Muse of the Moment: Olivia Palermo

New York socialite and part of reality TV The City, Olivia Palermo is coveted and highly regarded for her effortless chic style making her one of my favorite fashion muses. Her uncanny way of mixing vintage with couture with attainable & affordable pieces such as Steve Madden booties gives her looks such charm, interest and statement worthy notes.

Adorned in statement pieces from necklaces to bags to fur she effortlessly layers the right mix without looking as if she is too put together or trying to hard. Sleek straight hair, natural waves or a taut bun and always flawless make-up give her New York glamour with the charm of a California girl.

Take a cue:
