In the Fall of 2007, Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen launched their “Elizabeth and James” collection. The line is geared towards the thrifty trend shopper - and since the recession has made thrifty shoppers of us all, we’ve been eager to see what they’ve got lined up for Fall 2009.
These savvy fashionistas did not disappoint. Just check out the diverse range of style with this year’s footwear collection. A little boho chic, a little glam, a little grunge - the girls have a heel for every occasion and every mood.
We love the down-to-earth appeal of this line, and the fact that the Olsens were into affordable fashion before the recession made it cool(/necessary). These girls are serious trend setters that are always worth keeping an eye on!
