#Nerd's Fashion Spotlight: #Olsenboye

I’m sure that unless you’ve been living under a rock for most of your life, you’ll know who Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are. They were the “Hannah Montana” of the late 90’s and early 00’s. Starring in 16 films and 4 separate TV series, the girls have been acting for most of their lives. Since the release of New York Minute in 2004, however, the twins haven’t starred in any movies, and for years we didn’t hear too much about them. Now they have directed their energy into creating their very own fashion label, Olsenboye, which is a “Cities of the World” themed label, coming out with travel-inspired collections.
The brand new Fall 2010 collection is inspired by one of the world’s most amazing cities, and my personal favourite, London. They make a wide range of products, from shoes and accessories, to tops and dresses. After looking through the collection (sold exclusively at JCPenney’s), I have to say that some of the pieces are really cute, and definitely something I would wear. The first thing I looked through were the shoes, being something of a shoe-addict, and I found some really sweet little flats, like these black slip-on’s with an oh-so-cute little bow!
They are the perfect summer shoe, because they go with any outfit, and are light and airy, which is great in a hot climate. Another thing I found was that they have some really awesome accessories, like this gorgeous little “messenger bag”. It comes in 3 different colors, but I really love this red-black-and-white version. It’s the perfect accessory to really add something special to your look at anytime!
In case you are thinking this is a “Shoes and Accessories” brand, because that’s all I’ve been talking about, believe me, nothing could be further from the truth. They have a wide range of really stylish dresses, tops, pants and skirts, including this fun little black-and-white stripy stud pocket tee, which would go great with any high waisted skirt, or pants. I love outfits that are just black-and-white, so I would wear it with a high waisted black skirt, and some white flats, or even black flats, and perhaps a white accessory, like a bangle or a headband.
So be sure to keep an eye out for the Olsen twins in the near future, and an even closer eye on what they are wearing! And don’t forget to check out the Olsenboye collection at www.olsenboye.com, and enjoy some new London-inspired trends!
