Fashion Formula: Olivia Palermo's Mix-and-Match Style

Posted by babu 10:39pm GMT

Having a fashion formula doesn't mean being so predictable. Olivia Palermo may be the most-hated girl on MTV's "The City," but she's also the one with the wardrobe (and a unique sense of style) that everyone loves.

While the NYC socialite-model-publicist is never one to be caught in the same look twice, she does have a few fashion rules you can adopt to achieve her eclectic polished style:

1) Stock your closet full of classic foundations: the perfect white tee, versatile jackets, and lots of neutral grays.

2) An effortless mix of neutral shades (blacks, grays, whites and beiges) with a few touches of color from accessories (or even nails) looks great on everyone.

3) Forget about trying to match shoes and bags; that's so "Mad Men."

4) Mix and match accessories to transform a basic look into something unique and personal.

Try Tights: Wardobe Update for Under $20

Posted by babu 11:05am GMT

While most of us can't afford the $2500
Christopher Kane dress reality star Whitney Port
(of MTV's "The City") wore to the recent Video Music Awards, we definitely can afford a pair of bright tights for fall that can transform any LBDs in the closet right now.

I love how how designer site
MyTheresa.com paired bright red tights with a Kane dress similar to Port's to completely change the feel of the daring style into something much more wearable for weekends, holiday parties, or even for the office, for those who work in a creative field.

And, make sure to scour discount stores like Marshall's and TJ Maxx for lots of tights, often at 1/2 off.

Rule Breakers or Trend Makers: A Shorts Story for Fall

Posted by babu 11:39pm GMT

While the rest of us on the East Coast start to bundle up in layers, LA celebs are still rocking shorts for the red carpet.
Whitney Port and Rachel Bilson work the high-low style by pairing luxe designer bags with low key cool shorts at fashion events in LA. And actresses Rose Byrne and Gwyneth Paltrow (already a trendsetter back in February of this year) added a bit of shine to their hot pants.
