Olivia Palermo

In Olivia Palermo’s Closet – Paige Denim, LeiVanKash Jewellery & L.A.M.B.

by Irina on April 12, 2012

Not that it’s ever been much of a secret, but today I’ll come out of the closet and out myself as a big Olivia Palermo fangirl. There, I said it! Now I usually don’t fall for socialite fashion, but Olivia is way too talented in the style department to be ignored due to her status of being-famous-for-being-famous. Not quite sure if she actually does anything productive besides attending what seems an endless string of fashion events and cocktail parties and, of course, strutting the streets of New York looking ultra busy while talking into her cell phone, but she sure looks impeccably styled doing so, wouldn’t you agree? My latest Olivia obsession is this classic yet fashion foward outfit which she wore a few weeks ago – love it head-to-toe! Especially the printed Paige Denim skinny jeans and the gorgeous flower ring by LeiVanKash. It might be the Olivia factor that makes it oh-so extra desirable, but I’d love to wear each and every single item she wore here and try my best Olivia impersonation.

Real vs. Steal – Charlotte Olympia Paloma Fan-pleat Satin Pumps

by Juliana on January 23, 2012

Can you imagine a more beautiful pair of classic platform pumps than these by Charlotte Olympia? They are elegant, feminine, and unmistakably special. A pair like this could go with almost everything in our closets, but buying them would leave us with little left over in our wardrobe budget. Want to get a pair just like them for about a fourth of the price? Check out the amazing steal below.

ZiGiny “Kerry” Satin Platform Pumps

Just as gorgeous and classic as their muse, these ZiGiny pumps are the signature shoes of a confident, stylish, and very intelligent girl, especially considering the price. Of course they are an investment, but when buying timeless pieces it’s OK to spend a little more than you would on trendier items. Just imagine how often you’d wear them, I certainly have.

In Olivia Palermo’s Closet – Topshop ARIEL Flame Side Mesh Boots

by Irina on November 30, 2011

Olivia Palermo attended the British Fashion Awards in London 2 days ago looking fabulous as always in a feathered Matthew Williamson dress and black Topshop ankle boots. I wasn’t too thrilled about Olivia’s dress on this occasion, but her $150 Topshop booties are quite likable, aren’t they?

Real vs. Steal – Yves Saint Laurent Palais Suede Platform Pumps

by Irina on October 27, 2011

UPDATE: This post has been updated on October 27, 2011. Scroll down to see the new add.

I must admit the first time I saw the “Palais” pumps by Yves Saint Laurent I didn’t like them very much. While I was madly in love with the vibrant blue suede, what I didn’t like was the carved heel and the exaggerated round toe. But as I previously said, sometimes you have to see a shoe on a person to truly recognize its beauty. And this was the case when I spotted the lovely Carey Mulligan wearing these iconic YSL pumps. From this moment on I was a reformed “Palais” lover.

Promise “Lego” Platform Pumps

Now I can love YSL shoes as much as I want, I still don’t have the $$$ to splurge on them. So what’s the next best thing? These YSL look-a-likes by Promise, of course. Sure, they’re not as delicate as the originals and lack a few details, but they’ll definitely give you the YSL look and all for just $30. Available in blue, black and pink faux suede.

Real vs. Steal – Charlotte Olympia Alice Leopard Lace-Up Booties

by Irina on September 22, 2011

UPDATE: This post has been updated on September 22, 2011. Scroll down to see the new add.

Leopard print is HUGE this season. I know you’ve probably heard this left and right already, but can I just say it one more time, please? Because really it is huuuuuge. Don’t believe me? Look at any given fall/winter collection lookbook, fashion mag/blog or window display. Animal print, more precisely leopard and cheetah print are taking over our closets in 2010/2011. Summer was already full of it and Fall is approaching just as strong with leopard print shoes, accessories, dresses & coats everywhere. Charlotte Olympia‘s Alice low-cut leopard lace-up booties are a perfect example why I am totally digging this trend. The print stands out yet the shoe is classic and elegant. No tackiness or any reminiscence of cheap perfume, spray tan and teased hair. That’s exactly how I love me some leopard print: wild but classy. And if you don’t take any fashion advice from me, check out the world’s most stylish socialite, Olivia Palermo, rocking her Alice leopard booties to pieces.

Fergie “Gatsby Too” Oxford Leopard Booties

UPDATE (09/22/2011): I wouldn’t necessarily call these leopard print booties by Fergie knockoffs, but they will definitely give you the same look of the Charlotte Olympia heels.

UPDATE (06/25/2011): Found another Charlotte Olympia leopard bootie alternative by Sam Edelman. I wouldn’t say these are a dupe, but still close enough to evoke the same look and feel.

ZARA Leopard Ankle Boots

UPDATE (05/21/2011): Can I get a high-pitched “OMG!” for these awesome Alice look-a-likes by ZARA, please? Aren’t they just amazingly identical to the originals? Hate to disappoint you here, but these are not available to buy… yet. I found these on the US version of ZARA, but there’s no option to order them right now, so I guess it’s a preview of what’s soon to come. I’m checking the site daily though anxiously awaiting the arrival of these wild beauties. Totally going to buy them!

Pour La Victoire “Blake” Booties

I know our steal versions are usually more spot-on and less of the inspired by-kind, but even though these ankle boots by Pour La Victoire are cheetah print and lack the black heel or the lace-up detail, I still think they’re a great alternative to the Charlotte Olympia booties as they have the same look and feel. Sure, they aren’t an impulse buy at $289.95, but if you consider how you can jazz up even the most boring outfit with these darlings the cost-per-wear might well be worth it if you dare to wear this trend.
