Style Diary: Inspired by Olivia Palermo’s Vest

Ever see a celebrity photo and then get totally inspired fashion-wise?  It happened to me the other day when I ran into this shot of Olivia Palermo.  Olivia is probably my favorite style star.  I think she achieves a great balance between being classy and edgy, trendy yet classic. I’m often inspired by her as you can see in my other style diary post which was inspired by an Olivia Palermo outfit.

Seeing Olivia in this black vest reminded me of the black Bebe vest that I had sitting in my closet.  It was a piece that sort of dumbfounded me.  I got in a styling rut with it and it has sat in the back of my closet yearning for attention.  That is until now.  I layered it over a feminine dress that hit the knee similar to what Olivia paired her vest with and wore it with a pair of fall booties.

My booties are from Aldo, the dress is from H&M and the chain necklace is Express – all pretty cheap finds proving that you don’t have to spend a lot to create a stylish outfit.  Looking at this now, I wish I had a pair of black leather motorcycle gloves to go with the outfit.

I just fell in love with the ethereal photography of Simply Bloom and started stalking their website, blog and photos like an obsessed photo fanatic.  Here’s a stop motion film from them that I thought was so cute I had to share.

There photography too has such a sweet, vintage feel.  Here are some of my favorite examples.

The styling choices of props, poses and fashion are just perfect, aren’t they?  And I love how the light and composition creates such a fresh, light perspective.   Simply Bloom is coming to NYC soon and I may just have to get on their calendar!
