They were certainly adorable in their matching outfits when they were younger! Thankfully, they’ve grown into sophisticated fashion icons with their own unique sense of style.

You can see the entire slideshow here. I had fun looking back and I’m sure you will too!

Ashley believes traveling first-class is a necessary extravagance and thinks Newman’s Own Foundation is a great charity. As far as clothing goes, it’s all about vintage and her own line, the Row.

Her beauty bag is a mix of high-end and low-end products. Mysteriously, mary-kateandashley products are missing from this peek into her bag. In August, there were several.

Ashley splits her time between LA and NYC, but decorates all her homes with peonies. She loves wine, ice cream and cheese and crackers.

It’s a pretty insightful look into everything Ashley loves and uses daily. Makes me feel like I know her!

She also comments on how fashion is perceived differently by the fashion industry itself and by the tabloid magazines who often call her a fashion disaster.

The excerpt is very brief, but should tide you over until you can swipe a copy off newsstands now!

I love how the creative director admits everyone is “vaguely obsessed with her.” The shoot looks really interesting–I’m excited to see the final product!

The magazine should hit newsstands soon.

Mary-Kate Olsen is on the cover of this week’s Star Magazine. The tabloid is claiming that Mary-Kate has been partying really hard since the death of Heath Ledger and her friends are worried that she needs to enter rehab.

They cite her small fall in LA a few weeks ago as evidence of her hard partying. There’s a picture of it on the cover. After that, MK apparently spent a few days in a holistic facility and told Elle that she “talks to people”, but that isn’t enough. Pals want her in a real, credited treatment center.

“Mary-Kate seriously needs to get to rehab, but she doesn’t think she has a problem,” says their source. “She thinks she’s young, hip and entitled to live her life as she sees fit. But it’s affecting everything.”

Star isn’t the first magazine to report this story, and it won’t be the last. Both In Touch Weekly and The National Enquirer ran similar stories a few weeks ago–right after MK’s fall. However, this is the most in-depth look at MK in a tabloid since right after Heath’s death. However, until there’s out and out paparazzi proof (like the kind that seems to come Lindsay Lohan’s way) or a mug shot, I’m taking these reports with a grain of salt.

There’s a short piece and a great photo of Mary-Kate Olsen in the summer issue of V Magazine. It’s another promotional piece for her movie The Wackness. MK has done so much press for this film, you’d think she was the star!

Even though the article is really brief, I love how humble Mary-Kate is and how serious about acting she comes across as.

“I don’t think I’ll ever have that extreme confidence [to watch myself onscreen]. I criticize myself and know there’s no changing what’s done once the film is finished, so why torture myself? I’ll do my thing and I hope that people can appreciate my art.”

However, Mary-Kate wasn’t so lucky in avoiding seeing her performance in The Wackness, she had to stay in the theatre when it premiered at the Sundance film festival, but “thank god everyone loved the film.”

Mk also seems to be really appreciative of her current career and how it challenges her creatively. I can only hope she continues to make strong, engaging films and continues to love acting.

Recent cover models have included Victoria Beckham, Natalie Portman and Madonna. Fashion Week Daily also suggests watching for Rihanna and Jennifer Aniston in the future!

I know magazines work on their content months and months in advance. Maybe the photo shoot MK was at a few days ago was for Elle?

Thanks to jj for the tip!

I know it’s new because MK is wearing a dress from Balenciaga’s Spring 2008 line, one of those floral neoprene dresses and there is another picture of her n the studded Givenchy coat. Beautiful!

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are getting a lot of tabloid coverage lately! This week, the battle over the billion dollar fortune rages on in the National Enquirer.

According to the magazine, MK and Ash are fighting over their money and Mary-Kate has been drinking heavily lately. Additionally, Star Magazine is reporting that the girls are absolutely sick of each other. Their “conflicting styles” are “causing friction” when they work on their lines The Row and Elizabeth and James.

It all seems a little ridiculous to me. But the girls haven’t been seen lately, Mary-Kate hasn’t been doing any promo for the Row (whereas Ash has been to Dallas and other cities doing trunk shows) and MK was recently spotted at Bungalow 8 and Sweet Paradise.

My guess? They are taking the truth–busy sisters who are young, wealthy and have gone through a tough time, recently losing a friend–and twisting it into something that’s so much more than it is.

What do you think?

Thanks to jj for the tip!
