Olivia Palermo Summed Up 3 Major Spring Trends In One Single Look
Hello my dearest readers,
If you've been reading this blog for a while now, it should be no secret to you that I adore anything Olivia Palermo. I'm not one of these people who idolizes celebrities for their way of dressing, I can draw some inspiration but usually that's it. However no one's looks are as compelling as Olivia's. She's truly a modern style icon. In fact she's just that. She's simply famous for having awesome style. It might not be much of an achievement for some, but I'm personally grateful for the constant outfit inspiration she provides me with.
What I love most about Olivia is that you can always rely on her to find out about the trends of the moment. Just a quick search on Pinterest - and there you have it, all the hottest looks for the upcoming season.
Now that the Holiday season is long gone, I can only crave one thing - spring and summer (okay that's technically two things). Sunny meadows, long walks in the country, endless beaches, evening breezes and ice cream. Just like in that Passenger song: "only miss the sun when it starts to snow".
It's that time of the year then, that I do most of my spring wishlist planning. And the things on top of my list have OP's seal of approval:

Let me break it down for you:

Sweater Weather Wardrobe: The Must-Haves + 2015 Goals!
Happy Sunday everyone and Happy (late) New Year!
.jpg)
I hope the new year has been treating you kind so far. I hope you're carrying your 2015 resolutions through . I'm trying to at least. But more on that later.
The temperatures have been dropping drastically during the past couple of weeks. We're really not used to this kind of cold here, so taking all measures necessary against this tough weather is not an easy task. Especially when it comes to dressing cute.
Despite what you've been told you actually can dress nice and chic while feeling warm and cozy.

Steal Her Style: Olivia Palermo
Hello lovelies,
Are you excited for New Year's Eve yet?
It took me forever to figure out my NYE plans and they're finally all set. That night tends to be quite stressful. You feel like you have to go somewhere, you have to have fun. Word of advice: don't give in to the pressure. If you don't feel like doing anything save yourself from the crazy traffic and crammed clubs and bars and stay at home. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that. I know because I was literally ready to give up making all these plans, because it was just so stressful. But I somehow managed to arrange something for that night.
In case you're still wondering what to wear on the big night I have a couple of posts dedicated to that:
The New Party Makeup
Celebrity-inspired Partywear
Festive Casual Looks
But now on to something entirely different: this post has some serious dose of Olivia Palermo inspiration (if you didn't figure it out already lol). If you've followed this blog for some time now you might have noticed a have a slight obsession with Olivia Palermo and her style. I mean who can deny that, that woman is perfection. She goes from modern glamorous to boho chic in no time and she always manages to look polished wherever she goes. That is my motto: look polished no matter what you wear. Whether it is a simple tee, shorts and ballet flats or an LBD and stilettos make sure your outfit comes together and looks sophisticated and elegant.
I broke down for you some of her killer looks and recreated them using more affordable items.

November Of Style: A Series of OOTDs
Hello my festive readers,
How are you doing? I hope you enjoyed my last Holiday Makeup post, because I really loved writing it. Today's post is not gonna feature a lot of written content, just a few of my favorite looks that I wore during November. Back in August I decided to do these types of posts every once in a while because it's more interesting to feature a bunch of looks in one go, rather than dedicate a whole post to one outfit.

Trend breakdown: Mixed Prints
As I was looking through random Olivia Palermo outfits on pinterest (check out my pinterest account here) trying to break down what on earth this woman does to achieve this level of put-together-ness in such an effortless way, I noticed that she's the QUEEN of mixed prints. And then it occured to me that the most unique outfits are the ones that comprise of the most unlikely combos.
At first this trend kinda scared me and I was hesitant to go for it as I thought that you need to acquire some insane styling skills to get it right. But as it turns out, it's not rocket science. People can tell you a hundred different rules about styling and mixing and matching but to be honest success lies in experimentation. No one ever became a trendsetter by following the rules. Trendsetting is about setting the trend, right?
So instead of a do-this-not-that type of post, I'm just going to demonstrate a few different ways you can wear this trend but remember: just be creative - when it comes to it, no rules really apply! Go with your gut.
My favorite way to wear this trend is by staying within the same palette. You pick out an item - either top or bottom piece - and see what other printed item you can pair it with that includes similar colors. Does that make sense? The blue palette is one of my favorites: perfect for summer, flattering on most skin tones and hard to go wrong with because the colors are wearable (let's say an outfit based on green mixed prints could go bananas quite easily - but hey don't let that dissuade you from trying it anyway!).

The Ultimate Guide To Celebrity Style
How many times have you skimmed through magazine pages and scoured the web in order to unlock the secrets to celeb-like fashion sense? I've always been infatuated with celebrities and their sense of style, whether that is innate or the product of a stylist's work. I used to follow various "get the celebrity look" websites like a maniac and I was always out to see what my favorite style stars would wear next. I still love to watch shows like Fashion Police and I'm the first to check out red carpet shots in order to spot the 'hits and misses'.
However, over the years, I learned, not how to copy their style, but how to draw inspiration from it only to incorporate it gracefully into my own personal sense of style. Just because I like a certain way of dressing on someone doesn't mean it'd look good on me. I also came to the realization that a lot of the things that celebrities wear are not practical because they're not your 9 to 5 kind of apparel. Celebs often wear things because they will be seen and photographed, because they wanna advertise something and because they need to uphold a certain status. Everyone knows it's highly unrealistic to walk around while shopping in 5 inch heels but celebrities do it all the time because it's their job to look uncommon and unattainable.
Younger stars though do tend to look a lot more approachable style-wise because usually that's the kind of profile they want to promote: the down-to-earth girl-next-door that teens can relate to. Their managers and stylists want them to wear things that the everyday gal can afford and wear without hesitation.
It's not rocket science really: just like normal people, celebrities too fall into style categories but that doesn't mean they're not allowed to deviate and explore different styles every now and then. But their flamboyant personalities, (sometimes) bright talent and of course, the teams of image experts that surround them make everything they put on seem more fab. Let's take a few notes.
(note that most of the pictures are candid streetstyle photos for the sake of making this post more relatable, because there wouldn't be much of a point in discussing about red carpet gowns that obviously most of us cannot wear)
THE VINTAGE CUTIE-PIES
STYLE BREAKDOWN: KEY PIECES
(click on the arrows on the sides to see more)
These gals look like they've escaped from a pin-up poster but at the same time don't look that unworldly kind of perfect. They're fun and even quirky sometimes in their comfy ballerina flats and easy breezy floral dresses. They make sure they don't miss out on the fun, they love color, patterns and all things sweet: bows, polka-dots, cats, floral prints, pearls, curls. They will always stay loyal to their personal sense of style and hesitate to try the more fashion-forward trends. They will also hold on to red lipstick religiously.
THE GLAMS
STYLE BREAKDOWN: KEY PIECES
Those glam girls are the absolute Hollywood starlets. They love everything that shines, lush fabrics, extravaganza, large shades, heavy makeup, fake tanning. They really go for it. All of it. They don't hold back on the glitz and the glam. Their skin glows and their hair is long and shiny. They strut flawlessly in stilettos from day to night, often wearing big floppy hats, looking away from the paps and holding close their 2,000$ purse. They party hard and travel in their private jets while popping champagne bottles and Instagram all of it along the way.
THE ROCKERS
STYLE BREAKDOWN: KEY PIECES
These are the "don't give a f-" kind of girls. They don't have a care in the world. They do black a lot - like, a lot. They know how to wear the "I didn't even try" look right. They are rebellious and don't care about always looking put together and pretty. In fact most of the time they don't. They barely wear any makeup, usually go for pants and basically aim for comfort. Boots are absolutely necessary for this kind of look. They love bands' t-shirts, ripped denim, Ray-bans, leather, sneakers, backpacks, rings, awkward poses and also some more leather (did I mention leather?).
THE EDGIES
STYLE BREAKDOWN: KEY PIECES
These ones are fierce women that are set to push the boundaries. They are repelled by anything common and ordinary and crave excitement and challenges. They don't wanna be accused of being boring because they don't feel like it. They're gifted, bright people who wanna celebrate their originality. Or, sometimes they just wanna grab attention. They love colors, volume, unrealistically high heels, crazy patterns, cartoon-like shapes and drama. They also change their mind like a girl changes clothes (pun intended, yeah).
THE CLASSIES
STYLE BREAKDOWN: KEY PIECES
That's my favorite category and if I ever was a celebrity that's the one I'd probably fall into (hehe). These ladies are the absolute fashionistas. They are chic and always put together even if they wear skinny jeans with a simple sweater. They got elegance running in their veins. They're royalty even in their simplest outfit. When you ask them who their favorite designer is, they won't reply you with a predictable answer like "Gucci", they're probably gonna tell you something like Altuzarra or Jason Wu or Proenza Schouler. They're cool and hip and urban and they love New York, culture, gourmet food and travelling to unlikely destinations. They always wanna be in the know and they wanna live a fabulous lifestyle that consists of high quality and exceptional taste in everything they do.
THE LAID-BACK COOLS
STYLE BREAKDOWN: KEY PIECES
That's my second to favorite category. Girls like them are the California dream. They sport everything with ease and always look for comfort and style at the same time. They're modern and they just wanna have fun. They love the sunshine, denim shorts, scarves, boots and Isabel Marant. They're those cool LA girls that drive their convertibles down Santa Monica boulevard and live their lives either on the beach or shopping in Hollywood. Two things are for sure: they know how to have a good time and they look the part too.

Get the Look: Sarah Jessica Parker, Olivia Palermo and Serena Van Der Woodsen
I know I'm always all about "how we shouldn't copy other people's style", but some women are true inspiration to me and I really enjoy making these kind of sets on Polyvore so why not share it with you? These 3 style queens have a very distinct sense of style which I admire. Sarah Jessica Parker (Check out the SJP tribute post here:http://fashionistalooks.blogspot.com/2010/05/style-inspiration-sarah-jessica-parker.html) : Oh my god, what should I say? She and Carrie are so alike. She makes it hard to tell the one from the other! Olivia Palermo (Check out the Olivia tribute post here: http://fashionistalooks.blogspot.com/2010/04/style-inspiration-olivia-palermo.html) : I think her style is flawless, and what's most impressive, is that she has established her own style without any stylist's interference and last but not least, Serena Van Der Woodsen: Ok, I know the styling genius behind her is Eric Daman, but I should give her credit for her glorious body, which makes everything that she wears look good.

Style Inspiration: Olivia Palermo
The City's NYC socialite Olivia Palermo, has stole our heart with her wonderful effortless style. I know I'm huge fan, and I know that you are as well, or at least you'll be after reading this post. No, I'm not promoting her or anything, I'm just obsessed with her fashion sense. Besides, she works at one of the most established magazines in the fashion industry, it would be at least ironic if her sense of style wasn't decent!
Anyway, instead of reading my boring blah blah blah (like Ke$ha says :P) just form your own opinion on Olivia's style and leave your comments with your thoughts below!
XOXO
