Earrings by Plume of The Banquet Brooklyn

I am loving the lavishness and decadence of these earrings by Plume. The gold and diamond cascades remind me of another era one with more style and grace. While the studs can be worn daily adding just the right touch of glamour for any outfit. Available at The Banquet (formerly Council) in Brooklyn.

Michelle Obama: First Lady of Comic Books, Volume 2...

Last spring, First Lady Michelle Obama took her place next to Sarah Palin and Hillary Clinton as a featured star in the “Female Force" comic series. Mrs. Obama may not have any superpowers in the comic book, but she has does have enough star power to warrant a sequel.

The second installment, “Female Force: Michelle Obama: YEAR ONE,” is scheduled for release on Wednesday. The comic sequel brings the First Lady’s story up to date, starting with her husband’s inauguration last January, and chronicles her transition into the White House .

“Even before the first issue on Michelle Obama, we realized we were following a dynamic, continuing portrait of history,” said the publisher of “Female Force,” Bluewater president Darren G. Davis in a statement. “I forsee several more chapters as she creates her own agenda and makes her own mark as a “female force.” Continue reading this article HERE.

I recently had the chance to try this amazing lip gloss by Bloom. It comes in array of yummy flavors and colors. It is the perfect texture. Not too sticky and not too high gloss. It adds wonderful color to my lips and doesn't chap them at all. I can't get enough! Highly recommended.

Military Chic Accessories

With the whole military inspired fashion craze I thought I would post a few items that won't make you feel like Rambo. These 80%20 sandal shoes ($149) are really cute and fun. They have a bit of a safari feel to them as well and will be great for tracking that coyote in Central Park. And the little bit of studded gold bling on this Pyramid Stud Stretch Band Belt by Cara Accessories $118 add just a touch of glam. Both available at Intermix.

For years, we've known about the epidemic of childhood obesity in America. We've heard the statistics—how one third of all kids in this country are either overweight or obese.

The four-day shop is right off Bryan Park and will have cool art, floral elements and digital projection installations, inspired by patterns and prints from the collection and New Yorkers will get the first chance to shop the collection.

Victoria Beckham Would Love to Dress Michelle O.

via HuffPo:
Victoria Beckham has clothed Blake Lively and Jennifer Hudson...and Sarah Jessica Parker even went clad in a Beckham frock to visit the White House. But Victoria hasn't yet realized her ultimate dream: dressing Michelle Obama.

At Elton John's Oscar party, Beckham exclaimed, "I would love to dress Mrs. Obama absolutely absolutely absolutely! I just think she's incredible and she's a very strong woman and she's beautiful."

She added, "I love women and I just want to make women feel good and beautiful and it's just been a huge compliment that ladies have enjoyed wearing my dresses and they look great! It just goes to show they can flatter women of all different shapes and sizes, all different heights, and that's what it's about. It's about creating an illusion and having a great cut."

Michelle O. Wears Prabal Gurung to Donate her Jason Wu Inaugural Gown..

First lady Michelle Obama (wearing Prabal Gurung Spring 2010) and inaugural dress designer Jason Wu look at the inaugural gown she wore to the inaugural balls. I heart a few Prabal Gurung dresses myself from his Spring 2010 line, especially this one, but some people think the first lady should have worn Jason Wu to meet Jason Wu. Thoughts?



First lady Michelle Obama stood with the inaugural gown she wore to the inaugural balls before it went on display at the Smithsonian Museum of American History on March 9, 2010 in Washington, DC.



First lady Michelle Obama hugged Jason Wu, the Taiwan-born designer for her 2009 Inaugural Ball gown, during a ceremony at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History in Washington, March 9, 2010.




In the continuing long tradition of first ladies donating their inaugural gowns to the Smithsonian, Obama's gown, designed by Taiwan-born Jason Wu, will be the new centerpiece for the museum's popular exhibition "The first ladies of the Smithsonian".
