Michelle Obama Style - The First Lady Goes Sunny in Yellow

Michelle Obama may be surrounded by the wives of world leaders at the G8 L'Aquila Summit in Italy, but the First Lady manages to stand out, style-wise, in her summery ensemble!

To visit the ruins at Palazzo del Governo today (July 9), Mrs. O opted for a yellow and white floral Liz Claiborne cardigan (she loves her cardis) over a simple yellow tank, which she paired with J. Crew's "Gâteau" cotton sateen skirt. (The trendy teired piece is already sold out!).

Clearly going by the expression "When in Rome," Mrs. O fastened her cardigan with a beaded brooch by Italian fashion house Moschino.

Mixing American designers with Italian accessories -- the First Lady proves she knows a thing or two about diplomacy!

Michelle Obama's Fashion Misstep?

Fashion forward or fashion misstep? Michelle Obama rocks a quirky and colorful look in London. Photo: Jeff Moore, Landov

After donning an outfit strikingly similar to the one worn by Carla Bruni for the D-Day commemoration in France, Michelle Obama headed to London for a three-day tour.

And just when we thought Obama had covered the style spectrum, the First Lady threw us a curve ball with this madly layered ensemble.

She topped off a be-ribboned and multi-layered tunic (worn over black pants) with two of her signature J.Crew cardigans, then accessorized the layered look with a bold polka dot belt and bright ToyWatch.

We commend the sunny color choices (she obviously takes note of fashion collections like Marc Jacobs), and we're all for pattern mixing and layering, but all the pieces together make for a rather kooky ensemble.

It's also possible that Mrs. O is simply working a relaxed holiday wardrobe. It was an unofficial visit, after all.

In that case, maybe she's just a smart woman making do with what she packed.

Perhaps she just shouldn't wear everything she packed all at once.

Spring '09 - Pretty in Peach

Filed under: Cosmetics, Product Reviews, Beauty Tips



For those of you who long to be on-trend but just can't stomach the thought of rocking up to the office wearing bright pink lipstick or neon polish, fear not: I have something for you -- peach.

Soft, pretty peach is having quite a moment. More exciting than neutrals, but less in-yo'-face than this season's brights, peach makeup has been popping up everywhere that matters.

The J.Crew Collection puts a high price on preppy

Filed under: Stores We Love, Style in the News, Clothing

We've always loved J.Crew for the fact that we can get quality, classic pieces at a decent price -- a dress isn't going to be cheap, but it won't look or feel cheap, either. Still, the price tags were never enough to dissuade us from perusing the racks. At least, not until now.

What a Man Should Know - J. Crew's lifestyle book for men

Filed under: Men, Books

When you come across a book with a title like What a Man Should Know, you might expect the contents to center around the simple things that men don't seem to understand about their relationships with women. Fortunately or unfortunately -- depending on your POV -- that has nothing to do with what J. Crew's first book is about. Chess, wine, how to wear white after Labor Day, these are apparently a few of the topics that author Max Blagg covers in his survey course in the art of being a scholarly gentleman.

Some men might tell you that what you need to know to be a man can't be learned from books -- it's all about true grit and personal experience. Pure lies. According to J. Crew, the transformation from bumbling miscreant to a sophisticated man of the world can be covered in a paperback containing 50 manly pieces of advice. We wonder if it's like the Dangerous Book for Boys for men?

Yeah, we're fishing for a free copy. So what?

Dress of the day - Cashmere Flora Dress

Filed under: Clothing, Dresses, Must Haves


Maybe we're inspired by the Shirley MacLaine Chanel movie, but we can't get enough of chic and easy to wear dresses like this one from J. Crew. It's sophisticated and sporty (let's face it - it's basically a super long tee) but it's the dainty cashmere flower detail at the waist that sold us - we're suckers for things that are beautiful just because they can be.

$238 at J.Crew
