigns disgust before stuffing it back in. Next she pulls out her birth control and takes her Saturday dose with a sip of milkshake. “The first week I get so nauseous so I have to take it with food… All right, let’s see what else is here: makeup remover, Advil, nail accessories… Oh! I have socks and a pen in here, too! My wallet, sunglasses, my call sheet, checkbook… I have some Mexican jumping beans! You never know when you may need them!”
She also talks about how she was a bossy child, especially when it came to clothes.
I always had to dress myself, which is very interesting when you’re two. My poor mom. There was this one dress, it was my favorite – it was really colorful and big and ridiculous. I wore it until it fell apart. I was a very bossy fashionista when I was three. I feel like if I ever have a daughter, there is going to be some sweet revenge placed on me because of how I was as a kid.”

So tell me Lovelies, have you seen Hart of Dixie? Will you be tuning in now to check it out?

I don’t think it’s TMI. I think it’s hilarious how forward she is, and I have a lot of random shit in my purse too.

I LOVE HER. i want to be her.

She’s cute and quirky. Okay, so she has a bra in her bag? Not TMI at all. Also, birthcontrol is not horrible either. I have all sorts of weird things in my purse, and would probably have even more if I hadn’t down graded to a smaller purse. I used to put all kinds of random stuff in there. Can’t blame her. lol She’s a normal girl, making good money in hollywood. Big whoop.

How is she TMI? She just sounds fun & normal. So she carries a lot of stuff in her handbag! So do I.

OMG birth control and a bra! shame on her for letting out the secret that we use those!

I found a baked potato in my purse once. True story. I don’t remember why it was in there…
guest
I think we’d get alone in real life…everyone calls me Mary Poppins too since I have so much random shit in my purse! She’s cool….nice.

@TropicalOceanSunset@xanga - ha. i found week old mozzarella that was intended to be a gift and i forgot. what a waste.

Not so much Too Much Information as Too Much Stuff. LOL, I just barely tolerate purses, only because pockets on my clothing are too small! I’m very attached to my Nook and my iPod, which means I need a bag… before those, though, I never carried one.

i’m going to agree with a few of the ladies above, i don’t think that that was TMI at all . i have a bunch of shit in my purse too . in my mind i want to be prepared for any and every situation . no wonder it’s so heavy -___- hahaha . i liked her before reading this, but if i didn’t this article would change my opinion about her – this makes her seem normal, like she’s one of my girlfriends .

I currently have a can of spray glue and a calendar in my bag. Having general crap with you is fine really, all the stuff listed seems fairly normal. Spray glue is taking it a step too far on the preparation front.

Top fashion icon? This is literally my first time ever seeing her or hearing of her.

OH MY GOD THE HORROR.

I have to say I’ve always hated her raccoon eyeliner, it’s so creepy!

@WaitingToShrug@xanga - Lol the only real reason I carry such a large purse is for my nook…otherwise besides my wallet, phone, keys…it’s empty.
guest
@TropicalOceanSunset@xanga - Thanks for making my week. :_

Regardless of whether or not anyone even gives a shit about what someone is carrying around in their possession (as long as it’s not dangerous). None of the contents which were disclosed, were even minutely gratuitous. How the hell this can even be a topic of conversation, let alone topic of writing about, confuses the fuck out of me.
Seriously, who the fuck gives a shit?
guest
i don’t think that was any close to TMI.
