Congratulations to Ana M. from Cardinal the Color for winning the Fashion Intel and Chick Downtown giveaway! You will be receiving the Elizabeth & James grey deconstructed tee.
To everyone else who entered their name, thanks for reading and I wish you could all get a shirt. Keep checking Fashion Intel for more giveaways and my almost-daily postings on the more esoteric side of fashion.
Since we weren’t allowed to take photographs of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, I bring you this photo of Phuong and I. We’re both Mary-Kate! She is everyone’s favorite, right?
The book signing was quite fun. We waited in line beginning at 430pm and the signing wasn’t until 7pm. The line wrapped around Borders Westwood and surprisingly, we didn’t see many good looks in the crowd. I was hoping to see Olsen wannabees or at least ensembles arranged right off the rack at Maxfields.
Mary-Kate and Ashely did not disappoint. Even though we were bombarded with rules, it was such a pleasure to meet them as they kindly greeted Phuong and I with large smiles and gentle hellos. I knew they were cute, but they look even better in person. And don’t get me started on their jewelry and shoes.
So where did those hideous masks come from? PETA was protesting the Olsens outside the store, and we couldn’t resist grabbing our own hideous faces. The girls obviously don’t wear bloody fur hats nor deserve being called “the trollsens”, but I love souvenirs. Besides, I love the battle of fur v. anti-fur. I’ve been on both sides and now I have no idea where I stand anymore. That’s why I can love the Olsens but also have fun with the PETA protesters.
I will be the first to admit that I am a sucker for Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. With the release of their new book entitled Influence, a collection of personal photographs, fashion advice, shout outs to artists, and interviews with the people that have most influenced their life, these two have me biting my nails for a book tour!
We turn to Vanity Fair for this month’s “My Stuff: Ashley Olsen” to motivate you to buy the new Olsen Twins book. They got me hooked by simply listing the products Ashley uses and what her home life is like. I’ve compiled what here favorite beauty products are, but you can see the whole Vanity Fair article after the break.
Products from L to R: Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Moisturizer S.P.F. 15 $18.50, Kerastase Bain Satin $32.00, YSL Luxurious Mascara $27.50, by Terry Rose Balm Gloss $53.00
