A while ago I said I hated taupe. Times change. I especially thought it wasn't a flattering color on blondes. Put two adorably stylish blond twins in taupe together and you have this week's Fab favorite. Mary-Kate and Ashley have been about town(s) promoting their book Influence. This week they were autographing books at Borders in Brentwood, CA. As expected, they complement each other while maintaining their individual styles. But this time they taught me to love a color I once dismissed. That, is the power of the Olsen.Ashley, always the slightly sleeker, wore a leather mini, a dark sweater, and a lush taupe velvet jacket. I adore the jacket; it's slightly vampy, entirely luxe. Mary-Kate loosened up in a silky taupe utilitarian dress cinched with a bright red belt. She loaded on jewelry to add some boho flavor. Both went the exposed leg route, better to show off their edgy shoes. Ashley in the new YSL double platform shoe-to-have and Mary-Kate in Proenza Schouler cut-out booties. I wonder if they still play sisterly dress up and get ready together — looks like it!

Even though you're all grown up, memories of gramps remain strong. He's been around the block, and doesn't like to shop, therefore he's a tough present candidate. Here's where you can come to his rescue with fresh new, manly cozies — things like slippers, sweaters, belts, and socks. These all may sound generic, but they're classics that, when picked out by you, are anything but boring.

I can see why lace-up boots are still going strong. The witchy vibe perfectly complements any Fall ensemble. Picture these Nine West Zayit Boots ($100, originally $189) with cropped black skinnies and an oversized sweater. Cozy and cunning. I already own a pair, but this deal is too good to pass up!

Spotted: Victoria and little Cruz showing off their holiday spirit in LA. While the wee one rocked a festive Santa hat — Lil can break his outfit down to you — Victoria kept it posh in a hunter green suede dress. Though hard to come by, these sumptuous frocks are well worth the search. Word to the wise: Vintage shops are a cheap alternative to paying exuberant retail prices. I found my vintage suede Yves Saint Laurent dress at a local consignment store for only $30 dollars — score!

In yet another gorgeous look from the episode, Jennifer Aniston (as Claire Harper) shines in a shimmery gold dress from Herve Leger. The dress is such a knock-out that she paired little else with it. Shop her black wool coat (similar to the one she had on before she revealed her dress) and a couple of complementary accessories now.

Jennifer Aniston wears a bevy of beautiful looks during her guest stint on 30 Rock. In this particular scene she pairs a gorgeous black halter dress (shop the Ralph Lauren version) with a skinny black belt and a men's-inspired watch. She kicks up her feet without shoes, but these Manolos complement the outfit perfectly.
