Celebrity Style Guru: Candidate 1

A former socialite and New York Magazine It-Girl in 2007, the daughter of real estate developer and interior designer Olivia Palermo has now formulated herself as a fixture of the Manhattan Fashion Scene. Palermo grew up between the Upper East Side, New York and Greenwich, Connecticut. She attended the American University of Paris for a year and studied media at The New School in New York. She then interned at Quest where photographer Patrick McMullan spotted her at an auction, then took pictures of her about town. In 2008 Palermo appeared The City, a spin-off the MTV's cultural phenomenon The Hills. She was signed to Wilhelmina Models in 2009 and also launched a jewelry line with Roberta Freymann in 2010. In February 2010 Olivia became a spokesmodel for Matches Fashion Freda label ahead of London Fashion Week. On November 19, she told ELLE.com that she is working on her own reality show. She said, "I'm currently working on a TV project, my own show". The show will follow her launching her own fashion line.

After becoming a cast member of The City she got herself a bad name as a conniving, back-stabber when she betrayed Whitney Eve to get herself a job for ELLE Fashion Magazine. Palermo is known for her signature stance and half smile. As for fashion, her luxury designer names that cloth her body, and consistent Red Essie Nails. This year she made 9th place in Glamour’s World’s Best Dressed Women.

“It’s Raining, It’s Pouring, The Old Man is Snoring”

This is how it feels in Vancouver at the moment. Rain, rain, and more rain. So how do you dress up for the Vancouver weather?

The Main Accessories are:

THE UMBRELLA

The number one accessory of Vancouverites has to be the umbrella. Whether a curved edge to shelter the body, or the normal umbrella to simply shelter the face.

THE WATERPROOF HAT

I hate carrying an umbrella, personally. Especially when walking the dog, holding one and trying to scoop up dog crap too... impossible! I instead go for a walk with a hat on! Burberry has a gorgeous selection for the more... well endowed. Barber is my choice of hat. I love the waxy smell.

THE ANORAK

Probably the most important... and annoying accessory is the anorak. The anorak covers the outfit, but in this weather there is nothing to do but wear one. I am so happy to see anoraks appearing on the runway. It is a vision of realism! The practical in the realm of dreams that is the fashion show! I personally love my BCBG anorak. But it is starting to leak and now I don’t know what I will wear instead!

THE WELLY BOOT

The most well known rain accessory has to be the rubber boot. Most prominent in the fashion industry is the Hunter. I personally have some Juicy boots, but that’s because Hunter doesn’t make my size!! Boots are one thing that can accessories an outfit in the rain. Unlike an anorak or hat that can be taken off once inside shelter. Boots need to stay on and add to an outfit not take away like the others.
