Modern Style Icon: Olivia Palermo

Olivia Palermo has really sky rocketed to Style Icon status over the past couple of years in spite of her negative portrayal on MTV’s “The City”. But after all, none of us can really know how real reality TV actually is. There is no denying that Olivia is a force to be reckoned with when it comes to style. She veers towards the classic, but always adds a special, unique touch, making each ensemble memorable. Olivia can accessorize like it’s her job—an in a sense, I suppose it has become her job.

Olivia is at every important fashion event, she has the best in fashion at her fingertips and she possesses an uncanny knack for mixing high and low. Whether she’s sitting in the front row at a fashion show or spending a weekend with Mr. Valentino, Gianncarlo Giammetti, and her handsome and equally stylish boyfriend, Johannes Huebel, Olivia always looks amazing. Olivia always manages to look polished, glamorous, and chic, yet she maintains an effortless air about herself, at least when it comes to her fabulous wardrobe. Her style is perfection and she is truly a “Modern Style Icon”.

{The Dashing Duo in Black}

{Olivia was super stylish at the Spring/Summer 2013 shows earlier this year.}

{I still love this look from a few seasons ago. She really nailed the styling.}

{You’ll notice that overall, Olivia sticks to classic silhouettes that she puts her own spin on through her jewelry, shoes, and bags. My wardrobe isn’t a tenth as good as hers, but I stick to the same philosophy of sticking with some basic pieces, such as this shirt dress and adding personal style through accessories.}

{A Relaxed Summer Look}

{When you pair two leopard print pieces, you run the risk of looking like Snooki, but Olivia definitely gets it right.}

{Effortless Summer Style}

{Jeans, Heels, a Basic Sweater, Fabulous Jacket, paired with Great Accessories—Perfect!}

{Easy and Chic}

{I adore this look! Olivia knows what she likes and she actually gets a lot of mileage out of her favorite pieces, like these blue suede Manolo Blahnik pumps, which is refreshing!}
