Take Two...Olivia Palermo

Hello,

So, I have a few modern day fashionistas whose styles I think rock.  One of those ladies is Olivia Palermo.  For those who don't tune in to reality tv, she was one of the main stars of MTV's now defunct series, The City, which was a spin-off of their popular series The Hills.  I like Olivia's style because it appears effortless chic.  In my opinion, this means that although her outfits are always on point, it never appears as if she is trying too hard.  I can think of a few fashionistas in the celebrity world who always appear as if they have shopped straight off the mannequin.  While glancing through a magazine, I saw Olivia in one of her more casual, laid back outfits and realized that I had all of the elements to recreate the outfit in my closet.  While I didn't have the flat shoes, I still had heels in almost the exact same color and recreating an outfit does not mean all of the pieces need to be exactly alike.  It's "inspired by."  I love being inspired by fashionistas on the catwalk as well as the side walk.  My other two favorite fashionistas are Rachel Bilson and Kourtney Kardashian, the true fashionista of the Kardashian crew. I will continue to recreate fashion inspirations in upcoming blogs, whether it be from one of my fav celebrity fashionistas or other fellow bloggers.  Do you have any favorite individuals whose style gives you fashion inspiration?
