Elizabeth and James
Style Glossary: Shrug
Shrug
A cropped, cardigan-like garment with short or long sleeves, typically knitted. It usually covers less of the body than a vest would, but it is more tailored than a shawl. Some shrugs are tied together just below the bustline, while some are cut off at the sides, making them nothing more than a pair of sleeves joined at the back.

Elizabeth and James Shoes Online For the Taking!
I was fighting my inner demons in the Neiman's shoe department the other day (it's sale time), when I stumbled across a table of Elizabeth and James shoes.

Elizabeth and James's Fall Chill
It's all about Peter Pan and London life for Elizabeth and James. For Fall, Ashley and Mary-Kate are showcasing their men's line as well as their footwear collection in their imagery. I spy oversize blazers, worn-in stripes, lingerie-like florals, the perfect minimal black pants, and a saucy pair of sculptured shows for the girls.
Fab Finding Follow-Up: Midnight Bowling Madness
Last weekend, I entertained my friends with my bowling skills, or rather, my lack thereof. After a late dinner, we headed over to the local alley for some midnight bowling. Once the clock struck 12, the bright lights turned off, the parents went home, and the big kids came out and played.
Celebrity Style: Mary-Kate Olsen
In case you haven't heard, Miss Mary-Kate is a juror for the Tribeca Film Festival.
