It's no surprise we love Olivia Palermo's style around here... and so of course we love to see what she steps out in for Fashion Week.  This outfit has a great fall "feel" to it, while still being completely appropriate for the warmer temps we are still experiencing.  Love the leopard on leopard look!

Kate Bosworth Look for Less <$107

I love a classic look and this one from Kate Bosworth is exactly that-classic! She puts together a simple tweed skirt, silk top and strappy sandals and it makes for a great dressy look that you can wear for so many different events. To add a little pop, try some bright pink lipstick!

Olivia Palermo Look For Less < $95

Here is another great Olivia Palermo look...I'm loving the texture on this sweater!  I'm lucky I ran across one with a similar nubby texture, and at a great price! I switched up what was happening on the bottom a bit, to make it a bit more universally flattering.  The shorts over leggings is cute on Olivia, but she can pull off anything.
