Olivia Palermo's Zara Skirt | NYC

There are a few people out there that can play with fashion and have it work almost 100% of the time, it's rare though, but Olivia Palermo is that person and she can wear a simple item and turn it into 'The Olivia Affect'. 

Spotted out in New York City (July 18) Olivia did something that I never had the guts to do before: using a skirt as a dress. Olivia opted for a Zara midi skirt styled with a bright sleeveless blazer, Aquazurra sandals, oversize tote and Westward Leaning shades. 

I am now going to my closet to experiment.

OLIVIA PALERMO'S LOUIS VUITTON TUNIC

OLIVIA PALERMO TOOK TO THE RED CARPET ON TUESDAY AT THE LOUIS VUITTON MAISON OPENING IN MUNICH, GERMANY.

OPTING FOR A HIGHLY EMBELLISHED TUNIC FEATURING DROPPED WAIST FROM LOUIS VUITTON'S RESORT 2013 COLLECTION.

THE PRINT GIVES ME A RETRO VIBE AND THE PETER PAN COLLAR IS ALWAYS A CUTE ADDITION. I ADORE THE POCKETS. 

I ADMIRE A GIRL THAT CAN MIX COUTURE WITH HIGH STREET BRANDS AS SHE DOES HERE WITH HER ZARA HEELS.

SIMPLE STYLING AND A POP OF COLOUR ON HER MANI AND PEDI MAKE THIS A WINNER.

HAYLEY WILLIAMS IN TOPSHOP AND ZARA

LEAD SINGER OF PARAMORE HAYLEY WILLIAMS WAS A BREATH OF FRESH AIR ON THE 2013 MTV MOVIE AWARDS RED CARPET LAST SUNDAY EVENING.

OPTING FOR A CUTE STRIPED CROP TOP FROM TOPSHOP AND EDGY CUTOUT BLACK JUMPSUIT FROM ZARA. 

I AM IN LOVE WITH HER LOOK. HER TWO TONE PINK AND ORANGE HAIR COLOUR AND MAKE UP BY M.A.C ARE DELICIOUS AND YOUTHFUL.

HER ALMOST COMBAT STYLE LEATHER BUCKLE BOOTS WITH A GLIMPSE OF HER BRIGHT ORANGE SOCKS ARE ROCKIN'.

SHE GIVES ME A GWEN STEFANI VIBE.

TOTALLY FUN.
