Teen queen moguls Mary-Kate and Ashley Simpson may have become grown-up fashion goddesses, but they aren’t leaving their roots behind. Best known for their fashion sense as well as their business savvy, the twins are ready to market to a new audience—boys.
MK and Ash have signed 13-year-old twin boys Cole and Dylan Sprouse under their Dualstar Entertainment Group label. You may know these blond cuties from the movie “Big Daddy” and guest appearances on “Friends.” It is expected that these boys will be marketed to boys in the same way that the Olsen’s were, through videos, games, books and of course, fashion and accessories.
The Olsen’s have been touted in the past as innovative designers and trendsetters, and probably are best known for their vintage-chic style and over-sized accessories. However, lately, Mary-Kate has taken the college-slouch look to an unbearable level. Think flannels and torn jeans in the early nineties. Seemed like a good idea at the time…Really, MK, one scarf is enough!

Style Icon-Scarlet Johansson
Where did this girl come from? Remember that scrawny little girl from “The Horse Whisperer” and later the angsty teen from “Ghost World?” Who knew she would become such a knock-out? Like many stars, she started out gawky, sort of doing the punk look, sort of doing the trashy club look. Nowadays, Johansson has really been able to shine in 80’s inspired bright colors or retro 50’s and 60’s lady-like looks.
Lately, Johansson has really been proving herself as an actress in dramatic films like “Girl with a Pearl Earring” and “Lost in Translation” as well as her latest, “The Island.” What many fans may not realize is that behind the scenes, Johansson has also become a top-notch model.
Lately, Johansson has become the face for Calvin Klein’s “Eternity Moment” perfume, as well as a runway model for “Imitation of Christ.” And who better for such classic fragrances and Indie-lines? Johansson is one of THE It girls of the Indie scene, yet has a really classic look. Be it a simple Gap sweater and jeans or full-on 50’s pin-up glam, Johansson really knows how to shine.
Get her look:
Even if you don’t have ample, um, assets, full lips and a tiny waist, you can still get classic glam! Here is what you need:

Fall: Get Lovely in Lace
By Raquel Franco
We can all say farewell to mini skirts and midriffs. Instead of baring it all cover up lace. The sexy fabric will leave much to the imagination. Just check out the red carpet and you will see stars like Jennifer Love Hewitt and Teri Hatcher lacin it up in a classy way. The look is totally feminine and romantic. Be careful not to over do it. You’ll save yourself from looking like My Fair Lady. Just add one of your favorite key pieces (pants or a skirt) in basic black to achieve the graceful look.

In”vest” this Fall
I haven’t worn a vest since my middle school days, when I blindly searched for at least a trace of fashion sense. So I was shocked when, while flipping through my magazines, I was shot back to the awkward time. Celebrities like Jessica, Ashlee and Heidi Klum were sporting the retro top. To my utter amazement and a double take glance, the vest was rather cute. Pulled over a tank or a body hugging long sleeve t-shirt and you have yourself a great casual outfit

For Keeps
It is sad but you may have to part with some of your favorite pieces that are no longer the trend. You may be in luck because some trends are sticking around for the fall.
Metallic: The shimmery texture looks good on everyone. Still feel like it’s too flashy for you? No worries. The handbag is here. Achieve the metallic look with a sexy gold tote.
Long Beads: The sexy accessory is great for fall sweaters. Layering is still in order but say no to turquoise.
Oversized Handbags: We hope these stay forever. Where else would you keep all your crap? Well, if they don’t last forever it’ll still be around another season.
Camisoles: The lacy satin tops are great for playing peek-a-boo with your clothes. It’s the ultimate way to look sexy.
Maybe your favorite summer trend obsession didn’t make the list but store it away. You never know. It may come back some day.
Fashion Falls in Line
