Ashley Olsen was spotted on her way back to her car after scouting out some retail space close to the twins' home away from home, Maxfield's in LA, earlier this week. Ash has had another busy week home in California, but now it's time for a little relaxation over the long
holiday weekend. Whether or not she's willing to brave the
Black Friday crowds to score some sales, she could always gift her loved ones with pieces from one of their lines or their new coffee table book.

This is just one of the 257 pages in Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen's book
Influence. Isn't it fun? There are several of these collage-style pages with the sisters' picks.

Ashley Olsen wasn't showing any signs of stress from
the current economy shopping at the Hermes store in LA yesterday — getting a start on
holiday shopping perhaps? She's not the only one with a generous spirit,
Fab's giving away eight signed copies of Mary-Kate and Ashley's gorgeous new book
Influence. It would make an excellent present for anyone, or a fabulous addition to your coffee table.

When the Cruz sisters throw a party, you better believe it's going to be filled with fashionable A-listers. In celebration of the newly renovated Mango flagship in SoHo, Monica Cruz hosted a fete filled with
beautiful clothes and lovely party-goers. Solange Knowles performed for giddy guests Marc Jacobs, Dakota Johnson Griffith, and Ashley Olsen, to name a few.

Diane von Furstenberg always knew the woman she wanted to be. But something tells me the enigmatic Olsen sisters are still on their journey for self-discovery. In their New York Times bestseller
Influence, which
we've been raving about since day one, the sisters take us on a visual journey of people — photographers, designers, artists, writers, icons — who have influenced them.

Mango relaunched its SoHo store last night with dinner at Shang, a party, and some celebrities to help celebrate. While Mary-Kate was
over in Dubai, Ashley Olsen posed by herself in a casual all black dress. She rolled solo, but rumor has it Ashley's boyfriend Justin is
moving in to her LA house as things get more serious between the two.

Way
back in February I reported that the Olsens were to release a book about their influences interviewing key designers and celebrities that they loved. Well, imagine my excitement when the coffee table book finally landed on my desk this week! The Olsens are
busy promoting the book around the US but it isn't released here until 27th November.

Ashley Olsen grabbed just the necessities to step out in the sunshine with Justin Bartha in LA yesterday. They matched their dark sunglasses and coffee cups — she's been mixing it up from her staple
venti Starbucks these days. She's been busy
promoting Influence with Mary-Kate, but she's still making quality time with her cute boyfriend a top priority.

A while ago I said I hated taupe. Times change. I especially thought it wasn't a flattering color on blondes.
