Girl Crush: Elizabeth Olsen - from Bri of Bricolage

Bri from Bricolage is a fab lady with fab style who had one of the most beautiful weddings I've ever seen. And I'm thrilled that she's here to share a girl crush with you while I'm away.

Like many girls my age, I grew up girl crushing on the Olsen twins.  But these days, it's their younger sister, Elizabeth, who I just can't get enough of.


Although having style icons for sisters, not to mention a successful fashion label named after you, certainly increases your odds of getting media attention, Elizabeth appears to be earning her time in the spotlight all on her own. After receiving rave reviews at Sundance for her upcoming films "Martha Marcy May Marlene" and "Silent House", I'm sure we'll be seeing a lot more of this 22-year-old NYU theatre student.  Before we know it, she might be the one saying, "I am the cute one... they're just my sisters!"

Even though most of her looks seem to consist of pieces from her sisters' high fashion lines, The Row and Elizabeth and James, I think that Elizabeth's style is totally down-to-earth and accessible on a budget.  Maxi length skirts, boyfriend blazers, leather leggings, statement jewelry, and boots combine to give her a quirky edge that is easy to imitate. Here are some pieces I think she'd love:
