Luckily for us, this means we get to emulate a bit of that sought after Olsen style… Their Holiday 2009 collection from Elizabeth...

  • Lunchtime buy: Miu Miu cropped leather gloves
    The leather glove is never far from the fall catwalks. This season, designers paid particular attention to the trend by adding finer details and playing with length. Zac Posen offered over-the-elbow while Thakoon and Fendi stayed just below.
