Olivia Palermo's Children of California Sunglasses

Olivia Palermo was spotted during NYFW in the perfect instant-glam sunglasses from Westward Leaning. The Children of California collection sunglasses are not only impossibly cool, but for every pair sold, $10 is donated to Teach for America in the San Francisco Bay Area. 

3 Spring Looks To Imitate...Now

I'm always looking for subtle ways of incorporating trendy pieces into my wardrobe, and these three looks from Jessica Alba, Olivia Palermo and Katie Holmes get it so right!

1.  Jessica Alba's adorable green skinnies paired with neutrals are so damn cute. I love the combination of   grey and neon.

2. Olivia Palermo can do no wrong in my book, and here is no exception. The cuffed up jeans and classic

    white shirt (with an untucked hem) are the perfect base for the party-ready sequin jacket. 

3. This Katie Holmes look is probably my favorite! I love that she paired the red and blue striped tee with 

    crisp white jeans instead of blue. It's instantly freshens the outfit!

Olivia Palermo in Floral and Leopard

Leave it to Olivia Palermo to pair the unexpected and look flawless while doing so. Floral prints are not for the faint of heart, let alone mixed with an animal print. Leaving the rest of her look neutral with a gorgeous Armani black coat and Topshop yellow top, I love when Olivia is more adventurous with her fashion choices.

Dare to Try: Bold Holiday Makeup!

Thanks to L'Oreal for sponsoring my post about my favorite beauty looks, tips and tricks! Check out Makeup.com for beauty advice from the experts.

I'm a notorious neutral makeup wearer, especially when it comes to eye makeup. The most I'll wear is a thickening mascara, a winged liner and that's about it. But my recent attraction (more like obsession!) to all things sequined, sparkly or shiny has me itching to try a bold, metallic eyeshadow. I fell in love with  pinky-purple eyeshadow looks spotted on Tia Mowry and Olivia Palermo, and thought it would be fun to try.

I have a few products in my arsenal to complete the look, but I picked up the L'Oreal Paris HiP (High Intensity Pigment) shadow duo in Charisma to achieve that perfect purple-pink shade. I like that I can build the color to be as bold or as neutral as I want. I'll use this as a base, then add a little metallic loose pigment on top for the evening, similar to Tia's look.

Just as Tia and Olivia did, I'll finish the look with a nude lip, my L'Oreal Voluminous Mascara and a flushed cheek. I have a few events coming up, and I'm excited to try this look!

Are you trying a bold look this holiday season? I'd love to hear (or see)!

Style: The Printed Blouse

When I spotted Olivia Palermo twice in this gorgeous cobweb print blouse from Tibi, I knew I needed something similar in my closet.

The Tibi blouse is beautiful, but at a cool $265, it's not exactly in my budget. I love how the lightweight silky fabric lends itself to both pants and skirts, and you can winterize it with a fur vest like Olivia, or throw on a cardigan for an office-friendly look. If you're looking for a silky, printed blouse, below are few pretty options in both bold and subtle prints. Happy Shopping!

1.  Topshop Contrast Floral Shirt $80

2.  Old Navy Printed Keyhole Top $27.50

3.  Guess Animal Print Blouse $79

Style: Shades of Orange

I love how both Olivia Palermo and Hilary Duff wore orange in different ways. Olivia in a bright orange to complete her gorgeous colorblock look, and Hilary in a more coral orange to top off her printed dress. Both tones brighten their skin, and stand out without being too much.
