Less is more. That's the mantra Nicky was abiding by for last night's Final Destination LA premiere. Her strapless black satin LBD is adorable, and her favorite Very Prive Christian Louboutin pumps ($995) remind us Nicky's no good girl. She contrasted blinging diamond stud earrings with a silver knuckle ring for more devilish drama.

FabSugar — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 14:00:22 -0700

As you know, I am an optimist. Let's not dwell on August being Summer's last month. Instead, let's revel in it. My month is already packed with concerts, house parties, pool dates, weekend adventures, and active fun. I have begun thinking about my Fall wardrobe, therefore transitional pieces are top of mind. This geo print Mara Hoffman dress is the perfect perky purchase - I would totally wear it with tights and layers come Fall. It's all about optimism 'round here party people.

The Look For Less: Robert Lee Morris For Elizabeth and James Knuckle Ring

FabSugar — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 09:00:22 -0700

Show of hands: how many of you really badly wanted this funky Robert Lee Morris for Elizabeth and James Knuckle Ring ($195) but forced yourself to forget it due to the steep price? If you raised, then this is your lucky day, because there is an almost identical version of the ring for less than half the price. Sorry to do this to your business, MK and Ashley!

This TrendToGo Sterling Silver Knuckle Ring ($46-54) is slightly brighter and shinier than the Robert Lee Morris version, but it's also way more affordable. Its identical shape will likely make a passerby think you're wearing the real thing. Just get it quick before available sizes, six through 10, sell out.

The Look For Less: Robert Lee Morris for Elizabeth and James Cross Earrings

FabSugar — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 04:00:22 -0700

Robert Lee Morris and Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen partnered up to create a jewelry collection. Though I'm excited about the collaboration, I'm not thrilled about the prices - $65 to $700. I would definitely rock these cross earrings but I have a feeling they're going to be fairly pricey. Fortunately, other brands are also producing such earrings . . .

Though these Forever 21 Rhinestone Cross Earrings ($5) are packed with more bling than the Olsen version, they still convey the same holy message. They're more delicate but will add some pizzazz to a cool, androgynous outfit. Just be sure not to commit any sins while wearing them!

Fab Flash: More, More, More About Mary-Kate and Ashley's Elizabeth and James Jewelry

FabSugar — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 12:00:22 -0700

Start saving money - Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen's jewelry line is due to hit stores in September. The Robert Lee Morris for Elizabeth and James collection will consist of over 80 gold and silver pieces. Staying true to their unique style (see Mary-Kate's little bedecked hands below), look forward to seeing abstract earrings, necklaces, metal cuffs, and rings embellished with crosses and daggers along with beading.

Commenting on the collaborative collection, Ashley states, "We liked the idea of having playful elements along with timeless and ageless pieces. The symbols are attachable and you can take the jewelry and make it your own. There are solid silver and gold pieces to wear forever and comfort pieces that you'll put on and wear everywhere."

The pieces will retail from $65 to $700, and be sold at Intermix stores nationwide, Holt Renfrew, Lane Crawford, and On Pedder. The dynamic duo have also hinted to an upcoming shoe and bag collection. The suspense is killing me.

On Our Radar: Mary-Kate and Ashley Jewelry in the Works

FabSugar — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 04:00:22 -0700

First clothing lines The Row and Elizabeth and James and now a jewelry collection? The fashion gods must be listening! Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have teamed up with CFDA award-winning jewelry designer and sculptor Robert Lee Morris to create bling for the masses under a line dubbed Robert Lee Morris for Elizabeth and James. Well, the price point of the line will determine how much mass appeal it will have, but I can't wait to see the pieces. The trio has been hard at work for a few months, digging into archives in Morris' headquarters in downtown Manhattan. So what can we expect from the petite sisters? Why, nothing short of silver and brass dagger necklaces, knuckle rings, and cool earrings. Bring. It. On!

Be Influenced by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen This Holiday

FabSugar — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 04:30:22 -0800

In their New York Times bestseller Influence, which we've been raving about since day one, the sisters take us on a visual journey of people - photographers, designers, artists, writers, icons - who have influenced them. Considering the girls have already embarked on several successful fashion adventures: The Row, Elizabeth and James, Robert Lee Morris for Elizabeth and James jewelry, and soon-to-come Elizabeth and James shoes, I was curious to see what, and who, influences them.

The book is full of eye candy and insight into the lives of the two powerhouses. The photography and collage pages are brilliant. The Olsens conduct their own interviews with friends like Margherita Missoni, GIambattista Valli, John Galliano and each other. The book is fashion-heavy - it's fabulous. And, we are giving away eight autographed, yes autographed, copies so you too can experience Mary-Kate and Ashley's Influence.
