Novelty is Always Cool.

10Apr 2010

Budding style icon, New York socialite and star of The City Olivia Palermo shares her fashion and style choices with VOGUE.COM every day for the month of April.

Sometimes I even wonder at myself why I can never stop buying clothes, shoes and stuff (meaning accessories and all kinds of other fashion faves.

The thing is, novelty is always fresh, exciting and addictive. Especially when it comes to fashion.

There are just so many styles to experiment with, so many different looks to play around, and new things are always coming up to entice needs and wants. Call it the power of marketing, consumerism, the influence and impact of Capitalism, whatever. But we (especially girls) simply enjoy this process of CONSUMING these desirables.

And I’m sure some guys HAVE to agree with that as well.

People who stay at the Thompson Toronto shouldn’t throw stones—the hotel, opening in May, is almost entirely glass, a glistening prism in the palm of King West. Guests with haute expectations won’t be let down: Suites are sleek and roomy, lounges abound, and the signature resto is none other than Scarpetta (imported from N.Y.). But we’re into the sweeter, homier things: a 24-hour diner, a 40-seat movie theatre and Javier Mariscal’s hand-painted mural of our own dear skyline. – Fashionmagazine.com

I love hotel stays – talk about the real luxury ones!
