| | why?
because it's been awhile since i've posted about mk, or any quality journalism for that matter ... (because it must be quality if it's in the times, right? hmm? jayson blair who?) and in true documentary style, i think the content speaks for itself.

I have a large, red quilted Chanel bag
that I borrowed from my sister Ashley. I wore it to an event and never
gave it back. Luckily, she's moved on to another bag, so I'm safe for
now. I'm not quite sure how many bags I have, but let's just say I have
a few. When I find a bag I like, I tend to wear it to death until I
become obsessed with another one. This probably happens three to five
times a year. But I always come back to the Chanel. The size isn't
overwhelming, and it has enough subtle detail to keep it interesting. I also have the smaller
version in blue and in white, but the red is definitely my favorite. I
don't have a stylist — I'd rather just do my own thing and put together
my own outfits. The chain-handle bag is the perfect accent to almost
any combination I come up with. I look at everything with a designer's
eye, but I wouldn't change a thing about this bag. I think that's why
it's a true classic. from the contributors page:
With her latest clothing line, The Row, Mary-Kate Olsen has graduated
from the style pages to the garment district. Available at Maxfield and
Barneys, the high-end knitwear is designed by Mary-Kate and her sister
Ashley and their friend Danielle Sherman. The Row cements Olsen’s
status as a fashion icon. In recent seasons, her much-photographed look
— layers, leggings and giant sunglasses — has influenced collections by Marc Jacobs and Chanel. In turn, she says, “My clothing lines are inspired daily by
fashion, art, music and culture.” Olsen praises her portable source of
daily inspiration: her Chanel bag.
PS. can you believe doesn't use a stylist? well, you can, but you know, shocking nonetheless.
PPS. i made reference to the classic mk & ash movie to grandmother's house we go in an earlier post. did you know that grandmother's house is the same one that is on men in trees? and the same one seen in the photos of this summer get-together? i know, c-r-a-z-y... don't even try to pass off my town as "seattle" - i know it's vancouver in a minute flat. it's a totally useless gift.
