Elizabeth and James is the second high-end line to come out of the talented (and fashionable) Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. After seeing their line, "The Row" come into manufacturing about a year ago, they are now debuting their slightly less expensive line, aimed towards women in their late teens and 20s who have not only impeccable taste but hefty wallets as well.
When I woke up this morning, I was delighted to see that the line is now available at NeimanMarcus.com. You can see the full line
here, but here are a few pieces that I've already got my eye on:
This minidress, seen here in "lipstick pink," is absolutely perfect in its simplicity. The color is breathtaking, the length of the sleeves is exactly what I've been looking for all over, and the neckline is the most flattering you could ask for. However, it also screams "look at me" with its length, which definitely deserves the title of "mini." The dress also comes in an opulent purple and black, and costs $275.
Even though at first glance this outfit doesn't seem like something I'd wear, I'm still madly in love with it. The pants are perfectly fitted, but the piece that I'm falling for is the top -- and it's all in the details. On the back, you can decide whether you'd rather go with a loose, more androgynous fit for the day or you can button it together to create a more fitted look, as seen here on the model. Brilliant. Bonfire shirt, $225; Super Skinny Pants, $275.
Just as the goal of the line stated, this outfit has perfectly married femininity and masculinity. By shrinking the blazer and making the pants so skinny as to be able to see every womanly curve, the idea that you borrowed this look from your boyfriend's closet will be far out of thought. However, given the practically-legging-style of these pants, I'd recommend that your stems look just like this model's, because they don't appear to be all too forgiving. Button leggings, $145; Boyfriend Shirt, $225; Shrunken Blazer, $375.
