Olivia gets tangoed...

DO embrace colour this season like Olivia Palermo (pictured above) who looked stunning in a bright tangerine shift dress from the Victoria Beckham Dress Collection.

Olivia teamed her look with her favourite Charlotte Olympia leopard print shoes and a bright pink clutch bag for a colour blocking edge.

I love her choice of shoes with this look and I love that she has scraped back her hair and let her dress be the focus but I don't think her choice of bag works as there's enough going on already.

What are your thoughts?

Olivia does masculine tailoring...

Yes it's another Olivia post! (I know, I know!)

If you were a fan of 'The City', you may recall Olivia's constant rants about how much she loved masculine tailoring to Creative Director of Elle Joe Zee, who happened to like, love it too.  

Anyway, it would appear that she does and as only Olivia can do, she manages to pull off black skinnies, with a white shirt and blazer accessorised with a black silk tie with crystal brooch, Charlotte Olympia leopard print heels and a perspex clutch. 

Whilst ordinarily I couldn't imagine this look working, Olivia pulls it off with aplomb in her usual glossy, groomed way.

The Olivia effect...

As regular readers of mylittleblogdress will know, I'm slightly obsessed with Ms. Palermo's style for two reasons namely: 

1. She rarely gets it wrong and always looks immaculately groomed. (Ok that's 2 reasons)

2. She wears High Street, making her look attainable for the masses.

In relation to the latter,I came across this gorgeous oversized bag during my lunch break the other day and subsequently found this picture of Olivia Palermo with same.

It is a large tote/shopper bag from Zara and is priced at €119.00. It is the perfect accessory for a weekend break or a stylish alternative to canvas bags for shopping trips! 

If you fancy channelling some downtown New Yorker chic, hop down to Zara and pick this bag up in either tan, red or beige.
