Mary-Kate + Ashley = FABULOUS

 The Olsen twins have always had a special place in my heart. I was twelve or thirteen years old when they were on the TV sitcom Full House. At that time I didn't realize that they were twins and that they used to switch them off and on the set during taping. All I knew is that they were adorable and that I LOVED the show! Now they are 23 years old and not only are they beautiful ladies they are one of my greatest inspirations! I have always admired their personal style. Very modern and chic. I think Mary-Kate tends to go a little towards the boho side of  modern chic and Ashley tends to wear that sort of vintage modern chic style (which is more me, not that I don't totally appreciate Mary-Kate and her look as well:-) They both have each other and I would have to assume that sharing the spotlight with your twin sister must be about as good as stardom can get! I'm sure it can get a little crazy being famous since the day that you were put on this planet. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have managed to stick together. Of course I don't know them personally, but it seems that they are very close. You would have to be close to be able to create three fabulous clothing lines together! They are the co-directors for a company you may have heard of called Elizabeth and James. You can view their collections by clicking on this link: Elizabeth and James. There you will find fun and luxurious contemporary pieces that they have created in collaboration with Robert Lee Morris. You can find Elizabeth and James at high end stores and boutiques like Saks Fifth Avenue as well as a store on 195 Middle St. in Portland, Maine called Chantal. You can shop on their website if you can't make it to Portland Shop Chantal. The twins also have created a line called Olsenboye that is sold exclusively at JC Penny stores. This is such a cute, fun, and trendy line for juniors but there are pieces that I would love to integrate into my wardrobe as well, even though I am no longer a teenager. It is all in how you wear it! Here is an adorable video advertising Olsenboye. It is so cute! I wish I had these girls lives! The Olsenboye girl has sooo much fun and she lives for her friends. Take a second to watch this video. It will make you smile:-)

The Olsen twins have become quite successful in the fashion world. So successful that they created the most luxurious of their collections under a different name called The Row. Below you will find some of the most simple designs you have ever seen created by Mary-Kate and Ashley for The Row in the finest of fabrics and most flattering cuts. I adore the simplicity of these designs. They really speak loudly for being so.......uncomplicated. This is how I wish to portray myself. I am a bit more complicated though. At least on the inside;-)  
You really should take a minute and visit The Row website. Find where you can watch the video of the models getting ready back stage and another video of the actual The Row Fall 2010 fashion show. Of course you will be able to view all of the collections as well. This website really gave me the feeling of what the designers wanted to get across. Which to me was finding something so incredibly beautiful in simplicity. 



Please become a fan of Laura's Style on Facebook to see more designs from the Olsen twins in my 'Mary-Kate + Ashley = FABULOUS' album.

Fashion Is For Models. STYLE Is For Real Women.

The fashion world has always favored skinny models to show off the latest trends. But it's the real women who actually buy them. Why does this make sense? Well I guess when it comes right down to the brutal truth, people buy things that look good. And lets face it, clothes look better when they are smaller. It's kind of like when I go into a store to try on shoes and the one on display that I am attracted to is a size 6 or 7 and then the sales clerk brings out my size (9 or 9/2) and I'm like "That's not the same shoe, is it? The one on display looks different!" The clerk tells me that it is in fact the same shoe. Suddenly, I don't want to try it on anymore. So, I just want to tell all you ladies out there who are not a size 4 in a dress that I get it. But we can't let it bother us.  Fashion is everywhere and marketing is everywhere and the majority of it is big beautiful pictures of skinny people. Keep in mind, models in magazines have the b...

FALL for Flowers!

{Leifsdottir Alegrias tiered floral skirt} Totally unpredictable and completely cool. Flowers for fall are exactly what you need to take your "I miss summertime" blues away. There are no rules in fashion. It's just about achieving a look that is your best and that you feel good in. Who says plaid is the only print you can wear in the fall? Now, don't get me wrong. Plaid is one of my favorite patterns. So maybe we can mix them together! {See below} Flower patterns are fun and so glamorous during any season. Just make your floral skirts a little more fall like by wearing a pair of colorful tights! Can you say FLOWER POWER?! And we are going to need some major FLOWER POWER especially when the temperature begins to drastically drop. {Christopher Kane ~ garden leather mini skirt} {Carolina Herrera}

The Necessary Black T-Shirt

I have to admit, I have not been getting dressed up much these days. I think it has something to do with just wanted to be comfortable. I have been sewing a ton of masks at The Maine Square   and it just feels better to not be confined in my clothing as I am cutting fabric and sewing. However, I do have to go out of the studio occasionally. Mostly it's to the mailbox, but sometimes it's to get more supplies and of course food. I don't mean to sound pretentious or anything, but I do think about how I look even when going out to do these quick errands. It makes me feel good to look half decent! Lately I have been opting for a simple black tee shirt and a pair of semi faded jeans. All I need to do it pop on a camel colored blazer and some ballet flats and I am good to go! Oh yeah, and I ALWAYS wear a mask when entering a public facility these days. I think it's just common courtesy with all that is going on with the corona virus.  Here are some of my all-time favori...
