I almost didn’t recognize the other half of the Olsen twins. Ashley was snapped leaving her New York City apartment and I must say she does not look like her usual self.

There were no layered boho clothes, no heavy oversized bag, no scarves and multiple accessories, and no Starbucks drink on her.

The 23-year-old actually looks like a normal person in her cut-off jean shorts, flats, and comfortable white blouse. And look, she’s even has her cute pooch, a French Bulldog, in her arms!

The spring look suits you well, Ashley!

Do you prefer Ashley’s more comfortable California-like getup or her signature layered boho look?

Hooray for fashionistas! They dare challenge fashion convention and make us look forward to their red carpet photos because we know they won’t be wearing the usual glam gowns.

See which celebs rose to the occasion at the UK Elle Style Awards last Tuesday.

Kristen Stewart: “Coz I got one hand in my pocket, and the other one’s…” receiving an award? The shy Twilight star got the Woman of the Year award and didn’t disappoint with her Emilio Pucci dress.

Now you know why there were named Elle’s Style Icons of 2010. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen rocked their own signature styles—Mary-Kate in her gothic Lanvin, and Ashley in her tulle couture Christian Lacroix.

I don’t know who else could rock a python-print gown. Supermodel Naomi Campbell, 39, was given the Outstanding Contribution award for her 25-year career and her work as global patron of The White Ribbon Alliance (WRA), which promotes safe pregnancy. She dedicated her award to the late Alexander McQueen.

What baby bump? Danii Minogue managed to hide her bun in the oven with this one-shoulder yellow gown by Australian designer Lisa Ho.

Model Alexa Chung shows off her Editor’s Choice Award, as well as her powder blue dress from the Chanel Spring 2010 collection.

It’s about time they came up with their own label. Celebrity twin moguls Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen tied up with J.C. Penny to launch Olsenboye, a teen line that promises to sell stylish Olsen designs for under $50. The clothes finally made it to the J.C. Penny racks this week.

“Inspired by trends and qualities unique to beloved cities around the world, each travel-themed Olsenboye collection offers stylish options that allow customers to express themselves and celebrate their journey through life with fashion,” the official website said. “The mix and match collection offers clothing and accessories: denim, dresses, skirts, shorts, jackets, handbags, and shoes with spirited, edgy styling evidenced by peace signs, graphic pins, and signature touches throughout.”

The designs actually don’t represent the twins’ personal styles, such as their famous bohemian look. Instead, Olsenboye is an expression of their travels and films. And when they say "films," they're actually referring to video adventures revolving around Olsenboye Girls, who are dressed in none other than Olsenboye clothes. The videos will be uploaded regularly on the website.

What do you think about the Olsens’ foray into fashion design?

I have to admit that although she is about 3'4" and isn't known for much more than being the reason Heath Ledger is dead, Ashley Olsen isn't looking too bad here. Maybe it's because she doesn't have her siamese twin with her holding her back, but it works out well for her. The dress might be a little too much, but I can forgive that.

When looking back at your career, would you be proud to know that your shining acting moment was in Full House? Well guess what? Every single person that ever appeared on the show has that thought. I mean is it like an Olsen twins curse or something? These girls barely had any lines and were babies when they starred on the show, but they end up being the millionaires of the bunch.

Go figure.

Only person that can hold his head high is Bob Saget because he is a bad booty mofo. I mean have you ever seen his standup? The guy is probably the dirtiest comedian you will ever come across, but you would never guess that by watching the show.

So should we talk about Ashley or not? I choose not because she isn't that exciting and can you imagine being at a party and not having any idea which Olsen you are talking to? I mean they either wear nametags or everyone just shows up and says "Heeeeeyyyyyyyyyyyyyy you!" Awkward.

What are they famous for again?

Lance just broke up with designer Tory Burch in October, since she couldn’t deal with a long distance relationship. He nor Ashley couldn’t be reached for comment, their lips, er, sealed.

The Ashley of the Olsen twins was sighted outside of her Los Angeles office earlier this week & I almost, almost, didn’t recognize the tiny sweetie.

Ashley was seen donning some exceptionally reasonable clothing, which made me think this was certainly not the Ashley that I know.   But then I saw the mile-high heels & knew this was our gal.  It’s a wonder that this petite actress can even balance on those things, but then maybe she has the strongest ankles in Hollywood…

Hehehe.  Don’t you just love keeping up with the stars from “Full House”?  Our favorite uncle Jesse, John Stamos, appears to be enjoying his booze a little too much these days.

During a press tour in Australia for TV show “ER”, Stamos showed up for two separate interviews more than a little off his alcohol rocker. 

Hilariously, when Stamos was asked in one interview if he still keeps up with the Olsen twins, Uncle Jesse replied, “It was interesting the time they were going through some of their issues, um, certainly Mary-Kate.”

“I was getting divorced, so, um, I think Ashley was kind of alone, and, um… at a beach house, and she came down to stay with me… but, um, I think they’re doing really well now…”

While Stamos explained away his behavior on being “jet lagged”, I think we all know the man probably had one appletini too many.
