Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen appeared on Good Morning America today to talk about the full launch of their affordable JCPenney line Olsenboye, which includes apparel, handbags and shoes.  Olsenboye was announced in October ‘09 and a limited selection of items were available by November, but today marks the full rollout of the line, which is targeted primarily at juniors.  On Good Morning America, the twins discussed the collection and models were on hand to show some looks.  Of course, I’m primarily interested in the shoes:

Mary-Kate and Ashley partnered with Steve Madden to produce the shoes and handbags in the line.  The looks are definitely youthful and I’m a bit out of that teen demographic, but I’m definitely feeling these shoes, which were featured on the show:

The adorable Olsenboye Madeline comes in black or blush and they’re on sale for $44.99, reduced from $60.  Coupon code URBUDS2 takes another 20% off until 2/8/10, making them just $35.99.

Here is the Olsenboye flat seen on the show:

The suede Olsenboye Sweetie is available in black, pink or yellow for $50.  The coupon code above takes another $10 off, making them $40.

They also feature a pair of jazz shoes, which I don’t see available, and a black boot.  It doesn’t appear the exact boot is available either, but this combat boot is for sale:

The Olsenboye Hailey is marked down to $49.99 from $100.  The coupon code above makes them $39.99.

This pair wasn’t featured on the show, but they are another really cute option from the line:

Olsenboye Sofia in black or pink for $34.99, reduced from $60.  The coupon code drops the price to $27.99.

Paris Hilton

Say what you will about Paris Hilton and celebrity shoe lines in general, but I’m definitely loving the Paris Hilton Senorita.  It’s a pair I mentioned in my bridal shoes post and it has just the right mix of girly-girl and sophistication.  I don’t know, maybe I just have a weakness for bows and shoes that make your feet look like a perfectly wrapped present.  

Valentino

It’s also a lookalike for the Valentino Couture Bow D’Orsay Pump, which is clearly a gorgeous pair, but priced quite high at $695 at Neiman Marcus.  You can get the Paris Hilton Senorita in red for a fraction of the price at Zappos, where it is on sale for $77 (regularly $93).  They also have the pink and black versions for $93.  However, if you’re looking for the Paris Hilton Senorita in black, gold, pewter or grey, Shoes.com has them for $97.  Coupon code CUPID takes another 15% off, dropping them to $82.45 with free shipping.  Coupon expires 2/28/10.

Of note, the Valentino website has the similar bow slingback pump in red satin on sale for $417, reduced from $695.

Fans of The Rachel Zoe Project on Bravo know that Taylor Jacobson is no longer the princess of queen Rachel’s style empire after being fired…or quitting to style on her own…well, it’s a little unclear what happened actually. I can’t say I wasn’t disappointed to hear the news.  Taylor may have come across as moody throughout much of the show and she did complain a lot, but I can understand her work frustration.  After all, she had the highest level of seniority in Rachel Zoe Inc. (besides Rachel, of course), but she always seemed to be stuck with every less-than-glam styling task and all of the legwork while Rachel and her other assistant Brad were seen out and about doing things like meeting with designers, giggling and traveling to Paris together.  Taylor was also frustrated by her lack of advancement to higher-level tasks and, while she did receive a promotion to head of product development for Rachel’s QVC line in the finale, I had a feeling she wasn’t so keen on having Rachel’s hubbie Rodger as her new boss.  Whatever the case may be, you have to admit she was the coolest chick on the show and I’ll miss her edgy, rocker style and deadpan quips next season.  It remains to be seen if Rachel Zoe’s new stylist will truly be able to fill her shoes.  In the meantime, we can check out Taylor’s shoes - her actual shoes - in her blog called Love, Taylor, which is part of her new gig as the face for Everyday Minerals.  In one of her first posts, Taylor reveals the shoes in her closet and - wow - check out all of the Louboutins!

I’ve covered Taylor’s shoes from The Rachel Zoe Project before (also here), so I knew she favored the brand, but I didn’t know just how much.  Red soles everywhere, ladies!  I don’t know about you, but I’m catching a little case of shoe envy right now just looking at it.  In addition to sharing her shoes, Taylor also dishes about other style and beauty tidbits, like her signature Ray-Ban shades, her favorite perfume, a surprisingly simple hair care secret (hint: it’s normally used on baby bottoms only) and, of course, mineral makeup.  And, to help clear things up, she writes, “Since Season 2 aired, I’ve decided to pursue my fashion styling career independently.”  So, there you have it!  You can check out more from Taylor over at Everyday Minerals.
