Olivia Palermo launches her blog

With a staff of five full-timers, and 11 contributors, Olivia Palermo has finally launched her fashion 'blog'. In her opening note, the socialite welcomes readers of the site - called simply OliviaPalermo.com - with a mission statement: 'Providing a forum to express my fashion inspirations from across the globe, it is my goal to show that style is international.'

Using her access-all-areas pass to the most stylish hotspots across the globe, Palermo intends to unite local styles, hidden treasures and upcoming trends from London to New York and beyond - all in one accessible online spot.

Palermo's Tips from the Top so far include posts on how to style leather shorts ('Evoke your own sense of casual chic by throwing on top a comfortable tee'), where to go when in Milan (10 Corso Como, obv) and an insight into how New York Fashion Week began, for those who want to impress with a spot of fashion history trivia.
