The Elizabeth and James collection.

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen presents their new contemporary line, Elizabeth and James. WWD reports that the line is named after the Olsens’ younger sister, Elizabeth, and older brother, James, the twins teamed up with Peter Koral and Jane Siskin, the creators of Seven For All Mankind and LaRok to create this line.

This collection is based on a relationship between a young girl and a boy and to tell a story through the clothing. The contemporary collection is a play on masculine verses feminine and casual versus dressy. For a dressed-up look, the line includes silk dresses and a sequin
minidress that was inspired by one of Mary-Kate’s vintage finds.

Elizabeth and James will launch domestically with four collections for spring, fall, holiday and resort in limited distribution. Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman Marcus and Intermix has already picked up the line for fall. With wholesale prices ranging from $40 for T-shirts to $452 for a fox-fur trim coat, I guess they realized that not many ladies out there can afford $360 leggings under their The Row collection. Are you liking what you’re seeing so far?

These lovely ladies had some interesting looks at the Alma Awards. I feel like these looks almost work, but not really up to their usual red carpet standards. Let us know what you think!

Gladiator sandals are everywhere these days, so it's nice to see a pair that stand out from the crowd. These Sigerson Morrison ikat gladiator sandals that both Rachel Bilson and Kimora Lee Simmons are wearing definitely make a statement. While Rachel wore the white version of the sandal, Kimora has opted for the black. Personally, I like both pair and would love to own either one, lol. Notice how each lady keeps the rest of her outfit fairly simple. With such detailed shoes as these, you don't need many accessories to complete your look. If you'd like to own these sandals, you can get them from Zappos for $500.
