First of all... I was shocked to find that when typing Mary-Kate's name into google it still came up with anorexia. She was diagnosed with the disease just after her 18th birthday, and is now 24. Although anorexia is said to have relapses, its sad to see that this is one of the things that haunts her in the media, rather than her success in the fashion industry for example.

You were one of the unlucky ones if you didn't enjoy the Mary-Kate and ashley so little time series, films, and books.
They're best book by far though is INFLUENCE:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Influence-Mary-Kate-Olsen/dp/159514210X/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1292883254&sr=1-2

This coffee table book is beautifully aesthetic, with images and interviews of the people and things that have influenced them in life, and in their fashion careers.
It is by far one of the best books on my shelves.

Lets take a few minutes to admire some beauts:

I haven't really payed too much attention to their collections The Row and Elizabeth and James, but had a little look today.
Although The Row is supposed to be the more high end, expensive collection, I was much more impressed with Elizabeth and James, which had a ton more imagination behind it's designs.

These pieces have a much more youthful, fun feel about them. Definitely something I am much more likely to wear myself.

KARLIE KLOSS

The model Karlie Kloss is by far one of my favourites out of the younger models currently. Her effortless expressions, coupled with her long hair, and long long legs makes her perfect for both the catwalk and the magazine pages.
I first noticed her in a Teen Vogue magazine I bought from the airport a long long time ago in a shoot with Chanel Iman and Ali Michael in August 2006:

This apparently, was just the beginning!

Here are some images of the girl at work:

She was born in August 1992 in Chicago, but grew up in St Louis Missouri. She is a ballet dancer as well as a model, which surely gives her an advantage over other models.

She was first signed to Elite model managing, before moving to Next model managing in 2008.

She is 6 foot and a 1/2 inch, and is said to enjoy baking- and has sent cupcakes to say thank you to people in the industry in the past, such as Teen Vogue's Amy Astley.

That little BLUE dress

From watching the hills episode with Heidi and Spencer's wedding the one thing that most caught my eye was Lauren's dress as she discretely left the building.

A blue Red Valentino with a classic cut:

I found it on Polyvore.com for $611.

Here it looks much longer than it did on Lauren Conrad. Perhaps a little shortening?

She has continued with a long line of blue dress wearings:

Latest photoshoots

Our most recent project for uni I'd say has been the most creatively freeing.
We have to come up with a concept for a new magazine.
Mine is a DIY styling magazine.
Here are just some of the photos I may be using for the photoshoots:
