Risk Taker: Olivia Palermo + NYC Top Shop Holiday Event

I'm a big fan of The City and always have been a huge fan of The Hills. So when I heard Olivia Palermo was coming to Top Shop for the Holiday Styling event I was stoked! (Olivia was technically the rival of Whitney Port on The City.) Although she appeared to be a manipulating person on television she was really sweet to everyone at the event.

At the event Olivia Palermo discussed her favorite holiday looks (that she styled) and mentioned her new website. Overall I liked all the looks but I wish she would have had more of an explanation of why she put pieces together instead of how. I wish she would have gone in depth of what to wear to a certain event like Christmas party, family gathering, etc. She was really sweet though and surprisingly shy. I was expecting her to be taller. She was, I say, a head taller than me. She's really petite and I'm actually glad to know that. When the audience was given the opportunity to ask questions she responded so politely. I also was lucky enough to run into a popular blogger Natalie from Natalie Off Duty! Check out her blog here.

RUNWAY FEVER: Tight Rope!

Most of the time I wear skirts because I'm not a fan of pants. I don't know why but pants make me feel fat. It's also really hard to find the perfect pair. I think this is a universal issue though. In order to transition into colder weather I usually slip on a pair of tights. I try to have one in every color so that I can always keep warm and still look fashionable. I recently purchased these House of Holland tights from Top Shop!



About 24.00 which you can purchase here. I've always been a fan of House of Holland but never had the money to purchase anything. Simply because when I had the money I would have to pay bills, etc. But I'm so glad I decided to cop these! They are adorable and I get so many compliments when wearing them. Worth my money. The only issue I had with the tights is the color. I thought the tights were a nude color but they are actually a little paler than my skin tone. I can still pull them off but if you are tan then these wouldn't work for you. This would be a really great gift idea for Christmas if your friend, sister, gf, (you know the rest) love collecting tights.

Browsing through the blogging community I came across this brand of tights called Bebaroque. They are a little more on the pricey side but are a great investment for you serious tight shoppers! I love the detail and creative edge of these tights. They seem to be of high quality which is great because you want to get the most of your tights. They range from $40-$600.

These are my favorites:
