Elizabeth Olsen: I Never Borrow Mary-Kate and Ashley's Clothes
What a waste of having fashionable sisters. Break-out actress Elizabeth Olsen says she hasn’t borrowed clothes from Mary-Kate and Ashley since she was 14. If my older sisters were Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, I wouldn’t even go to sleep in anything less than a $300 t-shirt in taupe from The Row.

  Anyways, Elizabeth Olsen says the reason why she can’t wear Mary-Kate and Ashley’s hand-me-downs is because she is so much bigger than them. Right, I forgot about how those Olsen twins are tiny pixie women.

Selena Gomez wants a career in fashion. I could have told you that, show me a celebrity without a fashion line and I will give you a million dollars. That's right...a million doll hairs.

Selena already has a line for K-Mart called Dream Out Loud that she launched in 2010. She just launched the Fall 2011 collection and also models in the ads.

"I think right now, and the time that I am with my generation, I definitely feel that K-Mart is the best choice for me, because obviously, they can capture my line the way I want it and the prices can stay at a minimum," says Gomez.

But Selena says she has her sights set higher than K-Mart. "But one day, I would love to maybe do a high-end fashion line. That would be really fun."

The shoes come in three categories, Plaid, Wool & Cashmere, and Herringbone. The regular TOMS shoes usually only come in canvas, so this is the designer version of TOMS. The shoes run from $98-$150, which is about 3 times the price of the average TOMS shoes.
