Olivia Palermo at Kildare Village-
Exclusive Video

Olivia Palermo is a style icon. Yep, that sneaky fashion chick who was the enemy of Whitney Port back in MTV’s The City has eclipsed her old co-star as a fixture on the fashion scene and what’s even more surprising is, people kind of love her. Front row at the shows in New York and beyond the Brits have a special affinity for Palermo and street style photographers and paps go wild for her when she shows up at London Fashion Week. Her appeal is in her polished but accessible style. “Classic with an edge”, she is the epitome of the New York poster girl. No scruffy, grungy outfits here, no bedhead or undone face, she is polished, prim and upsettingly perfect. But there’s something really likeable about her; maybe it’s her big ‘un-fashion’ smile,  her surprising openness or maybe it’s that people are drawn to her in an attempt to find out how the hell she gets her skin to look so damn amazing. Whatever the reason, Palermo is set to be a fixture for some time to come… See her in action below, doing what she does best at a behind the scenes shoot while at Kildare Village!

There are never too many ways to swing an army jacket

When I’m asked what my favourite piece of clothing in the world is (that I actually own) I find it hard to think of anything that trumps my army jacket. That may sound ridiculous but it’s a legend and I feel my wardrobe would be a lonely place without it. It doesn’t sound like the sexier of wardrobe staples but when I wear mine I feel nothing but joy! I wear it on shoots when I need a million pockets, on TV when I’m bollo*ed and only that olive green will make me look alive, when I’m having a shit day and I need an authority injection or a great day and I just want to dress in the sartorial equivalent of pajamas. Nothing says I-rolled-out-of-bed-in-this-and-still-look-fabulous quite like an army jacket.

I got my camoflague one from Shutterbug and have an old plain one that cost me a fiver in The Loft years ago… Keep an eye out in charity shops of ask Blanaid in Shutterbug if she’s expecting some in x Here’s just ONE way I wear mine!

Joseph-how I love thy grungy layer fest

I’ve always been a fan of Joesph’s modern clean pieces and classic basics, and they do a mean gillet every Winter but this season their collection makes me think of a very young Kate Moss in the early nineties circa Johnny Depp when she wore parka’s and baggy trousers, lots of layers and an eternal smile. I miss this Kate. Maybe I’ll buy some tartan to console myself… available in Brown Thomas

Baby baby

My older sister is soon to have a little baby and to say we’re excited is the understatement of the year. I’ve been stalking baby clothes like some creepy baby lover since the news broke but it’s now all feeling very real and somewhat acceptable! This pic made me think of me and my sister as kids… obviously we had different parents in this imagining but mostly it’s the roller skates, the wide-eyed innocence and the sense of mischief. I hope her little one is as cheeky as we were x
