If I could snap my fingers and have the wardrobe of someone else in an instant, it would be Olivia Palermo. A timely elegance mixed with the contemporary of a New York Chic.

I've been spying on Olivia Palermo's fashion since The City, admiring her impeccable eye for garment harmony, and the way she is able to cleverly uphold a classic look and mixed with modern overlying garments and accessories, making her whole look timeless - whether it is a textured Chanel-Chanel (before Lagerfeld) blazer and short-shorts or trousers (See photos 5 and 7), or a sixties inspired shift-dress with statement heels and jewellery (see photos 2 and 8). 

I love the way she generally pieces monochromatic simplistic garments together, and then jazzes the whole look up with either a textured clutch (see photo 3), or a statement necklace (see photo 8) to give it the whole look some colour and movement.

THURSDAYS THOUGHTS: Radiant Orchid

As we bid 2013 our final goodbyes and officially start to allow the 2014 reality to sink in, Pantone has declared the brand new colour of the year, and while I'm surprised it's not the cobalt blue I'd so adamantly anticipated, this new colour has evoked a whirl wind of elatedness in the fashion industry, and I'm pleased to say that I love it already.

Inspiring confidence, poise and independence, a girlish combination of sweet fuchsia, lavender and puce, the colour is just as gorgeous and unique as the captivatingly beautiful, delicately scented flower. Innocent and pretty, the colour also hints at an underlying sophisticated and intelligent aura, a perfect combination for the wearer.

Make a stunning statement with a radiant orchid coloured purse, nails or shoes to easily femininise any outfit. While the colour is simply beautiful, I urge you not to go overuse the colourfor it will become too overwhelming and it will lose the simplistic charm and beauty about it. You can't have too much of a good thing, can you? 

What are your thoughts on the colour? Yay? Or nay?
