No need to fade to black now that winter’s here. If Pantone Color Institute’s pick for color of the year, the bold hue
Tangerine Tango, is any indication, fashion houses are looking on the bright side in 2012. And now you can take your pick of neon shades without venturing out into the cold. Go-to online retailer ShopBop just launched an exclusive online capsule with TEXTILE Elizabeth and James (Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen’s ultra-casual line), and each piece is packed with color. From shockingly pink
skinny jeans to a highlighter yellow
cropped denim jacket, it’s clear that the Olsen’s bright palette is Pantone inspired.
And if you don’t want to don neon from head to toe (or even waist to toe, in colored denim), you can always opt for electric-toned accessories to add a spark to your wardrobe. Try a pair of
punched-up pumps or let your colors show with a
neon bow.

Fashion's favorite pint sized powerhouses will be starting up yet another style venture this summer. This July, the twins will launch their newest website Stylemint.com, a monthly on-line shopping club. The idea is that members will fill out surveys and quizzes to help create a personalized shopping experience and the items offered will be specifically tailored each individual. According to a recent Vogue.com article, the Olsens wanted this to have a change to "engage with customers directly." The line will begin in July with a collection of Olsen designed t-shirts starting at $29.99 that are certain to sell out immediately. With so much recognition as of late (see their spread in April's Vogue) there is no better time to invest in a bit of the Olsen name. Visit Stylemint.com to be added to the mailing list and to become one of the first buyers!
