Look for Less: Mary-Kate’s Mustard Scarf
Mary-Kate recycled a lot of the same look over the holidays. I love how she becomes obsessed with certain pieces and will wear them over and over. One piece that’s caught my eye is her gorgeous mustard scarf! All the photos of her donning it are exclusives (so I can’t post them here), but you can see the scarf over at Olsen Files.
Luckily, Forever 21 has a near identical scarf that won’t break the bank!
This scarf can be yours for… More »

Ashley’s Best Looks of 2009
Ashley Olsen opted for very (very casual looks during her down time in 2009. This prompted a lot of people to wonder whether she’d lost her style. However, every time she stepped on a red carpet, she hit a home run.
Ashley embraced simplicity chic, often forgoing accessories all together and pulling together perfectly tailored outfits with clean, sharp lines.
Here are my favorite looks of Ashley’s from 2009. Which ones were your favorites?

Look for Less: Ashley Olsen’s Prada T-Strap Sandals
Ashley Olsen wore her Prada T-Strap studded sandals everywhere this fall.
Thanks to In Their Closet for finding this amazing knock-off! Michael Antonio “Tiff” T-Strap Sandals are almost exactly the same, except for the price, of course! The studs are rounded, not pointed and the inside is gold, but the similarities are astounding.

The 2000s: The Decade of Olsen Fashion
Style.com is claiming that the 2000s wouldn’t have been the decade it was (Well, fashion-wise at lease!) if it weren’t for the Olsens. I couldn’t agree more!

In honor of the designing duo, Style.com put together a great slideshow looking back at the decade that was everything Olsen. They’ve grown up so much!
