Michelle Obama has a pretty good track record when it comes to choosing up-and-coming fashion designers. In fact, by the looks of this year's CFDA nominees, we're thinking Mrs. O is a designer's lucky charm.

And since the CFDA awards ceremony -- where rising stars in fashion are recognized -- is fast approaching (Monday, June 15), here's the big question in fashion circles: Will Mrs. Obama drop in on one of the fashion industry's biggest nights? The bigger question: If so, who will she wear?

She's worn Thakoon looks to support her husband at the Democratic National Convention (above left) and to travel to Europe. Thakoon is up for the Swarovski Award for womenswear.

She's worn Narciso Rodriguez designs for election night (above middle), to the We Are One Concert, and to meet with Carla Bruni in France. Rodriguez is up for the CFDA womenswear designer of the year.

She's worn Jason Wu creations to meet the Queen of England, to travel to London and to the Inaugural Ball (above right). Wu is also up for the Swarovski Award for womenswear.

Eye on spring: Navy eyeliner

Looking to switch up your look for spring? Maybe you want to find something a little less heavy than regular black eyeliner? You're in luck -- according to The Budget Fashionista, navy eyeliner is the way to go for spring '08.

Models on the spring runway for Narcisco Rodriguez wore an indigo gel liner because, according to Dick Page (the make up artist responsible), "Navy is more mysterious than basic black."

I don't know about the whole "mysterious" thing, but I do like the look. It's just a bit more exciting, adding a little extra "oomph" to your everyday makeup. Plus, it can make the whites of your eyes look a bit brighter (you know, the blue vs. red rule, like when you wear lipstick with a more bluish tone of red or pink, it makes your teeth look whiter -- same thing, only for your eyes).

The Budget Fashionista recommends the L'Oreal HIP Navy Eye Liner Pencil for $8, but I'm sure your favorite makeup brand has their own. Give it a try!
