Buy the LookMia Jacket Logo Blazer in Black

Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen seen on Oct 07 2008 in London, England. So much for the rumors! I am totally reading Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen's body language here, and they are totally sending out the we're-stronger-than-ever vibe. Posing at the London debut of their Elizabeth and James line at Selfridges last night, October 7, MK&A look edgy, youthful, and overall: to die for. The girls stuck to a darker color palate, mixing leather with a play on showing some skin (trust me, this is showing skin for them). MK started with a pair of over-the-knee leather boots, and working her way up, wore an oversized blazer (like Signorelli's Logo Blazer in Black) and sheer scarf. Love the new hair, too! Ashley started with black latex leggings and a sexy corset top, paired with a black coat (like Ecoganik's Mia Jacket) and architectural heels. They always turn it out. While the girls are currently building their empire overseas, it seems that there have been reports lately that the girls have upset their New York City neighbors with their loud partying antics. Allegedly, the girls' constant bodyguard and paparazzi presence upsets the neighborhood's residents, as well as the twins partying late into the night. The twins' rep told OK! Magazine "If there were significant issues, you'd think the neighbors would address Mary-Kate or Ashley directly, rather than calling the media." Oh snap!

Buy the LookWinged Tee in Black Kenna Scoop T Baroque Floral Scarf in Blue Hockney Mini Skirt Lion Ring in Gold

Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen seen on Sep 23 2008 in West Hollywood, CA. Mary-Kate Olsen was photographed leaving the Neil George Salon in West Hollywood on September 23, and I must say... I haven't seen her hair this blonde (or washed and combed!) in a long time! I love the length and the textured layers- lookin' good, MK! For a similar outfit to her kickaround-town look, make sure to keep one word in mind: layers. Start with an oversized black tee (like Signorelli's Winged Tee in Black) and layer over another white tee (take a look at Rails' Kenna Scoot Tee in White)- make sure to get both of these in large, girls! Next, pick up a black skirt (Laura Dahl's Hockney Mini Skirt in Black is an interesting option) and a vintage pair of biker boots, and don't forget the accessories. MK chose a long, purple patterned scarf (Alchemy's Baroque Floral Scarf in Blue has a gorgeous pattern) and Ray-Ban aviators for the day, and finished everything off with a huge gold statement ring (I'm loving Rachel Leigh's Lion Ring in Gold). While this outfit is nothing new or special, MK always works it out, even if it's hard to see exactly what she's wearing! While the girls have pretty much already taken over the fashion universe (with their two lines, Elizabeth and James and The Row, their upcoming jewelry line, and their enviable status as modern-day style icons), it seems that their takeover is not complete yet. The girls are set to launch their own shoe line, also named Elizabeth and James, in collaboration with Steve Madden, Ltd. Ashley says, "Mary-Kate and I found Steve Madden to truly understand our design philosophy and how we want this brand to grow over the coming years. They have the resources and talent to help execute our vision for the Elizabeth and James brand." MK chimed in, saying, "We are excited to partner with Steve Madden to create the new Elizabeth and James footwear line. With their proven experience in all aspects of design, production and distribution, we intend to take the contemporary shoe market to a new level." Since they are working with Steve Madden, the shoes shouldn't be outrageously expensive, but I do have to wonder what the price point will be. What do you think- are you excited by the news of the twins' upcoming footwear collection?

Buy the LookSiva Cocktail Dress Rene Mini Dress in Black Cord Bracelet with Charms Catalina Bag in Tan Pearl

Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen seen on Sep 07 2008 in New York, NY. Ashley Olsen made a stunningly chic and sophisticated appearance at Calvin Klein's 40th Anniversary Celebration in NYC on September 7, looking every inch fresh and age appropriate. Wearing a black and white dress (Tricia Fix makes two similar frocks, the Siva Cocktail Dress in White and the Rene Mini Dress in Black, both of which give off the Ashley Olsen slash CK vibe) with black patent t-strap stilettos, Ash accessorized with a gold watch and matching bracelet (check out Accessories & Beyond's Cord Bracelet with Charms in Gold) and a cream colored bag (like Posse New York's Catalina Bag in Tan Pearl). I'm also loving the slightly mussed hair with the nude lip and dark eye- she definitely knocked it out of the park with this one. Bananas. In other Olsen news, it seems that Ash and MK are possibly feuding over their fashion line, The Row. In Touch Weekly reports, "Ashley really wants to be a respected businesswoman and be taken seriously. MK does too, but she hasn’t been willing to give up her lifestyle and act like an adult for their job. So Ashley is now distancing her twin from the couture line. She reportedly decided MK should not be involved with The Row and has asked her to step back from her current responsibilities until she has her personal life together." The source adds that Mary-Kate will focus on Elizabeth and James, which "is tough because The Row was so much of Mary-Kate’s idea. Mary-Kate has a unique fashion sense." What are your thoughts on this alleged rift? On a side note, The Row is starting the process of their first men's collection. Wahoo for me!

Buy the LookKeats Jacket Cinderella Leather Bracelet in Pink Forget Me Knot Bracelet in Black

Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen seen on Sep 04 2008 in New York, NY. Not one to attend too many events, tiny twin Mary-Kate Olsen was spotted at the Pre-Fashion Week Dazed & Confused Magazine MINI Rooftop NYC Bash on September 4, looking fairly conservative (for her!). In a black coat (check out Laura Dahl's Keats Jacket in Noir) and black stilettos, MK accessorized with tons of bracelets (like Accessories & Beyond's Cinderella Leather Bracelet in Pink and Brian Nagourney Jewelry's Forget Me Knot Bracelet in Black) and a funky, red and grey fringed bag. Looks like 'lil MK got a haircut and some waves, too! What do you think of her look here- is she rockin' it, or do you expect a little more fashion forward edge from Mary-Kate? At the event, MKO was spotted drinking a beer and swaying to the sounds of MGMT, meeting up with friends that showed up later. Sounds like fun! In other Mary-Kate news, it seems that rumors are spreading that she cheated on her latest beau, Nate Lowman, with none other than Jonah Hill! A source says, "Olsen and Hill were spotted getting cozy at Los Angeles' Château Marmont hotel on Aug. 26- just one night after the famous twin stepped out to a rock concert with beau Nate Lowman. It was a shock to see Mary-Kate together with, of all people, geeky Jonah. Mary-Kate and Jonah sat close together and seemed totally into each other. They were both wearing plaid shirts that almost matched. It was the cutest thing. I'm sure Nate would have been floored to see the spectacle - the poor guy is being two-timed." Ouch! I wonder if there's any truth to this sighting?

Buy the LookCanyon Country Hooded Shirt in Brown Patent Leather Ricky Bag Rectangle Ring in Silver Amethyst Bracelet in Gold

Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen seen on Aug 25 2008 in Hollywood, CA. Look who stepped out of the 1992 time machine! It's little Mary-Kate Olsen at the Radiohead concert at the Hollywood Bowl on August 25. In a pantless homage to 90's grunge, MKO picked an oversized flannel shirt (check out 3J Workshop's embroidered Canyon Country Hooded Shirt in Brown) with sandals and a black bag (similar to Lesa Wallace Handbags' Patent Leather Ricky Bag in Noir). Accessory wise, she stuck to the usual suspects: oversized rings (like Femme Metale's Rectangle Ring in Silver) and tons of bracelets (I love the pretty simplicity of Jewel by Bear's Amethyst Bracelet in Gold). Weren't your legs a little cold though, MK? I know that I have posted this Mary-Kate quote before, but I came across it again recently and thought that it might be relevant again today. When asked about what she would like to but can't due to the pressures of fame, MK replied, "I would love to be able to swim in the ocean in Malibu. But that is asking for a bikini shot. That’s inviting something that I don’t want to happen. I don’t need to be on a Who’s Skinny, Who’s Fat, Who’s Looking Healthy, Who’s Not Eating?’ list." While I do have the tendency to feel bad for her, a prisoner of her fame, on the other hand... she can go cry into her billions of dollars! But, we all know money doesn't buy happiness (temporary happiness, yes... but not deep down happiness), what are your thoughts on that quote?

Buy the LookBiella Wool Trench Coat in Black Basic Tee Alex Skinny Zip Crop Jean in Neo Tulsa

Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen seen on Aug 21 2008 in New York, NY. Ashley Olsen was spotted leaving a NYC Starbucks with a Passion iced-tea and a male friend on August 21. For her look, Ash was seen in an unseasonably warm wool trench coat (check out Suzabelle's Biella Wool Trench Coat in Black) over a grey tee (similar to P.G.D. Style's Basic Tee in Clay) and dark wash skinny crop denim (James Jeans' Alex Skinny Crop Jean in Neo Tulsa). Letting her hair flow free in the wind, Ashley accessorized with an oversized pair of shades and simple black sandals (check out Matiko Footwear's Katia Sandal in Black). Wonder what's in the bright blue plastic bag of hers? Hmmm... food for thought! While the twins have been keeping a low profile as of late, they are definitely gearing up for a publicity onslaught in the very near future, with the release of their book, "Influences." In the meantime, People Magazine reports that Ashley and low-key boyfriend Justin Bartha were spotted "snuggling over margaritas and guacamole at Dos Caminos SoHo with boyfriend Justin Bartha. The happy couple sat on the same side of their booth and watched the Olympics together on television." How cute! That is such an adorable mental picture. What do you think- have you been keeping up with the Olympics?

Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen seen on Aug 16 2008 in New York, NY. Mary-Kate Olsen was spotted out and about in New York's East Village on Saturday, August 16, with her rumored new beau, Nate Lowman, looking at ease and seeming to not mind the shutterbugs snapping away. Sporting her signature plaid (snag 3J Workshop's San Simeon Shirt in Pink in a large and tie it sloppily around your waist a la Olsen), Mary-Kate wore a floral mini with a black sweater (like Qi's Chiffon Cardigan in Black) and flat black boots as she strolled along. Accessory wise, MK chose oversized rings (Femme Metale's Koi Ring in Sterling Silver is just the right size), an armful of bracelets and a black bag (similar to Rough Roses' Whitney Tote in Black) for her day out. Classic MKO! It seems like almost every star has an ex-bodyguard who eventually ends up talking to the press, and Mary-Kate's former henchman is no exception. The National Enquirer (remember the source here, people) is speaking out about the tiny twin's former partying habits, saying, "MK and friends were all at a party together. Then there were her friends who definitely did drugs. I especially remember three hangers-on, two guys and a girl. I would call them drug dealers. I saw them with cocaine, and they also tried to provide it to other people. I also saw them with 'Pures,' which are tablets like Ecstasy." He continued, "Because she’s so tiny, a little booze would have a big effect on her. Colleagues told me that on at least two occasions she had so much to drink that she had to be carried to her car. Even in high school, she liked to drink vodka with fruit juice or mixer. Mary-Kate would get so blasted that her sister Ashley would pull her aside and tell her to stop." MK is young and likes to party and sometimes gets a little carried away, is anyone surprised by this? Not me!

Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen seen on Jul 28 2008 in Los Angeles, CA. The eternally disheveled and eternally fantastic Mary-Kate Olsen was seen out and about in Los Angeles yesterday, July 28, toting along a bottle of Smartwater to stay hydrated during her errands. For her 'fit, MKO chose a patterned top (Parameter's Print Top with Beads in Black and White has a similar pattern) with her cutoff denim shorts (the wash is similar in Joe's Jeans' Braided 5 Pocket Short in Berkley) and a black sweater tied around her waist. MK slipped on a pair of silver aviators (like JeeVice Optics' Crybaby II Sunglasses in Silver) as well as a pair of heavy-duty mid-calf leather sandals and matching black leather bag (check out Lesa Wallace Handbags' Ricki Bag in Black) for her day on the town. In other Mary-Kate news, it seems that the tiny twin is in hot water for totally changing the kitchen of one of her homes and never returning it to its original state. The $15,000/month house is located above the Sunset Strip in Los Angeles, and the owner of the property claims that MK left the kitchen a "disaster." Since Mary-Kate failed to return the kitchen to it's original state, it seems that the owner decided to pocket her $30k security deposit. Drinks on him!

Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen seen on Jul 13 2008 in Hollywood, CA. Mary-Kate Olsen was spotted out and about in Hollywood on July 13, once again rocking her notorious sky-high black patent leather Chanel gladiator boots. I love these and totally think that MK pulls them off (but then again, what doesn't she pull off?), but I know many of you out there might not agree. What are your thoughts on these statement shoes- love 'em or hate 'em? For the rest of her outfit, MK started with a black oversized blazer (check out Signorelli's Logo Blazer in Black) and a patterned silk top (check out Hope & Glorie's fun Keyhole Top in Black and Ivory) exposing just a peek of her lacy bra, paired with her vintage denim cutoffs (I would suggest starting with a great light wash pair of jeans, like Joe's Jeans' Stardust Flare Jean in Berkley, grabbing a pair of scissors and going to town right at mid-thigh, so that they don't turn into booty shorts) and the Chanel boots. She finished her look off with a black belt (Rough Roses' Contour Belt with Stitching in Black is similar) and a ton of gold necklaces (like Maya Brenner Designs' Jewelry Box Necklace in Vermeil). While we all know that MK has a scene in her new film The Wackness where she makes out with Ben Kingsley, I didn't know that the smooching scene was so easy for her! She is speaking out about filming the lip lock, saying, "It is all part of being an actress. But I was so in awe of Sir Ben I was more nervous about acting alongside him than I was about the kiss." MK and Ghandi, sitting in a tree, k-i-s-s-i-n-g!

Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen seen on Jun 26 2008 in New York, NY. I just realized that I never got around to posting this sighting of Mary-Kate Olsen arriving at "Letterman" on June 26 in NYC when the now infamous MK vs. Spencer Pratt moment went down! For her late-night talk show appearance, Mary-Kate chose an oversized black frock (similar to Kelly Cushing's Kimono Sleeve Dress in Black, and for a short sleeve, embroidered version, take a look at Gold Hawk's Short Sleeve V-Neck Dress in Onyx Black) with Loubous and a black and gold studded belt (like Rough Roses' Four Row Studded Belt in Black). I'm also loving MK's singular fishtail braid. I smell a trend girls! In related MKO news, it seems that the tiny mogul has been especially buddy-buddy with supermodel Jessica Stam lately, who Mary-Kate sees as a positive influence. A source tells Fox News, "Olsen spent the Fourth of July with Stam in the Hamptons and after happily chowing down at the model’s private barbecue, the girls headed over to another private grill-out at the Estate in Sag Harbor just before midnight." The source then added, "I’ve never seen Mary-Kate in such good spirits, and she didn’t look anything like her old emaciated self. She refused even a drop of alcohol and stuck totally to Snapple antioxidant water."" Good for her! I love Stam, and I love MK, so let's hope this friendship last longer than a New York Minute!

Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen seen on Jun 25 2008 in New York, NY. I just couldn't resist quoting that little gem that slithered out of Miranda Priestley's poison tongue in Devil Wears Prada to reference Mary-Kate Olsen's floral summertime frock that she wore on June 25 to the after-party of the debut screening of her new film, The Wackness, in NYC. If you are feeling MK's flirty little number, may I suggest LaROK's Tie Front Halter Dress in Multi, Karina Grimaldi's Zuni Mini Dress in Teal Feathers, or Plenty by Tracy Reese's Soft Strapless Dress in Seaside Floral, which are all perfectly pretty to attend any summer soiree. To promote her new project, MK was on "Letterman" and dished that she went to high school with "Hills" villain Spencer Pratt, although the two were not friends. She told Dave that Spencer "did not have a good temper. He used to play on the soccer team... (and) he walked out of a few games. He would walk off the field." And it looks like Dave is no fan of Spencer's either; throughout the interview, Dave called Spencer both "wormy" and "oily." Ha! At least MK looked adorable, and that really is the most important thing ;).

Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen seen on Jun 16 2008 in New York, NY. Ashley Olsen was seen at the Tribeca Cinemas premiere of "Trumbo" in New York on June 16, and strolled down the red carpet like she was just passing through. No posing here! However, Ash did show up with her new actor boyfriend, National Treasure star Justin Bartha. Don't hide your love, Ashley! The tiny Olsen went for a playful-yet-conservative look, starting with a black blazer (check out Signorelli's Logo Blazer in Black) over a grey tank (like LaROK's Chance Tank in Twill). Next up was a pair of cropped black denim (super similar to James Jeans' Alex Skinny Zip Crop Jean in Black) with a cool black belt (Rough Roses' Five Row Studded Belt in Black is a similar choice) and zippered bag (check out Carla Mancini's Medium Top Zip Crossed Stitch Bag in Black). With all of these similar pieces on CoutureCandy, Ashley's 'fit is extremely easy to emulate. While Ashley is usually a pretty private person, going public with her relationship with Justin is a big step for her. A source told Page Six that, at the premiere, Ashley and Justin "huddled close together most of the night." Precious!

Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen seen on Jun 16 2008 in New York, NY. Mary-Kate Olsen was snapped strolling through NYC with twin sis Ashley and a bodyguard in tow on June 16, and the girls definitely put their big bulky bodyguard to work; he was seen toting huge pieces of art that the girls just purchased back to their posh NYC home. Mary-Kate's style was (like Jen Aniston's style below) typical MK; she started with an oversized plaid shirt (snag 3J Workshop's San Simeon Shirt in Pink in the highly coveted large size to wear yours like MK) and paired with dark grey skinny denim (check out Denim of Virtue's Patience 5 Pocket Tapered Jean in Dark Grey). Accessory wise, MK flaunted a logolicious Fendi bag, in addition to black gladiator heels and a funky necklace (like Brian Nagourney Jewelry's Lariat Necklace in Black Pearl). While there have been (and always will be) stories lately that the twins are feuding and not seeing eye to eye, new reports claim that MK & A "don't want to see each other." A source close to the girls says, "All meetings for their clothing line, they will not do together. Something happened between them, and they haven't worked it out. It's been going on for a while." While the accuracy of this statement is still being assessed, Mary-Kate has now famously said, "We're just getting there in different ways. Unless you're a twin, you honestly can't know how close twins can be." And I believe her!

Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen seen on Jun 02 2008 in New York, NY. Ashley Olsen struck a pose on the red carpet of the 2008 CFDA Fashion Awards at the New York Public Library this evening, June 2, in NYC. Leave it to Ashley to always take a risk! While most fashionistas showed up in jaw-dropping gowns, Ash played it cool in a perfectly tailored tuxedo suit. For a more casual take on the modern pantsuit, check out Walter's Tech Stretch Jacket in Black and Tech Stretch Pant in Black, and pair with a white button down, like 3J Workshop's Rebirth Button Down Shirt in White, with a pretty floral detail. Ashley accessorized with a ruby ring, black clutch and leather stilettos, making her appearance at the awards a truly memorable one. What do you think, does Ashley pull of this look? In other Olsen news, it seems that the twins have sold their massive NYC penthouse, and their neighbors could not be happier to see them go. The property sold for $10.45 million, and a former neighbor of the girls told the press that "the bodyguards in their SUVs are always getting in the way of our alternate-side parking routine. You'd think the president was living here. They certainly keep late hours. I was jogging early one morning and they were piling out of their gas guzzlers in their little club outfits." Hello... it's called being young and rich! What else would you expect from the Olsens?

Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen seen on May 30 2008 in Los Angeles, CA. Mary-Kate Olsen was seen leaving the Aurelia Adrian Institut de Beaute where the tiny twin was pampered with luxurious spa treatments such as a manicure and a facial in LA on May 30, and I'm not really feelin' MK's kimono-style dress. Kimono no-no! However, she is leaving a spa so I guess I'm a little bit more understanding. For kimono-style pieces that get my stamp of approval, check out Ecoganik's versatile Kimono Tunic Dress in Cement and Ziji's snuggly Kimono Sweater Coat in Black. The finishing touch for her spa-day outfit was a sweet little heart necklace, like Rachel Leigh's Crystal Heart Necklace. In other exciting MK&A news, the girls have now ventured into designing jewelry! Mary-Kate and Ashley joined forces with Council of Fashion Designers of America award-winning jewelry designer Robert Lee Morris to create a line of accessories for Elizabeth and James, and WWD says the line will be mostly "silver and brass dagger necklaces, amorphous knuckle rings and edgy earrings." Color me excited! How about you girls?

Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen seen on May 05 2008 in New York, NY. While I realize that there are about a thousand beautiful dresses and outfits that I could post from the "Superheroes: Fashion and Fantasy" Costume Institute Gala at The Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 5, I decided that I am just going to highlight the Olsen twins from this event, seeing as though they dazzled in their respective looks. Think of this entry as more of an "inspired by..." entry, instead of duplicating their exact look, because I think that the girls' choices are as inspirational as they are interesting. While both MK&A chose custom made gowns by Diane Von Furstenberg for the event, we can take cues from Ashley's choice of cutouts and MK's choice of iridescent gold. Check out O.Y.E. Swimwear's Cut Out Monokini Bikini in Black, which also comes in Gold if you're feeling more MK-ish instead of Ash-is, and you want to imitate Ashley's peek-a-boo look by the pool this Spring. If you're diggin' MK's dazzling gold frock, check out Ziji's more casual, silky number, the Tea Party Dress in Gold. Accessory wise, the girls kept it pretty minimal, as MK opted for metallic gold Loubous and gold drop earrings (like Jewel by Bear's Drop Earrings in Gold), while Ashley solely chose a simple clutch (check out Posse New York's Natalie Clutch in Chocolate). While The Mirror thought that MK looked positively gaunt next to "healthier" Ashley, saying, "the contrast between the 21-year-old identical twins was stark. Recovering anorexic Mary-Kate seems to have aged dramatically with worry lines on her face and brittle unkempt hair while Ashley is as gorgeous as ever. No wonder the girls, who seem to have everything, appear so sad." Pretty harsh, and pretty untrue if you ask me. What do you think- who rocked their look better, Ashley or Mary-Kate?

Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen seen on Apr 28 2008 in New York, NY. Mary-Kate Olsen stepped out to the 3rd Annual Chanel Dinner Party Honoring the Tribeca Film Festival Artist Program on April 28 looking pretty demure , for her! I mean think about it, MK usually wears much crazier outfits than this to events (crushed velvet Marc Jacobs headband, anyone?). She started her look with a sheer black top over a black bra, and tucked it into sparkly bubble skirt (check out Parameter's High Waist Mini Skirt in Black or Laura Dahl's Hockney Mini Skirt in Black for similar, not so glittery options). Next up was a classic yet edgy navy blazer, similar to Signorelli's admirably unique Logo Blazer in Black, which has black rhinestones on the back. Accessory wise, MK piled on the rings as usual, and held onto a patent leather Chanel clutch (for a more affordable yet just as daring option, take a look at Julie K Handbags' Fold Over Clutch in Night Exotic). Don't forget the striped tights and essential Balenciaga boots. While MK has been workin' it overtime to promote for her fashion lines, there were rumors spreading that she has been romancing a Mr. Travis London during a recent promotional visit to Hong Kong. A source told E! Online, "They've been doing their best to kept the relationship private, often arriving separate in public and choosing not to be photographed together at events." Maybe the reason why they haven't been photographed together is because this rumor is just... a rumor! MK's publicist responded quickly to this one, saying, "This is not true. Mary-Kate doesn't know a Travis London. He didn't travel with us to Hong Kong (I traveled with Mary-Kate) and there is no truth to this item." There you have it!

Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen seen on Apr 03 2008 in Los Angeles, CA. There are few things I love in the world more than an Olsen with luscious, recently shampooed and blow-dried locks! Ashley Olsen was spotted strutting out of the Neil George Salon yesterday, April 3, in Los Angeles, with her long hair blowing in the wind. Beautiful! Ashley started her basic yet stylish outfit out with a loose-fitting grey top (I love the details on Rails' Anika Top in Grey) under a brown leather bomber jacket, and then slipped her tiny gams into a pair of dark wash skinnies (like Deener's Charmer Skinny Jean in Cobalt). Ash accessorized with tortoise shades, suede sandals and a big bottle of Evian (hey, a girl's gotta stay hydrated!). The National Enquirer (I know, I know) is reporting that the girls are getting sick of each other (if I had a dollar for every time I heard this report...) after all these years, due to fights over real estate and business decisions. A source tells the gossip mag, "They just don’t see eye-to-eye anymore and are tired of constantly butting heads. Ashley isn’t an angel, but she’s tired of having to take care of Mary-Kate. One second Mary-Kate is maniacally happy, and the next she’s sobbing. Her mood swings are dragging Mary-Kate down, and finally, Ashley’s decided she doesn’t want to go down with her." Do you buy it? I don't know- I usually take everything the Enquirer prints with a grain of salt...

Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen seen on Mar 31 2008 in Australia. I'm not sure if these pics of Ashley Olsen flaunting her bikini bod on a balcony in Australia are new or not, but either way, I thought that my Olsen-aholics out there would appreciate the pics. Does anyone know whether or not these are recent? Ashley was caught puffing away on a cancer stick while relaxing and basking in the sun. Wearing a floral teenie weenie bikini (Tyler Rose Swimwear's Hancock Park Suit is similar, if a little more 80's-esque) with her hair pulled back and round brown shades (like Nour's Kiara Sunglasses in Manner Mania), Ash's bod definitely does a bikini good. Ashley has divulged more information of what goes on inside that tiny noggin of hers, as she has spoken out in a recent interview about her clothing lines and aspirations. Ash says, of starting The Row, "All I wanted was the perfect T-shirt. I just sketched out what I wanted, bought some bad fabric and took it to a couple of manufacturers. But then Maxfield [a Los Angeles boutique] wanted it and Barneys wanted it, and then the T-shirt turned into a couple of tank tops and a couple of dresses and a pair of skinny leggings. All of a sudden it was a collection." I love when projects develop organically like that!

Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen seen on Mar 26 2008 in New York, NY. Mary-Kate Olsen (and her newly cut and what appears to be washed locks!) hit up the shindig for Kate Bosworth's new flick, 21, at the Mercer Kitchen in NYC on March 26. Always one to don the controversial outfits, this one is really a love-it or a hate-it look for the books. MK chose a black silk romper for the evening (check out Guy Baxter's ruffled Ella Romper in Black Silk), paired with a hot pink Chanel belt and classic black Loubs. MK also wore that big costume-jewelry-esque green ring that she is always spotted with, semi-similar to Rachel Leigh's beautifully oversized Snake Ring in Green, in addition to multiple sparkly bracelets (like Jewel by Bear's Small Nugget Bracelet in Gold). In other Mary-Kate news, it seems that there are a few rumors swirling right now that MK might be dabbling in some serious flirtation with none other than "Gossip Girl" star Chace Crawford. A source tells In Touch Weekly that MK and Chace were spotted together on March 12 at Lit Lounge in NYC, and that "they were definitely making eyes at each other." Ooh, making eyes... scandalous! I wonder how many of you out there have "made eyes" at someone. What exactly is "making eyes"? A come-hither glance? A wink? Fill me in! Either way, I think we should investigate whether MK was actually in NYC on that date... because if not, this story can totally be debunked.

Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen seen on Mar 18 2008 in Los Angeles, CA. Ashley Olsen was spotted getting down to business and leaving her office in Los Angeles on March 18, looking pretty conservative (for her). Wearing super skinny jeans (like Deener's Charmer Skinny Jean in Cobalt) with woven flats, Ash topped her look with an oversized v-neck sweater (check out Autumn Cashmere's Relaxed Fit Deep V-Neck Top in Black) and gold shades (similar to JeeVice Optics' Crybaby II Sunglasses in Gold). She also lugged around some sort of blanket-looking grey thing... you know those Olsen's and their layers! It seems that even though Ashley and MK have more money than like 99.9% of the earth, Ashley still is down to earth enough to slum it on her friends couch instead of heading to a posh hotel. While Ash's $1.6 million Hancock Park house is being renovated, she is bunking with her stylist, Estee Stanley, at her home. Slumber party! How many of you would like to have Ashley stay over? Or... would she have to pay you oodles of dough in order to crash with you? Tell, tell!

Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen seen on Mar 18 2008 in Brentwood, CA. MKO was spotted grabbing coffee with a male friend in Brentwood on March 18, branching out from her usual Starbucks to what looks like a smaller, independent coffee house (based on the cup). Clad in her fave LV leopard scarf over a long tank (check out Laura Dahl's Penny Tank Dress in Black) and light wash cutoff shorts (try Tag Jeans' Double Belted Short in Light Wash for a more sophisticated look), MK also picked a red velvet jacket and her favorite John Lennon-esque shades for her java fix. Don't forget the jewelry! In true MK fashion, she wore multiple rings (I definitely think Robyn Rhodes' Kimberly Ring in Gold would be Olsen approved), as well as thick gold bracelets (like Rachel Leigh's Snake Bangle in Gold). Parade Magazine recently released their "What People Earn" list for 2007, which is basically just a way to make normal people feel completely inadequate to these teenage bajillionaires. It seems that Disney phenom Miley Cyrus netted $18.2 mill last year, while Mary-Kate took in a "paltry" $17 mill. Wow, I wonder how Mary-Kate is coping with these tiny earnings? Forget Miley and MK, I want to give a shout out to Leona Helmsley's dog Trouble, who made $12 mill last year. HBIC alert! Somebody get me this dog's contact info- I wanna befriend it so that I can get on that will!

Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen seen on Mar 11 2008 in New York, NY. Mary-Kate Olsen worked it at The American Museum of National History Winter Dance Sponsored by Roberto Cavalli in NYC on March 11, wearing a fur that has a bit of faux-ness to it, don't you think? For the rest of her "dance" ensemble, MK paired a long, flowy, patterned dress (Tricia Fix's Renta Long Velvet Dress in Sage and ZG by Grimaldi's Betty Chiffon Dress in Rust Peacock are similar) with a gold belt (like Linea Pelle's Metallic Sculpted Belt in Gold). Add on a to-die-for croc clutch, the aforementioned fur and tons and tons of gold bracelets (start with Jessica Elliot's Cut Out Bangle in Gold and Rachel Leigh's Audrey Bow Bangle Set in Gold), and you'll give MK a run for her money. MK has been stirring up a bit of controversy lately, as rumors are spreading that she has been dating a man who is a dead ringer for Heath Ledger. The man in question, Italian playboy Lapo Elkann, was spotted with MK on numerous occasions at Paris Fashion Week. A source says, "Mary-Kate and Lapo seemed very cozy. Lapo's a good-looking guy, and Mary-Kate seemed to love the attention she was getting from him." Hmm, I wonder if this has anything to do with the fact that he bears a resemblance to Heath, or if that's just Mary-Kate's type?

Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen seen on Mar 01 2008 in Paris, France. MK Olsen was spotted leaving the Fendi party in Paris, France on March 1, looking like she was going for a walk through a fashion jungle with her super-long LV leopard print scarf. For more leopard goodies, check out ZG by Grimaldi's NEw Michael Mini in Violet Gold Leopard, Betsey Johnson's Cropped Cardigan in Blush Leopard and Julie K Handbags' Cosmo Leopard Bag. Mary-Kate also wore a black coat (check out Ecoganik's Mia Jacket in Black). While this look is definitely a whole lot more restrained than the last MK look I posted about (studded metal jacket and orange Wayfies), it does still scream Mary-Kate. While there is not a lot of new MK news to report, I wanted to get this sighting up there for any of you who were doubting whether or not leopard is still chic. I forgot who said this, but I recall this quote that went something like "to wear leopard print, you either have to be ridiculously rich or incredibly poor". Do you agree?

Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen seen on Feb 29 2008 in Paris, France. The always edgy Mary-Kate Olsen was spotted strolling the streets of Paris on her way back to her hotel after the Chanel show on February 29, sporting a look that only a select few (MK and Kate Moss being two of them) can pull off. Wearing Givenchy's undoubtedly heavy and unmistakeably chic studded metal jacket (love it or hate it? I think I LOVE it) with neon orange Wayfarer-esque shades on top, MK paired a black mini skirt (like LaROK's Rita Skirt in Black) with black leggings (you can't go wrong with Laura Dahl's Longfellows Leggings in Noir) and her favorite Balenciaga boots. Taking a closer look at MK's jewelry, I have to say I'm diggin' the whole stars-and-moon motif she has going on with her necklace. Jennifer Zeuner Jewelry's Large Crescent Moon Necklace with Diamond is right on track, as well as Rachel Leigh's super-MK-esque Snake Ring in Green. I am constantly putting this question out there but I always love to keep asking it, do you think that MK's unconventional take on fashion pays off (risks often do deserve rewards), or do her outlandish duds make her seem like she has landed from another planet? I think you know by know which stance I take, how about YOU?

Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen seen on Feb 28 2008 in Paris, France. Mary-Kate Olsen was front row center at the Giambattista Valli fashion show in Paris, France yesterday, February 28, with her similarity #2 to Nicole Richie- the two-tone Chanel shades! Who wears them best? MK did her thing in all black, starting with a tunic-style LBD (check out Gold Hawk's Crew Neck Dress in Onyx Black and Kushcush's Wonder Mini Dress in Midnight), and paired with black tights and platforms. Not one to skimp on jewelry, Olsen mixed and matched silver and gold rings (I'm loving Rachel Leigh's Audrey Bow Ring in Gold and Femme Metale's Koi Ring in Sterling Silver) for a look that is uniquely hers. If you are a big fan of MK&A, it seems that a new peek into their lives will be available to you soon. The twins are working on a coffee table book titled "Influence," in which they will interview a few of the people who influence and inspire them the most. And no, they aren't going to interview the crazy bag lady on the street corner, they are actually going to be speaking with people such as Bob Colacello, Terry Richardson, Jack Pierson and Christian Louboutin. The book will also include "exclusive photographs of Ashley and Mary-Kate from world renowned photographer Rankin, and a wide variety of other never-before-seen materials and interviews from Mary-Kate and Ashley's personal collections." Sounds like a must have!

Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen seen on Feb 19 2008 in New York, NY. Tiny twin Mary-Kate Olsen was spotted ducking out of her office in NYC on February 19, rocking similarity #1 to fellow fashionista Nicole Richie of late: her edgy Balenciaga boots that she's been wearing forever! Nic was spotted wearing the same pair in LA on February 23, and this isn't the only love-it-or-hate-it couture piece the two seem to share. I'll reveal that one in an upcoming entry, but can anyone guess what I'm talking about? A hint: it's not Balenciaga. MK stayed warm in the chilly New York weather in (of course) a fur coat over a black tunic (check out Signorelli's V Neck Tunic in Black) and with her staple destroyed skinny jeans (start with James Jeans' Flip Flop Straight Leg Jean in Neo Tulsa, grab a pair of scissors to tear up the knees, and the rest is Olsen history). Accessory wise, Mary-Kate threw on a grey scarf and slipped her petite little fingers into a few statement rings (like Rachel Leigh's Lion Ring in Gold). For your daily dose of ridiculous Olsen news, it seems that a source has told Star Magazine that Hugh Hefner has his sights set on bagging the twins for the magazine. The source says, "Hef thinks the twins are every young man's fantasy." Keep dreaming, Hef! The source goes on to say that "They're all about high-end fashion these days. They want to do Vogue. Besides, the twins aren't getting along right now. Ashley is jealous because Mary-Kate is getting all the acting roles." Oh please! Ashley just said that she is completely passionate about taking charge in the twins' fashion line while MK tackles acting. Good try, though, source!

Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen seen on Feb 07 2008 in New York, NY. Ashley Olsen was spotted leaving a party at the Bowery Hotel in NYC on February 7, clearly hoping that the photogs would get up outta her face. Going for a basic (yet still extremely Olsen-ish) ensemble, Ash started her look out with a bright pop of color, her bright blue scarf. Next up was a pair of black leggings (like Laura Dahl's Fancy Dancers Leggins in Noir) under her Balenciaga knee-high boots. On top, Ashley paired a heather grey top (like Woo's Mira Pullover Tunic in Heather Grey) with a black blazer (check out LaROK's Rebecca Cropped Jacket in Black) and slung a black leather bag over her right shoulder. And of course, no Olsen would be complete without her own personal bodyguard. It seems that Ash has been busy promoting her fashion line The Row lately, and popped up at a boutique in Dallas, Texas earlier in the month. Ashley also spoke out to WWD about the newest collection of the line, which boasts 110 looks, up from the previous seasons (now) measly 18. Olsen says, "I don't want to expand too far too fast. I just take it one day at a time. There is endless opportunity, and I want to make the right choices. I don't see why it can't grow further and further." Very true, A! The new collection's pieces range from basic tees to fur outerwear, and will undoubtedly only expand from there. Can't wait to see!

Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen seen on Jan 18 2008 in Park City, Utah. Mary-Kate Olsen was spotted strolling the streets (and actually smiling AND waving to photographers, much to my shock) of Park City, Utah on January 18, as she made the rounds at the Sundance Film Festival. Keeping warm in the chilly, snowy Utah weather, MK started her outfit with, of course, a scarf (like Raw 7's warm Street Scarf in Ivory). Next up is a long, snuggly coat, like Rails' shorter Nia Tapered Jacket in Black, paired with matching black leather gloves. Down below, MK rocked her favorite pair of faded black denim (check out Denim of Virtue's Patience 5 Pocket Tapered Jean in Black) over her shoe du jour, Doc Marten-esque black boots. The finishing touch? Her favorite sunglasses (although we all know the sun isn't shining in Utah) that she has been spotted wearing everywhere lately. While MK is in Utah promoting her film The Wackness with Ben Kingsley, she has been featured on TMZ quite heavily today due to the extremely tragic passing of Heath Ledger. There were rumors circulating that Ledger died at an apartment owned by Mary-Kate, however, these rumors have been proven to be false, as the NYPD confirmed to TMZ that Ledger was not at an apartment owned by Mary-Kate Olsen when he passed away. News of Heath's death has shocked the world today, and he will definitely be missed by his fans and all who knew him, including Mary-Kate. Sad.

Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen seen on Jan 08 2008 in Tribeca, NY. Eternal trendsetter Mary-Kate Olsen was spotted parked outside of Bubby's restaurant in Tribeca, NY on January 8, 2008, smoking a ciggie and chattin' away on that BlackBerry of hers. Wearing her favorite look of late (plaid), MK dressed for a day of errands (and without wearing ANY fur!!) in black skinny jeans (what else- like Denim of Virtue's 5 Pocket Tapered Jean in Black) with a black and white plaid shirt, John Lennon-esque shades, and a grey tailored blazer. Down below, it seems that Mary-Kate had a switcheroo up her sleeve, as she started the day in her super 1990's inspired Doc Marten-esque boots, and swapped for a pair of killer heels (prob Lobou's) for later on. Accessorizing to the nines like always, MK went for the gold for her jewelry selection, so for a definite MK-approved look, snatch up Rachel Leigh's Lion Ring in Gold and Jewel by Bear's J'aime Double Ring in Gold. For her day in Tribeca, MK toted around one of her numerous Balenciaga bags, for a more affordable option, choose Linea Pelle's similar Dylan Large Speedy Bag in Mahogany. While everyone knows that Sundance is beginning today, Thursday January 17, it seems that one of the most buzzed about flicks thus far is MK's picture, The Wackness, co-starring the legendary Sir Ben Kingsley. Allegedly, tickets to the film have sold out, due to the much talked about kiss between MK (who is currently 21) and Kingsley (who is 64, if you're keeping track). It seems that whether it's fashion or film, MK is always one to stir up a good controversy.

Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen seen on Jan 05 2008 in West Village, NY. The always wonderfully controversial and fashionably-edgy Mary-Kate Olsen was spotted having a late lunch in West Village on January 5, and of course covered herself up from the prying flashbulbs of photographers. It really makes no sense to me why PETA hates MK so much, I mean, can anyone even remember the last time she was seen wearing fur? Ok, all kidding aside, I know that there is the ongoing debate of whether wearing fur is wrong, but MK doesn't seem to care what anyone else thinks and just does her own thing. While I'm keeping my opinions on fur out of this, I do applaud MK for daring to go where others won't and staying true to her own sense of style. Spotted wearing a vintage-looking fur with a green silk Asian-inspired top (check out Walter's Charmeuse Bow Top in Emerald, or for a beautiful, Asian-inspired garment, check out 3J Workshop's Geisha Tunic in Natural), black skinny jeans (like Deener's Highwaist Cigarette Jean in Tar), black boots and rings galore (Rachel Leigh's Audrey Bow Ring in Gold is similar to the one MK is wearing on her ring finger), MK's look is either love it or hate it. And the infamous Mr. Blackwell definitely seems to hate it. He named Mary-Kate third on his annual Worst Dressed List, calling little MK "a tattered toothpick trapped in a hurricane". Harsh (but kind of hilarious)! Mr. Blackwell also decided to take pity on Britney Spears this year, saying, "I felt that it was inappropriate at this time to make comment, when her personal life is in such upheaval. I hope 2008 is a better year for her." How kind of him. What do you think though, who deserves to be higher on the Worst Dressed List, MK or Brit-Brit?

Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen seen on Dec 28 2007 in West Hollywood, CA. As Ashley was all smiles for the camera in December, Mary-Kate Olsen appeared a bit more camera shy when paparazzo spotted her shopping for booze at a liquor store in West Hollywood on December 28. However, I wonder if MK's hand gesture is telling the paps to STOP, or saying HI to them? In her signature influential style, MK shows what makes her a modern fashion icon. Mary-Kate began her look with a pair of black skinny denim (check out Denim of Virtue's Alice Tunic in Black) and an olive green scarf. MK accessorized her look in oversized gold rings (check out Rachel Leigh's Domed Ring in Gold) and gold and silver chains and bangles (look at Mickey Lynn Designs' Set of 3 Hammered Bracelets in Silver). MK's look was completed with a black leather handbag (check out Aaneta's Muddy Bag in Large). After spending her Christmas out east in New York, MK headed back to Los Angeles to spend the New Year in a much warmer and relaxed environment. MK was spotted right before New Years Eve with friend and New York socialite Jared Seligman carrying out bottles of Veuve Clicquot in a Corona box out of Sunset Boulevard liquor store. It is safe to assume that MK and fellow pal Jared were stocking up for a more intimate New Years Eve gathering. Rumor has it that MK invited a few friends over for a more personal approach to New Years Eve with close friends and family... looks like this intimate approach becoming an ever growing trend for A List celebrities.

Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen seen on Dec 09 2007 in West Hollywood, CA. Ashley Olsen was photographed running errands in West Hollywood on December 9, and (as unbelievable it is for me to type this) was actually smiling for photographers! I hope you were sitting down for that. Going for her typical layered, classic style, Ash wore a black jacket (check out Rails' Nia Tapered Jacket in Black) over a plaid shirt and plaid scarf up top. Down below, it was all about the dark grey skinny denim (like Denim of Virtue's Patience 5 Pocket Tapered Jean in Grey), which also come in dark grey and black shades) with strappy black flats. Accessorizing with her fave black Birkin and aviators, Ashley's style is always a little more conservative than twin sis Mary-Kate, however she definitely makes it all her own. In a rumor filed under the "yeah right" category, Life & Style Magazine is reporting that Ashley is losing weight, and quick. Sources say, "Ashley's hoping that if she can lose weight, she can compete with her twin. Ashley is living on a diet of coffee, water, salad and sushi, chased by nonstop exercise. She'll eat, then go home and do aerobics to make sure she doesn't gain any weight." Battle of the skinny twins! I highly doubt this rumor is true, and if it is then that's pretty sad. I don't think she looks any skinnier than before, though... what do you think?

Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen seen on Nov 28 2007 in New York, NY. Mary-Kate Olsen was spotted back on the streets of New York after being rushed to the emergency room last week for a kidney infection, which rendered her out of commission for a while. It seems that the tiny Olsen is A-OK, however, and was seen in New York on November 28 doing some home shopping, with a soda and her iPod in tow. Wearing a funky outfit with tons of layers consisting of Ksubi jeans (Deener's Smoker Ankle Jean in Tar are similar and just as great), eccentric black boots, an enormous scarf, red Wayfarers, a leather jacket and tons of her favorite thing, costume jewelry. Accessories & Beyond's Assorted Charms Leather Bracelet in Red and Rachel Leigh's Lion Ring in Gold are two pieces that MK would definitely swoon over. In other Olsen news, it seems that the twins have put their 12-room Greenwich Village condo on the market for a whopping $12 million, when they paid only $7.3 mill for it back in 2004! If it sells, they can make a cool $4.7 million without doing a thing. Ah, and the rich get richer.

Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen seen on Nov 26 2007 in New York City, NY. Mary-Kate Olsen was spotted by photographers on a late night out in NYC on November 26, completely surrounded by her entourage AKA bodyguards and assorted musclemen. Bundled up in a warm black coat (I'm loving LaROK's Motorcycle Coat in Black) with a maroon scarf, super-skinny jeans (check out Deener's High Waist Cigarette Jean in Carbon) and Balenciaga boots, MK truly never disappoints with her cutting-edge style. Are you loving those Balenciaga boots, or are you not so into 'em? Personally, I think they're perfect for MK. It seems that while the Olsen's were in NYC hitting up various events and openings and putting their megabucks condo on the market, they were also putting the finishing touches on their new LA residence. The girls allegedly downsized from their $5 million Bel Air pad and are moving into a newer, smaller home in Los Angeles. What do you think... were MK&A right to downsize their manse to something smaller and a little more down-to-earth? Oh, who am I kidding. The Olsens will never be down to earth, they've got more money than like 99% of the world and they're only 21!

Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen seen on Nov 15 2007 in New York, NY. Mary-Kate Olsen definitely turned heads on the red carpet of the Seventh on Sale Dinner Gala to Benefit HIV/AIDS in New York on November 15, which she attended with designer bud Giambattista Valli. All eyes were on the little Olsen's tootsies, as she rocked out in a pair of neon pink The Victoria Shoe (inspired by Posh Spice herself, Victoria Beckham) with a voluminous party dress (check out Karen Zambos' Velvet Tube Dress in White) and tons of bracelets (Rachel Leigh's Buckle Bangle in Silver would totally be MK approved). MK was recently hospitalized in NYC for a kidney infection, but fear not Mary-Kate fans, hospital sources say that MK "is resting comfortably and will be released in the next day or so." Wonder what the Olsens' have planned for Thanksgiving... hopefully some family time and a whole lot of turkey! On that note everyone, happy Turkey Day!

Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen seen on Nov 10 2007 in Mexico. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen were photographed performing their bridesmaid's duties at the wedding of their manager in Mexico on November 10, and I have to say... those are the least hideous bridesmaids dresses I have ever seen! While MK's dress has long sleeves with beautiful details and is a little more romantic (for similar frocks, take a look at Sofira's Mischa Dress in White or Walter's Chiffon Sleeve Dress in Cream), twin sister Ashley's dress is more simple and elegant (for a shorter version, check out Hope & Glorie's Cami V Dress in Ivory). While Ashley has been in the media a lot lately regarding her rumored romance with 15-years her senior Lance Armstrong, the girls are hoping to receive some press for something else going on in their life, the launch of their new clothing line, Elizabeth & James. In other interesting Olsen news, it seems that they don't plan on sharing screen time anytime soon. Ashley says, "If we did something in that sense again, it would be in terms of producing." MK echoes her sentiments, saying, "Acting aside, we do everything together." Including attending gorgeous weddings in Mexico, apparently.

Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen seen on Oct 30 2007 in Manhattan, NY. Ashley Olsen was spotted reuniting with former TV dad Bob Saget for dinner in Manhattan on October 30, staying warm in a basic yet chic fall outfit. Wearing a black leather jacket with an "interestingly patterned" scarf (Raw 7's Street Scarf in White is a funky alternative) and dark wash, high-waisted, wide-leg jeans (check out Joe's Jeans' High Waist Muse Jean in Knightly), Ash made sure to bring along her big black Birkin for the night out. While everyone has been buzzing about Lance Armstrong being Ashley's rumored new boo, Ash herself has stayed mum on whether or not there is any validity to this story. Allegedly, Ashley was seen smooching Lance at the Gramercy Park Hotel's Rose Bar on October 29, canoodling with the sports star, and, sources say, "drinking red wine, nuzzling up to Lance, sitting on his lap and they making out all night. They left together around 2am." The next night, the two reportedly shared a romantic dinner at Graydon Carter's Waverly Inn restaurant, where sources said, "Ashley and Lance turned up the heat on their unlikely relationship. Ashley was being very flirtatious. They were laughing and having a great time." Lance recently split from his relationship with designer Tory Burch, and Ashley has had a history of dating older men (she was only 19 when she dated 30 year old Scott Sartiano!), so this might actually make sense. Still, what do you think, is Ashley too young for Lance?

Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen seen on Oct 22 2007 in Los Angeles, CA. Ashley Olsen was spotted making a quick-exit from the Neil George Salon on October 22, looking stylish and freshly-washed. In a leather mini-skirt (opt for Joe's Jeans' High Waist Pencil Skirt in Morter, a leather-less alertnative) with a blue hoodie (like Rails' Corado Pucker Hoodie Sweater in Dusty Blue), leopard flats a black shades, Ashley really has stayed loyal to her favorite bag, that black crocodile Fendi number of hers. While both twins have been super wrapped up with their two fashion lines The Row and Elizabeth & James, everyone knows that MK has been busy polishing her acting chops on the set of the hit show "Weeds". Not one to remain on the sidelines, I reported to you previously that Ashley was in talks to star in the film version of Brett Easton Ellis' book "The Informers", and now have a little more info for you regarding Ashley's role. While IMDB.com has Ashley listed in the cast member section of the film, there is no role given to her. Before, all that was known of the part was that Ashley would be playing a "sexually promiscuous girl", a character totally unlike her persona in real life. Winona Ryder, Kim Basinger and Billy Bob Thornton are also attached to the project, so it will interesting to see who will play which characters once the cast list is announced. Being a huge Bret Easton Ellis fan myself, I am excited that this book is finally being turned into a feature film- I just hope they don't butcher it!

Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen seen on Oct 22 2007 in Los Angeles. Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen showed up to an intimate soiree honoring the launch of their new line, Elizabeth & James, at the Beverly Hills Neiman Marcus on Oct 22, looking as opposite as can be (besides the twintastic hair color). While Ashley dazzled in a vibrant orange frock (like Ella Moss' Natalie Slip Cami Dress in Flame) with a bright blue scarf, MK went back to black in her crocheted black number (similar to Gold Hawk's eyelet version, the Eyelet Empire Dress in Black, which also comes in white). The night was held so that Neiman's super VIPs could get their hands on the first Elizabeth & James pieces, sans any pesky paparazzi (they weren't allowed inside the store). MK & A took a very hands on approach for this event, doing all sorts of odd jobs including styling the party space and clothing the mannequins. Mary-Kate spoke out about how excited she was for the night, saying, "When I first walked in, I was in shock that there were so many people here already. I sort of ran around and said, ‘Time to shop!’" Fabuloso! What do you think, are you going to be snatching up pieces from their new collection?

Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen seen on Oct 17 2007 in Los Angeles, CA. Pint-sized mogul Ashley Olsen was spotted leaving her offices on Robertson Blvd. in Culver City on October 17, looking all bundled up even though temperatures have reached upwards of 80 degrees in LA recently! Wearing a caramel-colored leather jacket from her own line, The Row, with a loose grey cardigan (like IISLI's Breaker Cardigan) over a white top (similar to Laura Dahl's York Top in Winter White), a Louis Vuitton leopard print scarf, dark vintage skinny jeans (Citizens of Humanity's Avedon Stove Pipe Pant in Sao Paolo, Christian Louboutin booties and with her requisite Venti Starbucks drink in hand, Ash does the effortlessly stylish look right. Lately, it has not been uncommon for Ash to wear a pair (or two) of killer Louboutin heels a day... on the contrary, it's actually rare for her not to rock them. The reason why she might be up to her elbows in these super-pricey shoes is that she is friends with Mr. Louboutin himself! Later that night, Ash was spotted in the same outfit giggling and posing with Christian at a party in his honor at S Bar in Hollywood, along with fellow fashionistas Rachel Bilson and Hayden Panettiere. Speaking out about her favorite designer, Ashley said, "What I love about Christian is he knows how to take it to the next level with color or studs or whatever. He knows how to push the envelope, but he does it in the right way." As an up-and-coming designer herself, Ashley knows quite a bit about pushing the envelope, as her and twin sis Mary-Kate are often noted for their fashion forward risk-taking. As the cocktail party came to an end and the champagne bottles all had been emptied, Ashley, Christian and and a few other select elite headed to the Chateau Marmont for a late-night dinner. Sounds fabulous!

Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen seen on Oct 15 2007 in London, England. Mary-Kate Olsen made an appearance at the presentation of Calvin Klein's new collection at P3, Marylebone Road in London on October 15, reppin' her love of elephants on her oversized belt. Wearing a floor-length, kimono-sleeved silk dress (Gold Hawk's Eyelet Empire Dress in White has similar sleeves and a shorter length, while Karen Zambos' Long Cowl Neck Dress in Gold has a similar color and length) with a quilted gold clutch, a red tassel necklace and a ton of eye-grabbing rings (Rachel Leigh's Snake Ring in Green and Square Lux Ring in Jet would definitely be MK approved) and bracelets, the tiny twin once again proves that taking fashion risks pays off. In addition to constantly being a style trendsetter, MK recently wrapped filming her new film The Wackness with the legendary Sir Ben Kingsley, who has nothing but praise for the mini-mogul. Kinglsey recently gushed in an interview that Mary-Kate is "is a genius. She’s great company and a very good actor indeed." This is quite the compliment coming from such a seasoned actor as such as him. MK took a break from all of her hard work this weekend and hit up Hollywood hotspot Teddy's with buds Lauren Conrad and DJ Samantha Ronson for a night out, followed by a long day of shopping. Oh, to be an Olsen!

Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen seen on Oct 09 2007 in London. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen attending the premiere dinner of their clothing line, The Row, in London on October 9, rocking matching black and white 'fits. While MK got her polar-bear on with a seriously Sasquatch-lookin' white coat over a black silk dress (like Bellekat's Toni Dress in Black) and patterned tights, Ashley was only a little more conservative in skinny black pants (similar to James Jeans' Sam 5 Pocket Skinny Leg Jean in Black), a black top (check out Laura Dahl's Piccadilly Top in Noir) and jacket with a white scarf (like Elizabeth Gillett LTD's sheer Vanna Scarf in Ivory) and those killer studded Christian Louboutin ankle boots that both twins are obsessed with. This was a big night for the girls, as the have finally and officially turned their dreams of designing fashion into a reality. The dinner featured a long, long table adorned with flowers and candles and guests such as Amy Winehouse and Peaches Geldoff, and was a truly unforgettable affair. The Row is already selling well at stores like Barney's New York and Maxfield in Los Angeles, and features pieces resembling what the twins themselves would wear, like rubber leggings and (of course) skinny jeans. What do you think- would you buy a piece from the trendsetting Olsens' line?

Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen seen on Sep 30 2007 in Paris, France. Supertwins Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen were seen arriving at Charles de Gaulle aiport in Paris, France on September 30, as the girls jet-setted into town for the beginning of Paris Fashion Week. Seen sporting wintry looks, it seems the twins at least agreed on wearing the same Ray-Ban Wayfarers! Clad in a warm-looking jacket (like LaROK's Jetsetter Max Parka in Black) with skinny black jeans (similar to Joes Jeans' Sam 5 Pocket Skinny Leg in Black), a woven black bag (reminiscent of Antoinette Lee Designs' Besa Stitch Hobo Bag in Black) and super-spiked Christian Louboutin boots (yikes- wouldn't want to be kicked by those!), Ashley looked set to hit the shows, while MK decided to wear a fur-lined jacket with latex pants (how comfortable for a 13 hour flight), black wedges and round black leather bag (similar to Aaneta's The Rock Large Bag in Black). It makes me happy to see Ash and MK attending Paris Fashion Week, because honestly, what front row would be complete without them? While we know that the girls have been taking the development of their two fashion lines, The Row and Elizabeth and James, very seriously, it also seems that MK is taking her role as a devout Christian on the show "Weeds" very seriously too! A source told the New York Daily News that, while at New York's Beatrice Inn with sister Ashley last week, "Mary-Kate grabbed a male admirer and cried, 'Christ saves all! I save all!' Then she ruffled his hair, gave him a kiss on the cheek and told him, 'Consider yourself saved!'. He looked totally stunned and stumbled off." Oh, MK, never one to disappoint in the erratic behavior department.

Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen seen on Sep 22 2007 in Los Angeles, Ca. Mary-Kate Olsen was spotted leaving the Aurelia Adrian Institut de Beaute on September 22 after getting all pretty-fied, but chose to remain mostly under-wraps as she left the salon. Wearing a skinny pair of faded jeans (like Citizens of Humanity's Avedon Stove Pipe Pant in Sao Paulo) with a loose-fitting black top (similar to Zoa's 3/4 Sleeve Shirred Neck Top in Black), a colorful scarf, a black leather bag (reminiscent of Carla Mancini's Medium Top Zip Crossed Stiched Bag in Black) and some killer heels, MK made sure not to forget her favorite red Wayfarers before she faced the crowd of photogs. While it's not unusual to see Mary-Kate covered up under numerous layers of oh-so-chic clothing, it is something of a rarity to see MK in anything revealing, and she wants to keep it that way. Mary-Kate was quoted as saying that she "would love to be able to swim in the ocean in Malibu. But that is asking for a bikini shot. That's inviting something that I don't want to happen. I don't need to be on a 'Who's Skinny, Who's Fat, Who's Looking Healthy, Who's Not Eating?' list." That's so sad! Poor little MK can’t even go to the beach? It's like she' living in her own little paparazzi prison and I feel bad for her. Then I remember that she was a millionaire at like 2 years old and I suddenly don't feel as bad. She could probably afford to build a tent on the beach to fend off the paps!

Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen seen on Sep 07 2007 in New York, NY. …in more than one way! Ashley Olsen was seen posing for the flashbulbs at the Prada Epicenter Party at New York's Fashion Week on September 7, playing it a little safe with her fashion choices. Wearing an oversized blue button-down with a white miniskirt (like James Jeans' Mitch Mini Skirt in Aspen White) and brown and white ankle boots and with her hair casually falling loosely around her face, Ashley's classic look is easy to attain. Like MK before her, it seems that Ashley has finally decided to focus more on her acting and is no longer enrolled at NYU. Back in 2005, MK left NYU for "personal reasons", telling New York Magazine that " "she didn't feel safe and was freaked out by the kids who were selling anecdotes to tabloids." I guess Ashley echoed MK's sentiment, and now it's sayonara NYU! Like Mary-Kate's controversial role on "Weeds", Ashley has also taken on a risqué new role in the film adaptation of Brett Easton Ellis' book "The Informers", only known so far to be a "sexually promiscuous girl". Go on with your bad self, Ash!

Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen seen on Sep 07 2007 in New York, NY. So much MK&A, so little time! Since I just can't get enough of these two, here's Mary-Kate Olsen attending the Prada Epicenter Party at New York's Fashion Week on September 7, opting to go for a walk on the wild side while her sister remained a little more conservative (see below!). Wearing skin tight black latex pants (to tame MK's look a little, go for black jeans, like James Jeans' 5 Pocket Skinny Leg Jean in Black Twill or Hudson Jeans' legging-esque Skinny Leg Knit Pants in Black) with a drapey black top (like Zoa's 3/4 Sleeve Shirred Neck Top in Black), leather stilettos and her new favorite shade of nailpolish- neon pink. MK is the new covergirl of October's issue of Harper's Bazaar, and tells the mag that one of her favorite things to do is "to run around my house naked with heels all the time. It's so funny. All my friends will tell you I love running around in kimonos and jewelry or naked with jewelry." That crazy Mary-Kate! About her sometimes too fashion-forward style, MK says that she "dresses the way I feel instead of looking for what's the new handbag," and that's why I give her so much credit. She does her own thing and knows she always rocks it out. Keep doing your thing girl.

Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen seen on Sep 01 2007 in Venice, Ca. Is it just me, or does Mary-Kate Olsen seemed to have gone totally wild lately? First, MK got bopped on the head traipsing into Les Deux, and now rumor has it that MK had one wild and crazy night recently at hotspot Teddy's. While she always seems so demure and dainty in public, apparently MK just can't wait to cut loose and tear it up when she goes out at night. Eyewitnesses told X17online.com that "Mary-Kate was wearing a see-through green dress. She was completely wasted; she was humping and grinding against a column with another girl. Then she was flailing all over the dance floor. Later, she made out with various questionable men while friends took pictures. She then fell over onto a table and proceeded to break every glass on the table before toppling over onto everyone sitting behind her. It was shocking." First of all… crashing into a table full of glasses? Ouch! I'm shocked that didn't send the teeny twin straight to the ER. While I'm sure we've all had those nights that we'd like to forget (and probably can't even remember!), I just hope MK's not heading down the dangerous partying road of Lohan! She was spotted dining at Axe Restaurant in Venice, Ca on September 1, wearing a black cotton dress (like Woo's Alexis Dress in Black or Betsey Johnson's Trapeze Dress in Black) with a bright scarf, Balenciaga bag, big funky ring (like Femme Metale Jewelry's Carneilian Caged Gem Ring) and almost orthopedic-looking black gladiator sandals. Showing off a new manicure with her shade du jour (coral- sure to be a new trend), MK also smoked nonstop the entire night (an old trend that needs to be OVER). However, am I crazy or does MK totally rock those shoes?

Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen seen on Aug 25 2007 in West Hollywood, CA. And no, I don't mean that the risks are getting swept up into going out every night or experimenting with dangerous drugs.. the biggest risks are getting bopped on the head with a paparazzi camera! This is allegedly what happen with tiny starlet Mary-Kate Olsen at hotspot Les Deux on August 24- as little MK was entering the club, a huge paparazzi camera hit her in the head, causing her to fall to the ground and drop her bag and other personal belongings. Almost immediately, her posse helped her up and into the club, where she was obviously tended to by various members of her entourage. Where's Ashley when you need her? Later, when seen emerging from the club, MK was wearing a mad hatter-like tophat to cover any potential bruising action that might have resulted from the blunder. Hey, MK- I know you don't need to get any richer, but all I have to say is SUE THE PAPARAZZO! The whole traumatic experience must have not fazed Mary-Kate too much, as she was seen out in West Hollywood the following day with a big old smile on her face. Wearing a grey top with white Wayfarers, a metallic gold bag (Julie K's Ella Bag in Gold is similar, and for a nearly identical bag in silver, check out Julie's Meg Bag in Silver Python), ankle-length skinny jeans (like Hudson's Vixen Highrise Ankle Jean in Virtue) and a brown leather belt (take a look at Pellemelle's Pilgrim Belt in Chestnut), this is the least wild-and-crazy we've seen MK looking in quite a while! Where are the giant wraps and witch shoes?

Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen seen on Aug 15 2007 in Los Angeles, Ca. Ashley Olsen was seen burning up the good old credit card at Neiman Marcus in LA on August 15, looking a little less than pleased to see the waiting paparazzi (see photo). Wearing her typical ensemble, which consists of a mini skirt (like Johnson's Opal Mini Skirt in Grey) with a loose-fitting black top (for a similar look, check out Catherine Malandrino's Embroidered Capri Top in Noir or IISLI's Long Top in Black), grey striped scarf, patent leather heels and black aviators, Ashley is rockin' the monochromatic look as usual. Being the cover girl for the current issue of Marie Claire is no easy task (or maybe it is, I mean, I've never been the cover girl for Marie Claire!) and editor-in-chief Joanna Coles is speaking out about her opinions on this Olsen. She says that Ashley is extremely detail oriented, and that, regarding her new clothing line "Elizebeth and James", she's "taken very seriously as a boss. Someone comes up and shows her the label for Elizabeth and James and she’s like, ‘No, it’s too big. Take it down by a third.’” What an eye! Ashley then goes on to tell the mag "I live a very normal life — I have friends; I’ve always gone to school. The part that’s not normal is that I’ve been working since I was 9 months old, but at the same time, it’s completely normal to me." But then again, normalcy is all relative!
