Mary-Kate Olsen Loves Her Fur Coat

Filed under: Events: On the Scene, Fashion Week

Michael Buckner is a fashion and celebrity photographer who travels around the world taking pictures on the red carpet. He gives us a behind-the-scenes look at the hottest entertainment industry events.



I'm in New York City for New York Fashion Week Fall/Winter '09. Before this madness got started, I went to the Bowery Hotel for the launch of Belvdere IX Vodka.

Mary-Kate Olsen, who has always been known for her style, made a brief appearance at the launch of Belvedere IX (pronounced One-X) at the Bowery Hotel in Manhattan's Lower East Side. She hung with DJ Paul Sevigny in a fluffy fur jacket. Fortunately PETA wasn't around to throw paint.

MK doesn't allow photos inside parties because she doesn't want to tarnish her reputation as a party girl, so I had to stand across the room and shoot her paparazzi style once she turned around. Out of 300 pictures I took of her, this is the only one of her face.

Mary-Kate and her sister Ashley just announced that they launched a men's collection in their courture line, "The Row."

Mary Kate Olsen in Vintage - I Want That!

Filed under: Get the Look

Only Mary Kate! So we can't actually help you find this amazing vintage caftan (the detailing is insane) she's sporting but we can give you some help with her killer Jimmy Choo bag.

Must have bling of the day: ASOS spike bracelet

Filed under: Accessories, Steals and Deals, Must Haves

We loved the jewelry Robert Lee Smith designed for Mary Kate and Ashley's clothing line Elizabeth and James...especially the dagger necklace. But at $525, it's a bit much to spend on a piece of costume jewelry.

Are you Influenced by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen?

Filed under: Style in the News, Celebrities with Style, Product Reviews, Books, Daily Obsession, Must Haves



After months of anticipation, we finally received our very own copy of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen's not-just-for-your-coffee-table book. And, as expected, we love it. Influence is a hardcover masterpiece – featuring interviews with the world's most famous designers, artists, photographers, and taste-makers including: designer Diane von Furstenberg, shoe maven Christian Louboutin, and cheeky photographer Terry Richardson.

As Ashley explained: "We want this book to be something that is filled with interesting things about the art world and fashion. I'd like to think that this book is inspiring people to read about or focus on other things than just the over-saturated, scandal-driving media."

Mary-Kate Olsen's lazy style

Filed under: Celebrities with Style

Mary-Kate OlsenMary-Kate Olsen is utterly baffled as to why she's considered a fashion icon (and that makes two of us). Women all over the world have been inexplicably drawn to her "homeless chic" style of giant, layered dresses and sweaters, but apparently, MK's trendsetting status came about entirely by accident.

Olsen twins adding jewelry to their Elizabeth and James line

Filed under: Accessories, Style in the News, Celebrities with Style

Alright, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, we get it -- you want to get your tiny little hands in everything. Clothing, make-up, and now jewelry -- before you know it, we're going to be eating itty-bitty Olsen frozen dinners and washing them down with their own brand of vodka.

And we kind of can't wait for that. But, in the meantime, we can focus on the fact that the world's most homeless-looking billionaires have started working with award-winning jewelry designer Robert Lee Morris on a line of jewelry for their Elizabeth and James clothing line.

Their new jewelry line will include dagger necklaces and other chunky accessories, and will be called Robert Lee Morris for Elizabeth and James. We should be seeing the launch within a few months, but in the meantime, you can check out some of Robert Lee Morris' other work to get an idea of what to expect!

WTF?! Two hundred dollar gym shorts?

Filed under: Clothing


Like every other blue blooded American child, we spent the better part of our lives participating in the cruel and unusually sadistic ritual called P.E. in elementary school. While our friends excelled at indoor volleyball exercises and endurance tests, we never had it that easy. We always were the last to finish our daily mile, (but that probably had more to do with our little respiratory problem called asthma).

Anyways, all of the "athletes" wore similar attire to work out in. The key piece? A pair of knit wind shorts. They were sold at places like Target or Foot Locker for $20. So, imagine our shock when we stumbled upon these blue hot pants by Elizabeth & James that cost a whopping $225.

Mary-Kate and Ashley to debut new line? Ever?

Filed under: Style in the News, Celebrities with Style

There's long been speculation about Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen's fashion line, The Row -- but despite all the hype, the world has yet to see any actual clothing (and seemed to losing interest). However, in the wake of Mary-Kate's recent freelance "writing" gig with the New York Times, I'll admit it: I care.

According to Women's Wear Daily, the new label is set to premiere at Paris Fashion Week, but -- because of what snarky media blog, Gawker, calls a "distrustful relationship with the press," the twins are providing a sneak preview of their fall-winter collection to high-end retailers -- no press allowed.

What's the verdict? Are you still interested? Are you over it? Are Mary-Kate and Ashley just annoying?

Olsen update: the online store

Filed under: Stores We Love, Style in the News, Clothing

A few weeks have passed since Ashley Olsen previewed her designer line "The Row" at a Barneys New York Party. And if one thing is true about the Olsens, they never stay out of the limelight for too long, lest we forget about them entirely. (Yeah, like that could happen with "Full House" in syndication...)

Not to disappoint, the Olsens just announced that their very first online retail store will launch on Monday. The so called shopmary-kateandashley.com (phew...talk about a complicated domain name!) will sell the Olsen's line of tween-marketed apparel. Until this point, mary-kateandashley (the brand's official name) was only sold in Wal-Mart stores and the British subsidiary Asda.

While I recognize that what makes the Olsen girls such amazing young business women is their ability to diversify, I'm not so sure they should be pushing their low-end clothing line at the same time that they are trying to create buzz for the expensive one. I mean, isn't it supposed to be the other way around -- a la Paul & Joe or Isaac Mizrahi?
