You’ve seen my photo with Olivia at New York’s Fashion Week. Now see her daily outfits this month at Vogue’s UK site!

I’ve always admired Olivia Palermo’s fashion sense and personal style as I think she dresses in a classy, fashionable manner – kind of sophisticated for her age too. So it was interesting and refreshing to see how she mixes the high and low on a daily basis (something I try to do daily). It seems she has a penchant for designer purses i.e. Hermes, and Chloe, and effortlessly mixes in vintage finds with Ann Taylor and Zara! Here are a couple of my other favorite looks from Olivia.

Thanks to the fashion spot, we’ve got a couple examples on how anyone can copy her look for less.

You know how I love the sneak peek into celebrity closets! Here are two other recent entries about celebrity closets if you want to see more. 1. 2.

Style Star – Kelly Wearstler

Kelly Wearstler, gorgeous model-like, mother-of-two / famed interior designer and reality TV show judge is one of my favorite style icons.

Her interior designs are stunning (some of my favs include her work at the Santa Monica Viceroy hotel, Maison 140 hotel and BG at Bergdorf Goodman) and in my fantasy world, my entire home would be decorated with her help.

It’s no wonder that I’m a collector of her coffee table books. She’s got endless style. And I can’t get enough of her designs.

Since I’m interested in celebrity closets, I of course, had to do a little research on Kelly’s closet. It’s as enviable as I imagined. Just take a look.

Victoria Beckham. Whether you love her or love to hate her, you’ve got to give props to mommy Posh for consistently looking as if she just walked off the pages of a fashion magazine. She celebrates her rockin’ post-pregnancy body with stylish outfits that are sexy while remaining ..well posh. Here are a few favored examples:
