I need to be kept from the general public today. I want nothing so much as to distribute random acts of cutting wit and crushing social humiliation to the unwitting strangers I come across today. It's a problem.

Ashley Olsen is one of my biggest style inspirations. I love her minimalist vibe, her understated cool, and the way she works really luxe things like fur or feathers in nonchalant, everyday ways.

This picture kills me: the not-overly-trendy sunglasses, white shirt tucked in to classic cropped pants, simply constructed sandals, and the artless way she throws on the scarf. There is a huge difference between this girl and the kind of celebrity who needs a stylist.

The combination of men's shirt and denim cut-offs is is one of my favourite summer looks - in fact, I pretty much wore the same thing today, only with desert boots instead of clogs. I think the fact that she wears those things says a lot about Ashley.

She should be the face of Calvin Klein - I never appreciated CK before I started noticing her wearing it.

This is so cute, definitely the inspiration behind one of my go-to fall/winter looks last year.




I may admire Alice Dellal's edginess, Emma Watson's looks, and Diane Kruger's red carpet style, but Ashley Olsen consistently inspires me with her everyday style - "street style", if you will - which in the end has a way greater impact on my life. Combining a utilitarian sensibility with a cutting-edge sophistication, this is one style icon who will only get better with time.

1.
I'm at my cottage for a week, but will try to post with semi-regularity anyway. However, the weather is lovely, I have tons of family here, and I'd like to acquire a teensy bit of a tan. So we shall see.
2. Check it: Racquel Zimmerman goes both ways.
3. These aren't my thing, but I think they're pretty cute and agree with fashionologie that this could be a mayjah fad in downtown footwear.
4. This picture doesn't really do anything for me (although Jak & Jil is my favourite, favourite blog), but I love Rad Hourani and the pieces are sick - the exact kind of thing I like to build my wardrobe with. That was a hint, Rad.
