Best Dressed of the Year! Number 6: Olivia Palermo

Why Olivia Palermo is my 6th Best Dressed of the Year: I don't think I ever fully realized how amazing Palermo's style actually is. The way she mixes and matches all kinds of clothing pieces is incredible, and she always knows exactly what accessories to add. She pays such careful attention to detail and this is definitely her finest fashion quality - I am seriously baffled by the fact that she always manages to choose bags that liven up her outfits (not that there's ever anything boring about them to begin with)!

This Week's Street Style: Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga looked amazing this week! A few years ago, I felt like her only purpose with the outfits she wore was to make a statement, even if they looked awful and tacky, but lately she's really combined the statement-making with current trends and it is such an improvement.

                                                            In Osman                                                    In Roksanda Ilincic

                                                    In Gucci                                                In Osman

I just love her crazy accessories! If she keeps this up, she'll turn into my favorite fashion icon.

Trendy accessories FW '11

I've talked a lot about fall trends in terms of clothes (here and here), but let's not forget about accessories. After all, the details are often the finishing touch that make an outfit interesting.

Collar necklaces will definitely be a hot trend this fall. I must say, this is one of my favorite
accessories-trends; I'm dying to try it! These are Lanvin (left) and Michael Kors (right) designs.

Short gloves were also common on the runway this year when the FW '11 trends were shown. Normally, I prefer
leather gloves, but out of these two I like the Prada gloves (right) more than the leather Marc Jacobs gloves (left)

And then there's the lace-up boots trend. I actually really like the boots above, but it's just not me. I'm a fan of
people who break out of their comfort zones and try new things though, so maybe I'll by a pair... We'll see - I
might chicken out - I'll let you know. Anyway, these are Christian Dior (left) and Louis Vuitton (right) designs.

Skins (for example reptile prints) are also trendy this fall (keep in mind that they don't need to
be real though). I actually bought a purse similar to the ones above when I was in Copenhagen
a few weeks ago, I really like it. These are Bottega Veneta (left) and Gucci (right) designs.

And stacked heels. Is there anyone who doesn't love this trend? They're beautiful and chic and they're easy
to walk in. It's a win-win! I love love love the Fendi heels (left) - there's even some color blocking going
on there; why not combine two trends, you know?! The Tommy Hilfiger shoes (right) are also very cool.
