Here's a first look at Ashley Olsen on the cover of the September issue of FASHION. It's a beautiful set of photographs with, of course!, only pruned lips involved and a lot of dark eyes. Am all over the heavily lined eyes. If only my eyes weren't so oily.

Ashley and Mary-Kate are adding a denim line to their growing label. I won't lie - I like Elizabeth & James. A LOT. More than The Row. It's good clothes. Textile Elizabeth & James will be available this fall. Will be interested to see if the twins can do jeans.

As for the article - Ashley talks about how it all started (she made 2 pieces for friends) and her boyfriend Justin Bartha (who was NOT Jennifer Aniston's mystery date) and whether or not children are in her future.

She also breaks down how she and MK run the business. This made my life:

Contrary to popular belief, Mary-Kate and Ashley are two very different women with different roles in their companies. Ashley is the main brain behind the brand building, while Mary-Kate’s creative strength is storytelling— she often works on the “narrative”of a collection.


The "narrative" of something is my new favourite job description.
