MK Olsen in Marie Claire / Rings

{ Marie Claire, September 2010 }

Yesterday my eyes couldn't help wandering over to the magazine rack at the market. Mary-Kate Olsen and her baby doll eyes stared straight ahead as they twinkled out of the vast, glossy sea.

Upon devouring the article, I increasingly became more infatuated with Mary-Kate and her sister Ashley. I've always been fond of their sense of style, confidence and pallor. A particular section, mid-article, points out how close they are and how much support they give one another. "Other half" MK calls it. It's great to see how a family can come together, and stay together, instead of letting the media pull it apart or get tarnished by fame.

At the end of the editorial, Mary-Kate is described as lighting up whenever she starts to talk about Fashion. I feel the very same way!

Mary-Kate and I both share an unbridled love for excessively chunky rings. I tried to cram as many of my favorites as I possibly could into this vintage pewter soap dish.

Past and Present

Many of you already know that I am a huge MK Olsen fan. Her spirit to style and invent both intrigue and inspire me. Whether she's donning the latest craze or fine tuning her own, she has a few simple staples she remains loyal to. American Apparel, towering platforms in the likes of Balenciaga, flowy skirts, thick tights paired with band tees, floppy berets, fringe, bucket bags, gauze, chunky cocktail rings and red nails.

When it's all over we can barely discuss

Lately in love with: Anna Selezneva at Giles SS 2010. Olivia Palermo on The City and her wardrobe in general. Sky high platform wedges in the likes of Christian Louboutin and Dolce and Gabbana. Perfectly lined eyes. Denim shorts with tights. Messy MK Olsen hair, in other words beautifully disheveled. Snejana Onopka at Valentino SS 2010. Lacy black lingerie as Natalia Vodianova seductively shares above. Alexa Chung back On. Rachel Bilson back in the paparazzi circuit. Denim shirts making a comeback; spotting Dree Hemingway in the same Topshop one I own, exhilarating. Britney Spears singing. Positive quotes about life written in Italian. This is It: Michael Jackson.




Can't stop lusting over: Classic Chanel chain bags. Knee socks. Pearls and glittering stones for necklaces. Red lipstick. Natasha Poly in the perfectly worn in leather jacket look. Miu Miu SS 2010; seeing braids everywhere, something I wear myself practically everyday. Blazers. Socks with sandals. Platforms. Alexander McQueen's demonic collection-- alien invasion or just really innovative thinking? Purple eye shadow. Flashes of red on dresses, especially when jewel encrusted. Flapper influences. Doll soft complexions à la Siri Tollerød.

An Ode to the Olsen Style of 2007 !!!

Mary Kate “MK” Olsen

While some may refer to Mary Kate's style as being frumpy, somewhat bag lady or just plain out there- I see style well done; effortlessly so. I’ve never seen a girl who can pull on a baggy sweatshirt with almost any outfit and make it look cool. My wardrobe staples have always leaned towards hoodies and skinny jeans not unlike MK. Lately, chunky boots, platform sandals and wedges have joined the collection. If only I could wake up tomorrow and have Mary Kate’s extensive ring and handbag assortment. Now, if I could wake up tomorrow as anybody in the entire world, I’d definitely have to pick Mary Kate Olsen; or at least a chance to meet her. Not only does she have a smashing sense of style but also a stylish best friend, who we all know as her twin sister, Ashley.



Ashley “Ash” Olsen

Always refined, classic and pulled together. I look to Ashley for confidence in composure, intricately placed details and impeccable hairstyles. She is never one to shy away from mixing in new, eclectic pieces with her own classic staples. Not quite as avant-garde as say her sibling, MK, yet- she still manages to hold her own in the trendsetting department. I’m always fond of her coats, fitted pants and platform sandal concoctions! I would love to sit down and have a really good long, and fashion-filled, talk with Ashley over a cup of coffee, about what she likes best in this year’s collections, what she sees next and what she hopes to achieve with the future for her lines; The Row and Elizabeth & James.

8/14: Muse Beat

Taylor Momsen, of the widely popular series, Gossip girl, manages to capture a casual look while implementing street chic with the help of her strappy red flats and alarmingly bright yellow shoulder strap bag. Adding in an off the shoulder tee is key in the summer heat.

Miranda Kerr, Australian model, has the natural, fresh faced beauty down to a Science. It is her poise and elegance that shine through most in this feminine look. From the curve hugging pencil skirt to her romantic top, this classic look is also fun for a dinner date.

Lauren Conrad, of the infamous MTV reality show, The Hills, seems to enjoy translating casual looks into something with a little more flair and oomph. She looks best when she is in natural, solid statement pieces. Her collection varies from stretchy denim to fitted plaid tops. She toys with both flats and heels and adores large leather handbags.

Kate Bosworth, actress extraordinaire, lives for cotton pieces. She takes pleasure in belted tops worn as dresses, funky flats and worn in leather bags. In cooler weather she opts for thick scarves, wooly coats and fitted skinny leg pants. She knows how to play with the perfect proportions for her small frame.

Sienna Miller, actress/model, may get a lot of flack for her mimicry of Kate Moss, but I believe she does her own thing as well. She is definitely a fan of the Bohemian Street look, but she also has a way of working in her own hippie vibes, with peasant tops and messy Heidi-like braids. I am indeed fascinated by her ever multiplying collection of ankle grazing boots.

Mary Kate Olsen, model/actress/CEO/Trailblazer, although her twin sister also has a chic mind of her own worth praising, it’s Mary Kate whom I most admire. There is a kind of free spirit lurking within her that exudes with every stylistic choice she deigns to don. She doesn’t cave to trends; instead she does her own thing. And I commend her for it. Every piece she steps out in is all Mary Kate and nobody else. She isn’t afraid to try something new (spike adorned heels) or something old (faded denim cut offs). To some, her ideas may seem ridiculous or thought of as far too eclectic, but to many, she is Queen when it comes to her styling preferences.
