Don’t know what Twitter is? It’s a social networking and microblogging site that lets you share thoughts, links and more in 140 characters or less. It’s weird to start, but once you get the hang of it, it’s great fun! Try it!

I’ll be sharing what’s happening on this site there as well as other smaller or random Olsen-related thoughts!

Here’s how to get the look for less.

Start with quality basics, like this long-sleeve cotton tee from Banana Republic (middle top, $32.00) and these wide-leg linen pants from White House (left bottom, $29.99).

Black flip-flops (middle bottom, $6.99, Charlotte Russe), black sunglasses (left top, $5.99, Charlotte Russe), a brown belt (right top, $11.00, Buckle) and a purple suede bag (right bottom, $6.98, Target) complete the look.

I must day I really don’t like this look. The skirt is frumpy and shapeless and drowns Ashley. Had she paired it with something girlier - perhaps boho sandals and a nice tank - it would work. Oh well.

I wonder if Ashley is dressing this casually as part of some plan to get the paparazzi off her back or to detract attention from herself in general. Her red carpet choices lately have been bold and fashion forward, but her day-to-day fashion hasn’t. What do you think?

I guess MK is done filming Beastly; in Montreal, as her role as Kendra the witch is pretty small. They recently announced that Peter Krause from Six Feet Under joined the cast as the Beast’s father.

What do you think of Mary-Kate’s sweater and heels look? Is it great for a summer meeting? Or just messy?

The July 20th issue (the one with Michael Jackson’s kids on the cover with the headline “Inside Their Shattered World”) reports that Justin spontaneously popped the question over a romantic dinner one night. The proposal was so impromptu that he didn’t even have a ring.

“They were out at dinner and drinking champagne when Justin asked her,” their source claims. “She said yes immediately! She was in tears.”

The couple couldn’t be happier, the source claims. “She knows that he truly loves and understands her,” they say. “They’re just both so thrilled.”

I don’t believe this story for a second and I won’t until I see a giant ring on Ashley’s wedding finger. That being said, if it is true, I’m very happy for them! Justin seems like a good match for Ashley and she seems very happy with him.

After the coffee run, she headed over to DualStar’s offices to check in there. She told Hamptons magazine that she visits the offices about once a month to keep up to date on the happenings on the other coast!

What do you think of Ashley’s all black look?

I love this flirty Bell skirt from the Elizabeth and James Spring 2009 collection. It’s perfect for the summer!

However, it’s still a bit pricey for my wallet. Even on sale for $150, as it is at Ivy Blue, it’s too high for me.

Luckily, Forever 21 has a very similar skirt. Their Rose Garden Skirt has the same high waist, a similar print and bell shape.

The hem is a bit softer, but at 1/10 the price, I can deal! It’s only $17.80 and you can order it here.

The movie is based on the book of the same name by former Simpsons writer Larry Doyle. It’s a really funny book, so I’m looking forward to seeing the movie!

Hayden looked great in what is a Fall 2009 Elizabeth and James puff-sleeve mini-dress. It’s not yet available in stores, but Hayden looks so great in it, I might save up and snag this look for myself. She paired it with Guisepe Zanotti booties and a purple Nancy Gonzalez clutch.

I love this look!

Unfortunately, it’s pretty pricey at $425 through ShopBop.

Luckily, Free People has a jumpsuit that’s very similar! It has the same halter top and wide leg bottom. It’s a bit sexier in the front and back than the Elizabeth and James one, as the v-neck is quite deep and the back is a bit lower. However, I think this adds a more youthful vibe to the overall look.

The Free People jumpsuit is $88 through Bloomingdale’s.

It’s available through Bloomingdale’s for $395.00.

A cheaper alternative is the Cheap Monday Oversized Linen Jacket from Urban Outfitters. It’s also made of linen and also has the one button detail. It’s missing the peak lapel and the three-quarter sleeves, but roll them up and you’re good to go!

The Cheap Monday blazer is currently on sale for $99.99.
