Olivia demonstrating how to wear leather shorts.

Since Olivia Palermo stopped filming The City, almost a year ago, she’s mentioned plans to star in a new TV show and launch a fashion blog. While getting those going, she’s shot ads for Mango, guest judged for Project Runway and become the new face of Mediterráneo jewelry. But on Friday, she finally did launch that blog, called Olivia Palermo, with a staff of at least five full-timers and eleven contributors (including ELLE’s Kyle Anderson). Palermo opens the site with a note outlining her plans for the site, “Providing a forum to express my fashion inspirations from across the globe, it is my goal to show that style is international.” She says she’ll talk about her trips to London and Paris, her vintage finds and how to turn “jeans and a tee into a red-carpet worthy look on a daily basis.” So far, Palermo’s staff has posted rules for wearing leather shorts, “Add an element of surprise to an outfit by adding tailored feminine pieces like a gauzy button-down or a ruffled blouse,” and written in favor of the Stubbs and Wootton slipper over the ballet flat with this sort of strange disclaimer, “You can also choose to have your Stubbs & Wootton monogramed [sic] with your initials in silver or 18 karat gold. Just keep in mind, you’ll need to tell the boy you meet post-Block Party your real name now, or at least one that begins with the same letter.” Today, Palermo wrote about London Fashion Week and hinted at “a few projects that you’ll be seeing and reading about soon.” Have you read the site yet? What do you think?
