Elizabeth and James Glam Jacket: Love It or Hate It?

So, I'm thinking the Olsens must have been looking to the abominable snowman for inspiration on this one.

So, I'm thinking the Olsens must have been looking to the abominable snowman for inspiration on this one. The white shaggy goat fur on this Elizabeth and James Glam Jacket, $995, definitely screams more "Yeti" than anything else to me.

Also, there's the separate consideration that the jacket is made out of goat fur, and I'm not sure I'm comfortable with the idea of anything getting my goat. What about you?

Compare & Contrast: Ashley & Mary-Kate Olsen

Forgive me for sounding like a broken record, but Ashley and Mary-Kate are serious style icons in the making.

Forgive me for sounding like a broken record, but Ashley and Mary-Kate are serious style icons in the making. We should look to them for inspiration whenever we can because they really are designer muses; it is wise to follow their dramatic trends-in-the-making choices. Though there are favorite similarities (shoes!) between the avant-garde sisters, they do use different approaches to dressing. Ashley's look is more streamlined and modern, while MK's is more tousled and vintage-inspired. I thought it would be fun to compare and contrast the recent outfits they wore while shopping at Maxfields in Los Angeles. Both are edgy, both are Fab, but which do you identify with more?

Top: Leave it to Ash to make a black scarf and a men’s t-shirt look androgynous chic!

Bottom: Black cigarette jeans are always
flattering.

Accessories: The Fendi bag reinforces her sleek look by adding clean lines. Those Alaia platforms are killer! The dramatic straps make the shoes the focus of the outfit. I’m guessing that was her intention. The bulky watch compliments her boyish look and her modern aviators are bad ass.

Top: It’s no surprise MK is wearing a voluminous cardigan as a dress; she can get away with it because it’s loose and she’s petite.

Bottom: Non existent. But props to her for letting her skinny stems breathe!

Accessories: Her Prada fringe bag adds some much-needed texture to her otherwise simple outfit. Her patent mule Loubs are very old Hollywood and the traditional aviators are classic.

Fab Flash: Another New Clothing Line for MK and Ashley!

Good news for all of you Mary-Kate and Ashley fashion fans!

Good news for all of you Mary-Kate and Ashley fashion fans! Now that they have the luxury market covered with The Row, Mary-Kate and Ashley have announced the launch of a new contemporary sportswear line, Elizabeth and James, coming out this Fall.

The line is named after their siblings and will include blazers, washed leather jackets, military-inspired tops, shrunken tees, oversize tees, pencil skirts, cashmere sweaters, fur jackets, and cashmere coats, all playing with a masculine/feminine theme. There will also be silk dresses and a sequined minidress inspired by one of Mary-Kate's vintage finds. The collection will be sold at Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman Marcus, and Intermix, with a price range of $40-$452 - making it slightly more affordable than The Row. Exciting!

Battle of the Chanel: Olsen vs. Olsen

Here we have both of the enigmatic Olsen twins fully decked in Chanel.

Here we have both of the enigmatic Olsen twins fully decked in Chanel. To me, there is a clear winner: Ashley (right). I love the peekaboo effect of being buttoned up and swimming in two-tone chains on top and showing off perfect legs on bottom. And those shoes? Fierce. As for Mary-Kate (left), she's swimming in her Chanel, not that I wouldn't mind swimming in Chanel, but you know what I mean. Oh but I love her little black-and-white spiral clutch! Which blonde twin has the most fab Chanel ensemble?
