Olivia Palermo Reveals Her Zara Shopping Strategy

If you pay close attention to Olivia Palermo's style, you know that she loves a good bargain buy. Specifically, she's been spotted in stylish Zara pieces numerous times. Whether she's on the red carpet in a suit by the retailer or running errands in a $40 Zara blouse, she has proven to be a major fan of everyone's favorite fast-fashion haunt. Now, thanks to Palermo's interview with InStyle, we learned some insight into her Zara shopping strategy.
Talking about how she's mastered the art of packing for a trip, Palermo said that she doesn't stress about it too much because she always has a fail-safe plan B. "And you know what? I realized that wherever I go, I can stop in at Zara," Palermo told InStyle. "There's always a backup. Sometimes it's nice to travel light because you never know what you might find to bring home." We have to agree: It's always a good idea to treat yourself to a shopping spree on your vacation, right?

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern in 2011—back when the site only published a single story per day. (We have since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC and lives in Los Angeles. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2015, where she is now the Associate Director of Fashion News. From the Oscars to the Met Gala, she leads the site's entire red carpet coverage strategy. She specializes in celebrity and fashion news but also enjoys writing travel features and runway reports. She frequently contributes to WWW's social accounts and has a sizable following on her personal TikTok.
