Monday Muse: Jenna Lyons

Strong women are the best, and what's stronger than taking the reins and re-shaping a company and creating an entirely new lifestyle brand.

Jenna Lyons, is just that strong woman. Taking over at J. Crew and rejuvenating it into a brand and a lifestyle, in the meantime cultivating a following for herself that rivals the head of any other fashion label or store.

We love Jenna for her fearlessness. She always goes with her instincts and she rarely misses a step. She's the queen of mixing patterns and of looking ambiguously chic.

 The great thing about Ms. Lyons is that she sticks behind her brand. With her creative genius and ingenuity she was able to singlehandedly turn J. Crew into the juggernaut of style that it is today.

She's the effortlessly cool big sister who teaches you about all the coolest bands.

Oh and did we mention that this is what her closet looks like? SWOON!!

Monday Muse: Olivia Palermo

Olivia Palermo has always been the villain we loved to hate. As Whitney Port's snarky co-worker on The City, she was nothing short of perfection. Her outfits were always perfectly styled and her comebacks were always perfectly delivered.

After The City was cancelled (*tear*) we saw Olivia go from being the bad guy to the good girl, showing up on street style blogs and fashion shows all over the place. She's now doing her own thang as a model/actress/blogger. Her site www.oliviapalermo.com delivers amazing tips on getting Olivia's to-die-for style.

She's also been busy working on accessories lines and in the past had helped master shoe-maker Stuart Weitzman design a shoe for charity.

Check out after the jump for some VAM tips on looking every bit the perfect reality fashion villain like Olivia!
