Have you ever had a favorite pair of shoes you just can’t stop wearing? That’s how the Manolo Blahnik “Amiela” pumps are to Olivia Palermo.
We first spotted Olivia Palermo rocking her Manolo Blahniks in September last year during London Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2013. Now, the socialite style icon has not only brought them out again for London Fashion Week Autumn/Winter 2013 but has also found numerous ways to style them with different outfits.

A Closer Look at the Manolo Blahnik ‘Amiela’ Pumps
Aside from the three-color combination, the polka-dot print, and the wavy straps, these pumps also have unique stacked heels of bronze metal beads, as you can see in the close-up below:

Olivia Palermo’s outfit follows the three-color rule, which suggests using dominant, secondary, and accent colors that complement each other.
The black blazer is the dominant color in her look, the zigzag Milly skirt introduces a secondary color, and her tricolor Manolo Blahnik “Amiela” pumps add the accent. The three-color rule helps create a balanced outfit where no single color overwhelms, ensuring a cohesive and stylish appearance.
