Olsen 'Pic' of the Day: Mary-Kate in LA with Beau Max...Rocking the Long Scarf and Prada Fringe Bag

Mary-Kate in LA yesterday with beau Max.

Love the long scarf look. Adore the faded black skinnies..I think they have zippers, which is doubly cool (and also makes them possible to get on, while still giving you the max thinness at the ankle!). Love aviator Ray-Bans (these are the smaller frame version) but not such a fan of the blue/purple tinted lens... and speaking of I have a few pairs of Ray Ban Wayfarers to feature on Steal my Clothes! Also, personally, have never been a huge fan of the upper arm cuff...I just think its uncomfortable and looks weird. She's still working the strappy sandal/heels and Prada fringe purse. Me: not so much buying into the fringe trend...its never been much my style, looks cute on her though.

Jessica Simpson Shines Last Weekend in Hollywood

Jessica Simpson this past weekend in Hollywood, dinner with Ken Paves. Jess is looking soooo much better than recent pics in the last few weeks. Not sure I like the dress that much, but her hair looks great, and the smoky eyes and pinky/pale lipstick are a total hit. The color seems to be a bit lighter than the darker shades we were seeing last month and it really brightens up her whole look. Yay Jess, keep it UP!!

Olsen 'Pic' of the Day: Ashley in Beverly Hills

Ashley yesterday in Beverley Hills. Cute sandal/heels.


Great shot of the new heels.

Still sporting the Givenchy 'Nightingale' Bag. Gotta love Ashley for that consistency, she has said that she finds a bag she loves and wears it to death, then moves on to a new one...doing that a few times a year.

I have lots of beautiful bags but it seems most of the time I go out the door with my LV Speedy 40, its huge (yes I picked the enormous size that some people don't even know exists, as I said before, for me: bigger=better), water resistant, practical and beautiful, plus I figure it has the least chance of getting stolen, with all the fakes in NYC, I assume those not really in the know would figure it was fake anyway and not bother!

Tell me do you use the same bag daily or switch it up often?

Olsen 'Pic' of the day: Ashley in Soho, NYC

Ashley in Soho this past Saturday. Looks like she was making her usual Wolford run. I know I've mentioned Wolford's a million times before...but if you want a nice luxury fix for under a 100$, maybe even 50$ (depending on the style) then picking up a gorgeous pair of Wolford tights is a must. I would also suggest Fogal, another one of my favourites.

Olsen 'Pic's of the day: Mary Kate in LA

The return of the plaid shirt. Different Plaid shirt, same theme. Love this look.

MK last week in LA. Funny I just bought a great pair of red leopard-print vintage 80's skinny jeans just like the pattern she's holding (a scarf I believe...). Love, love the shoes, tho I couldn't wear them myself without falling over!!

Style File: Amanda Bynes, Blonder and Looking Way Hot!

Amanda Bynes, last night at Mr. Chow, loving the new blonder 'do. Adorable dress, really working the higher waist. She looks, just totally Fab.

Jessica Simpson in High-Waist pants!

These are so cute, maybe pants, maybe lighter-weight jeans? The pockets appear to have ruched stitching. Love it!

Olsen 'Pic' of the day: Ashley in L.A.

Ashley in LA yesterday.

Ahhh, that bag. We love how Ash finds a bag she adores and sticks with it. That's definitely wise advice for those of us on a budget. Much better to splurge on one beautiful thing (an investment) and use it often than many cheap pieces which will be trashed and out of style in a few months. And speaking of great investment pieces, my Morabito is officially, really and truly actually ready. Mr. Artbag called this morning to tell me she was ready to come home. I will post pics soon.

P.S. love the skirt.

Ta girls...off to the Upper East Side.

Olsen 'Pic' of the Day: MK leaves Maxfield's

MK leaving Maxfield's on Thursday.

The outfit is a bit too Rock n Roll for me, especially with the torn seams of the skirt/long t-shirt, but other elements are par for the course great; ie the tights, delicate layering, heels and subtle variation in shades of black.

Really love the gold touches, the Rolex, and studded belt.

We love Olsen style.

Enjoy!

Olsen 'Pic' of the day

MK, yesterday leaving a studio in NYC.

Love navy blue with black (I know it used to be a don't way back when, but whatever) and the use of layering here is very delicate with the shorter shirt over the leggings/tights...and of course great heels. Blazers are one of my big staples, and navy with gold detailing (buttons are best) makes a small but beautiful impact.

Ashley Olsen in Color?

Wait, is that Ash wearing color???

Style Review: Miss Simpson and the Olsens

Nay:
Ugh, please stop with the mish-mashed together sloppy look, and please, please STOP with the weird long skirts. Its just yuck. Personally I usually love both 'rag-tag' Olsen style and the Jessica Simpson 'sexylook', but these recent departures are just a big NO in my book. At least in both cases there is a beautiful bag for some redeeming value.


JS down under last week w/ boy-toy John Mayer.



Ashley shopping at Maxfield's in West Hollywood yesterday.



Yay.
How we like to see our stars...well-dressed and inspirational.


Ashley house-hunting in Beverley Hills Thursday. Love the boots and you can't go wrong with black tailored pants/leggings. The scarf is interesting and she wears it artistically.


With JM in January. Love this look, much more polished and 'put' together rather than 'thrown' together.


In Italy last month. Not the best she has looked by far, but way better than those long skirt clingy things she has been sporting as of late...things just seem to be going downhill fashion-wise with JM in her inner circle. Like the blond hair much better. We want the old Jess back. Whah.

P.S. I don't mean to pick on these two, there are obviously FAR worse fashion "no's" to focus on in the celebrity world (hello Britney, we are talking to you), but normally I admire these girl's style...and well Britney, she never had any style to begin with...

Olsen 'Pic of the Day'-Part 2

Leaving a photo shoot in NYC Tuesday. Ahhh, that bag, I love it so much, I can't take it!! The Jacket is very cool too. Like the drape. Speaking of, was in Burberry yesterday to get my trench repaired and couldn't help but try on some of the new pieces. OMG, there is the most beautiful new 'casual' trench that just came in (in some ways similar to the one above, though more tailored). I LOVE it, its very fresh, young and modern. Called the 'Richelle', comes in khaki and black, though I prefer the Khaki because you can see the detailing more effectively. Unfortunately I can't find a picture anywhere, maybe because its so new? It has almost a bubble shape to it, with a drawstring around the hem, so you can really play with the shape, the sleeves have stitching at the elbows that forms to the arm to really flatter and elongate that arm and the pockets have a wonderful ruched stitching making them very feminine and girly. Its on the shorter side which looks great with jeans and very flirty. Plus its incredibly light-weight, so it's wonderful to travel with or to throw in your bag and take with you when you know the weather is going to change later in the day. Its 695$ here in the US, which for a Burberry trench is on the lower end of the price-scale (this is obviously because of the light-weight material--polyester)....I am going to keep my eye out for any cheaper takes on it at H&M, Zara etc....because it is so lovely...but I can't quite justify getting another trench.

Olsen 'Pic of the Day'

Ashley Olsen leaving Starbucks (what a surprise!?) in West Hollywood yesterday. Love the Chanel wallet, technically it can double as a clutch if you only carry a few things...skinny lippie, cards, moola, keys w/o key-chain....Notice the wide-leg on the jeans. Seeeee its back! Yay, variety.

Olsen 'Pics of the day' and Going the Way of Annie Hall, Wide-Leg, High-Waisted Pants

Ashley earlier in the week in LA. Still loving the black look. Still adore the bag.


MK yesterday in LA. Sporting a decidedly different look than that as of late (for the record though, she has worn these pants earlier in the year, see photo below). Trouser pants are in. They have been on the radar since last spring, but I have not seen many sporting the look. They were seen all over the runway. Higher waists and wider legs. I love this look (tho I still love skinny jeans) and it definitely gives a more equal opportunity wearing option for all body types. Definitely more forgiving. I recently got a beautiful pair of vintage French wool trousers in Maroon. I love the trouser look. What do you all think?
PS I want a gold Rolex too.

MK earlier in the year.
