Celebrity Style: Olivia Palermo
Hey Everyone,
Sorry for the complete lack of blogging recently. I've had a very hectic couple of weeks with overtime at work, then my boyfriends parents came over to Oz to see us! So we have been gallivanting around the Gold Coast and Brisbane showing them anything and everything. We all had a lovely time but boy was i glad to have a lie in when they left after getting up early everyday, especially when I'm not a morning person!
So, as promised for this piece, (if you guessed right from my Whitney Port post) is Olivia Palermo's style! She has to be one of the best dressed celebs out there and i think a lot of you would agree! It comes across so effortless and classic and looking at some of the images below her style can be quite easy to emulate. The main colour palette here revolves around neutrals and black which are so easy to team with colours and works for every season. Orange seems to be a favourite and with her olive skin it works amazingly.
Having a few key staples in our wardrobe like the ones below will give us the stylish, timeless look that Olivia so easily conveys plus you don't have to worry about them going out of fashion!
The classic mac with a twist! I adore the leather sleeves and they are so on trend.
(Miss Selfridge £75, here)
Again another mac but more of a classic staple.
(Mango £70, here)
A splash of colour to liven up an outfit. Electric blue, turquoise or yellow would work as well
(Miss Selfridge £39, here)
A cream blazer that could be worn to the office or for a nice out. Use a belt like Olivia to create some shaping for an evening look.
(Topshop £48, here)
A wardrobe staple that can be worn with many things. Wear under a cute jumper for a pretty look or tuck into some leather trousers/ shorts for a more sexy look.
(River Island £25, here)
Similar to the one Olivia wore on the first row of pictures. Wear with black leggings or tucked into the skirt below for a smarter look. I have one nearly exactly the same from Miss Selfridge and its one of my favourite items, its so easy to wear and instantly looks smart.
(H&M, £10, here)
I am loving the leather trend that is still (thankfully) around. Again perfect for work or for the evening or dress down with a baggy tshirt tucked in and converses
(New Look £17.99, here)
Another leather must have. As you can see Olivia is a big fan and these are a great alternative to jeans.
(River Island £35, here)
This can be worn over the blouse or with the leather items like Olivia does or just use it a a cosy jumper with leggings on a winters day.
(Boohoo £20, here)
A dash of colour every so often for a youthful look. I love the pattern and they would look great with the cream Topshop blazer above, plus a total bargain of £15!
