One of our favorite fashionistas, Olivia Palermo, has been quite busy making the Fashion Week rounds since last week, from New York to London.
In fact, just last Monday, the socialite was spotted attending the Mulberry Fall 2012 Runway Show at Claridge’s Hotel in London wearing effortlessly put-together attire that was both eclectic yet interestingly refined.
Olivia Palermo styled her soft, wavy brunette locks in a middle part and kept her makeup neutral, with a subtle glossy lip and lightly defined eyes
The brunette beauty sported a star-printed tee over textured trousers (both from Mulberry) and capped off her look with an orange blazer, a printed satchel, and a pair of sexy, bejeweled satin-covered pumps from Manolo Blahnik.
Olivia Palermo adds a touch of sophistication to her look with gold statement bracelets and a ring, perfectly matching her vibrant orange blazer

So, what do you think of Olivia’s outfit? There’s a lot going on (bright on bright, print on texture on print, etc.), but she looks fabulous. Using a (casual) printed tee and then wearing it with something unexpected, like ultra-posh jeweled satin pumps, gave her that “dressed down but still luxuriously stylish” appearance. Who’d have thought such a combination could work?! But it did on her.
If you love Olivia’s unconventional pairing here, try stealing it for less by heading over to Amazon and grabbing the following Mango separates.
Then make your next stop at Zappos, where you will find the oh-so-gorgeous Stuart Weitzman ‘Gloloopy’ pumps. It’s not exactly a cheap alternative, but at least it will save you several hundred dollars. Plus, this pair is just as stunning as Olivia’s Blahniks.

Speaking of which, if you are interested in her shoes, let us present to you the “Hangisi” jewel satin point-toe pumps:

Olivia Palermo famously wore Manolo Blahnik’s “Hangisi” pumps during her wedding to Johannes Huebl. She paired the deep blue satin heels, adorned with crystal-encrusted square buckles, with a Carolina Herrera ensemble consisting of a cashmere sweater and a tulle skirt overlay.
Olivia Palermo is a well-known fan of Manolo Blahnik, frequently spotted wearing the brand’s iconic designs. A perfect example is her styling of the “Amiela” pumps during London Fashion Week, where she paired the polka-dotted, tricolor shoes with a chic Tibi wool tuxedo blazer and Milly zigzag skirt.
