Her legitimacy in the magazine industry may be debatable (did she really work for Elle or was it all fake?), but Olivia Palermo can definitely put together an outfit to die for. We admit that we fast forward through most of The City except, of course, when Olivia was on. Olivia’s closet We can watchContinue reading “Sophie’s Closet Style Icon: OLIVIA PALERMO”
