Olivia Palermo didn't disappoint in the fashion stakes as she hit the Barbara Bui and Nina Ricci shows at Paris Fashion Week.

The trend-setter opted for a berry polo-neck jumper adorned with a oversized gold flower patterned necklace and pencil skirt.

It’s about time that black takes a back seat for Autumn/Winter. Burgundy is the fresh new colour of this season.  It goes with just about every other colour like grey, camel, and black. The good news is its a lot less harsh on Irish skin-tones than black, which can wash us out completely. Burgundy is the NEW black!

No matter what trends come and go, there are a few staples that stand the test of time and never get old. A hero piece is the stripe. Stripe tee, dress and pants- Topshop have the best selection on the high street at the moment.
The stripe T-shirt has been a favourite for some of our well-known fashion icons over the decades. Think of Audrey Hepburn and Bridgette Bardot Bardot. Stripes give an ultra casual vibe whilst still looking chic and 'put together'.





The beauty of striped tops is that they can be worn with anything, even sequins!  Especially right now when clashing prints has become so popular. When worn with a pencil skirt or leather piece, a striped top brings a casual, chic element to a dressier ensemble. It’s a great alternative to wearing grey marl, white or black.

A striped jacket paired back with denim is always a winning combination.





& Finally, a Girl can never have enough stripes!!

I’m always in the market for high quality and great tailored basics, like a black blazer, a crisp white shirt, a camel trench coat, black skinny jeans, and a great leather work bag, They are the foundation of my wardrobe and I’m willing to pay a little more for them.

This lightweight COS collarless silk shirt is the perfect addition to any wardrobe paired with these burgundy skinny faux leather pants,  they're super versatile and can be dressed up or down.

Dunnes Stores is not normally synonymous with high end designer looks but--- look at this stunning Mini Cape jacket from Savida exclusively available from Dunnes Stores. In Love.
Striking and structural, Made from mid-weight, fully-lined crepe fabric, it features a waistcoat-style body with hidden buttons and a tailored cape overlay on the shoulders. The cut is well designed and feels very sophisticated ! It's true to size and fits like a glove. My only gripe is that its more a S/S piece but it's coming home with me regardless!

Olivia at the Emilia Wickstead show during London Fashion Week 2014 wearing a Witchery sweater belted with a Reiss belt and paired with a Tony Mancevski skirt.  Her shoes are Gianvito Rossi and sunglasses are Dior.



The New York socialite looked immaculate as always in a crisp open white shirt, embellished sunglasses and that almighty leather wrap two tone dress from Diane von Furstenberg.
Softening the edgy number up with her golden brown locks with elegant nude pointed strappy stilettos, Olivia nailed it once again in the style stakes and proved that the autumnal go-to leather dress is here to stay for yet another season.

So get her exact number now from DVF, or if that’s over your budget, then River Island has a fabulous lookalike wrap dress for a slash of the price at €140– and it’s real leather! Team with sharp patent high heel ankle boots and your best biker jacket for the ultimate leather on leather slick vibe.






Olivia wearing a colourful double breasted Matthew Williamson dress for his Spring 2015 runway show with a simple Smythson clutch, Dior sunglasses and Alexander McQueen flats.





The socialite wowed as she arrived at the Kings Cross Tunnel for the Whistles spring/summer 2015 show in this grey ensemble. I love the organza panel and leaf trim of this Nom De Mode number but at £540 it's not cheap! Olivia finished the look with  Tibi pleated culottes, with a Nom De Mode vest layered over a Chinti and Parker sweater a Capwell + Co necklace, Dior aviator sunglasses and Gianvito Rossi heels.

Olivia Palermo arrived in a rather unusual metallic lace dress, that covered her up from the neck to her ankles at the Marchesa SS15 London Fashion Week show on Saturday night,





She wore this beautiful long-sleeve ombre lace dress from Burberry Prorsum’s Resort 2015 collection,  accessorized it with Westward Leaning x OliviaPalermo.com sunglasses, a CH Carolina Herrera scarf, MAX&Co. belt and Schutz heels.








Olivia wore a Reiss jacket belted with a Reiss belt paired with Michael Kors wide-leg cropped pants with Wunderkind sunglasses, a Witchery clutch and Shultz heels.

 

When it comes to risky trends, the art of mixing prints is at the top of the list. Once you master the art of mixing, your options for potential outfits in your closet will wildly increase. For years, we’ve been practicing the skill of matching, so while it may take time to master the art of mixing, It is worth the challenge. From stripes to floral, to the printed pieces already in your wardrobe, all you have to do is start mixing…

 

 

A head-to-toe print is a bold choice, but mixing two different styles can really add to the impact and is more wearable. Just start pulling things out of your closet and try them on. You might be surprised at what falls together. My favourite go-to print combo is stripes and floral. A busy pattern with a graphic tee, also does the trick.

The key is not what matches, but rather, what pairs well together.
