MKA In THAT White Dress

(Olsens at the CFDA awards 2007)

If I were Mary-Kate Olsen, I would look back on this night as one of my shining triumphs of awesomeness. Every time I see a photo of her at this event, I am just as happy as the first time. The dress, hair, and makeup – all an A in my book.

So This Is What A $250 T-Shirt Feels Like…

One of the blogs I read on a consistent basis is Olsens Anonymous.  I love Ashley’s laidback taste, I think she has a wonderful sense of style that is the perfect balance of casual and “put together”. 

For a while now I have been on the lookout for the perfect v-neck T-shirt. Then last week as I was doing my daily check of Olsens Anonymous, and there it was, the perfect v-neck!

I instantly began my search to find said T-shirt (and keep in mind that I had no idea what brand said T-shirt was).  I started by searching through the Olsen Twins mid range clothing -Elizabeth and James.  No luck.  I then decided to check the Olsens high end designer line – The Row.  And there it was!  The perfect T!  This was however, a very sad moment, seeing as the shirt was a whopping $250!!!  I felt discouraged for a moment, and then decided searching for the shirt on sale was worth a shot. And what did I find you may ask? I found THE EXACT SHIRT ON SALE FOR $62!  I realize this is not cheap for a T-shirt, but for me it was worth it. 

It came in the mail yesterday, and it is the softest fabric I have ever felt in my life!

Oh braids, how I love thee, let me count the ways:

1) You are easy.

2) Thanks to Alexander Wang Spring 2010 runway, you have become fashionable.

3) You are easy.

4) With you, there are infinite possibilities – Side Braids, Slim Braids, Two Braids, Braid Crowns, Messy Braids…

5) You are easy.

But seriously, how fantastic is it to see something coming down the runway that you could do to your own hair in about a minute flat? Incredibly fantastic, that’s how much!  So join me, and hop on the  braid train!
