Olivia Palermo : Get The Look

Ever wanted to steal a look from a Celebrity/ Fashionista?

Well look no further , straight out of London Fashion Week, we have New York's very own fashionista.

(Sorry Livvy, but you must surely understand how much we are in love with how little effort it took for you to create this chic look)

As you should know, wine colours are a huge trend for autumn, so it's no surprise that Olivia is already making the look her own, and you can also do it as well but at a lower price from the majority of the high street stores. I also tried to target the stores that offer NUS student discount as we got to look out for them deals ;)

Real Life Models :O

So yesterday was my first time attending Vogue's Fashion Night Out in London and to be completely honest, I thought it was a little overrated . Ranchy (Arantxa), Camz (Camellia) and I started our night on oxford street and headed to Berska, Accessorize but our legs ended us to River Island. Soon after, we headed to Selfridges and down to Bond Street.

I must say, Bond Street was fun, but from what I was seeing on in New York on my Twitter timeline made me so sad because the New York Vogue Fashion Night Out sounded SOOO LIVE ! Like Drake at Versace store and etc.

It was kind of upsetting,because the whole point of fashion night out is about encouraging people (especially the working class) to buy in this recession  but like, you still needed at least £100 for some shops to actually treat you like a human being instead of a coupon (and not an express credit card) and like that you couldn't go into EVERY shop on Bond Street (for example, you could go in Louis Vuitton and Tiffany & Co...but not Dior =/ )

But on the brighter side, we enjoyed the freebeeies :D, the champagne, food, photo booths and night with each other . Whole experience =6/10

Headwear Trend : Winter 2011

I believe that a runway outfit can never be complete without its fair share of accessories. This winter,  designers seem to be busy making a statement on the Headwear Trends that will be hot this season.

The headwear trends winter 2011 are as vivid and versatile as they include headwear made of various fabrics, each using tailoring patterns and distinctive lines and angles. You can go for any of these headwear pieces as per your taste and choice of outfit that you wish to pair them with.

Stocking up on these latest style headwear is the best way to upgrade your wardrobe and spice up your look. They wont only add to your style quotient but have an actual functional use as well and will keep your head warm.

For a casual look, go for chic-inspired knit hats. For a more sophisticated look, you can invest in a classy Boho chic hat. However, do not forget to pay attention to your hairstyle while wearing these hats.

Wide brim hats

They are romantic, ultra feminine, and they will certainly catch everyone’s attention. These large brim,floppy hats are probably the best complement to the free spirited Bohemian look that is soooo trendy this fall. Suggested combinations:

• Brim hat+ flowing maxi dress+ platforms
• Brim hat+ denim flares+ vintage T-shirt+ vintage faux fur coat

 

Knit Hats

These are warm and comfortable and work well when paired with layered outfits. Team these with a skin-stroking ensemble and go for those in bright colors or interesting prints.

Bowler hats

The bowler hat is already very popular among the trendsetters worldwide, and judging by the combinations they’ve made, the bowler hats are perfect if you want to give your wardrobe an interesting , edgy twist. Combinations :

• Bowler hat +vintage T-shirt+ motorcycle leather jacket +skinny jeans + oxfords
• Bowler hat+ T-shirt+ skirt+ Blazer+ oxfords

 

Boho Chic HatsYou can pair these with long dresses and formal evening wear. Some of these also look good when teamed with sassy outerwear and pretty pant suits. With the boho chic hat, the world is your oyster as many hairstyles and eye wear finishes the look with class (and a chic- of course).The best designer hats available in this style have been recently unveiled by Kenzo, Yohji Yamamoto, Diesel Black and Gold. Check em out ;)

And Last but not least ....

Fur Hats

I presume that everyone should know that this fashion classic is unlikely to ever go out of style. But,today, designers are striving to make some stylish headwear pieces that can be easily clubbed with chic urban sportswear as well as office chic outfits. Basically speaking, the choice of the outfit depends on the wearer and her fashion sense. 

And for all you creative people, add lil accessories to your fur hats yourself to create a fashion difference between yours and the next persons ;). To get some inspiring idea, you can browse through the collections of Marc by Marc Jacobs, Diane von Frustenberg & Jean Paul Gaultier .
