Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen arrived at LAX on Saturday after spending time
back in NYC. Ashley's
favorite black Nikes probably came in handy as she navigated her way through the airport with her boyfriend Justin Bartha, while Mary-Kate was rolling solo without her man Nate. Ashley and Justin headed on home, but Mary-Kate took a break from
enjoying the recession sales to join friends and a canine companion for a meal.
Ashley Olsen Sports Nikes: Love It or Hate It? Looking at the top half of Ashley Olsen's NYC outfit, it appears she may be attending an important business meeting. But the bottom half tells a whole different story. In her black leggings and Nike sneakers, Ashley could very well be going for a run.

Ashley Olsen's NYC outfit, it appears she may be attending an important business meeting. But the bottom half tells a whole different story. In her black leggings and Nike sneakers, Ashley could very well be going
for a run.

Ashley Olsen was dressed down today for an afternoon of running errands in NYC with a couple friends. Of course, for
street style star Ashley, going casual means carrying a huge
Fendi bag and wearing a chic black coat — though instead of
sky-high heels, she sported a pair of Nikes. It's nice to see that even
fashion writer Ashley is willing to kick it in sneakers once in a while like the rest of us.

Here's the thing about sidewalk style: casual everyday looks are usually put together sans stylist. That means, these five stars have some real style prowess. But we already knew that about them, didn't we?

In their New York Times bestseller
Influence, which
we've been raving about since day one, the sisters take us on a visual journey of people — photographers, designers, artists, writers, icons — who have influenced them. Considering the girls have already embarked on several successful fashion adventures: The Row, Elizabeth and James, Robert Lee Morris for Elizabeth and James jewelry, and
soon-to-come Elizabeth and James shoes, I was curious to see what, and who, influences them.
The book is full of eye candy and insight into the lives of the two powerhouses.

Ashley Olsen was spotted on her way back to her car after scouting out some retail space close to the twins' home away from home, Maxfield's in LA, earlier this week. Ash has had another busy week home in California, but now it's time for a little relaxation over the long
holiday weekend. Whether or not she's willing to brave the
Black Friday crowds to score some sales, she could always gift her loved ones with pieces from one of their lines or their new coffee table book.

This is just one of the 257 pages in Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen's book
Influence. Isn't it fun? There are several of these collage-style pages with the sisters' picks.

Ashley Olsen wasn't showing any signs of stress from
the current economy shopping at the Hermes store in LA yesterday — getting a start on
holiday shopping perhaps? She's not the only one with a generous spirit,
Fab's giving away eight signed copies of Mary-Kate and Ashley's gorgeous new book
Influence. It would make an excellent present for anyone, or a fabulous addition to your coffee table.
