“A watch is so much more than a way to tell time,” explains Olivia Palermo, who is an official “Friend of the Brand” for Swiss watchmaker Gerald Charles (as is her husband, Johannes Huebl). “Watches can mark a milestone, be passed down through generations or just be a beautifully crafted accessory that says something about your personal style.” Palermo’s sartorial approach — which she describes to Alexa as “polished, eclectic and always evolving” — enamors nearly 10 million followers across her socials. “I love mixing classic pieces with something unexpected, playing with proportion, texture and accessories,” says the beauty and fashion entrepreneur, who recently collaborated with luxury interior design site Perigold to furnish her immaculate, 3,000-square-foot Tribeca home. “For me, style is really about knowing what works for you while still having fun with fashion.” Here are some of Palermo’s latest objects of affection.
“This watch was a very special gift for my birthday, so it holds a lot of meaning for me. I was immediately drawn to the rose gold. It’s one of those pieces I know I’ll treasure for years.”
“The structure and craftsmanship of this bag make it feel incredibly timeless, and its simplicity means I can carry it with almost everything.”
“Something feminine and effortless, like a midi or maxi dress, is always my go-to. It can so easily transition from day to evening. I’m obsessed with this one.”
“My dear friend Thierry Wasser of Guerlain creates the most incredible scents, and this one is particularly special. It’s rich and sophisticated without feeling overwhelming.”
“The ideal jeans should be easy to wear and go with everything. These are flattering and can be worn with a cozy knit or dressed up with a blazer and heels.”
“Charlotte Tilbury makeup feels polished but never overdone — which is exactly how I prefer to approach beauty (and lipstick!).”
“For fall, you really can’t go wrong with cashmere.”
“I’m always drawn to fashion, photography and interiors. Assouline coffee table books are just as wonderful to display as they are to sit down and look through.”
“With fine hair, I’m particular about what I use. When I need something clarifying, I turn to my dear friend David Mallett. His products are perfection and have been part of my routine for years.”
“A sculptural vase can completely change a room. I gravitate toward pieces that add warmth without making a space feel overly decorated.”
“Canine Styles, where Mongshell Tong Tong (my Pomeranian) is groomed in Manhattan, has the best dog wardrobe I’ve ever seen. Their cashmere collection in particular is absolute perfection.”
“Casadei always gets the silhouette right. These are such a chic statement for fall and can completely transform a look.”
