Here’s famous twin/fashion hobo Mary-Kate Olsen on the left with her sister. Come November, Ashley and MK will be releasing a coffee table book about the people by whom they are influenced. Titled Influence, the book will feature many designers, artists and photographers. No word yet if Bob Saget made the cut.

Many people would argue that MK’s style is a little “sloppy”. Though I do find her look to be a wee bit disheveled for my tastes, I do see the bohemian influence in her style, and I wonder if Janis Joplin, from whom I imagine MK’s style derives, will be mentioned in Influence.

MK once again wore that giant, Louis Vuitton leopard scarf, the length of which has made her appear shorter in other instances. Maybe this is why MK paired her outfit with a pair of sky high Prada platforms. The high platform and nude colour of the shoe works to exaggerate the length of her legs, and make the just barely 5 foot MK look a wee bit taller. To try an illusion like this without splurging for Prada heels, try these by Jessica Simpson:

This is the Jessica Simpson “Whena”, a tan platform with unique perforation details. Despite the 4.25″ heel, many people have stated that this shoe is very comfortable. How can you go wrong with that?
