November is NYLON’s America Issue, with Rachel Bilson posing as our favorite national It Girl. The California native and Hart of Dixie star models in U.S. designers like Donna Karan and Marc Jacobs, and shows us the inside of her Toyota Prius (it’s packed with camping gear for a future expedition with her boyfriend, Hayden Christensen). Bilson also met with Ellen Carpenter at the new Chick-fil-A in Los Angeles to talk about her life since turning 30.
On her nighttime routine:
“I’m all about Netflix and ordering Teen Mom on iTunes. I go to bed at nine! I’m not as interested in going out and partying at night anymore; I’m more set in my ways. I know I sound like an 80-year-old.”
On what’s in her purse:
“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!”
Scans will be up soon.
