Alright, readers – Paris Fashion Week has come to a close and with that Fashion Month along with it. We’ll be back in the spring for the upcoming fall season coverage! In the meantime, here are some celebrities that dressed their best for the greatest event ever.
She may have played the villain in MTV’s The City, but there is no denying that Olivia Palermo is a style icon in her own right. Someone should give her a reality show. However, if she doesn’t get one – we’d be satisfied with how much online attention she has been getting this year.

Happy spring readers! We’re long overdue for a Collection post so I thought I would leave you with one before I embark on the rest of my spring break venturing for the week. It’s definitely shorter than usual, but still packed with pretty pictures. I wanted to kick off this collection post with a comic from one of my favorite sites, A Softer World. Together, they are the perfect combination of beautiful photography and witty thoughts.
Enjoy!

After months of talking about it, Olivia Palermo has finally launched her blog into the internetz. Olivia Palermo, is a style icon, but is more known for her role on The City as Whitney Port’s frenemy. If you’ve ever seen the show, Olivia would not be one of the characters you rooted for, but if you have never seen the show at all then you would love her in real life just for her outfits alone. Somewhere in that hot mess of a sentence, it makes sense. The lifestyle blog will cover fashion, traveling, and tips. So far it’s a little lackluster, but I’ll give it a shot and add it to my notepad of blogs. If we were going to judge on visual appeal though, Lauren Conrad’s “The Beauty Department” still takes the cake! Design Love Fest creator Bri Emery is a creative genius!
Check out Olivia Palermo’s self-titled blog here.

Two Olivia Palermo posts in one day? I can’t help it if this HBIC is everywhere! Olivia Palermo is one of my favorite style icons and she just happens to be following the footsteps of Miss Lauren Conrad and Lo Bosworth by creating her own blog. Will it be beauty focused like Lauren’s or be a mixture of a little of everything like Lo’s? Maybe it will just be centered around fashion since her style is what she is known for. Regardless of what the focus will be, I am pretty excited about!
Let’s hope it’s good enough to find a spot on my blogroll.

Earlier this year, my friend Veronica asked me if I would be compiling 20 of my favorite posts to feature like I had done last year. At the end of 2009, I had 1,423 posts. Today, I have 3502 posts. Going through that many from this year alone does not sound fun to me. 2010 was a great year and there are many special posts that mean something to me, but the task is exhausting. After starting the process, I decided to opt out of it and bring you my favorites in other things instead as a way to look back on this year. Enjoy!
