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

FabSugar — Tue, 04 Sep 2007 15:00:12 PDT

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

FabSugar — Thu, 02 Aug 2007 00:02:19 PDT

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!

FabSugar — Thu, 31 May 2007 14:50:22 PDT

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

FabSugar — Mon, 21 May 2007 01:22:22 PDT

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?

The Olsens Set to Launch New Shopping Site, StyleMint

Chi Diem Chau — Thu, 07 Apr 2011 07:42:16 PDT

Hot off the heels of Kate Bosworth and Cher Coulter's JewelMint collaboration - a new-age personalized monthly membership shopping club that sends you suggestions based on a style quiz you take upon joining, similar to algorithms Pandora uses - Mary-Kate and Ashely Olsen are jumping on board with a similar concept called StyleMint, set to launch in July. "With StyleMint.com, Ashley and I have created an online experience reflecting our love of style and allowing us to engage with our customers directly, which is an inspiring new way for us to think and create as design," said Mary-Kate.

StyeMint will be made in collaboration with the same company who created JewelMint, BeachMint, and is set to feature an eight-piece, t-shirt collection – with the possibility of expanding into knits and sweaters in the future - which Mary-Kate and Ashley will help design and merchandise. The best part? Each piece retails for only $29.99. The duo are also set to create regular videos for the site, a treat since we hardly ever see the Olsens on camera, in addition to giving personal style tips and fashion advice. Owning an Olsen-designed piece for $30 is a deal, will you sign up when the site launches?
