Style Crush: Ashley & Mary Kate Olsen

Style Sisters, Style Icons



The Olsen twins are not just stylish sisters, but considered to be style icons of their generation. The power sisters who rose to fame as child stars on U.S. TV have since founded two successful high-end clothing labels. The Row and Elizabeth and James have become successful fashion forces in the industry.

In the 2011 Vogue‘s Best Dressed issue, the Olsen twins joined other stylish celebrity siblings to prove that in fashion, two is always better than one!





Throughout their careers both ladies have developed and refined their own personal style. They each have their own distinct look. Ashley rocks a more tailored classic look while Mary Kate is more bohemian-chic with a hint of quirky. Both of the sisters accessorize their looks to the nines with top-notch attention to detail. Ashley's style is said to be a bit more tame opposed to the adventurous style of Mary Kate. Their keen sense of style and openness to fashion is what sets them apart.






Street Chic



Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen always run errands in casual chic ensembles.  Their fabulous variety in shoes, beautiful leather totes, and chic sunglasses truly polish off their look while adding a sense of undeniable sophistication.


Modern Style Icons



Although they're twins, their personal style could not be further apart. Ashley Olsen always looks ravishing with sophistication beyond her years. Her looks are very feminine and girly which she teams with shoes and accessories which add a little bit of edge and 'grunge' to her look. Her use of feminine and edgy pieces create a modern sophisticated look.


Mary Kate's look is very unique and is not necessarily defined by current trends. She is a style icon who creates new trends and does not following a certain criteria. Her look is very fashion-forward and open. She is a big fan of bohemian styles and layering ensembles.

Red Carpet Icons


The Olsen twins are no strangers to the red carpet.  The red carpet gives the sisters an opportunity to shine their personal style. With their eclectic gown choices, fantastic shoes and amazing use of accessories their looks always stand out.

Their individual styles may be different; however, each style is not defined by boundaries but by their love of fashion.

Red Fashion Vixen- Audrey Hepburn

Audrey Hepburn remains to be one of the greatest actresses and style icons of all time. Although modest about her style, wearing clothes that were comfortable and casual, she still remains to be relevant in this day of every-changing fashion. Her "little black dress" from Breakfast at Tiffany's, designed by Givenchy remains to be a  fashion staple inspiration in every fashionista's closet.

The Audrey Look

Audrey's style consisted of key staple fashion items. Firstly, was the her little black dress-you will want to purchase a black plain dress that you can accessorize with pearls as she kept her jewelery minimal, but pearls were one of her favorites. Her white blouse was a second staple that she made famous-buy one that is plain and ties at the front. Her style consisted of wearing both short and long scarves to accessorize her casual outfits, or to tie around  famous hats-you will want to purchase these scarves in neutral colors to match with a variety of outfits. A Pair of Flats is a must, or a pair of Ferragamo heels that she both adored to wear. To complete your Audrey wardrobe other style staples to consider are a black or white turtleneck, capris and 50s inspired skirts. For the finishing touch you need a pair of fabulous oversized black frame sunglasses.
