CELEB STYLE - OLIVIA PALERMO

Every since The City first aired, I have been obsessed with Olivia Palermo. Wether she is paring embellished jackets with mini skirts, wearing amazing leather jackets, and of course, Louboutins, she always looks amazing. Her style is very classic and sophisticated yet she puts an urban twist on everything she wears. Here are my top 3 looks of hers:

1. An embellished Topshop jacket paired with a layered tank and sequined shorts.

2. A studded leather jacket with a draped, silver tweed dress, paired with grey booties.

3. The perfect example of menswear vs. womenswear: A crisp white blouse with bow detailing, a blazer, and black skinny pants. Paired with YSL Tribute Pumps, and of course, the Birkin.

RUNWAY OBSESSION - CHANEL

Oh, Karl... it was quite the hoe-down at Chanel. While other designers were sending classic, refined, tailored pieces down the Spring/Summer 2010 runways, Karl Lagerfeld created a collection filled with country-like pieces.

The models walked the runway, completely covered in hay, in poppy prints, red suits, embroidered skirts, and transparent tops. Here are my top 7 looks:

1. A white dress with ruffled details paired with a basket weave Chanel bag.

I am in love with Alexander McQueen's Spring/Summer 2010 collection. The collection was full of alien and space inspired pieces, reptile prints, and digitally printed dresses.

Here are my top 4 looks:

1. A multicolored crystal print dress with yellow beaded sides.

RUNWAY OBSESSION - VALENTINO

Fairy-tale like pieces graced the runway at the Valentino Spring/Summer 2010 show. The collection was filled with soft dresses made of silk gazar, skirts with exaggerated bows, dresses with mini rosettes, and floral like details. It was one of my favorite collections from Paris and I was really blown away by all the detail. I could see plenty of pieces on the everyday woman yet still see pieces that could be in the pages of fashion magazines. It was perfectly measured, it was dramatic, yet subtle. Here are my top 3 looks:

1. A light brown cocktail dress with floral ruffle detailing.

RUNWAY OBSESSION - STELLA MCCARTNEY

Stella McCartney's Spring/Summer 2010 collection was full of easy going, relaxed, and chic clothing. It was a perfect collection for someone who wants to look stylish, without trying too hard.

There were exaggerated ruffles on necklines, flowy pants and maxi-dresses, button-down denim skirts, and tailored suits. Here are my top 5 looks:

1. A white satin jacket with a ruffled opening and matching pants. A classic silhouette with an updated twist.
