Finally, handbags from the Olsen sisters that we can afford. The duo is releasing a full handbag line under their Elizabeth and James label. {HuffPo} The Dolce and Gabbana tax evasion trial is heating up in Milan, but there's a good chance the designers themselves won't be asked to take the stand. {WWD, subscription required} What retirement? David Beckham just signed a five-month contract to play for Paris St. Germain, and because he's the most perfect man on earth, will donate his entire salary to needy children. {US Weekly}

Spring merchandise is about to hit the racks, and with the mild winter we've had, we are itching to get our hands on some warm-weather goodies. So we all went pretend shopping--which hopefully will soon turn into real shopping. Picks from our favorite designers, from 3.1 Phillip Lim to Céline are here, as well as a few unexpected products like a new MacBook Air (a business expense!). Click through to see what Fashionista editors are coveting for spring--not all of it is within our budgets, alas, but we can dream. What are you dreaming of adding to your closet this spring?

Fashion News Roundup: Karlie Kloss Covers Harper's Bazaar Australia, OliviaPalermo.com Coming Soon and Another Olsen Bag Line

Kristen Cavallari Shot A Wedding Spread And Then Ended Her Engagement: The Hills star shot this Life&Style wedding spread and then broke off her engagement with Jay Cutler two days after the photos were released (presumably not because of said photoshoot). The pictures are gorgeous but that's probably no consolation; bet she's having a really not fun Sex and the City movie moment right about now. {MTV Style} Karlie Kloss Covers September Harper's Bazaar Australia: Excuse my Tyra phrasing, but this is FIERCE. Victor Demarchelier captured Kloss' signature stare head-on. I feel she's boring into my soul. I like it. {Fashion Gone Rogue} The McQueen Exhibit Is Open Until Midnight On It's Last Two Nights: On Saturday, August 6 and Sunday, August 7, Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty will be open to the public until midnight, the latest the museum has ever kept an exhibit open. A spokesperson remarked, "These midnight hours will mark a fitting conclusion to this powerful exploration of McQueen's work." We couldn't agree more. {Met Museum}

Exclusive: Elizabeth and James Spring 2011 Lookbook

To say that we would wear every, single thing in Elizabeth and James' Spring 2011 collection would not be an overstatement. Designers Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen, also behind that little brand The Row, have gone Parisian for spring, as evident in this exclusive preview of their lookbook. There's a sheer mint blouse, a blush gypsy dress, as well as silk shorts, pants, and blazers in a range of muted colors. Very Clémence Poésy, if you ask us. The highly-anticipated sunglasses range is also on full display, and it's priced between $155 to $265. What's so incredible about Elizabeth and James--other than the fact that the clothes are so good and reasonably-priced--is the breadth of categories they cover. The brand currently encompasses women's apparel, shoes, jewelry, eyewear and the more casual, denim-centric division: TEXTILE Elizabeth and James.
