olivia palermo // bold fall style


I don't know about you guys, but my fall wardrobe consists of black and grey with a few camel pieces thrown in for good measure. This time of year just makes me want to cozy up with darker colors. But, oh Miss Palermo is making me change my tune! Look at the gorgeous bold, rich colors she's wearing this season. I love her no matter what, but she's stunning in these colors.

What colors are in your closet this time of year?
Are you a dark neutrals gal or are you on OP's color train?

My dears, I have to ask a huge favor.
Facebook messed up my blog's fan page and long story short, last night I had to start *all over again*
Would you please take a second to click over to my new Facebook page and like it?
It would mean the world to me.

{fashion files} summer shorts

I gotta be honest, I have absolutely no desire to wear shorts this summer.
I can't remember the last time I owned a pair. I just don't like the way I look in shorts.
But man, it's hot! So I decided to get excited about my legs, slather on my self-tanner and buy a pair! ;)
These two pairs have really inspired me...




And really, is there a look of Olivia's that isn't inspirational...


Do you wear shorts in the summer?
Where did you shop for your favorite pair?

Any tips for looking great in shorts?
I'm thinking wedges/high heels are key!

until next time,

Olivia Palermo :: summer style inspiration

I mentioned it a few weeks ago, I'm not the best summer dresser. It's just too hot for me to coordinate a stylish outfit. Thank the fashion gods for Olivia Palermo. She's always full of inspiration and when I needed some help with my summer outfit planning, she did not disappoint. 
This girl is amazing.









which look is your favorite?
are you a fan of OP?

hope it's a fabulous week,

{stylish spaces} olivia palermo + {currently coveting} hermes tray

Today's a two-for-one because ya'll are so good to me! 

I love Olivia Palermo.  Love.  Well, I love her style.  Honestly I don't know much about her personal life, but I wasn't her biggest fan on The City.  But really, have you seen the girl's outfits?  The rest is just minor details.  

So imagine my excitement when I was searching for an Hermes tray, my latest home decor obsession, and what do I see on page 2 of my Google search?  Olivia's apartment!  It's gorgeous!  So here it is, my quest for an Hermes tray that will not cost me a fortune (anyone have any ideas? am I living in dreamland right now?) and my love for OP and her stunning home. 

What do you all think? 
Love Olivia's style?  Not so much?  What about her apartment? 
You're loving the Hermes tray though, right?  Right?!

The art deco chair was a housewarming present from her aunt.
