The Cheap Girl

Trench Chic

I love seeing the Olsen Twins in evening wear. Ashley looks so elegant and quite the bombshell in this long black number and Mary Kate is looking very glamorous (and in this particular shot—a hot mess)  in gold sequins.

Between the two ladies I usually prefer Ashley’s style because she always looks so polished and put-together.  Mary Kate’s look has a bohemian/vintage charm to it and she comes out with a lot of unique pieces.

They’re both style icons in my book.

Who is your favourite Olsen fashionista?

You all know how much I love the lace trend. I absolutely adore this maxi-dress. I think that it is perfect to wear for weddings, over dinner, to a party, almost anything really. I would wear this with wedge heels and a gold cuff bracelet. A cluster of transparent beads might work or a pair of dangling earrings as well. It would look great with hoops and fitted jacket. Denim maybe to dress it down? It will work with a blazer as well.

I think that the overall effect is very sophisticated. Maxi dresses work well with taller frames but with a pair of heels or platforms, us petite women can do some serious damage as well.

Love this dress!

This dress is on sale for $110 (regular $220) at ShopBop

I’ve always loved Alice in Wonderland editorials.  Many magazines have done their own playful take (I believe that I have an old issue of Glamour Mag from 10 years ago that did a pastel coloured, fun version full of butterflies, teacups and all things pretty)  but Annie Leibovitz’s Alice is the most “grown-up” and sophisticated version that I’ve seen. Natalia Vodianova rocks the shoot and is  paired with the cream-of-the-crop designers in the industry.

I am looking forward to Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland due out in March of 2010. I LOVE Tim Burton’s films. There is always an element of fantasy, old world charm, darkness and fairy tale in his art work.
