The Ones We Love

Obsessed with each of these outfits for different reasons. Love how each of the girls personal style comes through in their outfits.  Also Miroslava started a blog with outfit posts.  Basically the most amazing thing we have ever seen...check it out here.

It Girl of the Month: Olivia Palermo (December Edition)

We have tried to resist loving Olivia Palermo for quite some time.  We didn't like her attitude on the city and we hated the way she acted so entitled.  Well, we realize that reality tv does not always paint people in the best light and since the show she has continued to impress us with her outfits, her demeanor and her ascent into the fashion world.

Who she is: Olivia was born in February of 1986.  Her father is a real estate developer from Italy and her mother is an interior designer.  She spent her childhood between New York City and Greenwich Connecticut.  She grew up very involved in charity events in NY and was involved in a scandal regarding a letter she sent to NY socialites, begging for acceptance.  (These are the things that held us back from liking her....but we do think she has come far from these incidents.)

What she does: She has obviously dabbled in acting (the hills) and is also a model.  She was in the recent Mango ad campaign beside her boyfriend model, Johannes Huebl, who she has been dating since 2008.  She just announced in the January Issue of Vogue Spain that she will be launching her own clothing line and creating a reality show around it.

Why we love her: For starters we are a bit jealous of her.  She obviously has an insane closet, amazing genes and an extremely good looking boyfriend.  But the main reason that we have made her our it girl is because of her style.  Olivia always looks put together.  Every single outfit that she wears seems to be thought out and well styled.  We usually dislike outfits that aren't effortless, but with Olivia we really appreciate that she takes time to put together her clothing choices.

On her style: Her closet must contain the following: Birkin bags, Every top seller from Topshop,  the best gems that Zara has to offer, accessories from all over the world and couture gowns made by some of her designer bffs.  Olivia (as with most of our it girls) mixes high and low fashion extremely well.  She wears a ton of Zara and Topshop, mixed with ready-to-wear pieces.  She throws in amazing finds that she has grabbed on her travels throughout the world.  She did a piece for British Vogue on her outfits for 30 days and it helps inspire us in our wardrobe!  You can see that piece here.  Over all we are excited to see her continue to grow and her outfit choices along the way.

Olivia Palermo + Mango

Not only is it pretty cool that Olivia got this campaign...but, she got to include her boyfriend in the shoot! Not sure if we are jealous that they are in the shoot together, or that he is just so freaking HOT.

Anywho, putting the jealousy aside, we are very proud of Ms. Palermo.  She seems to be coming a long way since the City and she looks fabulous.

What do you guys think of these photos?  We think they exude sophistication, class, and a picture of a luxurious life that we are currently drooling over.  Our only criticism, is that Olivia does look insanely skinny.

Love, love, love the leather shorts and darker hair.

30 days of Olivia Palermo

We are a bit late on this one, so apologies.  Vogue UK chronicled Olivia's outfit choices for 30 days and we were pleasantly surprised by some of her garment choices.  She seems to be the genius at mixing high and low pieces.  We loved seeing the gems she found at zara, topshop, club monaco and even the Ann Taylor jewelry.  She also seriously rocked the BCBG dress on the left.  This piece makes us like her a lot more....

Also, So jealous of the Mulberry Alexa bag and the Prabal Gurung dress at the end...

Check out the whole piece here.

Third Times a Charm: Olivia Polermo on The Sartorialist

We have to admitt that we usually dismiss the cast members of The City and The Hills as wanna be actresses rather than up-and-coming fashion designers/tastemakers/stylish human beings.  We wish that we could praise these girls for some kind of contribution to the fashion industry, but we typically think that the shows give the fashion industry a bad name, while also painting an unrealistic picture of working in fashion.

However, today we are biting our tongues.  Olivia Palermo has proven to be a bit of a tough girl throughout this season of The City, but let's be honest, we really don't care about the plot.  She continues to assert herself as someone who won't be pushed around, and she does so in some of the best put together outfits we have ever seen.

It looks like Scott Schuman thinks so too.  Today we saw that Olivia was posted for the 3rd time on The Sartorialist.  She was posted for the first time on the blog about 5 seasons back, followed by the two pictures above.  The one on the left is from the fall shows in February 2009 and the right one was posted on Saturday and was taken during the London shows.

We have to hand it to her, she has impeccable style.  We take back our dismissive attitude about her, and we will now start following her clothing choices more carefully.

Also, don't forget Scott Schuman from the Sartorialist will be doing a book signing on Thursday Oct 22 at the Beverly Center in LA from 8-10
