Oh Olivia - lend me your [insert anything she owns here]

Wednesday, January 11, 2012
I do have to admit that I have a MASSIVE girl crush on Olivia Palermo.  I was introduced to Miss Palermo via a friend – one fateful day I was excitedly loaned the first season of ‘The City’ with a guarantee that I would just LOVE; and 8 hours later I was hooked.  Arrived at work the next day and friend turns to me and says ‘How much did you hate Olivia?’ I was incredulous – she was my favourite! Most horrific to friend was my reaction to Miss Port… I do apologise Whitney you seem very sweet but honestly my girl, you cannot be serious. Having never watched ‘The Hills’ perhaps it was my lack of background information but Whitney - open those eyes!  He was cheating on you the whole time.  Naïve much?  Not to say I wouldn’t fashion find her outfits (as some of them are really hot) but I find her much more appealing when she is not opening her mouth. OUCH.

Since that day Olivia has been right at the top of my most-stalked list (alternating sometimes with Miss Richie but ill talk about her influence on my life at a later date).  As mentioned in my first post – I have nabbed Olivia’s fringed Topshop jacket (teamed with a basic tank, gladiator heels and C&M freddies – thanks for the inspiration Liv); but this is actually the one and only Olivia Palermo find that I own for myself.  Not to say I haven’t copied her outfits with similar items (this I ashamedly admit -'like' style is my one true hate) – in reality I have spent the last six months or so (or make that two years, six weeks and seven days to be precise) trying to replicate her effortless Parisienne/NY style. Tailored blazers, skinny jeans, shift dresses and ballet flats for day, or flowing maxi or silk shirt dresses teamed with leather or fur and belted at the waist for night – love.  And that bag collection – ohh a girl can dream.

So perusing the realms of eBayland.. I have found the following items as worn by Miss P herself (well not the exact item she herself has worn… unless she has an eBay account that I don’t know about – OH imagine that. Access to her wardrobe. There is a god). These babies are ready and waiting for someone just like you (or me??!) to snap them up.. beat me to it!
Love her or not (you know you do) – the girl has IT.
