A Label by Any Other Name…

mka.jpg
Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen recently debuted the Spring 2008 collection for their cheaper-than-the-Row-but-still-not-that-cheap label Elizabeth & James. It’s already available all over the US, and oddly enough at Urban Outfitters in the UK (or not that odd, Britt says Urban is boutiquier across the pond).


Now get this- Tuesday, psychologist Richard Wiseman unveiled the results of his name association experiment. Which names top the list as “most associated with success”?

Elizabeth and James, of course.

Good news for MK & A, and anyone named Elizabeth or James (although we guess this one didn’t really work out for Jessie Spano), but if this experiment is any indication, all you Lisa’s and Brian’s out there might want to reconsider that diffusion line…

Personally I thought "Showgirls" was a masterpiece. Enter: Sequin vacation dress :-)

I'll take the Garbo jacket and pick up other bits and pieces around Urban Sale-time. Oh the shackles of life on a budget!

Why the hell do they always look so darn sulky? If I had their money, I certainly wouldn't sulk about the way they do. . . and I know that's easy to say, but really. Frowning all the time is so passe.

Elizabeth and James are the names of MK and A's (taller and better nourished looking) siblings....though maybe they chose those too...

I really like their line. What if it was eco-friendly. They are a little thin and super sulky (which they probably believe is chic) in that picture. It makes you wonder where our culture is really going.
