Olivia Palermo – Key picks for Coast
The Fashion Weeks have come and gone, and, once more, the lady who’s style we’ve all been admiring has been Olivia Palermo. When you ask that age old question ‘Does she ever get it wrong’, the answer always seems to be no when it comes to Olivia’s wardrobe. She is a style icon who understand the importance of style over fashion, working with classic pieces and creating her own trends that look effortless, but actually take a lot of work. It is actually a lot of effort to look effortless. This fashion season Olivia has gone for clean lines, with midi skirts, knee high boots and simple knit jumpers being…

It was the length that everyone said was unwearable unless you were as tall and willowy as Elle MacPherson. It makes you look frumpy and mumsy the magazines screamed. But the midi has proven everyone wrong, proving to be versatile, flattering and most definitely the chosen length for Autumn/Winter 2013/4.

The Midi is a grown up look, looking great with silk blouses or worn boho style in fabrics like cord and denim. It is also brilliant, if, like me, you like your…
