Mixed Media: Olivia Palermo's Cozy Knit and Leather Leggings Look for Less

Olivia Palermo Look for Less
Playing with layers and textures has never looked so fab! Olivia Palermo perfectly demonstrated how to make liquid leggings casual-chic by pairing them with an oversized cowl-neck sweater, double-breasted gilet, boyfriend peacoat, comfy high-tops and a patterned bag. I love that Olivia stuck with a neutral palette for this look, utilizing black, cream, brown and an olive green...it makes the sheen of the leggings and the bright white of her sweater really stand out. I'm also inspired to play with my outerwear after seeing how she layered the wool vest and overcoat. Not only is it super cozy, it's on-trend and adds a unique style element to any ensemble. Read on to see my favorite peacoat-style gilet for layering and the rest of Olivia's look for less..

Luxe in Leopard: Nicky Hilton Rothschild's Faux-Fur Coat and Leather Leggings Look for Less

Nicky Hilton Rothschild
Leopard may be a neutral, but that doesn't mean it can't make a bold statement. Nicky Hilton Rothschild shows us just how fierce an outfit can be when using one animal-inspired piece. I love how the print stands out against her all-black ensemble and the faux fur is on trend for winter. Her accessories, in coordinating black and gold tones, accent the spots and highlighted hues in the faux-fur and really pull the whole look together. Her exact coat was from Topshop and sold out right before the holidays, but we found a near match with Via Spiga's Cheetah Print coat — on sale for $119! Read on to get the look for less...
