Ashley Olsen was reportedly spotted in LA Wednesday scouting out retail spaces near Maxfield’s.
Unflattering outfit and unsubstantiated rumors aside, I am starving for more information to back up these claims. So, no word on whether it’d be a boutique for The Row, Elizabeth and James, or something else.

Laugh at me if you must, but I am loving the new Elizabeth and James collection by Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen. Really, I did not expect such couture looks from two girls best known for their pre-teen spy movies, but what can I say, I am quite impressed. So what is the collection like? Well, believe the description on the Elizabeth and James website, because I couldn’t have described it better myself:
Inspired by the mix of uptown and downtown, masculine and feminine, and casual and dressy, the Elizabeth and James collection is unique in the mixture of androgynous menswear inspired blazers and shirts with delicate mini-dresses, feminine detailing, sequins and unusual fabrics.
But don’t be fooled, just because this is a star collaboration collection doesn’t mean it’s cheap. Be prepared to fork over $270 for the Eliza vest or $765 for the Plume skirt. But hey, if you’ve got the cash to dish, Elizabeth and James can be purchased on Shopbop.com! Knock yourself out…I know I would!
Visit Elizabeth and James!

Think nothings stronger than the bond between sisters? Ashley Olsen may beg to differ. Rumor has it the star has downgraded her sister, Mary-Kate, concerning her participation in the launch of the menswear collection for their line, The Row. Ashley wants to be seen in a professional light and feels that Mary-Kate’s “antics” are tearing apart any possibility of that happening. Instead, Ashley wants Mary-Kate to focus on the cheaper Elizabeth and James line. How adorable? At least Ashley didn’t totally kick her kin off the cliff!

Yesterday the blogs went crazy discussing the possible separation of Mary Kate Olsen and her twin Ashley’s fashion lines. The demise of the wobbly two-some has been predicted for some time now, because after all everybody loves a good breakup even-if it is among family. The dividing line seems to say that Ashley will design Rick Owen’s rip-off The Row, while Mary Kate will work on the funkier Elizabeth and James. Ashley has reportedly banned Mary Kate from The Row designing duites till she gets her personal life in order. Really? If every designer need to have their personal life in order before they worked, we would never get a collection from Marc Jacobs…..
Here’s a breakdown of the two lines
Elizabeth and James
For the upscale hobo look
The Row
For the sleek, nouveau riche city girl

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen’s jewelry collaboration with Robert Lee Morris for their Elizabeth and James line isn’t supposed to hit stores until September, but Intermix already has a few pieces available for pre-order, $125-$525, including a rad gold dagger necklace. Get it now before they’re sold out.
Thanks Fashionologie for pointing this out.

New to Shopbop, is the Olsen Twins’ (I mean Mary Kate and Ashley, don’t want them to sue me!) clothing line Elizabeth and James. Unlike the Row, E and J is more bohemian with a modern edge. Each piece is named after the musician or movie star that inspired it. Like the Joni tunic for Joni Mitchell or the Garbo jacket for actress Greta Garbo. Here are Fashion Indie’s Top 10 fav’s from their collection:
