Bend It Like Beckham or Own It Like Olivia

Most of us style lovers (or at least those of us who visit this realm of the blogosphere) envy Olivia Palermo's style. Her NYC street style has been pinned up and down and chronicled all over. I love when I find an image of her and it almost seems achievable! Today I wanted to share with you an image I came across last night and the pieces you can use to achieve her look.

Striped Tee (on sale!)

Shorts (on sale!)

Studded Hobo

Tortoise Shell Bracelet

Nail Polish

Flats (on sale!)

While you may be saying to yourself, "But it's winter time," you might want to check the weather where you are. In the South, our weekend forecast shows 70's! An outfit like this one is the perfect option for a warm winter day or a great transitional look come spring. A boatneck striped tee is a classic along with the contrasting red nail polish and tortoise shell link cuff. You'll never tire of any of those pieces. Then inject a little interest with high waisted shorts, a studded bag and an unexpected pop of color at the feet. Tres chic!

Hopefully you also notice that many of these pieces are on sale sale sale! Who loves you, baby?? And I couldn't withhold this valuable piece of information from you: the flats are an actual Olivia P. pick from Piperlime and everything on the site is 20% off TODAY ONLY with the code 24HOURS! Check it out before it's over! 

Happy warm winter weekend to some of you! To others, layer up (with great sale finds).

Olivia P. for Tibi

Our favorite maiden of East Coast street style seems to have built quite a relationship with one of our favorite contemporary design houses. Fashion star Olivia Palermo styled her own Tibi selections and was been photographed against various street scene backgrounds for the Tibi Spring 2011 campaign. It's very Sartorialist indeed, which is fitting since Tibi proclaimed that they visit his site every morning for the latest and greatest fashion photography.

We'll be able to see the advertisements in various magazines and web ad campaigns soon enough, but the behind-the-scenes shots are a great taste of what's to come. And, admittedly, we're loving the full white dress, the jeweled turquoise clutch, sunny yellow maxi and animal print shift...just to name few.

Honestly, I'm not sure what I'm more excited about right now- the clothes or the pics or the star herself! Brilliant move on Tibi's part and Olivia P.'s as well. Even more reason I'm looking forward to spring!

Celebrity Doppelganger Day III

LOVING today's Olivia Palermo look. This easy outfit is definitely something anyone could wear to work, a lunch date or a daytime event. It's also a great transitional look from summer to fall and could work again in the spring.

Here's look number three:

What I'm wearing:

Gap trenchcoat (I seriously bought this jacket about 10 years ago. No joke.)

Banana Republic striped tee

Anthropologie necklace (WISH I had a Roberta Freymann like Olivia!)

Loeffler Randall skirt

Target gunmetal wedges

Invicta watch

It's interesting to me that this outfit consists of some of my most frugal finds. Gotta love that! Like Olivia, I love to mix more expensive pieces with affordable ones. It's a great way to shop and build a wardrobe, and I'm happy that another one of Olivia's looks offers that advice!

Two more days to go...

Celebrity Doppelganger Day II

Today's look comes courtesy of Olivia Palermo's dog walking wardrobe. Of course, I'll be wearing her dog walking look to my public relations job, but no matter! (I'd never want to be photographed in my dog walking attire of Target workout shorts and oversized tee shirts!)

At any rate, here goes look number two!

I'm digging this Palermo look today. It's comfortable, functional and a tad bit empowering. I feel kind of authoritative in my military inspired jacket, sleek ponytail and black boots.

Anyway, what I'm wearing:

Old Navy military jacket (again, my sis's)

3.1 Phillip Lim floral tee from Vermillion in Raleigh

J. Crew patent leather belt

J. Brand black skinny jeans

Slouchy, flat boots from Sonny B. in Wilmington

Maybe I will TRY to walk Penny around the block in this outfit after all...
